general

it is a compression technique in signal processing

I think JPEG uses it

Alright pirate, the quest to devolope our own unique compression algorithm instead of using a base one that has already been tested and optimized is a go

I guess

the method is storing just a checksum and generating bitstrings until they match

I know a lot of ways to do data "compression" because dimensionality reduction is a very big thing in data analysis

okay need an algorithm for storing both audio and graphics data in a single archive so that redundancies across all files can be reduced for compression. however it also must be able to index and decode any single file in a not noticeable time on a shitty pc, without needing to decompress the whole archive into memory or similar things.

Store it all in memory

there's some very stupid and funny ways to do something like that if you have a GPU to train neural networks on

train one of these for the audio and graphics each and store just the encodings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoencoder

it will sounds like crap so add some audio post processing filters to the engine

I have a 3 hour layover in Denver tomorrow

I've sat in that Denver Ruby Tuesday's on many a layover watching planes taxi around

I wonder what they replaced it with now that they went out of business

why is this being announced so early?

release date specifically, this movie has been known for a long time now

yay california

@Spooky Phijkchu @Phijkchu_Pikachu another leak. This time in the stockroom.

you should find a new place of employment

^

So I apparently underestimated my brother, he's doing a 5-month journey through Canada

He's leaving in a week for Halifax, NS , and from there he's spending 2-4 weeks in every province

longest was somehow going to be Quebec he said

he has to spend more time figuring out the french

You should convince him to do the terretories too

send him xbrox's way

he is, hold on I'll post the full thing

Starting in Halifax, NS , he's hitting all the Maritimes from there, ~2 weeks total Then 4-weeks in Quebec, staying in a couple places 2 weeks in Toronto, 2 in Winnipeg Then he's doing a 4-week hiking/camping thing through Nunavut Head through Yellowknife (says there's literally nothing there and he's only doing that to check it off the list) so 1-2 days 1-week each for Saskatchewan and Alberta Then 3 weeks in Vancouver (he'll be here for Christmas/New Years), Then he heads north for another hiking/camping thing in the Yukon and from there into Alaska

>2 weeks in Toronto

dude

if you are spending 5 months in Canada, why would you limit yourself to the worst part of Ontario

Ontario has so many great national and provincial parks

So, the other piece of this is it's not vr well planned out

I think I said in vc, he randomly quit his job, and wanted to just fuck off somewhere

and because it's Summer, I think he natrually wanted to fuck off North

Tell him the Canadian you know is encoraging he spend at most 2 days in Toronto and to hit some other cities like Kingston, Paris, etc which are older and nicer

In all these cases I kinda assume he will

Pika, you have to understand how poorly planned this is

I can tell

4 weeks in nunavut is insane

if he hasn't killed himself and actually makes it to Toronto, I'll be lk surprised

that's more the vibe I get

a 1/5th life crisis, where he's following istagram advice to go "see the world" with no concept for wtf to do

I think he is making the mistake of "remote" means better nature to explore, when the reality is nunavut is a shithole

like Halifax, he know's NOTHING about the province

fuck, I knew more random facts about it than he did

he knew it was sorta an island, and they probably had fish there

he doesn't even really do camping/hiking shit

Only thing I could list off the top of my head for Halifax is he should check out the harbour, thats probably one of the more famous locations therw

like I've gone on more multi-day hikes than he has

and only done it 3-times

He is going to die in nunavut

parents kind of expect him to come home after a week in Nova Scotia

"once he gets this out of his system"

Honestly, just a week vacation in nova scotia is probably a decent vacation

its nice enough and on the water

it was really funny talking to him about it

and I'm telling him what the landmarks are, and what things there are to do, telling him the history of it being; essentially, New New England

compared the the US

and he 's like "I bet they have fish there"

Spooky I should try to meme prepare the equivalent 5 month trip through the US

lmao

do it

arizona desert for 4 weeks is my replacement for nunavut

good thing for all the Canadians though, because he's flying to NS, he won't have any of his guns with him, originally I thought he was going to drive up and do some off-road hunting in Nunavut

if he did, I was predicting quite the news story once he snapped

He'd get turned around at the border most likely

lol, Pika

they don't check shit at the border

they wave you through

it's not like a formal immigration checkpoint

This was under the assumption that he'd be retarded enough to just have a rifle visible in the back seat

oh, no not that dumb

lol

Spooky if you drop everything and join him, you could meet 2 phijkchu, 1 ex phijkchu, and someone I cannot name

and like 10 of the new joiners :kappa

yeah, unirronically zero interest in that though

srry bby

Its the worst way to explore Canada, so I don't blame you
