The whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. The single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. In each of these parts, however, the philosophical Idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. ![]() "Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. It is like “a circle rounded and complete in itself” “The single circle, because it is a real totality, burst through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle… resembles a circle of circles” “… constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organization” (Hegel, ). Each system was refuted by the successor, and at the same time the earlier system was still bought forth, in the evolution of system after system The earlier systems in the progression were more abstract. Hegel’s dialectic Notion is about the unfolding process “from abstract to concrete” historically in the “shape of successive systems, each based on a particular definition of the Absolute” (Hegel, ). Nevertheless, the circles that do not repeart their cycle exactly as before, can become spirals. Hegel (1830) writes of 'circles' not of spirals.

![]() You can even do weird stuff like quote stacking. However quotes and escaping is fully supported, so there should be no issues for now. This is to be more in line with how you would use FFmpeg, and at a future point -key value might become possible, but right now it is not. Custom Settings now take a string in the format -key=value -key=value.Various settings were converted to a Tristate option instead of a checkbox, to allow staying at the default value given by the FFmpeg encoder.Error messages should now be more descriptive, instead of just being Not Translated Yet all the time.Additional setting descriptions were added by another kind soul under the name UserNaem.GPU Selection for (Software) encoders! A kind soul called kryztoval has added support for easily changing the GPU on which the encoding will actually happen.It is now the default mode for encoders marked with (Hardware). Single Graphics Context Mode is here! The plugin no longer spawns a graphics context per encoder and instead reuses the one that OBS Studio creates, which allows us to work much more efficiently at much lower cost.You might see an increase in GPU usage with an identical increase in stream quality due to this. NVENC Settings are no longer being ignored! Lookahead, Spatial AQ and Temporal AQ should now be properly applied instead of being ignored like they were before.Due to this you will lose all encoder configurations, make sure to back them up using screenshots or similar before installing the new version. All encoders have been renamed to fix name collisions.OBS Studio dependencies were updated! The minimum OBS Studio is now 24.0.3, so make sure that you are using the most up to date OBS Studio there is, otherwise the plugin might behave weird or not even launch.Huge thanks for doing this as it made the investigation into NVENC problems easier. Additionally many of the checkboxes are now dropdowns to allow staying at the default setting given by the FFmpeg encoder.Īlso thanks to two kind souls, kryztoval and UserNaem, the plugin now has a user friendly way to select the GPU for (Software) encoders and more settings have a proper description tooltip. Lookahead, Spatial AQ and Temporal AQ are now correctly set instead of being ignored, which should result in an immediately noticable increase in stream quality, but at the cost of some GPU usage which should be expected. To make up for this, I've spent a lot of time fixing the NVENC integration. Due to that you will lose all your previous settings for the encoders added by the plugin unless you backed them up in some form (screenshots, text copies) and restore them afterwards. However due to a problem with Mixer streaming, I had to rename the unique id for each encoder so that Mixer streaming works again. ![]() This change requires that you are using OBS Studio 24.0.x, and ideally you are using 24.0.3 or newer. Enabling this will give higher quality at the cost of more GPU resource usage.Who needs lower CPU and GPU usage? Everyone! And that's why the new (Hardware) integration now shares the graphics context with OBS Studio, which should result in an even further reduced CPU and GPU usage for everyone. Multipass Mode is used to determine whether a second pass is used in encoding, and has three settings: Disabled, Quarter Resolution, and Full Resolution.It has three settings: High Quality, Low Latency, and Ultra Low Latency. Tuning is used to determine whether to prioritize latency or quality.OBS will automatically map your current NVENC settings to the closest preset when upgrading. The number of simultaneous NVENC encoding sessions may be lower when using the highest presets. Note that higher presets may incur higher GPU usage which could impact the performance of games running simultaneously with OBS. Presets are now P1-P7, lower numbers being lower quality, higher numbers being higher quality.Presets have been split into 3 different settings: Preset, Tuning, and Multipass mode.When it comes to NVENC, in v28.1 they've changed the way you can configure it with quite a lot more options, so you can really tweak what your videos will look like now with this encoder: Some of the changes (as usual) only affect Windows, but there's still some goodies in there for Linux too.Įasily one of my favourites bits of FOSS software, couldn't imagine being without it now for video recording and livestreaming, well worth supporting directly! OBS Studio has a new release out now, and it comes with some changes for NVIDIA GPU owners who use NVENC. ![]() Please create your question from your favorites list, so it comes directly to meĤ.

Jeff Bell, president of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association, said the judge’s decision solidifies that Miller and Stambaugh were terminated improperly. “It is painful for me to once again see that there is no accountability,” Alhadeff said.Īn arbitrator has not yet ruled on the case involving a third fired deputy, Edward Eason. Lori Alhadeff, who joined the Broward County School Board less than a year after the shooting, said in a message to The Associated Press that her daughter Alyssa and 16 others are no longer alive because of the inaction and failures of many, including Miller and Stambaugh. The sheriff’s office appealed both decisions. Another arbitrator reinstated Miller last May, saying Tony had missed that deadline by two days. ![]() State law says discipline against law enforcement officers must occur within 180 days of an investigation’s completion. One arbitrator had ruled in September that Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony acted 13 days too late when he fired deputy Stambaugh in 2019 for his conduct during the February 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. That includes accrued sick and vacation time, overtime and off-duty detail pay, among other benefits that they would have been paid had they not been fired.

If the whole world ate like China or India, with their mostly plant-based diets, we could return more than half of all agricultural land to nature (Opens in a new tab) tomorrow. We have transformed the entire surface of the planet - clear-cutting forests, fencing off swathes of acreage, killing off habitats for untold numbers of animals - because we are addicted to eating burgers alongside our fries. The vast majority of our diet comes from crops, which need only 11 million square kilometers - and even less in the future if vertical farming (Opens in a new tab), aka food grown in skyscrapers, takes off. But not all farmland is created equal: 40 million square kilometers is just for livestock, mostly cattle. So what's taking up the remaining space? Well, of the 104 million square kilometers of habitable land (Opens in a new tab) on this planet, agriculture takes up a stunning 51 million square kilometers. Even as suburban sprawl grows, we are becoming more compact overall: a 2008 study found 95 percent of humanity lives on 10 percent of the available land (Opens in a new tab). How realistic a goal is that? More than you might think - largely because we don't need as much space as you might expect.Ĭities take up a mere 3 percent (Opens in a new tab) of the planet's land surface, even though more than half of the world population now live in them (Opens in a new tab). If we can bring that number up to 50 percent of land and ocean, Wilson believes, then we should be able to avert a major mass extinction - and still have 85 percent of our current roster of species around in 2100. Given the scale of the crisis, Wilson writes, "conservationists haven't been thinking big enough." Some 15 percent of the planet's land and about 4 percent of its oceans are currently under some form of government protection, meaning you can't fish or farm or develop there. In other words, we're already living through a slow-motion Thanos snap - no supervillain required. He was spurred on by the estimate that half of all species on Earth will be extinct by the end of the century (Opens in a new tab). Building on a phrase coined (Opens in a new tab) by a Smithsonian magazine writer, Wilson published Half Earth: Our Planet's Fight For Life in 2016, and established the Half-Earth Project the following year. It comes straight from one of the most respected names in biology, the multi-award-winning scientist and author E.O. We're already living through a slow-motion Thanos snap - no supervillain requiredĪs extreme as that sounds, the Half-Earth Project (Opens in a new tab) is for real. Instead of wiping out half of all the humans on Earth, let's remove all human activity from half of the Earth's surface. (Spoiler: It did.) There are many other ways in which the big purple guy didn't think his plan through: Experts say it would cause the collapse of entire ecological systems (Opens in a new tab), not to mention messing with the gut bacteria we can't live without.Īnd of course, if Thanos were really so concerned about limited natural resources, he could have just snapped his fingers and doubled them instead (Opens in a new tab).īut there is a surprising similarity between Thanos' goal and one of the most ambitious environmental proposals on the table - one that could help reverse climate change and prevent species extinction. This demi-genocide, he reasoned, would leave the remaining population with such abundant resources that there would be no more war, no more famine, no more societal collapse.Īfter Infinity War, I wrote about how Thanos made the same mistake as philosopher Thomas Malthus, who didn't think our ability to grow food would keep pace with a rising population. Thanos of Titan, the ultimate big bad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, assembled the all-powerful Infinity Stones in his Infinity Gauntlet so he could eradicate 50 percent of all life in the cosmos, chosen at random, by snapping his fingers. ![]() Don't worry, this post is free of Avengers: Endgame spoilers.Īvengers: Endgame hits theaters this week, which means we're about to find out how Earth's greatest superheroes can reverse the destructive actions of the galaxy's most misguided environmentalist. |
