For decoding, yes, dav1d. But for encoding, a lot more SIMD kernels in libaom/SVT-AV1 written by other people. (And lots of kernel shared between decoding and encoding, of course)

The third for me is that LLM usage has exploded for the development of core Julia itself (just look at the PRs).

Yes, but for speed which means a lot of SIMD plumbing, the larger workforce certainly benefited AV1 codecs!

Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't understand something in these graphs. Since it's x=speed and y=bd-r, is this test done at a fixed target quality/size?

by a-french-anon 22d ago
What do you think about the fact that most perceptual quality improvements in SVT-AV1 have been almost only driven by external, non-paid enthusiasts such as yourself while the maintainers have been basically only targeting VoD and RTC? Comp

Wait... SVT-AV1 doesn't support anything else than 4:2:0, right? Kinda biases the comparison here.

Bubblewrap is a CLI interface for these, you know? It's been some time since bwrap recommended avoiding their SUID wrapper.

Same except for Steam. Hope this money revitalizes bubblewrap's development, it'd be nice to get proper signal handling cleanup up then merged (even util-linux's unshare has it, these days).

I wasn't when I saw they made the exact same stupid error as Python: if and switch are statements, so that you need a stupid ternary operator to do the same.

You seem to be ignoring that most people who want off the infernal npm/cargo hamster wheel are conscious that it implies a bit of spoilt milk or moldy bread in exchange for stability and that they're fine with it. The gains are

Please, for your own sake and that of your ideals, don't fall into a Disney adult mentality of "these are bad guys who are clearly against Truth and Good^tm!" just because righteousness feels good. This falls under underestim

I find it very easy to solve some of these physics questions by thinking about a degenerate version of it instead, with exaggerated parameters (since these physics phenomenons are described by continuous/monotonic functions). So for th

CL-PPCRE actually doesn't really do what most people think it does, cf https://applied-langua.ge/posts/omrn-compiler.html#orgd52b4a... (which instead does). A small tidbit: you don't actually need full syntac

(Reasonable) Good faith at the individual level is a good thing, but when trying to scale it and build a working socialist system out of it, you're 100% set for failure.

The idea that "hard work, discipline, frugality" are Calvinist and Protestant inventions may be the most preposterous thing I've read today. As if the rest of the world or previous eras valued self-indulgence and wasteful lav

Of course nobody sane wants something like this to happen. The problem isn't the people unable to make ends meets, it's the unwilling.

I'm 500 km away in Hérault and this morning was a tad hazy with smoke from there! Impressive I'd say.

I think it's appropriate to link to my blog post about building such a NAS but with very different technologies: dm-integrity, mdadm and XFS. The reason being that as a C/C++ dev following OpenZFS development closely, I found the
