UndercoverUlrikHD,

mpv is more effective. Worse user interface though

UndercoverUlrikHD,

If a game is on GOG, I’d rather buy it there than on steam. Steam is great and they do a lot of great stuff, but you don’t own the game if you buy it through steam.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

What’s up with Norway? I’ve yet to encounter anyone else using Linux up here, outside of engineering students testing it out.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

The world went crazy after 2016. The mayans were only off by 4 years.

Comparing compression in AV1, x264, and x265 (kbin.social)

I recently got it into my head to compare the various popular video codecs in an effort to better understand how av1 works and looks compared to x264 and x265. I also had ideas of using a intel video card to compress a home video security setup, and what levels of compression I would need to get good results....

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Feels like certain information is missing. You get very different results both in encoding time and file size depending what preset you use.

CRF value also can’t be translated 1:1 between codecs so comparing e.g. h265 CRF 21 to h264 CRF 21 doesn’t mean much.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Frankly, for anything other than real-time encoding, I don’t actually consider encoding time to be a huge deal. None of my encodes were slower than 3fps on my 5800x3d, which is plenty for running on my media server as overnight job. For real-time encoding, I would just grab a Intel Arc card, and redo the whole thing since the bitrates will be different anyways.

Encoding speed heavily depends on your preset. Veryslow will give you better compression than medium or fast, but at a heavy expense of encoding speed. You’re not gonna re-encode a movie overnight on slow preset. GPU encoding will also give you worse result than CPU encode so that’s something one would have to take into consideration. It’s not a big deal when you’re streaming, but if it’s for video files, I’d much prefer using the CPU.

I consider the ‘good enough’ level to be, if I didn’t pixel peep, I couldn’t tell the difference. The visually lossless levels were the first crf levels where I couldn’t tell a quality difference even when pixel peeping with imgsli. I also included VAMF results, which say that the quality loss levels are all the same at a pixel level.

I was mostly talking about how you organised your table by using CRF values as the rows. It implies that one should compare the results in each row, however that wouldn’t be a comparison that makes much sense. E.g. looking at row “24” one might think that av1 is less effective than h264/5 due to greater file size, but the video quality is vastly different. A more “informative” way to present the data might have been to organise each row by their vmaf score.

Hopefully I don’t come across as too cross or argumentative, just want to give some feedback on how to present the data in clearer way for people who aren’t familiar with how encoding works.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

16 is pretty normal in both the US and Europe

UndercoverUlrikHD,

05:15-06:45 while I’m at the gym, quickly followed up by the worst part of the day, shower and breakfast.

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Is your height 194 by chance?

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Airships are so strange. It’s old technology, yet it looks so futuristic and fantastical.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Thank you for sharing that fact with the rest of us 👍

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Researchers have shown that the performance of the public GPT models have decreased, likely due to OpenAI trying to optimise energy efficiency and adding filters to what they can say.

I don’t really care about why it, so I won’t speculate, but let’s not pretend the publicly available models aren’t purposefully getting restricted either.

There was an old reddit thread were one woman argued that women arent attracted to “gym rats” and used Henry Cavill as an example of a man with a physique who doesn’t spend hours in the gym everyday.

People who doesn’t do resistance training have a negative amount of knowledge of what it takes to get in “shape”.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

A good workout is so satisfying though, and you’ll be even more hungry afterward, so you can eat even more cheese if you’d like.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

I’ve seen similar issues in appdata on windows when a program is poorly configured and simply grow its logs to ridiculous sizes. It’s an issue with a program utilising that folder, not the os.

Could be a the Last of Us (the game) scenario where plague is airborne locally where the air is stale.

UndercoverUlrikHD, (edited )

It’s not airborne. It’s was spread through ingesting infested flour or something like that.

UndercoverUlrikHD, (edited )

Didn’t enjoy the show?

The thing about how it spreads is “revealed” during episode 1 though. But you got to pay close attention to the details.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Genuine question here, which words are slurs? Crazy narcissist?

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Humans got an internal clock. My uncle who is a farmer has never used an alarm to wake him up. I personally stopped using an alarm years ago after high school, I just wake up ~5am and do my thing. The key is to just be consistent and your body will adapt.

UndercoverUlrikHD,

How else am I supposed to signal to the night owls that it’s time to hit the bed before they got to wake up in 2 hours?

UndercoverUlrikHD, (edited )

Here you go, proof at ~2 min in.

Edit: for those who don’t want to use YouTube anymore. If a is the long side and b is the short side of a rectangle. Halving the rectangle will make the long side b and the short side 1/2 a. If the ratio is preserved when halving, we get:

a/b=b/(1/2 a)

a^2=2b^2

a^2/b^2=2

a/b=sqrt(2)

UndercoverUlrikHD,

Other than the fonts, the left side honestly pretty accurate. uBlock Origin for life though.

People being mad at youtube for trying to force people to pay for the insanely expensive service they are providing was/is strange to me, on a similar note.

For FOSS, it’s sort of given in the name though. If it’s not free, it wouldn’t be FOSS, and companies like Google and Facebook have permanently destroyed most people trust in ads not also being paired with data harvesting. Other than offering paid tech support, it’s difficult to find a non intrusive way to get money.

People want prefer a tiny icon in the description where the author(s) ask for donations, but don’t they dare pop up donations to ask for donations though!

I think you still need to enable JXL in the config, but it seems to display just fine once enabled.

Adding support for JXL in windows was much more of a hassle and doesn’t always display properly in the file preview. Hopefully windows follows Apple’s step soon and adds native support.

I guess as a Web developer it won’t matter until the JXL toggle is enabled by default though.
