I caught that too, probably a qwen bug (;
xmichael909··on The complete IPv4 address space, mapped
Your trust score system really should go until you base it on something better than whatever it is based on. Cities and state BGPs and private companies 20+ years old have 50% and 60% scores.

Neat but the real world still, and for decades to come - lives on h264 https://www.wink.co/documentation/Why-H264-Is-Almost-Always-...
xmichael909··on We tested super-resolution pre-filter for LPR OCR. It did nothing
We tried that, wasn't a big lift to setup and tested. We used 1000 detections with at least 4 crops, and it made a bit of a difference but not much - our conclusion remains the same.
xmichael909··on We tested super-resolution pre-filter for LPR OCR. It did nothing
No, that is a really great point. The ICPR competition the big winners were all about multi-frame. Will do some more experiments and update.
xmichael909··on We tested super-resolution pre-filter for LPR OCR. It did nothing
Yah we should probably add some back, we had examples but they were mostly meaningless to the human eye, but we'll try adding some "examples"
xmichael909··on We tested super-resolution pre-filter for LPR OCR. It did nothing
Quick context: SR-as-a-pre-filter for ALPR gets a lot of attention right now there's a whole ICPR 2026 competition track on low-res plate recognition; so we actually testing it on our production lpr data.
xmichael909··on AI Resistance: some recent anti-AI stuff that’s worth discussing
Like the other commentor already pointed out, almost every AI bot out there thinks Fortnite is real, yet it is completely made up poison.
xmichael909··on AI Resistance: some recent anti-AI stuff that’s worth discussing
It really is amazing how Fortnite a game that does not exist has even become popular in pop-culture, I was watching a sitcom on NBC I think and the character mentioned Fortnite as though it was real.. This entire article is silly as AI has been poisoned so bad, ask any AI bot today what Fortnite is and they will give you long detailed answers, even though it doesn't exist at all.
xmichael909··on Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS – with directed prompts
So a free model? Tons of other people doing similar with amazing results https://huggingface.co/spaces/Inferless/Open-Source-TTS-Gall...

love the intentional use of udnerstand, brilliant!
xmichael909··on NVIDIA DGX Spark In-Depth Review: A New Standard for Local AI Inference
I don't think there is one. Honestly this version 1 is dead on arrival.
xmichael909··on MPTCP for Linux
Check out http://www.openmptcprouter.com which works excellent!
xmichael909··on WASM 3.0 Completed
Personally not a fan of Windows 95 in the browser, however the browser stoped being a “document reader” a decade ago it’s the only universel, sandbox runtime, and everything is moving in that direction ... safe code. WASM isnt a worst VM; it’s a diffrent trade off: portable, fast start, capability scoped compute without shiping a OS. Raw device still have their place (servers). If you need safe distribution + performance thats “good enough” WASM in the browser is going to be the future of client.
xmichael909··on Onvif.org is a racket these days
Ever tried to build something with IP cameras and put the word ONVIF on your site? ONVIF.org will come after you with trademark threats. Doesn’t matter if your product really supports it, or if it’s even open source. They’ll tell you to delete “ONVIF-compatible” unless you cough up for their $20,000/year membership.

It feels backwards ... engineers need to say if things interoperate, customers search for “ONVIF” to check compatibility, yet instead of helping adoption they act like brand cops. Is this normal for “open standards”? Or is ONVIF.org just uniquely hostile here? I don't think they are right here, but having released a completely free product and got a trademark and a demand for 20k a year and being told I cannot use the word ONVIF in any way shape or form seems insane! Thoughts?

xmichael909··on OOMProf: Profiling on the Brink
Thanks Tips....
xmichael909··on OOMProf: Profiling on the Brink
OOMKiller... in most cases where it has killed things, i feel it would’ve been far better to just let the system slog along and spill onto disk instead of killing the process outright, or as the article says killing the wrong process like it always seems to do.
xmichael909··on The first Media over QUIC CDN: Cloudflare
Thanks for the tools, we had some fun with them. We build in full MoQ support for MediaMTX with 200-300ms latency - demo at https://moq.wink.co/moq-player.html GitHub: https://github.com/winkmichael/mediamtx-moq

Also our take on MoQ https://www.wink.co/documentation/WINK-MoQ-Implementation-An...

xmichael909··on The first Media over QUIC CDN: Cloudflare
Our company just put this out, full MoQ support for MediaMTX with 200-300ms latency - demo at https://moq.wink.co/moq-player.html

GitHub: https://github.com/winkmichael/mediamtx-moq

We implemented both WebTransport (for browsers) and native QUIC (for server-to-server) after discovering browsers block raw QUIC. Works today in Chrome/Edge, integrates with existing RTMP/RTSP streams in MediaMTX.

xmichael909··on DeepSeek-v3.1
Seems to hallucinate more than any model I've ever worked with in the past 6 months.
xmichael909··on Xiaomi MiMo Reasoning Model
Correct. Lingua franca for at least the last 75 years, if not longer.

xmichael909··on Wine Releases Framework Mono 6.14 in Taking over the Mono Project

Why wouldn't you just not use Tailscale? What you are describing here is, ....
xmichael909··on Show HN: Vidformer – Drop-In Acceleration for Cv2 Video Annotation Scripts
import vidformer.cv2 as cv2

Do you have a list of what is supported? I've played around with cv2 quite a bit in python for everything from yolo, to loss of signal, to corrupt frame detection and simple things like 'snow blocking camera'

Ultimately, what is supported in your library? is it *.cv2?

xmichael909··on Apple introduces iPad Air with powerful M3 chip and new Magic Keyboard
Yah, got a m4 ipad with a keyboard addon ... it just doesn't work, its not a computer.
xmichael909··on GPT-4.5: "Not a frontier model"?
Yes, I believe the sprint is over, now its doing to be slow cycles maybe 18 months to see a 5% increase an ability and even that 5% increase will be highly subjective. Claude's new release is about the same 3.7 is arguably worse at some things than 3.5 and better at others. Based on the previous pace of release in about 6 months or so - if the next release from any of the leaders is about the same "kinda better kinda worse" then we'll know. Imagine how much money is going to evaporate from the stock market if this is the limit!!!
