In March of 2023 we announced that we were starting work on a safer high performance AV1 decoder called rav1d, written in Rust. We partnered with Immunant to do the engineering work. By September of 2024 rav1d was basically complete and we learned a lot during the process. Today rav1d works well—it passes all the same tests as the dav1d decoder it is based on, which is written in C. It’s possible to build and run Chromium with it. There’s just one problem—it’s not quite as fast as the C version

We often say that the light leaves a person’s eyes when they die. But it turns out all living organisms, including humans, emit a literal glow that extinguishes after death, according to a new study. The study, published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, found that living things glow faintly throughout their lives due to the energy released by metabolic and cellular processes.
