in video/image space most code we deal with day to day is still C, lots more rust plugins in gstreamer ecosystem, but 90%+ still C

spend some time to understand how CV worked before deep learning transformed it in 2012->2014. lots of those techniques are still useful

Still has a way to go, but very exciting.

darn pirates should run the content through a super resolution model!

Netflix also has a huge incentive to not use h265 and h264, licensing cost.

Surely there is a scale limit to how big the application can be using this approach.

>> People created AbstractFactoryFactoryBuilders not because they wanted to,

I don't think this is accurate. people created factories like this because they were limited by interface bounds in the languages they were coding in and had to swap out behaviour at run or compile time for testing or configuration purposes.

I find that these area all pretty bad with more advanced code still, especially once FFI comes into play. Small chunks ok, but even when working with specification (think some ISO standard from video) and working on something simple (eg a small gstreamer rust plugin), it is still not quite there. C(++) same story.

All round however, 10 years ago I would have taken this assistance!

our city has no bio waste. we make all our own dried fruit, eat mostly fresh from market (so little to no plastic for our veggies), but an immense amount of organic waste.

it allows us to get all our organic and bio plastic waste for a big family with pets, including most bones once we have cooked stock from it, in a compost heap in the city.

we tried composting before and the volume of organic waste we produced was too much and we had to dispose a lot of our waste in general trash (our location has no organic waste disposal that runs in our neighborhood) meant animals ripped our curb side bags open.

I am not a degrowther to save the planet either, so a company putting compostable products in place of plastic ones seems like good economic activity.

Space is the main reason. We live in the city and the amount of organic waste we (family of 4 + numerous pets) produce is staggering. additionally meat attracts animals. This I run an overnight cycle and I can add it to my compost heap and let it degrade more and no issues with rodents and other animals who dig through food waste. after using this device, in the future I would always grind/break up my organic waste as fine as possible just to save space.

if you using CV to track the player, the ball etc from a broadcast it is fine, the scoreboard however not so straight forward. fwiw, doing CV from broadcast for accurate scoring of sports is neigh near impossible due to edges, but human in the loop systems exist. there are also numerous in venue CV systems which auto collect game and player information.

great post. I posted in this thread above about using a Lomi to convert our organic waste into organic fertilizer (along with a worm farm), a and cultivating nitrogin fixing bacteria with our outdoor fish pond and a flood and drain system. Soil is great to grow in, if you treat it well.
