At Streaming Media NYC 2024, Tim Siglin interviewed me (Jan Ozer) about how the Streaming Learning Center has expanded into a platform offering courses on streaming-related topics to help technical people in the industry become familiar with terms, technologies, best practices, and tools. He also talks about machine learning, the shift towards Neural Programming Units (NPUs), and the legal and financial implications of choosing a codec due to potential patent infringements.

You can read a summary of the discussion at Streaming Media here. Much gratitude to Tim and Streaming Media for taking the time during the busy show to record and publish this.
