We keep talking about these AMAZING camera improvements for our phones, but phone audio is still WILDLY inconsistent. Audio MAKES your video.
https://somegadgetguy.com/2024/03/07/phone-cameras-rock-but-we-need-better-audio/

We've only seen a handful of phones handle audio well. We don't need a lot to fix this situation on premium camera focused devices, but companies need to take these features as seriously as they do camera sensors.

I wonder how can get away with lies regarding its latest benchmark.

Fake news in tech are actually a threat?

Tech entertainers like only make things worse by promoting these fake news without validation.
Then he is quoted in a later Mojo blog post spreading bullshit about and ignoring . But debunking posts like this are ignored:

OnePlus Open Camera Conclusion is now LIVE!

https://youtu.be/GONbsecTbW4

Easily the best cameras currently available on a folding phone in North America. Killer hardware and solid processing from the Hassleblad collaboration. A few sticky bits I hope can be addressed in future updates, but it's genuinely a GREAT set of cameras on ANY phone, but the best on a foldable.

I WONDER if this is a sneak peek at what's in store for us on the OnePlus 12?

BUT! How does the iQOO 12 (and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) handle real world tasks? Video rendering, podcast editing, file compression, and photo processing!
Plus, I'm trying out a new gaming test... We'll see how THAT works this year...

After updates and patches, the Find X6 Pro is a beautifully polished mobile content creation solution.
What's interesting, we're starting to get a look at next year's phones.
A major focus for phones next year is AI, and camera sensors are likely going to shrink on many premium priced options.
More so than in the last couple years, shopping a year old "ultra" phone is going to be an even more competitive choice against a current year "pro" phone.
Let's take a look!

"Great language" is merely a subjective statement. #R has long dropped outside the top 20 of the most used languages in the world and the trend only points downwards. It is in the bottom half of 's admiration ranking and scores less than 4% in the desirable ranking. In contrast, recent languages like , , , etc yield pretty much the opposite dynamics at the moment.

This is a little update, but it's a HUGE deal. Google Photos got WAY faster at trimming little video clips!
https://youtube.com/shorts/4sk6YuI6b6s?feature=share

This was a HUGE problem for years. You buy an EXPENSIVE Android phone, and try to do something BASIC, like trim the beginning and end of a video clip. Google Photos would often take longer to process that video, than the video took to play in real time (and an iPhone would finish the same task almost twice as fast).

A recent update to Photos has improved that processing time... By a LOT...

It has been eventful couple of weeks. First Mojo was finally released which runs Python much faster. Then Bun 1.0 was released which runs JS/TS much faster. This is great news since AI/ML will now require fewer compute resources and so many systems run JS/TS and will benefit from the speed boost once Bun is adopted.

It will take a while for these releases to be validated and used broadly, but both are ready for us to use today with our own scripts.

At first, I was a bit skeptical of the new Modular's language.

Having no binaries available (only a playground), and a long history of contenders such as or Pyston that never achieved full compatibility... was a huge turnoff.

The amount of Python compilers that never reach 100% compatibility is almost hilarious.

Having seen the tremendous amount of effort behind , and how little is its community compared to Python's... adds on top of that.

Mojo🔥: It’s finally here!

「 Mojo is a new programming language for AI developers that will grow into being a superset of Python over time. It already supports integrating with arbitrary Python code seamlessly and has a scalable programming model to target performance-critical systems, including accelerators (e.g. GPUs) that are pervasive in AI 」

@jbzfn

I am truly looking forward to ; it sounds like it will make a lot of things a whole lot easier. Keeping access to the huge Python ecosystem is amazing.

But as long as you need to before you can look at the , and there is no published for it, it's not "here" in any meaningful sense of the word.

Well this video kinda died the day I published it, but it seems YT turned off the homepage suggestions for a whole region of viewers, and now it's picking up more watch time. https://somegadgetguy.com/2023/08/09/blank-youtube-homepage-dont-change-your-watch-history-until-you-see-this-first/

Interestingly, the biggest change in growth has come from direct and external sources. Search still makes up the biggest slice of my views, but the biggest change is pointing people DIRECTLY to my content.

As a percentage, more people aren't FINDING my vids on YT.

It makes me feel like I should test that. Push other sources and social media harder to find people OFF YT to watch my stuff.

Kinda reinforces my feeling that YT is no longer a good discovery engine. It feels like they're gatekeeping, getting in between creator and audience.

@anselmschueler

compatibility is very important for me! I am not going to learn a new language that would get no support or just not be used for the next 5 years. One of the reasons why I still haven't touched . But its backward compatibility makes it a good bet.

If can't work with my Python code, I won't touch it until it isn't in the top 50 on .

That being said, it is still very early access, but I am excited after hearing more about who and what is behind it.
