I don’t have any specific inside knowledge about Amazon, but I would hazard a guess that the first approach also provides better training material for the LLM.
Can anyone recommend documentaries about pre-Triassic life? I’ve seen the “Ancient Earth” short-form series, and keep up with PBS’s “Eons” on YouTube, but I still feel like this is a facet of earth’s history that is rarely discussed in science media.
Yep - same story here with Nuke (the old one, but then it happened again on the new one too). Got to global and it was a ghost town save for the same 5 man we ran into every night.
there isn’t an easy answer, as it’s always going to be dependent on the source you’re encoding from. That said, in my experience anything higher than CRF 25 on AV1 is noticeably compressed, even to a layman. I mostly work in 1080 and occasionally 2160, though.
i can’t remember the last project i worked on in native 720 (probably circa 2009?) and even now 720 is only part of my output pipeline if specifically requested by the client.
while the lectures in they were encoding would definitely look fine with these settings, I have to question your baseline for quality if you’re watching full Hollywood movies encoded at CRF 30.
With respect, they said pollution is the icky part. I’m not aware of any major industries that are responsible for an appreciable amount of CO2 emissions and no other pollutants/icky stuff, but I’d love to be proven wrong about that.
i’m sorry, i just don’t understand what you’re trying to say. you’re happy that the leading AI firm is full of shit despite promises to the opposite? what makes you happy about that?
If most/all of the major players used the same consulting firm, wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest that borders on - perhaps even is outright - breaking the law?
personally, i’d love this, as long as i know everything is staying local and not being sold/shared for a profit.
i regularly find myself thinking things like “what movie was i talking about with that guy in the gym?” or “what did i tell my wife we needed to get at the drug store?”
while i have gotten into a habit of keeping a long running note in my phone, there are still lots of blind spots in my memory that leave these fragmented mini-mysteries. having a machine that i could ask “what was that song playing in the supermarket i wanted to download?” and get a useful answer would be a huge boon in my life, if only to quiet the anxiety of leaving these threads hanging in my mind.
I find this varies from person to person. I have nothing to back this up, but I have a hunch it is a genetic thing, like how cilantro tastes like soap to some but not to others.
I can identify the taste of Coke Zero (or anything with artificial sweeteners) vs coke 100% of the time. They barely even taste similar to me. My wife can’t taste a difference at all.
