  • 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.














  • Yeah that’s mostly bullshit.

    Your arm flies when you stick it out a window, and it isn’t shaped like shit, so does a piece of paper.

    It’s basically like a sail, but horizontally instead of vertically, the onrushing air hits the bottom at an angle, is deflected down, and bumps the wing up.

    The rest is just to try to reduce drag on the top (super-critical wings attempting to maximize laminar flow, or at least make the disconnection as far back as possible so turbulence creates the least drag on the wing.
