NVENC has a slow preset:

As they expand the NVENC options that are exposed on the command line, is it getting closer to CPU-encoding level of quality?

Then each executive's AI can just review the slides. Then the AIs can send a string of pointless emails back and forth to each other, come to a consensus and share the decision in an email blast to the whole company.

Wait.. why do we need execs again?

The title is a bit weird. On my first reading it makes it sound like two different people can have indistinguishable fingerprints. But after reading/skimming the article+paper, it seems like what they've actually done is been able to correlate fingerprints from different fingers on the same person.

So the title makes it sound like they've weakened the basis of fingerprinting as forensic evidence, when in fact they've developed a way to link the different fingerprints from the same criminal so that additional cases could be solved.

e.g. if a criminal only left a thumb print at one crime scene and an index finger print at another, this posed a problem for investigators because they couldn't link them to the same person, but this "AI" approach can link those two different prints to the same person.

Firing someone "with cause", but without any real actual reason (cause), is illegal.

I don't think it shows any ads.

Right, but non-alcoholic beer is good, because it tastes like hoppy goodness without the alcohol or calories.

Whereas white claw does not taste good, and this has more calories than many (better) seltzers (which already don't have alcohol). So it seems like a weird move.

I assume they are just banking on their name recognition generating some sales, but I hope people go for some of the better options from smaller companies!

It's 15 calories "better" than seltzer.

Seems like a weird move. The soda water/seltzer market has gotten crowded in the last few years.

Just have to coordinate with your neighbor and open both doors!

Yeah.. it would be a nightmare. Maybe hauling stuff up to a balcony would work better.

I got one of their 100W chargers and it's awesome. Can charge my MacBook from work, but is smaller than the bundled Mac charger.

Can power my personal surface + phone + wife's phone.

It's great!

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Clearly they mean that they want the growth to be "sustainable", not the company..

From the article:

The bad news is that the 6 GHz wireless spectrum uses shorter wavelengths. Short wavelengths are great for fast data transfers at close range, So, they're great for connecting to your Wi-Fi 7-enabled HDTV a few feet away from your router

With a range that short, you're not going to be doing much roaming around. It obviously has some use cases, but unless you need to be streaming data it doesn't make a lot of sense.

The example we are discussing in this thread is transferring data off of a high res/high performance camera. For many situations this can be done after filming is completed, in which case a cord still makes a lot more sense. Hence my joke.

For live broadcasting it could be useful, but the range still seems quite limiting.

And the external wireless data transfer pack can be connected to the camera by a long thin piece of metal. Maybe we could call it a "cord". And why stop there, it could be disconnected from the camera when you're not transferring data.

I love that you found this workaround, but arguably that code path should do the admin check, too.

Didn't a new Hunger Games movie just hit theaters? I assumed most of this stuff was a result of their marketing campaign..

Yeah, wireless Android Auto is great, although I've noticed that it's fairly battery-intensive.

I've only used it on rental cars. My own car says that wireless Android Auto is supported, but I've never gotten it to work, and I think the on-screen message saying it should work is actually a bug. Probably because they have the same (or very similar) code running on newer versions of my car which do support wireless Android Auto.

The annoying thing is that the annoying guys are more likely to get a date, while they just go about their day. Not because they are better, or because their methods are good, but purely because they approach more people.

I hate making people feel uncomfortable (no matter their gender), so I always struggled finding "spontaneous" dates, or even dancing with strangers at a club/party.

The only thing that really worked for me was using dating apps, where both parties have implicitly indicated that they are looking for dates in general (because they're on the app) and explicitly indicated that they are interested in each other (by liking their profile, or whatever).

Although I've heard the apps have all gotten worse lately, I wouldn't really know, as I found someone on Tinder years ago, and now we're happily married.

So are Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

So are normal Cheetos, for that matter.

Well until very recently it didn't have any auto-save functionality, so it was probably trying to avoid losing unsaved changes

This phrasing

offsetting everything else your kidneys are filtering

sounds like a negative thing, at least how I'm reading it.

I know drinking too much water is bad, but was under the impression that drinking a lot of water is generally better for you.
