Today, with the release of Vulkan 1.3.302, Khronos is proud to announce two new Vulkan Video encode extensions. First, the Encode AV1 extension adds AV1 encode functionality to complement its existing AV1 decode support. Additionally, the new Encode Quantization Map extension introduces advanced encoding features for all supported codecs to Vulkan Video developers for the first time.

A question for any #digital #video experts out there... I'm confused as heck about the results from #libx265 (used via #ffmpeg, not the #x265 tool) regarding quality vs. preset and ratefactor.
I'm far from the first person to be confused by this, but I haven't found any real answers.
First I'll just show some analysis from some test encodes of a file; ssim and ratefactor numbers are coming from the CSV stats output of libx265.

Revolutionary #Genetics Research Shows #RNA May Rule Our #Genome
Scientists discovered thousands of active RNA molecules control #human body: #ENCODE team reported that at least 75% of genome gets transcribed into RNAs. Some #biologists greeted announcement with skepticism bordering on outrage. ENCODE team was accused of hyping its findings; some critics argued that most of this RNA was made accidentally because enzymes are ndiscriminate about which bits of DNA it reads.

Encoding is the process of compressing raw video signal from a camera or camcorder into a digital format.
Transcoding is the process of taking already digital video and converting it to a different format to make it more accessible to different audiences and platforms.
#AI systems can and will only do what we tell them to do, without question or hesitation, unless those are explicitly embedded in their #code.
What, beyond "make the other m..........r die for their country", do you really believe any #military will #encode?
The tale of #TheMonkeysPaw is a perfect example of the unintended consequences of these systems.

It's possible that the Chinese will try something like this, but not in the foresseable future. Let's take it from the #InformationTheory angle...
(I'm having too much fun with these #scifi scenarios! Sorry for my long-winded posts, and thank you for making me think hard. 
)
Assume there's a way to #encode a brain's information into #bytes, a way to encode these bytes into #DNA, and both functions have inverses (with some acceptable loss of data). How big should be such a DNA?
How to URL encode (percent encode) a string in Vala (GLib):
Uri.escape_string ("Hello, world!");
// Hello%2C%20world%21
To decode:
Uri.unescape_string ("Hello%2C%20world%21");
// Hello, World!
(Documenting it as it was not easy to find with a cursory web search.)
