> One version of the question we looked at was: how low a pace rate can you pick for an ABR algorithm, without reducing video QoE?

that is certainly an interesting economical optimization problem to reason about, though imho somewhat beyond technical merit, as simply letting the client choose quality and sending the data full speed works well enough.

addition:

i totally agree that things have to look economical in order to work and that there are technical edge-cases that need to be handled for good ux, but i dont't quite see how client-side buffer occupancy in the seconds range is in the users interest.

i did not read that paper with a focus on adaptive bitrate selection for video streaming services that came out 8 years after the pacing implementation hit the kernel. thx thou

probably also marketing, since "dumb-pipes" may seem outdated when all and everything is getting "smart"

> ts oversubscribed as many users share the same link at some point and that link is not big enough to allow all users to use all their bandwidth at the same time.

that's a definition of oversubscription.

> around 70-95% utilization depending on link size.

2/3's with dumb queues, <100% with the computational tradeoff of sqm

just think about your competitive edge if you could manage to cramp more load w/o affecting latency

> my thesis work, where we showed that streaming video traffic [...] can pretty readily underutilize links on the internet today, without a downside to video QoE!

was slightly at a loss in what exactly needed to be shown here until i clicked the link and came to the conclusion that you re-invented(?) pacing.

looks like they only care for drops and not latency

why would you want to differentiate those?

pretty sure top meant RL ppl IRL aka meatspace.

information coming over unqualified electronic channels is not trustworthy anymore

different use case and requirement for samsung device?

not sure if such a thing can work w/o root

i used drivedroid [0] on in the 2010's for this purpose. handy but never essential. requires root though.

how do you measure productivity?

> So if someone is talking to you, you make them remove their listening device just in case they are listening to someone else?

i don't "make them" but i don't feel accepted or heard until they do and this will limit my interactions with them (for better or worse).

> You’re being an asshole and you need to stop this behavior. Wait until it’s clear someone can’t hear you before making this gesture.

seems like you got some things backwards and this is one of them.

> I sometimes wear headphones without listening to music because I don't want my train of thought to be interrupted.

totally understandable as the "right to be left alone" or privacy is essential but undeniably curtailed when in public.

i hope you can appreciate the collective imperative here and acknowledge that it would be super fucked up if everyone would be wearing headphones in public.

...or be heard

it's just fucking with social interaction; maybe that's the point

that's the point: i can't tell and that is uneasing

some do, most don't.

wearing headphones gives way to the assumption that the person is listening to something other than their surroundings; their talking is probably directed at someone on the phone.

hearing aids can be used as headphones as well, but generally aren't.

the best satire is not obvious identifiable as such

interesting. the sing-up friction and overall restrictiveness clearly demonstrate why the grey area is necessary

> There is machine empathy you simply cannot build any other way.

nice term, though imho 'experience' is more apt.

half-life time in the ten-year range should do the trick

and the closure is likely a timed gesture to reinforce the point that those values are indeed still there and worth defending

seems like a possible solution could be pubic places (on the internet) that are not governed by engagement economics

this is iridium though. i suppose there is an internet overlay, but it probably isn't pretty (or fast)

yes, most of the economy actually works by privatizing gains and externalizing losses.

in your example it would probably be you abusing the court system for something that it is not intended for yet obligated to handle

exactly!

i imagine that the demand for problematic imagery is bound by similar dynamics as the demand for murdering ppl with kitchen knifes.

by outsourcing liabilities to the public

iirc more like that you basically need the 'loose mode' because most cpe's are bridging wireless and wired networks, but this then won't protect against the more serious shenanigans
