AI-powered music recommendations are reshaping how we discover music.
Streaming platforms learn from listening history, skips, saves and broader taste patterns to predict what you may want next. That makes discovery more personal — but also gives algorithms influence over attention.#AI #Technology #Music #Spotify #Streaming #Algorithms #Media #Digital #Innovation #Data #Future

All Cops Are Bastard (tous les flics sont des salauds)
Ce slogan est chanté dans toutes les manifestations de gauche et permet de critique la #Police dans sa structure et non en ciblant les personnes.
On nous reproche d'essentialiser les forces de l'ordre car certain.es policier.ères sont intègres.
Admettons que ça soit vrai ! Que pensent les X% de flics intègres de cette vidéo ? Qu'attendez-vous pour vous indigner ? Qu'attendez-vous pour démissionner ?

The currently-complete tests are all 1080P. I'm comparing various H.264, H.265, and AV1 compression options with FFMPEG 9.0.2. Generally, I'm searching for the CRF (~quality) value that gives me a VMAF score of 95, and then tracking how much CPU time (and bitrate) is needed, then iterating over a ton of flags and videos.
Basically, I'm looking for the best compression options for each video to get a consistently good-to-great quality encoding with minimal visual artifacts.
The big surprise so far is the compression difference between the same videos using a ProRes original vs a H.265 (Main10 4:2:2) original.
I have two test videos for this, from two different cameras (Panasonic S1 II and Blackmagic Pyxis 12k), both shot in raw. I then exported the exact same 30s clip as 4K ProRes and as 4K H.265 (Main10 4:2:2) files. The two files for each clip are visually ~identical, but there's a 20-40x difference in file size.
Then I did 3 different compression runs:
1. Source=ProRes, scored vs ProRes.
2. Source=H.265, scored vs H.265.
3. Source=H.265, scored vs ProRes.VMAF is designed to catch compression artifacts by comparing the output video the uncompressed original, which makes case #3 kind of interesting. I'm doing this because I'm currently exporting most of my "final" videos out of Resolve as H.265, because I don't want to lug around *enormous* ProRes files. But I don't know what this is actually costing me, and this gives me a concrete measurement.
So far, using 1080P (downscaled from 4K originals, which *should* minimize H.265 artifacts quite a bit), I end up needing around a *30%* higher bitrate for H.265 sources to match the ProRes originals.
To put this in concrete terms, for one sample video, my best AV1 output sizes for VMAF=95 were:
- ProRes/ProRes: 3.48M
- H.265/H.264: 3.30M
- H.265/ProRes: 4.68M (+34%)Encoding into H.265 and H.264 gave similar ratios. I kind of expected H.265 to gain some sort of advantage here, but it didn't.
As a follow-up, I'll probably be investigating additional output options for Resolve -- surely there's *something* usable between the huge ProRes files and the much smaller H.265s.

The BBC are "very compliant to Israel" about Gaza & won't allow the word "genocide".
In Francesca Albanese's report on western media's pro-Israel reporting, the BBC was the worst, camouflaging Israeli responsibility in 83% of headlines.
"BBC presenters dismissed assertions that Israel was committing genocide while not reporting Israeli leaders’ genocidal statements”.

Report: Mass UK protests are planned for Oct 31 against the ban on Palestine Action.
Outside the US embassy in London & the consulate in Edinburgh, protestors will be asking if Trump pressured the UK to outlaw the group.
Days later, the UK Supreme Court will hear an appeal by Palestine Action's Huda Ammori against the ban.
More than 3,850 have been arrested since the ban.

As AI companies are investing in hardware like crazy, the price seems to be kept artificially low. So once you're completely hooked and have fired most of your developers, who do you think gets to pay for all this? And you will pay, because everyone will be scared shitless of falling behind. All because this is moving way way too fast.
Its like we're being manipulated into a bizarre arms race. All while raping the planet. We're idiots.
