There's more and some of these can be false positives. There will probably be hidden ones now and later especially when it's a twitter screenshot with no relevant words used to bypass obvious inpsection.
Good luck void-san, thank you for being someone who does something about a problem instead of just screaming into the abyss like everyone else.
I'll probably get banned but maybe it will reach out to a few anons from the past banned thread that were complaining about wanting a separate /ai/ board like a few days ago.

During a conversation with @webpgoy we cooked up an idea for an image tab in the settings. Right now all the static image options from our image processor sharp are available for testing.
I already noticed setting the effort to 6 increases the processing time by a ridiculous amount so maybe that should be capped to a lower value.
The idea right now is to test what makes sense, right now when you create a new preset it uses the default values so we can even double check if the default values make sense, for example a 800kb jpg is turning into a 1.5mb webp, which seems counterintuitive.
ps: animated webps and gifs are left alone, these settings don't apply to them

Don't you sometimes question reality? Like why does all this exist? Is God real? Who or what made God? Are our lives all that there is? We die and it's gone? Everyone we ever loved will just be gone one day? Nothing makes sense

I took the 73 Mbps 4K NLUUG Tears of Steel encode, scaled it to 720p, and used CRF 10 veryslow x264 to simulate 720p BD.
SSIM cheating was disabled in AV1 with tune 0 and variance boost, 720p was chosen to handicap AV1's 128x128 superblocks.
Even when nearly maxing out x264 compression , preset 4 AV1 = ~30% better compression and encodes ~40% faster as well.
I confidently declare that H.264 is now official boomer trash like flickering CRT displays.ffmpeg -i tearsofsteel_4k.mov ^ -vf "scale=1280:720:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1280:720:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:black" ^ -c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 10 -pix_fmt yuv420p input.mp4base_av1=ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libsvtav1 -crf 28 -preset 4 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -svtav1-params psy_av1=keyint=5s:lookahead=120:tune=0:enable-variance-boost=1:variance-boost-strength=3:variance-octile=4frame=17616 fps= 18 Lsize= 212825KiB bitrate=2375.4kbits/s speed=0.73x elapsed=0:16:45.14base_h264=ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset veryslow -pix_fmt yuv420phttps://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/demo/movies/ToS/tearsofsteel_4k.movframe=17616 fps= 13 Lsize= 304524KiB bitrate=3399.0kbits/s speed=0.535x elapsed=0:22:51.14

I believe that the spirit of Anime Movies can be applied IRL in this End Times, at least one RPG game and 5 anime can represent it. These are EarthBound, Dragon Ball, Made in Abyss, Dr. Stone, Full Metal Panic & Evangelion.

I noticed this place supports AV1, hope it's cool if I crosspost from 4chan's /g/ board. I present you a script that targets SSIM, only 1 input video file per folder though.1 problem: AV1 cheats in SSIM. It intelligently preserves the structure of video but destroys fine detail. However these disable SSIM cheating:@echo off & mkdir temp :loop set /p crf="CRF? (30-50 reccomended): " for %%f in (*.mkv, *.mp4, *.mov) do ( ffmpeg -i "%%f" -c:v libsvtav1 ^ -crf %crf% -preset 4 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le -svtav1-params ^ keyint=2s:lookahead=120:tune=0:enable-variance-boost=1:variance-boost-strength=3:variance-octile=4 ^ -c:a libopus -b:a 64k -y "%%f_CRF-%crf%_AV1.webm" echo: & echo SSIM result: ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i "%%f" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p10le ^ -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -y temp/temp_source_2_10b.mkv ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "%%f_CRF-%crf%_AV1.webm" -i temp/temp_source_2_10b.mkv ^ -lavfi ssim -f null - 2>&1 | findstr "[Parsed_ssim" echo: ) goto looptune=0Prioritizes perceptual/visual qualityenable-variance-boost=1allocates more bits to low-contrast areas (such as skin, clouds, or foggy scenes) that typically suffer from blurring and artifacting in fixed-quantization encoding.variance-boost-strength=3Applies medium strength variance boost, enough to improve quality but not bloat bitrate.variance-octile=4Applies medium strength for the new 8x8 variance algorithm, which is used for adaptive quantization.
All of these not only give you better/accurate SSIM scores but allow AV1 to create subjectively medium to high quality AV1 encodes, not just compete in objective metric pissing contests.

@void I made a little DISTS preview before going to bed
I calibrated DISTS to match -quality 90 4:4:4 JPG, which got me a score of around 0.03
Might be too high on high fidelity, idk. What do you think though, do all these JPG/Webp/JXL images look pretty high quality compared to the in.png one? Because if so jpeg xl not looking too hot, it really struggles with anime it seems. Haven't tested AVIF yet though.

>>902
In my current testing the latest libavif v1.4.2 is outperforming JXL outside of Anime, sometimes it's like 5-10% better at photographic content at 9.5 CVVDP despite using 4:2:0, which IMHO is nuts because JXL was supposed to be state of the art for high fidelity photographic content.
Anyway yeah, even if you risk a security disaster, it's uncertain when AVIF decoding will become tolerable enough at high resolutions. If you do end up adding support for it in 2027 I would highly consider some kind of resolution upload limit for AVIF tbh.
https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107888656/#107892763
Also to be fair to JXL, picrel is from an old 4chan thread. I've heard a lot of work has been done to improve JXL decoding with a rust implementation. Though it's not clear if it's enough to match AVIF decoding performance. I have absolutely no idea how to test this on a phone though.
https://github.com/libjxl/jxl-rs
>>929
What you mentioned here is a big eye opener:
>AVIF might achieve acceptable decoding performance in like 2030 across 99% of devices but JPEG XL might have to wait until like 2040 for that though.
I think it'd be cool to support new tech like this, but we definitely need to wait a while

>>930
It could be sooner depending on how the dav1d improvements stack up but yeah at best 2027 might be the year of 8MP max AVIF images and that's if you ignore the risk of some RCE exploit being undiscovered like it was on webp...
Whatever happens I hope JXL won't go down without a fight. If there's nothing to challenge AVIF I fear it could stagnate and push the widespread global adoption to 2040 or later. As much as I like/trust Webp, it's missing lots of cool stuff that AVIF has. Even worse websites will have no choice but to bend the knee and pay billions to get their hands on Iris-Webp if they want better photographic image compression.

>>701 (OP)
I question things all the time but I find solace in the belief that there are multiple Gods out there and that we're never really alone. The double slit experiment makes me wonder how higher dimensional beings behave when we're not observing them and how what we think is a bleak reality is actually just the result of us being observers instead of doers.
Like maybe the key to reaching a higher level of spiritual connection/peace is to stop being the observer. Like when you're having trouble sleeping you make it worse by worrying about getting some sleep (ie the observation makes you panic) instead of trying to stay awake by counting to 200 (ie doing something that mentally exhausts you to sleep).
Anyway that's my 2 cents.

0.99 SSIM is special because it's correlated with a CRF ~20 x264 encode, both objectively and subjectively rated as very high quality.
When AV1 was initially released it was only good for low to medium quality video encodes and not recommended for personal encodes.
To make things worse, AV1 uses tricks to cheat in SSIM but Tune 0 and variance boost unnoficially disable SSIM cheating.
>>650 (OP)
>I confidently declare that H.264 is now official boomer trash like flickering CRT displays.
When do you think we will see mass adoption? It's like H.264 refuses to die
>>652
I'm betting it's going to be this year. One of the main downsides to AV1 used to be that it took longer to encode vs H.264. Most people probably still think this is true. As for decoding probably like 90% of existing computers/laptops can now decode 1080p AV1 just fine.
Getting the word out to normalfags is going to be an uphill battle though.

Not having to install an browser extension for this is great, thanks man. Haven't had much free time this week but I plan to make another WARi thread tomorrow because I found another Anime show I liked, it's Jahy-sama. Turns out Jahy is voiced by Naomi Εzora who also voices Satania in Gabriel Dropout. The latter didn't really stick with me but I like the voice from Satania. The whole whack job magical girl thing got me hooked.

It's good that you found umigalaxy, I also did, I'm a refugee from 4chan's deteriorating /g/ board. However you should tell us a little bit more about your site so you don't get labeled a spammer.
If I had to pick an Anime that touched upon real life themes, it would be Higurashi (2006 one not Gou). It shows how isolation leads to avoidable tragedies. In the end we all function better when we're part of a community that cares about you. Which for me definitely isn't 4chan lol.
