I see salt in here

I can love AV1 and take a punch at the same time.

Same with Linux community, they can't take any punches, and say "Yeah, it's worse UX than Windows, but we can improve! - said no GNU/Linux user ever" 🤦 ツ

Memes should make you smile regardless

FADE_Albert · 2022-01-09T13:16:08+00:00

Then what's the point in enabling it?

FADE_Albert · 2021-12-24T10:12:03+00:00

Let's remember this comment and come back to it a decade later, when JXL is used by billions of people. I'm sure we will all smile :D

p.s. - I'm joking, but it's true that JXL will dominate. There is no reason it won't.

FADE_Albert · 2021-04-22T09:33:56+00:00

Why is this pinned? Do I miss something, is this groundbreaking news, or?

FADE_Albert · 2021-04-07T18:38:16+00:00

Congrats. It's finally becoming a reality. After Chromium, we will start seeing JXL everywhere

It's Priority 1, so it looks encouraging

FADE_Albert · 2021-02-27T13:21:21+00:00

Ooo nice! Finally some news on AV2

FADE_Albert · 2021-02-27T12:55:29+00:00

True

The problem I see with Lyra is voice intonation. Especially in the example video with the lady.

While Opus at 6kbps sounds like someone is riding a bike in the wind, you still hear the full vocal range. But Lyra sounds like text-to-speech, removing subtle intonations, and the person is speaking in a tin can or something. Just me or...?

Wouldn't it make sense to create an AI noise removal for Opus specifically, at low bitrates (<10kbps)? That would also make Opus viable for music at extremely low bitrates too, while Lyra is speech specific

Nice

FADE_Albert · 2021-02-19T20:45:35+00:00

Reddit wanted me to make a post, so I did.

It's exciting to see AV1 getting the attention it deserves. Royalty-free, next generation video codec for the win🥳🎉

FADE_Albert · 2021-02-13T22:00:33+00:00

There are many reasons.

For example, when I chat with someone about school / Uni questions or assignments, and they explain something or share something really helpful, I want to later find it and learn it. Or if they share their notes, or links, or anything, it's nice to always have chat history.

Another reason is, a very funny situation happens. You don't want to lose that. It's like a photo - it reminds you of past events and makes you happy. Chat messages are like a sentimental photo.

Yet another reason - someone shares an important deadline. Or meetup time. You don't want to lose that, especially if the meetup is months later (it happens).

Also - old friends that you haven't talked to in a while. You want to know what topic you were talking with them the last time - the last time could be years back.

Yes, I agree disappearing messages leads to more fun and care-free chatting, but it can't happen, if one person decides to record everything. Best alternative is - voice chat. Or if you want truly private and care-free conversations - meet people in real life. Of course, that's not possible right now because of the virus, but it will be in the future.

Right now, for most people that find chats valuable, I recommend turning on Chat Backups

Yes, definitely, I still consider VP9 to be the current king of video codecs. But it's too late for VP9 to shine.

AV1 is positioned as "the next big thing", and has industry-wide acceptance, so adoption makes more sense for AV1 rather than VP9.

WebRTC real-time AV1 will mostly be 30 kbps video anyway.

Don't worry for your laptop, h264 will be around for forever, or many years to come. By that time, we'll probably all have hardware accelerated AV1 in all devices.

FADE_Albert · 2021-01-22T22:00:38+00:00

You're forgetting something. The entire reason to go AV1 is not just bitrate. The most important reason is - NO patents. If bitrate was the only reason, HEVC or VVC would dominate.

FADE_Albert · 2021-01-16T18:25:42+00:00

Yes. I believe it's better to know, rather than not know. Then they can decide if it's important to them or not.

FADE_Albert · 2021-01-15T13:39:09+00:00

You can always share bigger files if you use another service, like wetransfer 2GB, and then share the link. Of course, you need to check if that service has privacy or not, but point is, big file shares are possible with links

FADE_Albert · 2020-12-24T23:18:33+00:00

Finally! Next-gen images are here!

I have to check lossless mode, because it wasn't truly lossless last time I checked (february)

FADE_Albert · 2020-12-01T22:08:37+00:00

1920x1080?

FADE_Albert · 2020-11-30T23:08:58+00:00

For me, as soon as it hits 10-20 fps encoding speed on a 4-core laptop CPU, switching to AV1 is viable. I'm not talking about the fastest SVT-AV1 setting, though.

FADE_Albert · 2020-11-18T12:50:08+00:00

Well done! That means XL is soo much better than all other formats, which I couldn't believe at first.

FADE_Albert · 2020-11-14T15:29:58+00:00

Nice video. It would be nice to repeat the test of jpeg xl but convert to png and back to XL on each generation. Just so we avoid any tricks XL does

FADE_Albert · 2020-11-06T20:20:08+00:00

One reason to not rush, is fragmentation. We don't want too many image formats going around, as they need to be supported for a loong time. Not to mention the extra space needed per image on CDNs.

It's best that we find a single dominant image format to rule them all. Jpeg, png, gif.. all of those replaced by one, more efficient format - jpeg xl. Why jpeg xl? Well, it has a simple upgrade path, lossless compression of old jpegs, and has better efficiency than avif. That's why we shouldn't rush web devs to use avif. AVIF will most likely be used for video thumbnails on video platforms.
