Btw, I lived in the south, I wasn't a citizen there either.

If I'd hung around another year I would have been a muslim terrist from the Iraqi Taliban or something.

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.

I know, and I don't doubt that.

But my wife is white (like, blond, blue eyes, Galadriel white), so they won't touch her citizenship.

I guess I was an anchor baby in the end anyway.

edit: Oh, I'm rich too, so I'm golden either way.

Fucking privilege, man.

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.

This is the way.

I mean, f22s surely get lost some times, even my iPhone sometimes loses GPS.

Training mission in Poland, suddenly a dozen mig29ks, tu22m3s and su34s fall out of the sky, maybe they had GPS problems too, no way to tell really.

Actually, it was probably the single ukrainian f16 in the area, great way to earn a double ace quickly, we all saw him shoot those amraam-ds.

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.

The US economy isn't backwards.

The southern economy is.

 

Seems surprisingly similar to the Floyd protests of 2020, in this case the officer has already been arrested and is expected to be charged.

France isn't a place one thinks of when it comes to police shootings, but after the suicide bombings in 2015 I visited for work and was surprised to see heavily armed French police on patrol, and by heavily armed, the looked like soldiers with MP5s and/or assault rifles in full body armor.

 

This is somewhat surprising given the SCOTUS ruling last week. Suspect they would lose if it came back to SCOTUS on some form of 'traditionalist' grounds, but for public and state schools it could definitely mark a sea change.

 

Would like to have the same kind of blunt debate but aimed at compromise and solutions that everybody can live with.

Must've been at least 11 years, thank you for wasting so much of my time! :)
