    The difference between using general knowledge and summaries and doing code-for-code rewrites cannot be understated. When creating `wedeo`, despite DIRECTLY reviewing FFmpeg's code…

    Comment #47615798

    I don’t really think there’s any actual benefit to `wedeo` existing, beyond the novelty of having pure Rust media processing software and perhaps being easier to use as a library. …

    Good to know! I have licensed as LGPL so I think that covers it. Rewriting x264 and x265 are in scope so I’ll keep that in mind. I will design the application as well so that those…

    The tests are the real clincher here. That’s the main reason that this project has made so much progress: the FATE suite highlights specific bugs to fix and tracks regressions. As …

    Comment #47615592

    To be clear, `wedeo` took a few weeks to get to this point, and it is by no means fully featured. Even with LLMs, it will take a few months to reach that point with me as the sole …

    For the purposes of debugging, assembly is machine code, just with some nice constructs to make it easier to read. Transpiling between assembly and machine code is mostly a find-an…

    These things may not be true in the future. I just meant to describe the current state of the project. With Rust being a modern language and the repository being AI-optimized, I wo…

    Comment #47604578

    You don’t have to like it but you have to admit that it’s pretty impressive to pass the entire FATE test suite with purely AI-generated code. I honestly didn’t think it would be po…

    I don’t know if I would say I don’t “care” about the license. I want to respect the FFmpeg license, and considering that my project is a straight ripoff, it would be dishonest to n…

    Comment #47604538

    I found this project, but I’m not surprised that it doesn’t have much progress. Doing this kind of Rust rewrite is an absolutely gargantuan undertaking that I don’t think it would …

    Comment #47604522

    I suppose “review” is misleading, since I’m not actually reading the code, I’m simply asking Claude to explain what the code is doing. I’ll change that so it’s expressly clear that…

    It’s used for multithreading and also for assembly loading. It’s not checked by anything other than Claude itself, so that would definitely be a strong candidate for manual review.…

    Comment #47604468

    I’m using FFmpeg’s own FATE suite, which is intended to poke at those edge cases, as well as JVT vectors. I’d love to get a more robust set of weird files similar to what symphonia…

    Comment #47601273

    After playing around with Claude Code for a bit, rewriting some Python tooling in Rust to great effect, I was interested in pushing the boundaries of what LLMs could do in terms of…

    It’s playing stupid to pretend that the theft of a hardly used handle has anything to do with an actual user account. I’m sure if @hac had a presence online, their handle wouldn’t …

    Your bot messed up and posted twice in the same thread.

    Government can subsidize the poor. Remember Obamaphones? Just expand that idea.

    Takaichi is much more popular than Truss was, and Japan is in a much better situation right now than post-Brexit post-COVID UK. And absolutely nobody is seeking a better relationsh…

    I spoke with a silver expert a week ago before the crash and he said half the flow is speculative, structural flow will remain. Looks like he was right.

    It is most certainly LLM generated. Nobody but an AI prompted with “connect the unwind of the yen carry trade with Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland” would have ever written som…
