GPT Image 1.5 is the first model that gets close to replicating the intricate detail mosaic of bullets in the "Lord of War" movie poster for me. Following the prompt instructions more closely also seems better compared to Nano Banana Pro.

I edited the original "Lord of War" poster with a reference image of Jensen and replaced bullets with GPU dies, silicon wafers and electronic components.

this sentence is breaking my :brain: trying to read :)

That is precisely the intention. The last part should also be read in double speed!

it is indeed Datawrapper like other posters have said. It works well for interactivity on a static blog like Hugo.

This test wasn't done on mobile.

For mobile, I don't know who outside of Netflix is delivering AV1. If they are, I expect them to be leveraging the hardware AV1 decoders for battery life instead of employing a software only solution like dav1d. Saying that, I think Netflix was using dav1d solution where it had a benefit (e.g. low quality cellular networks)

Pretty sure Youtube forces it with dav1d on devices that don’t support hw decoding which is how i became aware of the battery problem

Wondering about the flag myself

>Those bit rate numbers are appalling! 2-4Mbps average bitrate?

While those may sound low, what I'm thinking is Netflix didn't see any benefit in perceptual quality (or VMAF scores) but sending more bits down the pipe and increasing their bandwidth bill.

That is the problem. The think VMAF as the gospel, and AV1 is extremely well tuned for it.

VMAF is better than SSIM PSNR but it is still far from perfect. And it is a reason why most torrent are still using HEVC and AVC.

Sorry for that. I turned those off while I figure out what's going on.

Thank you. Weaving in humor and wit was a conscious choice :) Based on some of the comments above, I might have gone a little overboard.

No, it was perfect!

It's what the above comments said. I tried taking screenshot comparison but due to the DRM (I think it's called HDCP?), the netflix content ends up as black screen.

Life and other priorities :)

But on the bright side I've got a large backlog of ideas now just waiting to be turned into pixels

That's kind of you. Thank you for taking the time to look through my older posts. Will be addressing this post based on the feedback here
