Assembly language is the best.

However, most "professional" programmers are incompetent assholes
that are totally ignorant of assembly language.

Not so with FFMPEG. Their highly competent devs have achieved
up to 9400% improvement using AVX-512:

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/ffmpeg-devs-boast-of-up-to-94x-performance-boost-after-implementing-handwritten-avx-512-assembly-code

The article is extremely poorly written. Nowhere is a release
number or version mentioned. When will the AVX-512 code be
released? Fucking assholes.

What can one expect from a site called "Tom's Hardware?" The name
evokes images of toothpick-chewing country bumpkins lounging next
to a flag-bedecked, rusted pickup truck.

By the way, FFMPEG rules the video world. EVERYBODY uses it, and
NOBODY uses Microslop.

I looked at that article earlier, if you notice, it specifies that
recent Intel CPUs have removed these instructions, while AMD keeps
them. This is a problem, for general use of this version of the
software.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
