It actually got an award for being so terrible 2 years ago... but it still only came in at 3rd worst place, so I guess that's why they've dropped in this crap - all extra 478MB of "festive effects", that is... D:

Surely that must be hackers posing as Slashdot editors?

That's probably because they couldn't even be bothered to post this on a real webpage, but only on Xitter: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FFFmpeg%2Fstatus%2F18...

Yeah, going from a 67 times speedup with AVX2 to 94 times with AVX512 isn't that revolutionary, especially when you keep in mind that AVX2 is 256 bits wide and AVX512 - you guessed it - 512 bit...

Probably to act as emergency parachute, or to test it's performance as a heat shield...

What could possibly go wrong?

I guess noyb haven't gotten round to suing PayPal over it yet... :(

There's (allegedly) more where those came from...

I mean, it was quite a big component for it's time with it's 29000 transistors, but...

How about just having only threads from the same process share a core, with a way for processes to opt out of that?

If I'm crunching numbers locally or playing a game having threads share a core shouldn't be a problem (I mean, why would the process even try shenanigans to spy on itself?), and if it's a browser running code from who knows where give it a way to flag itself and then keep all it's threads on separate cores, without running a second thread on the same core...

Well, there's

in the summary...

Well, that's exactly what's in the video I linked to - just with a few tiny alterations...

You mean like Roombo?

Just don't forget to add some confusing rules for Moonlight Saving Time that apply several times a lunar year at pseudo-random intervals...

That's known as the "Deppen Leer Zeichen"...
