qoi VS Ada_Drivers_Library

Her request is politely-phrased and reasonable. I don't think there's a legal or ethical issue, but respecting the wishes of others when it costs nothing is just kindness.

However, the way that some have seized on it, and then interacted with others in their communities is ... neither polite nor reasonable.

e.g. https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/issues/35

How do you know it's not a problem for the people who work with computer vision? Let's take this for example - sure, the request itself was presented very unprofessionally, but this is still an example of someone in a computer vision-adjacent field stating in no uncertain terms that they have a problem with the image.

Yes. Without a supporting statement, it's ad hominem. But I provided a supporting statement.

This is the issue I'm taking about: https://mobile.twitter.com/richgel999/status/146443578680850...

Where everyone agrees, yes, the image should be removed. They didn't know about its history. Would he please stop being a gigantic asshole about it.

So if that's not blowing things out of proportion, I don't know what is.

I don't know about CUDA, however I've made an AVX2 based encoder a few months ago : https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi/pull/143

I intend to create an AVX2 based decoder but I had absolutely no time to work on side projects in the past three months.

You might also want to take a look at this streaming encoder if you want to encode large files with a tiny memory footprint : https://github.com/MKCG/php-qoi/blob/main/src/FFI/lib/qoi.c

Not only does compression improve this situation today, but using QOI means improvements may continue to come over time. QOI is a very new, open source image format, and that's already proving to be an advantage. By itself, QOI compression is pretty weak, but YoYoGames have forked it and worked in BZ2 compression to surpass the old PNG format. As QOI itself improves and as YoYoGames continues to work on it, it's almost guaranteed that we'll see the compression ratio in GameMaker get better over time.

Hi, I'm trying to compile any example from the project Ada_Drivers_Library, but it seems that I can't get the toolchain correctly installed:

Trying to fix a problem with the accelerometer, actually with TWI (a.k.a. I2C) on BBC Micro:bit (v1): PR raised.

Tried to work out why TWI (Nordic’s I2C) doesn’t work on BBC micro:bit (v1.3b, anyway). Failed, so far.

Spent days to make MAG3110 work on Micro:bit, but then Fabien told me that it has been fixed in April. It appears that my local clone of Ada Drivers Library wasn't updated! :(

Got I2C & SPI drivers for the LPS25H barometric sensor accepted in the Ada Drivers Library.

You could take a look into the Ada_Drivers_Library. It provides BSPs and examples for different boards, so that's an easy way to get started. For the start you could get any of the boards supported there, depending on the hardware features you want to have.
