@gladstein It does indeed.
Batteries also fix it though.
Combining the two is the real winner.

VideoLAN has released a new open-source tool called dav2d.
It is a CPU-based decoder for AV2 video, AV2 is the next open video format after AV1 and promises better compression and higher quality.
dav2d is based on VideoLAN’s popular dav1d decoder for AV1, works on many platforms and focuses on being fast and correct.
The code is now public on VideoLAN’s GitLab site. This is an early project because the full AV2 standard is not finished yet.

@javiermalagon Es simplemente envidia.
Pura envidia.
Son incapaces de darse cuenta, pero envidian al que ha conseguido hacer lo que ellos no pueden o no se atreven.

Having said two days ago that the U.S. wouldn’t renew a general license easing Russian oil sanctions, the @USTreasury did exactly the opposite: renew it.
Vladimir Putin keeps benefiting from the U.S.-Iran war: higher prices and American sanctions waivers. Double win.

@PunterJeff Ok.
But Saylor is actually a liability for Bitcoin adoption.

Digital Credit: “It’s too good to be true, there must be a catch.”
Reality check:
Fiat is “too BAD to be true” and the catch is that dollars have lost 6.7% compounded annually for the last 50 years in a row
You just haven’t been offered an interesting alternative before.

JUST IN: Coffeezilla publishes video taking on Bitcoin believer Michael Saylor & Strategy's $STRC. Coffee says Saylor's STRC preferred-stock pitch is too simple & the risks are not properly explained. "It's been compared to the iPhone. It's been compared to a Ponzi scheme." "You put in your money. They say they're going to yield about 11.5% per year. That's basically double digit returns which is just mind-blowing" "What is the problem with that? Well ultimately... the company has no obligation to pay you back. Why haven't people realized this?" "My entire problem is that they're leading people like a pied piper with this kind of ludicrous idea. Their pitch is of a money market and a bank - When that's just not what this is. This is a snowball of yield."

Driving is the MOST government-dependent form of transportation.
You’re using a state-issued license to operate a state-registered machine on 100% state-owned land, subsidized by taxpayers.
Freedom is not needing a government permission slip & 40k machine to get around.
Rob McNealy@RobMcNealy
@farazamiruddin I have no interest in being dependent on government transportation.

Yes, why would light travel 299792458 times the length of some arbitrary rod in Paris in 1/86400 Earth days?

@Rory_Johnston Thx - i’ll believe large scale EV switching when i see it. Toy for the wealthy is all i have actually seen.

Normally I talk about the two main types of demand destruction:
Price elasticity (i.e., gasoline is really expensive so I'll drive less or buy an EV)
vs
Income elasticity (high oil prompted a financial crisis and I lost my job)
But given how sharp the Hormuz crisis is we also need to add a third [shorter-term?] category of supply chain shortage: this would be primarily manifest as price-driven demand destruction but only at a local level, which could moderate over the medium term as supply chains adjust and pull barrels from other regions to fill the gap, spreading out that price pressure across a broader geography.
First round of Hormuz-driven demand destruction is gonna be bumpier than we'd usually expect.
Javier Blas@JavierBlas
We are probably underestimating the amount of oil demand destruction already ongoing in South-West and South-East Asia.

McFaul: Trump doesn't get it. NATO is a defensive alliance.
NATO didn't fight in Vietnam with us, with the French in Algeria, with the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique, or with the UK in the Falklands.
The only time they fought together was after Sep 11.

El Mundo y el Instituto Juan de Mariana dice que CADA FAMILIA paga 1.657€ más en IRPF y Patrimonio... Patrimonio solo lo pagas si tienes más de 1 millón de €, más de 3 en algunas CCAA
Pero te cuelan CADA FAMILIA y la media entre tú y los ricos porque te toman por imbécil.

If you want to understand how the solar revolution is playing out across the Global South, a pretty good place to start is Agbon, Benin, where I lived for 2 yrs.
It's an exceedingly unexceptional place: the reason solar is taking off there is because it's taking off everywhere🧵

VIDEO COLUMN: Another food crisis?
The experience of 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine, plus the increase in fertiliser prices, have prompted concern about another food price spike.
But the situation in 2026 isn't nearly as concerning. At least, no yet.

Trump can't TACO his way out of this one. US leaving Strait of Hormuz to Iran would give Iran effective control over global oil/gas trade. All the EU countries will drop sanctions on Iran, trade hydrocarbon in RMB & use CIPS if they want to have energy. All while these countries accelerate push toward renewables & EVs.
Resulting situation will be one where Iran gets rich off the transit fees, dominate Persian Gulf region, make great money off oil/gas resources, do all the transaction on BRICS affiliated currency/transaction system, received huge investment from China/India to rebuild its entire economy & infrastructure, recycle earnings into investment in non-US financial mkt & all GCC countries remove investment from US tech sector.
It would be a giant disaster for the entire US economy & complete calamity on Western power.
As you can see, the Europeans are already denying airspace to US military aircraft. They in fact do need access to energy to survive. No amount of think tank articles can get you out of this one. No amount of Claude agents can create energy for you out of nothing.
The White House@WhiteHouse
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you…” - President Donald J. Trump

While social media is polarising, evidence suggests AI may nudge people towards the centre.
This holds true of all studied models. Grok is more right-leaning than other models, but also has depolarising effects.

@JoaquinBaranao Eso sí consideras que el problema es sólo el transporte.
Pero para muchas personas el coche es más que eso: es un símbolo de estatus, es un parche a problemas de autoestima e inseguridades, etc.

@EPPGroup The @EPPGroup is misleading the public. The truth?
➡️Amendments passed Mar 11; EPP just forced a revote.
➡️EPP Govs are blocking targeted scanning.
➡️#ChatControl fails as predators use E2EE.
➡️The "surging" stats aren't EU private chats—and happened WITH the law in place!
