Google is pushing av1 because of patents, but 266 is just plain better tech, even if it’s harder to encode.

This same shit happened with 265 and vp9, and before that, and before that with vorbis/opus/aac.

They’ll come back because it’s a standard, and has higher quality.

Maybe this is the one time somehow av1 wins out on patents, but I’m encoding av1 and I’m really not impressed, it’s literally just dressed up hevc, maybe a 10% improvement max.

I’ve seen vvc and it’s really flexible, it shifts gears on a dime between high motion and deep detail, which is basically what your brain sees most, while av1 is actually kind of worse than hevc at that to me, it’s sluggish at the shifts, even if it is better overall.

Abortion in the red states, and that was work he did his last term.

Wait till he’s back in office, he’s nothing if not vindictive.

Yeah, using the a750 the same.

Can’t wait for next Gen arc with vvc (x266) support.

Intel has excellent transcode, even in their igpus.

I use an arc750 specifically for transcode, av1 runs at ludicrous speeds, but don’t do an Nvidia, they kind of suck because they dont support vaapi, only nvenc/nvdec and vdpau.

They should have subtitles.

And when the conversation really gets going the subtitles should just break off completely, “I think he said he agrees.”, “Huh?”, “No, I have no idea either.”, " Listen I’ve been half guessing for a while now, I just got this job to help out with bills, this can’t be a real language.", “Oh my god this idiot is still babbling”, and after a while Gambit’s eyes look down a bit, he slows down talking, while the subtitles are still insulting him, and finally cards the off the side of the screen, and you hear a brief scream.

Yeah, the ryzens are great too.

Full amd will treat you well, I’m running dual xeons and a Radeon pro with an arc 770 just for av1 encode right now.

Next round going full epyc.

Amd knocks Nvidia into a hat on Linux, the drivers are just too incredible.

With the exception of AI, where Nvidia is just plain the gold standard.

Intel is fine, it has exceptional video encoding and works.

Core i3 is fine, celeron can route, but you don’t have as much headroom, or room for firewall rules, etc. Recommend Intel x520 or mellanox cx3 or newer, though the cx2 is perfectly fine.

The bs about bsd being slower is maybe 15 years old at best?

Bsd is a monster for routing.

Run 25gbe routing, still can get by on your 4 core, but I throw some serious xeons at it anyway.

Meh, I like my udm.

I use some of the features, but mostly it just works, and it’s debian under the hood so I just ssh in and unfuck whatever needs unfucking.

It’s vastly closer to a hand-built setup than anything else, and you can spend less time worrying about security.

Ollama, llama3.2, deepcode and a bunch of others.

Using a GPU but man they’re picky, they mostly want Nvidia gpus.

Do NOT be afraid to run on the cpu. It’s slow, but for 1 user it’s actually mostly fine.

Open source dev, kernel, llvm, jvm, bunch of other shit.

Never came up with anything as bad as systemd.

Don’t talk shit if you don’t know, been doing software since the internet was dialup.

I’ve worked with both coreaudio and launchd.

They weren’t architected like trash, and actually did their jobs well.

If systemd was just like launchd that would be awesome, it’s not, then it took over half the linux userspace, badly.

No, nobody forces you to use emacs at gunpoint.

No, I’m furious Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed, it enrages me.

Which is why I am gleefully watching the Russian invader filth suffer and die painfully :)

Spoken like someone who believes words mean whatever they want them to mean.

So by a more modern definition of Nazi, Stalin and Beria were Nazis.

Fine, and Putin?

BTW, the secret to not being slow?

Your mom shouldn’t drink while she’s pregnant, at least not a fifth of vodka every day.

Pro-tip.
