![]() ![]() other hardware accelerated video processing solutions and invite you to evaluate yourself. We believe Intel HW+Media SDK is very competitive vs. QuickSync is easy to set up and get going, but wont always provide ideal quality. What encoder you actually end up using is up to you. There are internal evaluations but nothing in publishable form yet. NVENC on Maxwell and Pascal almost matches x264 veryfast (or if you use low latency vbr 2pass then it actually surpasses it at times). PSNR/SSIM and other quality metrics can help but there is no substitute for golden eyes.Īs you may guess from these details competitive performance and quality is very important. In today's video I compare all of the major streaming encoders - X264 vs NVENC vs AMF/VCE vs QuickSync and show you which encoder performs. An important tip for comparing quality is to look at the bitrate actually achieved, not just what was requested. Sample_multi_transcode par files can be set up with multiple lines to start multiple sessions simultaneously.įor PSNR/SSIM quality comparisons there are many options but one of my favorites is the psnr tool in libyuv. Looking around this subreddit, it seems many people favor nvidia GPU transcoding so I am. ![]() The decoding process will still use your CPU. The post details some of the issues with NVENC transcoding most notably that, the encoding process will use your GPU. Transcode is a better test for hardware capabilities because encode and decode by themselves have significant raw I/O overhead. Which strongly encourages the use of Intel’s Quick Sync instead of Nvidia’s NVENC. Performance numbers for Media SDK can be obtained easily from its samples. Standard quality comparisons like PSNR or SSIM have many limitations so "better" may be best left to your evaluation. Intel® Quick Sync Video uses the dedicated media processing capabilities of Intel® Graphics Technology to decode and encode fast, enabling the processor to complete other tasks and improving system responsiveness.

![]() It will feature in Parliament’s commemorative book produced for this event. In 2018, Kite Lake has been chosen as one of the firms in the UK financial services industry to participate in a celebration organised by the History of Parliament Trust to mark the centenary of the Representation of the People Act. Our culture is not conducive to creating ‘egos’,” explains Khadjenouri. We are very down to earth with our feet on the ground. “A firm run by a woman has a different culture and a different perspective. Kite Lake is now amongst the largest hedge fund managers in Europe, or globally, co-founded by a woman. The culture is perhaps in part a function of its diversity. Our risk management systems and processes have proven themselves to be effective over the past 7 years,” says Khadjenouri. “Furthermore, a robust risk governance framework has been put in place by our “non-investment” team lead by Rupert Haworth-Booth. Our portfolio managers are indifferent about the size of their personal book,” Khadjenouri adds. They create all sorts of problems, at the interpersonal and investment levels in terms of forced investing, and internal competition over book sizes and returns on capital. The flagship strategy is run as one portfolio without any silos. Half of the team worked together before joining Kite Lake and we have over 70 years of collective event driven experience,” says Khadjenouri. Lernout is credit portfolio manager, Sherman is equity portfolio manager, and Khadjenouri is both CIO and CRO, but there is no star culture of any one person dominating. Massi Khadjenouri Co-Founder, CIO and CRO, Kite Lake A firm run by a woman has a different culture and a different perspective. Lernout, too, has been active since the infancy of Europe’s levered, stressed and distressed credit markets in the late 1990s. She began as a proprietary trader at Paribas with the team that was then spun out into Centaurus Capital, before setting up Cheyne’s event desk. Khadjenouri, who featured in the 2012 edition of our biennial ‘Tomorrow’s Titans’ report published in association with EY, has been investing in the event driven market since its genesis twenty-five years ago. Their partnership dates back even further to when Khadjenouri was a client of Lernout’s at Goldman Sachs where he was investing on a proprietary basis, when they co-invested in some deals. Kite Lake was originally co-founded by Massi Khadjenouri and Jan Lernout who worked together at Cheyne Capital from 2005 before launching the KL Special Opportunities Master Fund in February 2011. The KL Event Driven UCITS Fund has recorded a 3.67% net return in the first three months of this year. As of April 2018, the UCITS fund AUM stood at $235m.īefore joining Kite Lake in 2011, Sherman was the co-Head of European Research at PSAM, having started his career at UBS in 2000. It invests in the same merger arbitrage and equity event driven positions as the flagship strategy but does not include the credit or distressed elements from the Cayman fund. ![]() In May 2017 Kite Lake launched a UCITS version of the strategy which is lead managed by Jamie Sherman, the portfolio manager for the M&A and equity event driven strategies in the master fund. The strategy has profited in 21 of the 33 down months for the MSCI World Index during the period. The average annualised returns over the Fund’s 7 year plus track record is 9 % net of fees with a volatility of 5.3%, a Sharpe of 1.7 and average correlation of 0.18 to the MSCI World Index. The KL Special Opportunities Fund recorded a 10.3% net return in 2017 (for the USD A Share Class) and recorded a strong + 5% net return in the first three months of 2018. Kite Lake Capital Management UK LLP, the London-based hard catalyst-focused event driven fund manager, celebrated its seven-year track record on February 1st, 2018 and in the process recorded its seventh consecutive year of positive returns. ![]() ![]() ![]() You should see text in the blue box from GeekTool: If you do that, the path should be “/Users/YourName/Documents/new.command”. I’d recommend putting it in your home folder, possibly in Documents. Now in the “Command” text box put the path to the script. Click “New Entry” and then choose “Shell” from the drop-down menu: Now install GeekTool, and open it in System Preferences. Hit enter, type your password, and that’s it. Open a terminal and type “sudo chmod +x” and drag the file into the window (or enter the path manually). First, rename the shell script as “mand”. To get it on your desktop, you’ll need to download GeekTool, and then the shell script from Novak (it’s the one entitled “news.sh”). That means you can configure GeekTool to embed the output from Novak’s script on your desktop, like so: GeekTool is a preference pane for embedding images, system logs, and output from Unix commands. By itself, not very useful unless you love the terminal (like I do). That’s why Apple has such a fiercely loyal following.A man by the name of Rodolfo Novak has created a shell script that parses RSS feeds and generates excerpts for the last few entries. I wouldn’t have thought that such a simple change in layout would make such a difference, but it does. I haven’t noticed any new functionality, but the presentation of the options is much better. Let me say one good word about iTunes: I think the changes made in iTunes 7 for handling iPods are very well done. I re-deleted the episodes maybe they’re really gone this time. I suppose there’s some value in all those “Are you sure you want to do this?” dialog boxes, but I can’t see why anyone would want to keep a file on disk but not list it in iTunes. The desire of iTunes to save me from myself had the effect of doing exactly the opposite of what I wanted. No doubt I had given the wrong answer to one of those questions iTunes is always asking me when I delete or rearrange things. One surprise I had after importing was that many podcast episodes I thought I’d thrown away-and which had not been showing up in the list of episodes on the mini-suddenly appeared. (If I’d remembered that some of my smart playlists were based on my ratings I might not have been so cavalier about trashing those files.) This lost me my playlists, which were easy enough to recover, and my song ratings, which were not. I thought about Googling for a solution, but decided it would be faster and easier to just throw away those two files and import all the music. The problem with this was that the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files still thought the music was on the external disk so iTunes tried to go to the now-disconnected disk to get the MP3 data. When I first started iTunes, I opened its Preferences and made sure it was looking in the right place for the music files. So I connected the external disk to the iMac and copied its iTunes Music folder over to ~/Music/iTunes/. Since the music wasn’t on the mini’s internal disk, it didn’t come over during setup. The problem stemmed from the mini’s small (80 GB) hard disk, which had forced me to keep its music library on an external hard disk, a hard disk I wasn’t going to use on the new iMac. The only problem was iTunes, which shouldn’t have surprised me as iTunes and I have a difficult relationship. I had to reestablish the Bluetooth connection to my cell phone-the article had told me I would-but after that iSync worked fine. All the settings, bookmarks, cookies, passwords, messages, alarms, etc. Safari, Mail, iCal, and Address Book started up perfectly. When the setup was done, the iMac’s desktop looked just like the mini’s had-only much bigger, of course-the first thing I did after setup was reposition my GeekTool items to put them down at the bottom of the new screen). Before starting I read a little bit about how the Migration Assistant would work, so I was ready with a FireWire cable to hook up the mini and transfer its settings. The setup of the new iMac went very well. It’s on its way to becoming a single-purpose server, a job it will handle with ease. The experiment was a success, but the mini started to feel a little underpowered as I expanded the number of programs I used regularly and simultaneously. The mini was sort of a test to see if I could use a Mac for work again after about 8 years of Linux. It’s replacing the Mac mini I’ve been using since April of last year. Last Friday, I set up my new 24-inch iMac at work. ![]() ![]() We’re led to believe that the lyrics she’s singing in the next scene may be about their relationship. Right before the clip, the documentary films Eilish having a somewhat strained phone call with her boyfriend at the time, rapper 7:AMP, whom she affectionately calls Q (she asks him to please call her back, but he’s already hung up the phone). The song, “Happier Than Ever,” still bears its former title “Away From You.” It’s 2019, and she’s touring her debut album for the first time, holed up in a hotel room somewhere in the U.S. There’s a clip of her softly singing the song, which will come to be the album’s title, in the documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry, with her brother, Finneas, harmonizing and accompanying her on guitar. Yet the song that fans and critics have latched on to as a definitive standout is one of the earliest she wrote, before Happier Than Ever was even a concept. (“Things I once enjoyed just keep me employed now,” she sighs on the opening track “Getting Older.”) Fame has taken a toll on Eilish, resulting in a new worn, wearied outlook from the still-teenaged star. On her second studio album, the 19-year-old star manages to outdo herself on all fronts, weaving together a 16-track record that’s no longer concerned with imaginary monsters, but real life ones lurking around every corner: the stalkers prowling outside her door, abusers taking advantage of young girls, the nondisclosure agreements strangulating every potential relationship, and the weight of a million eyes watching your every move. wanna umm hurt your feelings and i umm.Billie Eilish’s sophomore album, Happier Than Ever, was released on July 30, and has already been embraced as the young pop star’s most unsparingly honest, and sonically diverse yet - a genuine feat considering her claim to fame was gloomy confessionals about self-harm, depression, and nightmares set against a spare musical background that altered the pop landscape as we knew it. i thought you'd leave me for someone better" he says i didn't think breaking up with you would make you feel like this" he says "y/n" the one voice i didn't want to hear ![]() I never had them when Eli would be there for me always said you were misunderstood MADE ALL MY MOMENTS YOUR OWN. b-but id have an empty line cause you never did." i say i could talk about every time that you showed up on time.

Later in the obituary, it explains that Tommy was “tortured” by a “blindingly painful and merciless disease called depression,” and that, despite a strong support network of his loving family, friends, and doctors, “the pain became overwhelming and unyielding and unbearable” for the “young man of surpassing promise to our broken world.” “Tommy Raskin had a perfect heart, a perfect soul, a riotously outrageous and relentless sense of humor, and a dazzling radiant mind,” his parents wrote in a Medium post. Additionally, it also speaks to his dedication to serving others while growing up - from serving as a tutor at Montgomery Blair High School’s tutoring to becoming a teaching assistant at Harvard University.

Orion, formerly known as Dongyang Confectionary, is one of the three largest food companies in South Korea.

Much of this can be attributed to the fact that, as much as his name might be splattered across the cover, it sounds much more like the work of a complete band rather than just a Rob Zombie project. The freaky ‘What You Gonna Do with That Gun Mama?’ leads into the scattershot madness of ‘Get Loose’, and with smooth interlude ‘The Serenity of Witches’ being followed by the sinister funk (how is that even a thing?) of album closer ‘Crow Killer Blues’, another journey into unrelenting absurdity is at an end.Īs eclectic and demented as ever, TLIKAEC is a riot of dark, twisted fun and is a far more cohesive record than it really has any right to be. ‘Shower of Stones’ is another short but suitably off-kilter break in proceedings before the trashy party drawl of ‘Shake Your Ass – Smoke Your Grass’ takes over, followed by the John Carpenter style menace of ‘Boom-Boom-Boom’. ‘The Satanic Rites of Blacula’ is an irresistible romp bolstered by a sixties style riff and a handclap section. A darkly gentle acoustic piece performed by the criminally underrated John 5, by all rights it should sound hopelessly out of place on a record like this, yet feels perfectly at home. ‘The Eternal Struggles of the Howling Man’ is classic Rob Zombie riffery meets lounge act funk and science fiction weirdness while ‘The Much Talked Of Metamorphosis’ is the complete opposite. ![]() Another brief interlude, ‘A Brief Static Hum and Then the Radio Blared’ leads into the amazingly titled and completely mental ’18th Century Cannibals, Excitable Morlocks and a One-Way Ticket on the Ghost Train’, a country song with dirty vocals, frivolous guitar licks, computer blips, a harmonica and the odd burst of raging metal fury just to keep you nice and unsettled. ‘Hovering Over the Dull Earth’ is a typically odd Zombie interlude which acts as a segue into the uptempo boogie rock of ‘Shadow of the Cemetery Man’.
