> Fun fact: Unlicensed stations began streaming jungle music from onboard ships off the coast of Britain, hence the expression "pirate radios."

Didn't pirate radio broadcast from boats predate Jungle by about 20 years?


It's weird things like using "streaming" instead of "broadcasting", let alone the fact by the time Jungle was invented pirate radio was no longer happening on the seas but had moved to having the "studio" in one high rise block of flats with a point to point link to the actual broadcast site on another, coupled with the general structure and other fantasies makes me question how much of this was LLM generated. I couldn't continue reading after a while.

Hi there. Author here. Thanks for the heads up. I would never even consider using LLMs for this, this is just a subject that was always interesting to me so I thought it would be a good idea to write some of it down. Some of these mentions look like shortcomings of English not being my first language; I'll try to review it and change the words or terms that you suggested.

From the mid 60s

Two thoughts.

Suppose I deem it safe and useful for my 6yo to drive for a while, using his Xbox controller from the passenger seat.

It is illegal in many countries for a device (or anything else) to obscure any part of the driver's forward view (area swept by wipers). So even without actually controlling the car, we have an unlawful vehicle.


I'd be even more gleeful if I was in car insurance. "Openpilot's not covered, your insurance is invalidated."


Most likely not legal to invalidate in EU. There is laws that’s say that ev everything you can do manually, you are allowed to automate. Any rules against that is null and void.

The “horse winning race” case is a known one where they go into this.


Geico will cover you. You can disclose ahead of time that you have an aftermarket ADAS if you want. If it drives you off the road, it will be as if you drove off the road and you will be declared at-fault, of course.


Insurance is a non-issue with openpilot.


Has that been tested in court? In my jurisdiction?


Many OP users have asked insurance about it and gotten the a-okay. Believe it or not insurance likes safety devices.


Neat, love it.

Now try synchronising the music to the game.

You could use our Bungee library for the audio processing.


Bungee is our audio stretching library. It can change music tempo and pitch effortlessly in real time on all common devices and browsers.

Bungee is unique in its quality, performance and controllability. Every media player, DAW, video editor should use something like Bungee for smooth scrubbing and audio slomo.

So far we have several licensees of the Pro edition with more on the way.


The biggest challenge here isn't the tech/standards problem.

It's what this signals for the future of the planet's climate.


Indeed. Just reduce the number of flights already. That should give room in your 4-digit space.


The correct solution to this optimization problem is to write the integers raw, not as ASCII.


Absolutely you can. With WebAsm SIMD you have near-native DSP performance. Downsides from my experience [1]:

- You are at the mercy of the browser. If browser engineers mess up the audio thread or garbage collection, even the most resilient web audio app breaks. It happens.

- Security mitigations prevent or restrict use of some useful APIs. For example, SharedArrayBuffer and high resolution clocks.

Intel, AMD and others also have chips for training that perform close to or sometimes better than Nvidia's. These are already in the market. Two problems: the CUDA moat, and, "noone gets fired for buying green".


Rent one?


Have you rented a car recently? I'd rather drive my own car for 3 hours. Then I'll also have an easier time securely bringing a whole bunch of stuff, which I sometimes do also.
