I first read this as "a soldered-on GPU" :O

Wouldn't an ASIC capable of executing hundreds of types of algorithms more or less just be a GPU anyway? At that point why not just use GPUs?

To achieve asic resistance, why not switch between a large pool of different algorithms sequentially, with their order and various parameters determined by the hash of the previous block?

I doubt Adobe's content aware fill could replace someone's eye or a few of the other examples in the video.

How long until I can use this as a Photoshop plugin?

I'm hoping they can use some of this cash to make a better desktop client:

1. That can be minimized to the system tray.

2. That can be used when behind an http proxy server.

3. Doesn't require a phone to use.

4. Doesn't take 200MB ram to run.

And turn crappy music into good music.

No option to minimize to system tray? So I have to have a Signal App taking up room in my taskbar all the time.

> uncompressed video file

1920x1080 at 3 bytes per pixel and 30 frames per second is 11GB for just one minute of video, and 186MB per second. That's far too big and expensive to stream, and outside of somewhat special circumstances I've never heard of anyone storing video in such a huge format.

> There's no good technical reason not to enable lossless compression

Why would you want to losslessly compress audio or video? The resulting files would be huge--often too huge to steam. Lossy compression is what you want.

I must be misunderstanding the article?

When a private company has a massive failure, customers have the freedom to go elsewhere and the company may go out of business.

When a government agency has a massive failure, we're of stuck with it, short of hoping politicians might do something about it.

Why not develop tox instead, which is open source, end to end encrypted, on more platforms, and seemingly further along in general?

Why not have a "this page would like to perform work in the background [allow|block]" notification?

You could put your propellers outside and away from the cage, with their motors inside the cage. This would also greatly reduce the size and weight of the cage.
