You might want to try dumping your work from Resolve out in ProRes 422 HQ or DNxHR HQ and then encoding to h264/h265 with Compressor (costs $; it's the encoder part of Final Cut as a separate piece of software) on a Mac or Shutter Encoder. Also, I'm making a big assumption that you're using the paid version of Resolve; disregard otherwise. It might not be worth it if your input material is video game capture but if you have something like a camera that records h264 4:2:2 10bit in a log gamma then it can help preserve some quality.

The Ryzen CPUs seem to be designed to spike as high as whatever thermal limit you configure with Precision Boost Overdrive.

Even now, barreling towards 40, there’s aspects of social capabilities where I come up quite short relative to my peers.

I identify with your post as a rural kid who mostly didn't socialize with classmates after school. I went to public school, and I'm 40 now. I think the human experience is that you are inevitably going to encounter social situations where you feel outmatched or simply don't belong. I do agree with making sure your kids experience public school, but I think that's about the bare minimum of what you can offer your kids.

Yes, that's correct. Buffer sizes are also all over the place, so if you want to shoot continuously, you need to pick carefully. Check https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1856860/0 for a thorough analysis starting with the Sony A9iii (which can fill the buffer incredibly quickly with its premier feature, the 120fps 14-bit raw output global shutter). Deeper in the thread compares to the Nikon Z9.

because photos don't require highest speed cards

That hypothesis is certainly getting tested these days in specific niches. With high megapixel sensors, pre-capture, and cameras capable of pushing between 30fps and 120fps worth of compressed raws or high quality JPEGs, you can obliterate your camera's write buffer and CFExpress write bandwidth. You can make many bad photos of an animal, bird, or athlete with extreme ease -- and hopefully find that one winner in the haystack.

I would say the line between movies and photos is getting blurred, but it's unlikely you're using a shutter speed that allows for motion blur with these bursts of photos!

I realized if someone were to assign me the ticket for fixing this behavior, I would have no idea where to begin with solving it even with this blog post explaining the problem, so I'm very curious to know what the most practical solution is. (They obviously aren't adding "If someone asks you about a seahorse emoji, there isn't one available yet, no matter how strongly you believe one exists." to the system prompt.)

Sucks that the Blu-ray experience is dreadful for 4K content. You've gotta find specific Blu-ray drives with specific firmware versions to do rips, or watch on a PlayStation or similar locked-down console. There isn't even a non-pirate way to watch on a laptop or desktop anymore since Intel SGX is dead.

I bought a Gigabyte X870E board with 3 PCIe slots (PCIe5 16x, PCIe4 4x, PCIe3 4x) and 4 M.2 slots (3x PCIe5, 1x PCIe 4). Three of the M.2 slots are connected to the CPU, and one is connected to the chipset. Using the 2nd and 3rd M.2 CPU-connected slots causes the board to bifurcate the lanes assigned to the GPU's PCIe slot, so you get 8x GPU, 4x M.2, 4x M.2.

I wish you didn't have to buy Xeon or Threadripper to get considerably more PCIe lanes, but for most people I suspect this split is acceptable. The penalty for gaming going from 16x to 8x is pretty small.

They're about to close for the entirety of Passover, so, if you thought <24hrs was bad, those of us who like them just aren't ordering for 9 days...

Yeah… I stopped doing stable horde after admitting my electric rate was never going down, and it’s already about 55 cents per kWh. I try to put as many electric things to sleep or off now.

Not sure the details of Omaha, but where I live in Los Angeles, insane building codes make it incredibly difficult to profitably develop affordable housing. The very nice apartments I lived in when I lived in Tokyo would all have been illegal in Los Angeles.

That's not what affordable housing is. You probably didn't live in affordable housing in Tokyo (edit: of course I could be wrong, but it's not my first guess). Yes, your housing was affordable. But affordable housing in US cities is subsidized and price capped, with income restrictions.

Do you normally tweet your half baked “discoveries” as propaganda in an effort to undermine the government when performing an audit?

Edit: I really don’t think the way this audit is being conducted is out of a genuine love for America, or the American citizens, or even out of just wanting to do good work. This is very nakedly a dishonest, petty, and malicious investigation.

I’ve gone rushing to my boss in the past with similarly hastily researched claims and conclusions to what Musk is tweeting. In my experience, they were usually the result of me having performed insufficient research, and did not have nearly the impact I thought they would. However, these kind of junior level mistakes make for great propaganda. Anyone can read his conclusion and the chart and with zero critical thought, think “duh! The government is so stupid! I knew I couldn’t trust them to run a benefits program correctly!” And that’s exactly what Musk wants us to conclude. As you note, however, we cannot conclude that - there is a much, much higher burden of proof we should be demanding.

Can’t wait for Musk’s team to finally peel back these layers, realize that the code actually implemented the laws, and have to admit they are the idiots and apologize for wasting the government’s money on a poorly-run audit.

By a much smaller margin than Election Day conveyed. But the original comment didn’t relate to an election result. Why did you bring that up?

I think Parallels used them.

There are a lot of video game players who are tooting the "DEI is ruining games" horn, with streamers amplifying this message. You could agree with that thesis without being conservative but even researching it will pull your YouTube recommendations in that direction; it seems to align well with conservative values.

SF has something called Healthy SF where employers have to offer health insurance plans, or pay into a city-managed health account. I think the last time I looked, for a lot of businesses, it's basically a $2.25/hr raise for your employees.

edit: The best part is, if your employees don't use the money (maybe they don't know about it or don't have any health care expenses), the business can eventually reclaim it...

The restaurant association balked at this, and encouraged businesses to list out the increased cost as a separate line item on the receipt, instead of raising menu prices, basically raising a middle finger and saying "see what you idiots voted for, now you pay for it!" I don't know why I'd be mad that I have to pay for someone's health care. That's sort of how it works, doesn't it?

Since then, it has taken on a life of its own. Some places call it a health care surcharge. Others call it a SF surcharge, or a cost adjustment, or inflation fee. It's not a tax, it's not a service charge, it's not anything but whatever arbitrary number the business wants to charge without raising their menu price. And thus, it's taxable.

The healthcare surcharge is taxable, because it shouldn't exist, it should just be a 6% increase in the menu price.

On the two lane sections of I-5, among other busy trucking routes, you can encounter miles long convoys of trucks in the right lane. If you religiously stick to staying to the right, you and a whole lot of other traffic will be weaving between the trucks and changing lanes every minute or so. So nobody who's going 10mph faster than the trucks does that. If you actually did that, you'll likely get boxed out trying to get back into the left lane as soon as you come up on another truck -- you'll have a brief period where you're going 75 in the right lane, then you have to slow down to 60 to deal with a truck, then you go back to overtaking at 75, then get back in the right lane... rinse and repeat. What happens instead is that the people enraged by this will use the gap on the right to go 100mph past everyone who just wants to cruise at a steady speed past all of the trucks.

Well, they'll express their disagreement in the form of a letter and then calculate what they think you should pay and how far behind you are on the usual withholdings as a result, along with penalties.

It's a great way to start a war among the lower classes.

This is tricky to do correctly if you don't want to look like one of three things:

1. Podcast bro / Twitch streamer (giant mic inches from face)

2. Gamer (headphones with or without a headset mic)

3. Call center employee (open back mono headset with mic)

Turning off video is obviously the fastest fix to this. But assuming you don't want to do that...

You'll find a lot of people hate wearing headphones since it messes up their hairstyle or just looks distracting or some other sensory issue with having something clamped to your head. Earbuds work better for them; as long as the mic can't hear other speakers, the annoyance of half-duplex audio is eliminated.

The mic problem is harder if you don't want something obvious in frame. Lav mics work if you know how/where to attach one and to minimize clothing movement noise. Other options will require some level of room treatment if the mic isn't close to the speaker's mouth.

The problem is a near-immediate reversion to pre-WFH/hybrid times. They now have five days to solve planning that may have taken some people years, and the family as a whole is probably going to suffer, and one parent's career prospects are probably going to be damaged as a result. A lot of people aren't living near grandma and grandpa right now, which is something they might have considered doing if they knew they were going to be tethered to a desk in an office.

Yeah, that's what the IT at my company did. Installed Zscaler, rolled out a new root cert to Chrome, and then told people to configure the remaining apps they use to use the organization's root cert.

The workstation equivalent, the RTX 6000 Ada, defaults to 300W. You can get most of the performance of a 4090 by capping the power.

PC builds seem to short circuit everyone's pricing logic and drive any labor cost down to $0, just because they're willing to do it for free. Anything above that $0 is considered overpriced.

If you're living in the same dysfunctional world I am, then maybe your organization split things into repos that are separately releasable, but are conceptually so strongly coupled that you now need to create changes on 3 repos to make a change.

I was mostly hoping qemu would get paravirtualized support some day, because it is leagues ahead of VMware Player in speed. Everyone's hopes are riding on https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/pull....

Yeah, if you care about 3D acceleration on a Windows guest and aren't doing pcie passthrough, then KVM sure isn't going to do it. There is a driver in the works, but it's not there yet.

edit: I made a mistake and got confused in my head with qemu and the lack of paravirtualized support. (It does have a PV 3D linux driver, though)
