'A trained observer' - well - perhaps. There is a truly massive difference between casual observations of physicians who have had no specific experience of a disease, and ones who deal with it daily. For many conditions, general practitioners do not have much greater 'feel' for if you have something than the general public.
Quoting from https://www.researchgate.net/p... [researchgate.net] " Two parkinsons patients were under the care of each GP. Only 33 percent of GPs were aware of atypical features in early parkinsons disease.
If the early atypical feature was one that may occur in late-stage PD, the GPs' awareness was even lower at 19 percent. 32 percent of GPs were unable to provide any alternative diagnosis to parkinsonism. This survey suggests a poor level of awareness among Singapore GPs on the identification and presence of alternative parkinsonian conditions."
(25% of patients with 'parkinsons' may in fact have other, treatable conditions.) If your average GP has 2 patients with a condition, they may know very, very little about it other than the briefest outline.
You're claiming that GPs don't have a greater "feel" for symptoms and can't make a better casual observation than a random person.
You're using some researchgate.net article as support for your claim, yet you're quoting shit relating to ATYPICAL indicators. The topic we're discussing is the TYPICAL indicators that HRC seemingly presents.
The AC post you responded to doesn't deal with ATYPICAL indicators, it merely points out that yes, doctors and other practitioners have a better eye for this sort of thing and can and do make valuable assessments on mere casual observation.
AC posted simple facts. You're posting the rant. You're the one emotional and upset over simple facts. You're the one making baseless claims about the ACs knowledge, beliefs, and intentions. You're the one fixated.
Only 33 percent of GPs were aware of atypical features in early parkinsons disease.
How many were aware of the typical features? No one's talking about atypical features. They're talking about the plain-as-day shit we see in many videos of Clinton.
Firewire, ADC, one button mice, endless shitty remotes, terrible lamp style iMac revisions that resulted in GPU/mobo failures due to overheating, a joke of a server line, the seemingly-intentional destruction of the Mac Pro line, the continued neglect of the Macbook Pro line, the iPad 3 they tried to pretend didn't exist just a few months after it came out, sticking with Power PC for nearly a decade too long, the attempt to use the Apple TV to wrangle content control, "Super Drives" that had about a 50% chance of just eating your CD/DVD/etc., mid 2000s laptops with overheating issues (other than those caused by Nvidia), antenna gate / you're holding it wrong, AT&T exclusivity, Apple Maps, etc. etc.
2G is dead on TMobile except for the "M2M" embedded shit and roaming agreements. Last summer was the last time I heard a peep about them along the lines of upgrade your shit or fuck off.
My point is they're posturing for no reason. Everyone in Europe has written them off because they always have and always will do their own thing. They never even adopted the Euro for shit's sake. Why even pretend they're anything but the US's crazy uncle?
It's at the 9th percentile, which as of the last update was 26 GB.
If you're on the unlimited unlimited plan, after the 97th percentile you're deprioritized (QoS). If you're on the not unlimited unlimited plans, you're straight throttled.
If you care about storage space more than you care about quality, encoding to h265 is fine. Please use the cleanest source, though, unless you're a dumbass and you don't care about generational loss.
10-bit encoding of 8-bit sources is retarded. But it's a thing they do, however, especially the anime kiddos. It effectively acts a variable denoise filter which is useful when they're ripping from crunchyroll, OTA/cable/satellite, or even BluRay. 99% of the time the content gets quantized back the same (or slightly worse) as with 8-bit, but when dealing with noise or a gradient it can rely on just using a higher precision.
x264 also seems to perform some intermediary calculations at a higher precision when you run in 10-bit mode for some reason, reducing internal rounding/truncating/fuckating. Or at least it did. Not sure about x265.
Of course, your decoder has to deal with fucking that back out to 8 bpc for display, and that process isn't defined in the standard, so good luck!
With an 8-bit source, staying in 8-bit and properly tuning a denoise filter would yield better results.
If your encoder is more efficient when outputting 10 bpc data than 8 bpc data when given 8 bpc data as a source then your encoder is broken. Hint: Your 10-bit mode using higher-precision internal calculations than the 8-bit mode is broken.
Anime people do this because it effectively acts like a low pass filter when you stretch your shit to 10 bits then encode at a bitrate low enough such that the 2 LSB get ignored 99% of the time. This works on traditional animation because of the reduced color palette and large, flat surfaces so you typically don't notice the quality loss.
However, a decently-tuned noise filter would achieve the same result on an 8-bit encode, be more efficient, and maintain higher quality (whether you see it or not). Plus every damn device in existence accelerates 8-bit decoding (and encoding) and will work with it. Alternatively, start with a clean source
Of course, when you only have a OTA/cable/sat feed, crunchyroll, or even a BluRay/DVD as your source, you're going to need to denoise first. Or, do like the clowns do and run it in 10-bit mode and let the encoder chop 99% of it back to 8-bit, but have overhead and wasted bits when keeping slight noise or gradients at 10-bit. Oh, and continue the asshattery and pipe it all out at 4:2:0 chroma subraping!
Kids today don't even verify every field/frame by hand and don't know the horrors of variable frame rate, variable field order, telecine, etc. Get off my lawn, etc.
Intel forces their new chipset to run in XHCI mode despite USB 3's backwards compatibility. XHCI is not supported in the Windows 7 installers, not the Gold/RTM, not the SP1 release, and not the later "media refresh" release.
These things don't just happen. Intel actively breaks compatibility in their new chipsets by disabling EHCI mode and forcing XHCI mode despite the backwards compatibility USB 3 is supposed to have. This was a deliberate move.
Windows 7 is not EOL. It's in the extended support (security and major bug patches only) stage. Further, drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 10 are basically the same. This is nothing like the difference between writing drivers for Windows XP and writing drivers for Windows Vista.
Intel already tried to break the Windows 10 installer with their latest chipsets.
They forced the USB controller into XHCI mode for no reason, so when you get to the point in the Windows 7 installer where you need to interact with it, you're fucked if you're using USB installation media or a USB keyboard. Using an optical drive and an unattended setup answers file or an optical drive and a PS/2 keyboard works. Guess which things modern Intel platforms tend not to have.
Of course, the Taiwanese mobo manufacturers all released the workarounds (use a DVD and a PS/2 keyboard, use USB ports 7 and 8 which are powered by the non-Intel controller, etc.) and even published tools to patch the Windows 7 installer to just make it work. Intel and MS responded after much outcry by releasing official versions of those same tools.
Fuck both Intel and MS. If AMD goes the same way, fuck them too. Windows 10 is the worst thing to happen in computing this decade.
The difference here is people are idiots and are trained to accept logging into shit with Google for some reason. So even if they're smart and check that they're on google.com when they initiate the login, they're vulnerable if they don't check the URL again during the malicious step at the end.
A lot of AMDs chips have embedded GPUs. AMD calls the whole thing an APU. They also integrate it fairly intelligently with direct access to shared resources and shit. Their whole HSA push.
With DX12 and Vulkan games should in theory be able to access all GPUs and use them opportunistically, across discrete/embedded and even across vendors. The most common use now is to use the discrete GPU as your GPU and use the embedded GPU to encode video. If Nvidia hadn't locked down hardware accelerated PhysX to their cards you'd have games getting free, accelerated PhysX processing because they'd be able to use the shit in the CPU.
I wouldn't claim always, no. A lot of controllers will recognize that it's a foreign disk and let you get at the data if you import the foreign config, but I'm sure there are some controllers that fuck up even basic RAID 1.
