Fun fact of the day: ffmpeg is written by Fabrice Bellard, who among other impressive things, wrote the JS PC emulator capable of running windows 2000 in a browser over 10 years ago that got me fascinated with emulators in general. https://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html

Fabrice is superhuman for sure, but in 20 years the urban legend will go like ... Fabrice Bellard once read all of TAOCP in 20 minutes before being absorbed into his own AI and is now ascended in the ethereal ethernet silently fixing bugs in your code. Blessed be the bits.

I’ve never had to directly use ffmpeg. What do you do that makes it so useful to you? Something in video production?

Yes, chat GPT excels at comprehending and explaining things that have a consistent structure, restructuring, and and synthesising variations. If you keep it in its lane, it’s an excellent tool. It’s really really bad at counting though. For example, try asking it to produce a line of 40 asterisks.

It’s bad at counting because counting relies on a stateful O(N) algorithm you run in your brain. GPT is trained to reproduce human text, which tends to simply have the output of this O(N) counting process, but not the process itself. So GPT “thinks” it should be able to just spit out the number just like human text implies we do. It doesn’t know we are relying on an offline O(N) algorithm. If you have it emit a numbe…

Chuck Norris once opened Windows and created the Macintosh.

Is it possible to mount video for Youtube using only ffmpeg for cutting footage, adding music/letters/filters and never using GUI?
