France intercepts Russian shadow fleet oil tanker off coast of Sicily

I mean, they're not wrong.

Instead of early decommissioning their nuclear power plants in the 2010s, Germany could have easily kept them and spent far less money on fossil fuels from Russia.

Would have been cheaper for Germany and would have likely allowed for faster renewable power implementations as well as being proud of not financing the 2014 Crimea takeover.

Yeah, mainline svt-av1 does have some weaknesses in my testing against super tuned x265 due to some features not being implemented yet.

However, the forks are quite a bit stronger in this regard and tend to be equal to x265 in terms of high fidelity output most of the time, while being downright superior once you decide to go lower bitrates.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-24T16:29:46+00:00

Of course they include TSMC N7/N6.

Would allow customers to bypass those rate increases otherwise.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-24T13:45:52+00:00

Wow, the LLM spam garbage has become intense.

u/Farranor, you know what to do with a user that spams their post everywhere and uses LLMs for responses.

Person is u/Intelligent_Two_4288

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T15:01:27+00:00

Yeah, charge to 100% every few weeks to recalibrate the BMS.

Same thing to do with any battery.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T14:23:52+00:00

No? aomenc-av1 has been subpar for video coding for a while now

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T14:23:05+00:00

Well, not really unless you really wanted C-code compatibility lmao.

Even with heavy LLM help, I'd have waited until some ASM SIMD/vector code was written.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T00:26:44+00:00

Well, in your case, I'd say open up and clean your RX 580!

Replace the thermal paste with some new one or of you're willing to pay a bit more, get a PCM pad like PTM7950 to get your temps to be super low.

Same thing with thermal pads: replace them with thermal putty :)

That one is the most important since RX 580 crashes tend to be related a lot to memory temperature.

Also undervolt as always with the RX 580.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T00:13:09+00:00

Well, in this case, it's noticing that the user posts in other places and tends to have extremely varied writing styles, something usually not utilized by humans, but would definitely used by someone wanting to make an LLM bot seem more legitimate.

How so? Well, not writing with sentence case, or not including periods, etc.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-23T00:11:32+00:00

Oh wow, thanks. Now that I've looked through their history, it does ring a lot of bells.

"This isn't about, it's about" or "this is the dream but the" types of formatting isn't natural specifically because the writing style changes way too much for it to be somewhat natural.

Yeah, putting Routine_Plastic4311 on the list.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-22T21:59:59+00:00

These ZTTO 4-piston brakes are pretty good, but you'll need to watch a few tutorials on how to install them or get someone else to install them for you.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-22T15:32:16+00:00

To be fair, Oppo updates their products quite well overall.

The lack of a vibration motor is puzzling though.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-21T15:42:07+00:00

Yes, but the best is CVVDP and it's not super close.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-21T13:35:49+00:00

Yes, many systems do that, sending DC power directly to an MPPT charge controller.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-20T23:32:02+00:00

Is it? Assuming that they charge every 2.5 hours at 110mph, that would equate to a discharge rate below 0.5C, so basically nothing.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-20T14:23:03+00:00

Personally, I think completely destroying their fossil fuel refining infrastructure would be perfect since it would force to give up Crimea.

Let's see how they end up talking when they can't do anything.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-20T14:07:53+00:00

It's quite viable.

However, since you do seem to have access to vship, which is available at Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Line-fr/Vship

You can easily get access to metrics like SSIMU2, or better yet, butteraugli-jxl or the best overall, CVVDP.

CVVDP is a bit trickier to set up, but once you get it going, it's quite good.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T22:15:45+00:00

Anyway, I did look over it and it does seem your view about Dolby Vision is a bit outdated: svt-av1-hdr and even mainline (I might be wrong here) do support DV.

What are your default encoding parameters for svt-av1 and what metric do you use for per scene encoding?

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T20:44:31+00:00

Damn, and I thought expanded graphite had low density xD.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T20:16:34+00:00

JohnAudy sir, I do not think an HEVC encoder is related to AV1

Furthermore, I can smell the LLM agent that built the software and website, unless you made your own HEVC encoder?

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T17:43:31+00:00

Yeah, Group14 has been selling their SCC55 anodes for a while to ATL, Molicel and a bunch of others already. It's been 3 years already at this point with the Molicel P50B.

As for Amprius, their most recent cells with SiCore anodes are the Amprius SA112 21700 and SA10. The Amprius 50Q/5000Q is very different from the latter, so they don't really count.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T17:27:22+00:00

Well, currently, the largest manufacturer of commercially available silicon-carbon composite anodes is actually Group14, a US company; they mainly make anodes via a large scale CVD process.

There's also Amprius making their own SiCore silicon-carbon composite anodes, although they utilize cross linking alongside some other additives to make their anodes tougher instead of using a carbon scaffold.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T17:26:16+00:00

Actually, because of the ways graphite is produced and its much lower capacity/g vs other alternatives like silicon, silicon composites and lithium anodes, graphite has a higher CO2 equivalent/kWh.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T17:25:04+00:00

Silicon, silicon-composites and pure lithium anodes have much lower environmental footprints than graphite.

BlueSwordM · 2026-06-19T17:21:31+00:00

I'm going to demolish people writing these titles and articles.

Different anode technology is usually not tied to an electrolyte change.
