you'd get this same sort of problem generating art or writing, of course, but a number of programmers do not seem to understand that the thing they do is a creative pursuit, as if the existence of a test suite makes it a hard science

so we land instead on this industry-wide authorship laundering, encouraged by having the output come from a natural language interface with a cutesy name that makes it seem like a Guy rather than a fuzzy database with all the attribution filed off

and this isn't about copyright or whatever, just about common human decency between people who Make Things. artists of all stripes seem to understand this pretty intuitively, that you give nods to those you borrow from, because... because that's why we do any of this, to share and inspire

I'm just trying to find cli flags for an ffmpeg video encoder to get decent quality at a small filesize in a mildly reasonable timespan. I'm using svt-av1-hdr but that's close enough in LLM land to pull in similar but not equivalent flags for svt-av1-psy, svt-av1-essential, libsvtav1, and libsvtaom

Or wait, maybe it's for a GPU hardware encoder for the other GPU manufacturer. No, not that other one, the other other one.

(Doesn't help that the greater AV1 encoding community seems to have a really catty "RTFM" attitude, but there's a combination of no manual and constant changes to the scene)

you’re so close to getting it.
