Hybrid AI Video Codecs and Modern Streaming Techniques

/0 Comments/in , /by

Introduction AI and Hybrid Codecs Modern Video codecs are all based on similar principles. Recently, these have been complemented by AI techniques, such as super-resolution, to form hybrid codecs. The current state of the art is one of transition to have one based only on AI eventually: https://deeprender.ai/ Codecs using only AI are several years…

Sinc Function & Upsampling in Digital Audio Explained

/0 Comments/in , /by

Introduction This elaborates some of the claims in my insights article on digital audio. The Sinc Function Upsampling and Zero Insertion The first link in my insights article has a section on filters, but I will detail the most critical case. The bit depth is assumed to be so large for all practical purposes that…

Differential Equation Systems and Nature

/12 Comments/in , , , /by

Abstract “Mathematics is the native language of nature.” is a phrase that is often used when it comes to explaining why mathematics is all around in natural sciences, especially in physics. What does that mean? A closer look shows us that it primarily means that we describe nature by differential equations, a lot of differential…

Why ChatGPT Is Unreliable: Design Limits and Misconceptions

/138 Comments/in , , , /by

ChatGPT’s reliability I’ll start with the simple fact: ChatGPT is not a reliable answerer to questions. Wolfram’s explanation To try to explain why from scratch would be a heavy lift, but fortunately, Stephen Wolfram has already done the heavy lifting for us in his article, “What is ChatGPT Doing… and Why Does It Work?” [1]…

Program ATmega8A with Arduino: Step-by-Step Guide

/2 Comments/in , /by

Introduction If you are interested in programming and electronics, you probably do not need an introduction to Arduino. If you want to make your Arduino projects permanent, then it is a good idea to use solo microcontrollers rather than Arduino boards in the final setup. While Arduino boards are great for prototyping, buying an Arduino…

P vs. NP and what is a Turing Machine (TM)?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

P or NP This article deals with the complexity of calculations and in particular the meaning of ##P\stackrel{?}{\neq}NP## Before we explain what P and NP actually are, we have to solve a far bigger problem: What is a calculation? And how do we measure its complexity? Many people might answer, that a calculation is an…
