Except for their immune systems or lactose tolerance.


65% of humans have lactose intolerance, so depending on where exactly you teleport them to it might be a completely normal thing. I'd imagine the immune system will have the capacity to develop in the same way too, so really it should work out fine.


As an immunologist, I see no reason why the newborn from tens of thousands of years ago wouldn't be perfectly suited for the modern world.


Lactose tolerance in Europeans likely arose with early PIE groups as they began domesticating horses and oxen. Perhaps several time independently in different groups.

Lactose tolerance in populations is linked with pastoralism, and if I am remembering correctly colder climates as well.

Most humans today are not lactose tolerant as adults - it’s actually the exception.


Remittances for 2023 made up 23% of state GDP.

> You can’t solve the problem of understanding norms by writing copy

You can mitigate the problem by adding a short summation before or in between something they're likely to read.


Not quite frosted, but I went for a glass pane effect on the sidebar at https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/


Your site is very relaxing and pretty on pc.


For real, I'm not a fan of flashy colors in websites and that palette looks very calming


> There's a feature request for the open source & cross-platform x265 codec to support transparency, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

x265 has added support for alpha very recently, but only using their standalone CLI. https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git/commits/c8c9d22...


Ohhhh! I totally missed this. Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if it was triggered by this article, or a weird coincidence.


It's restricted to constant QP rate, and I haven't managed to get it to produce a playable file yet. Maybe I'm holding it wrong. But anyway, it's exciting seeing bits of this land.


This uses the hash muxer in ffmpeg, which consolidates all streams into one. Use the streamhash muxer to emit hashes per-stream, which can isolate any changes to specific streams.


See the --only flag too:

    --only=<ONLY> 
    hash the an input file container's first audio or video stream only, if available.  dano will fall back to default behavior, if no stream is available. [possible values: audio, video]


I noticed that both muxers convert audio to signed 16-bit PCM by default. Is there a way to avoid this behavior without specifying a codec?


No, 16-bit PCM is the default audio codec. If no `-c` is specified for a stream, ffmpeg will encode using the default codec. But if `-c X` is declared where X=`copy` or something else, then that is honored.


My upload for the source pkg only finished 20 mins. ago. The Winget maintainer should update their manifest shortly.


API users shouldn't pay attention to the ffmpeg version but those of the libraries. API and ABI breaks only happen at major version bumps of those.


VVC decoder is available, but it's flagged as experimental, so you have to prefix `-strict experimental` before the VVC input `-i`.


Thanks Yes I meant officially. Was hoping the we could set stage for VVC little earlier. I know VVC is not popular on HN or literally anywhere on Internet but I do hope to see it moving forward instead of something like MPEG-5 EVC which is somewhat dead in the water.


I don't know that having so many codecs is a good thing unless they really add something. How does it compare to av1 (which I was under the impression is coming to be the natural successor of hevc, with hardware support)?


Comparing to AV1, VVC / H.266 is expected to offer 20-30% reduction in Bit-Rate with similar quality at similar level of computational complexity. And it is already deployed and used in real world in China and India. I believe Brazil are looking to use it as their next generation codec for broadcasting along with LCEVC.




VVC is marked as experimental as fuzzing continues on it.
