- jtvjan 7y agoIf it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid.
- ithkuil 7y agoBut it works. If it's clever and it doesn't work, it's surely clever ... but it doesn't work
- emilfihlman 7y agoIt has been known and well understood for many years now that you should use video (like mp4 or webm) in place of gifs if you want to save bandwidth.
- ithkuil 7y agowould encoding your AV1 encoding demo with another encode produce the desired effects?
- kennydude 7y agoI think their blogs are still based off Blogger which hasn't been updated in quite some time. (which they own so they could fix themsleves..)
- usrusr 7y agoThere are only two ways of realistically demonstrating encoding artifacts: decode the actual format client side or transmit a lossless encoding. GIF surely isn't lossless, but its losses are somewhat orthogonal to those of the encodings in question. Still, yet could have done with much less of the same.
