./videos/0.mkv is a 1 minute 37.5 MB dashcam video. Make it as small as possible while preserving semantic content and temporal dynamics. The challenge is still open for submissions! Submit to get on ...

Digital video coding integrates algorithmic techniques and standardised frameworks to reduce the volume of raw pixel data while preserving perceived visual quality. Most contemporary systems employ a ...

"Optimization demands understanding hardware constraints at the silicon level," reflects Shaibujan Thankappan Kamalamma, whose career spans video codec work, streaming systems, and enterprise security ...

I was 6 when my father decided we'd sail around the world. I would be trapped on that boat for nearly a decade. What to do (and not to do) if you find a rattlesnake in your yard We're not cattle.

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

AI has a growing memory problem. Google thinks it's found the answer, and it doesn't require more or better hardware. Originally detailed in an April 2025 paper, TurboQuant is an advanced compression ...

Yes, I understand why the initial compression of a bitmap (not necessarily a .BMP) to a JPEG is lossy, via the quantization step after DCT. But if I decompress a JPEG back to a new bitmap, and then re ...

In today's interview, we chat with Jesse Cox. He's been a YouTube pioneer for well over a decade with his main channel boasting over 1 million subscribers. Since then, he's also expanded into the ...
