The U.S. efforts to hobble China's tech advancement through export controls have not been effective. Chinese tech companies, such as Huawei, Baidu, and SMIC, are developing their own tech ecosystems. China dominates in consumer drones, autonomous vehicles, and solar panels and batteries.
SMIC, which makes Huawei's processors, is now the third-largest chipmaker in the world and has managed to innovate despite having older-generation tech.

I recently switched to an AMD GPU and VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable. But Handbrake does not support it and it doesn't seem like it will in the foreseeable future, so I am looking for an alternative. Ideally it is just an ffmpeg GUI, but I did not find any that are: - actually compatible with linux - updated in the last 5 years - have an option vor h264_vaapi or hevc_vaapi video codecs
Another workflow I thought about that is not working is transcoding the video, but copy all audio and subtitles and let handbrake handle that, however Handbrake has no option to just copy the video stream...
So far I have tried: - ffmpeg_batch: wouldn't use my local version of ffmpeg, because of some path error, only works through wine - qwinff: got it building, but no VA-API codec, and no mkv output support (over 10 years old) - Shutter Encoder: only works through wine, font problems, no va-api support - Avidemux: takes forever to open a video clip, more of a video editor, no va-api support - Hybrid: know it from my windows days, clunky UI, no va-api support, but best candidate for me right now as I could use it to just copy video and handle audio and subtitles in here - StaxRip: the .7z file could not be extracted, I just got an error
Are you aware that HandBrake supports AMD VCN hardware video encoding, but doesn't show the option in the GUI unless support is detected on your system? Perhaps you could get it working by installing the AMD's proprietary driver.
You haven't said what source material you're encoding, so we don't know if there's a feature of Handbrake that would be hard to replace using another tool.
VA-API is the only option for hardware acceleration on linux that is viable.
I guess that depends on what you mean by viable. Are you aware of Vulkan Video?
FFMPEG apparently merged support for it last year. If you can't get HandBrake to do what you want, you might consider investing some time in learning ffmpeg commands.
the amdgpu-pro drivers are only available on LTS releases and on a few selected distros
Are you sure? I would expect AMD to have their own download & install instructions that could be used on any distro. That would be more work for you than just installing a package directly from your distro, of course.
Curiously, I just found a comment from last year claiming that amf-amdgpu-pro now works with Mesa's RADV. So maybe this approach could work without AMD's proprietary driver?
Mostly BluRay rips, so movies and TV-Shows
By rips, do you mean your source media is already in a container, like a .mkv or .mp4 file? Or are you encoding directly from optical discs? If it's the latter, then using a tool other than HandBrake for the encode might also require finding a disc ripping tool. (Not all encoding tools can decrypt and demux discs.)
I actually was not. Is it any good? But Handbrake does not support that either, does it?
I haven't used Vulkan Video. It's just an API, so I would expect the video quality to depend on your hardware's encoder, just as it would with VAAPI or any other API.
I don't think Handbrake supports it yet, so until they do, I think you would have to use some other encoding tool.
for anything involving multiple audio and subtitle streams and stream selection in general it is not an option for me…
You haven't said why, but if it's just that managing lots of streams using command line tools is more hassle than you want to deal with, you might take a look at MKVToolNix. It's pretty good at muxing, even if the source media is not a .mkv file.
Description of the feature or enhancement you'd like to see in HandBrake: AMD opensource driver (AMDGPU+MESA) offers videoenconding for h.264/h.265 over VAAPI. It would be great to have support for...

Considering the rest of the post I would guess that HR sees it as a signal that the place allows their employees to leave their desk and not pretend to work for 15 minutes (morally repugnant to an American Protestant)
Agree, but I’ll say of those gimmicks on site subsidized food places and gyms are genuinely nice. Like I don’t want to play ping pong at work, but if you’re saving me a few gym and food trips a week I’m down.
And some of us even didn’t like it, because those places could often blur the lines between a place of business and a place for socializing
To be clear, this was always the goal. If an employer could have you work 80 hours a week and sleep under your desk, they would. The goal is to give employees things to do around the office, so they don’t feel the need to actually leave work. Because if you’re playing ping pong in the break room, you’re immediately available for your manager to go “hey, we have a project for you.” Even if you’re not clocked in while playing ping pong, you’re essentially on call.
Those were gimmicks from that boom time, when wages were generally high and sooner folks switched jobs within weeks. Perks mattered in that period. Then wages dropped but the mindset that these perks mattered remained.

the meniscus i had trimmed about a decade ago turned out decent but the one i didn't get done has some pain. probably it's torn and needs to be trimmed
All that would happen would your entire meniscus getting cut up then, as why would a LLM know how to do surgery, considering it doesn't even have intelligence?
Surgery is known for sometimes making a problem worse even if a competent surgeon does it - thus surgery should be a last resort.
AI is already expert level at reading x-rays, such as identifying pneumonia in lungs. trust me lad AI will be doing surgery within a decade, and with a much lower rate of screw ups than human doctors
Unfortunately the output of neural networks is proprietary, as that's clearly lacks source code and is an act of reverse engineering to understand it.
Neural networks are nowhere near experts at reading x-rays - they just are extremely fast at comparing every single x-ray on record that contained pneumonia with the current image and notifying the expert if pneumonia is suspected, working around some human error where a condition is simply missed.
Such scheme actually needs a expert to check and determine if there's a false positive or not.
I don't see how you could go from a neural net that is good at giving suggestions as to what condition a scan contains, with some false positives and some false negatives, to the much harder task of actually performing a surgery and not screwing it up within a decade.
@Suiseiseki same way you can go from full self driving cars constantly crashing and being dangerous to being road legal now in some st ates (although personally i think this is still premature)

@rw @jazzilla Who said anything about atheism? I'm not an atheist. I just don't need an outside source for morality.
I don't know who you should look to. Maybe just one source? Any at all? The point made in the clip is there are multiple sources of people who existed throughout history, just no other sources for people in the bible.
I'm not the expert but every bible scholar will tell you there are things in the bible that are simply not true. That's my point. You're dealing in half truths.
@jazzilla you missed my point. The biblical explanation is miraculous and not explained by atheist science.
But to your point, which writers should we look to that were in the area Abraham lived, wrote about the relevant topic, and their works were preserved for 4000+ years?
There is plenty of evidence for the biblical account, but you require writings about specific characters, or else they never existed. An argument from silence.
Have you ever noticed that our perceptions of “ancient” history is nearly 100% created by the Judeo-Christian Bible, so much so that it feels as if history did not happen unless it was in the Bible…
@rw @jazzilla He's not talking about cities. He's talking about people. He's saying the only evidence of the people written about in the bible...are in the bible and no other texts from that period.
Sure there is evidence of places written about in the bible...it's called telling a half truth and it's designed to manipulate and deceive people. Try again.
those who won't seek the truth will be given over to strong delusions.
