i wonder how many orders of magnitude slower this one will be compared to x264. vp8/9 was like 9x slower last time i checked

I haven't gone as far as thinking about how I would market / make money out of it... I would just want to have that feature. If it's not implemented yet then I'll do it and then maybe try to market it.

But you're right, that's a good way to think about it.

how exactly would you search for the specific feature I proposed? There's hundreds of image apps out there, I doubt there's one that specifically says it does that in the headline.

What I really don't want to do is lose a month implementing something and then realize that there was already something fairly popular out there that solved it.

I would rather not get too attached to my own ideas and tunnel vision implement them and ignore the reality that if there's already a good app for that I shouldn't bother.

Of course they would, you have to have pretty big ego problems to hate on him in the first place. Very few people in power will accept that they're not the smartest most capable guy around. Not saying EY is god and can do anything but I trust more in his potential and competence when he actually starts working on a task than in any random claimed profesional on said task.

You can not write all the POVs in HPMOR and still have 'giant ego' problems. He specifically addresses these issues (scene where harry learns to 'lose').

I think most peoples problem with him is that they hate how brazen he is in taking chances, they might think 'who is this arrogant asshole who thinks he DESERVES to talk to JKR' but the thing is he doesn't BELIEVE he deserves anything. He knows the only price for asking is hate by this group of people and the reward is far greater so why NOT ask?

This is just a praise article, good for him and other 15y/o out there aspiring to do fun stuff but not really HN discussion material.

There's very little specifics in the article like how much power does it generates, how much CO or whatever it uses etc.

For the record VP8 sucks for anyone who needs to support it because it eats up to 7 times more resources than h264 does for transcoding.

To get those things you need willpower and the research was about measuring willpower.

If you want different things that's your choice but for most good things in life you need willpower. You can't do what the guy from "Into the wild" did without willpower.
