And who ever heard of this in the majority of the world? It was news to me, I'm white and European btw.

Did you know the US consititues about 4% of humans? When we look at adults and age range that likely ever hear of D4vd we are talking probably considerably less that 1%.

The rest of humanity has no negative association with these four letters.

Not on topic, but wow the internet has very quickly devolved into: click -> "making sure you're not a bot", click -> "making sure you're a human", click -> "COOKIES COOKIES COOKIES", click -> "cloudflare something something"

The internet is such a Tragedy of the Commons… its citizens that act selfishly and in bad faith will slowly make it unusable.

Its pretty explicitly not a tragedy of the commons. Its a tragedy of the ruling class abusing the resources of the 'commons' to extract value. There is nothing 'commons' about trillion dollar companies extracting all available value from the labor of the working class. That's just the tragedy that'll bring around the death of society, the same tragedy that brings all other tragedys

It's a recurring headline on the rolling news channels on broadcast TV right now - and it's on the front-page of Reddit for me as well.

Gotta admit this was the first thing I thought of as well. Hard to focus on the code implementation with that in mind!

I get exactly none of that. Is your adblocker still working?

We had to set it up on the parts of VideoLAN infra so the service would remain usable.

Otherwise it was under a constant DDoS by the AI bots.

So a project should change its name because when it will be production ready 6 years from now the 1% of the 1% of the 1% will think for 1 microsecond about a piece of news from today?

We must not continue to develop media codecs in memory unsafe languages. Small, auditable sections can opt-out perhaps, but choosing default-unsafe for this type of software is close to professional negligence.

Its a followup to their existing Dav1d decoder (av1, av2)

Which, should be noted, was a thing before d4vd started his career.

dav1d - started in 2018

d4vd - started composing in 2021
