Re:Scientific Breakthrough Lets SnappyCam App Take 20 Full-R... by ajpocus on Thursday August 01, 2013 @02:48PM (#6142515)
jpap, this is the best HN thread I've seen in a while. I never comment, but I'm compelled to now, because it's not often I see a hack this mesmerizing and exciting. For a moment, I almost wanted to drop everything and dive into JPEG myself, something I don't think I've felt since reading about John Carmack and his game engine hacks. Even though I understand <10% of the details being discussed, I'm compelled to learn more. Thanks, jpap. :)

I'm so very happy to read your post! :-)

I'm not usually one to post publicly either, but with practice I'm finding it comes more naturally.

I do hope you dive in---the devil's details in image signal processing is really interesting.
