Somebody else please test this on their PC and/or let me know if I fucked something up. If true encoding H264 video now officially takes longer to encode and wastes more storage space vs AV1.

This is from the Pedestrian Area 1080p25fps Y4M (~1GB): https://media.xiph.org/video/derf/y4m/
I compressed to ~130MB with x264 slow CRF 10 so very very very tiny hit to OG quality: https://marafile.cc/d/7e15af

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Processor | Select-Object Name, NumberOfCores, NumberOfLogicalProcessors
ffmpeg -v quiet -stats -i crf_10_h264.mkv -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 34 -y crf_34_av1.webm 2>&1 | Select-Object -Last 1 ;Write-Host ""
ffmpeg -i crf_34_av1.webm -i crf_10_h264.mkv -filter_complex libvmaf -f null - 2>&1 | Select-Object -Last 3 ;Write-Host ""

ffmpeg -v quiet -stats -i crf_10_h264.mkv -c:v libx264 -crf 24 -y crf_24_h264.mp4 2>&1 | Select-Object -Last 1 ;Write-Host ""
ffmpeg -i crf_24_h264.mp4 -i crf_10_h264.mkv -filter_complex libvmaf -f null - 2>&1 | Select-Object -Last 3 ;Write-Host ""


This is powershell and please rename the marafile.cc download to crf_10_h264.mkv

last i checked codecs relatively encode at 'same' quality like.
h264 100fps 90mb
h265 27fps 60mb
av1 8fps 40mb

so you did something wrong.
av1 is mostly trash because they keep updating something that should have had everything at release. the reason to encode something is to get a smaller filesize and delete the original.

av1 from 3 years ago isn't the av1 now, why bother with such a shitshow of a codec. with such a powerhungry encoding codec you can't expect people to reencode terabytes of video. it'll be cheaper to get a large hdd and not reencode anything to av1.

If by "wrong" you mean compression defaults? I didn't use any special tune settings, SVT-AV1 will use Preset 8 and x264 will use the medium preset if you don't tell it how fast to encode which is what I did. I only adjusted CRF values (which aren't the same for x264 and AV1) until they hit a VMAF ceiling of ~95. Other than that, did I do something wrong? Did you get more accurate results in bash/python/whatever????

>>108735983
>crf 32

Why so overkill? What metric did you use? Is there something really better than VMAF? I know some anons here keep bringing up SSimulacra2 but how can you trust that when it treats motion heavy parts of the video the same as the still parts of the video?

>and then lets market this product to the exact group of people who think the government is using 5g to spy on them via their microwaves and who believe the metal gear solid series was a documentary
I still don't understand why venture capitalists keep funding this shit, "smart guns" or electronically locked guns. it's a tech product with no market and literally EVERY company that has ever announced doing R&D on a smart gun went bankrupt with the exception of smith and wesson which some guy bought, pushed the smart gun shit and then sold for less than 10% of the price he bought the company for. he wiped out like 90% of the market cap, and Mossberg which somehow surivived unscathed.
idk how the tech would even work because it would need to actively receive power to fire, so like an electromagnet pulling a locking piece that's blocking the trigger or firing pin because otherwise you could just defeat it by not powering it

>it's a tech product with no market
The idea is once they figure out how to make the tech reliable they will pass a law to force everyone to use smart guns. Then everyone will have a gun that can be turned off by the government at any time on demand which is the ultimate goal behind this technology. They will create a market for the gun forcibly through executive fiat when the time comes regardless of market fundamentals.

>idk how the tech would even work because it would need to actively receive power to fire, so like an electromagnet pulling a locking piece that's blocking the trigger or firing pin because otherwise you could just defeat it by not powering it.
That's exactly how it works, but the design can actually be defeated WITH the magnets.

If you get every single update it got via Simplix/Legacy Update and use a web browser like Supermium or r3dfox then it's usable. A lot of things just don't support it anymore though unless you return to the final versions of said things that supported running on 7.

Why is no one talking about this?

A porn company called Fakku is censoring small projects on Github for having code that can download images, and they always deny it while refusing to retract the copyright takedown request.

The only reason you don't see him trying to take down Firefox and Chromium is because they're far bigger players than him and against free speech too.

So please link me the firmware your devices are using. Because the only libre atheros firmware is open-ath9k-htc-firmware which only work on the AR9271 and AR7010 USB chips. They don't work on any other atheros chip like the one that's in your laptop (most probably the AR9382) or in your router (AR7161). They both use firmware built-in the hardware.

First of all, all this information is easily verifiable. Second of all people like Leah Rowe (developer of libreboot and canoeboot) and Daniel Micay (developer of GrapheneOS) say the exact same thing. Believing built-in known insecure proprietary software is better than updated proprietary software with known vulnerabilities fixed is just pure delusion. Pretending its not there is the freetards way of coping.

yes, it is good for OS developer to have sources open and easily compilable. why do you need them open?

GNUnix always projected as a server OS, it is intended to run like a blackbox providing services. it has worse modularity than windows's "DLL hell" and as a result everything must be re-compiled for certain distro.

one example its worse for development:

recently i made a memory allocator that is group based, so on windows i used an undocumented "NtQuerySystemInformation" function to get memory page size that is used in offsets calculations. when i switched to Linux implementation i found that there is no sane way to get memory page size but to read some file at the /proc path, that is 3 syscalls (no libc) compared to 1, i cannot afford it now, i simply put a temporary stub, like

#define MEM_PAGE_SIZE 4096

so it could be changed manually. that shows Linux as less "dynamic" OS if you like
