Davinci resolve or premiere Pro

sakuraboo — Sat, 05 Sep 2020 18:51:05 +0800

Guys recently i saw my friends transitioning from Adobe premiere Pro to davinci resolve for video editing

Apparently the gpu usage for resolve is more extensive compared to premiere Pro, and can result in much faster decoding encoding times

Which one do you guys prefer to use?

UPS does it work here in Malaysia?

sakuraboo — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 00:50:25 +0800

Hi I've been searching articles regarding ups and compatibility with psu that uses pfc to attain higher efficiency, particularly psu with gold ratings.

Thing is, the recommended ups for a pfc psu are the pure sine wave ups instead of the common cheaper simulated sine wave ups from what i understand reading.

However, our voltage ratings are higher than those countries that seem to report problems with pfc ups and simulated sine wave ups. The other issue is i can't seem to find line interactive pure sine wave ups to purchase locally here. It's either online pure sine wave or line interactive simulated sine wave ups.

What is your experience with these commonly found line interactive simulated sine wave ups and gold rated pfc psu?

Do they work here in Malaysia?

Or create any issues?

Thanks sifus.

CIMB account attempted hack

sakuraboo — Fri, 12 Apr 2019 14:03:38 +0800

Has anybody else kena?

Just now my wife got a message to call cimb (number back of card) because somebody attempted to login her account. When called they confirm the login attempts and the account has been locked.

Her username is unique ie random four letter string followed by random four letter number, and is not used anywhere else. She didn't login her account in any external pc, and our home pc is supposedly clean.

The attempts failed probably because she changed her password after the last episode of leaked user information

Y'all better change your password if it hasn't been done

Ipad pro

Wanna ask what's your experience with the ipad pro, in particular 12" one.

Do you actually use it for note taking/reading or it just end up some gaming platform

Do you use it for serious photo editing in the field?

Excel, ms word?

GROW BABY IN A BAG

sakuraboo — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:01:08 +0800

An artificial womb successfully grew baby sheep — and humans could be next

The lambs spent four weeks in the external wombs and seemed to develop normally

Inside what look like oversized ziplock bags strewn with tubes of blood and fluid, eight fetal lambs continued to develop — much like they would have inside their mothers. Over four weeks, their lungs and brains grew, they sprouted wool, opened their eyes, wriggled around, and learned to swallow, according to a new study that takes the first step toward an artificial womb. One day, this device could help to bring premature human babies to term outside the uterus — but right now, it has only been tested on sheep.

It’s appealing to imagine a world where artificial wombs grow babies, eliminating the health risk of pregnancy. But it’s important not to get ahead of the data, says Alan Flake, fetal surgeon at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and lead author of today’s study. “It’s complete science fiction to think that you can take an embryo and get it through the early developmental process and put it on our machine without the mother being the critical element there,” he says.

Instead, the point of developing an external womb — which his team calls the Biobag — is to give infants born months too early a more natural, uterus-like environment to continue developing in, Flake says.

The Biobag may not look much like a womb, but it contains the same key parts: a clear plastic bag that encloses the fetal lamb and protects it from the outside world, like the uterus would; an electrolyte solution that bathes the lamb similarly to the amniotic fluid in the uterus; and a way for the fetus to circulate its blood and exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. Flake and his colleagues published their results today in the journal Nature Communications.

Flake hopes the Biobag will improve the care options for extremely premature infants, who have “well documented, dismal outcomes,” he says. Prematurity is the leading cause of death for newborns. In the US, about 10 percent of babies are born prematurely — which means they were born before they reach 37 weeks of pregnancy. About 6 percent, or 30,000 of those births, are considered extremely premature, which means that they were born at or before the 28th week of pregnancy.

These infants require intensive support as they continue to develop outside their mothers’ bodies. The babies who survive delivery require mechanical ventilation, medications, and IVs that provide nutrition and fluids. If they make it out of the intensive care unit, many of these infants (between 20 to 50 percent of them) still suffer from a host of health conditions that arise from the stunted development of their organ systems.

IT’S “COMPLETE SCIENCE FICTION” TO THINK YOU COULD DO THIS WITHOUT THE MOTHER
“So parents have to make critical decisions about whether to use aggressive measures to keep these babies alive, or whether to allow for less painful, comfort care,” says neonatologist Elizabeth Rogers, co-director for the Intensive Care Nursery Follow-Up Program of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, who was not involved in the study. “One of the unspoken things in extreme preterm birth is that there are families who say, ‘If I had known the outcome for my baby could be this bad, I wouldn’t have chosen to put her through everything.’”

That’s why for decades scientists have been trying to develop an artificial womb that would re-create a more natural environment for a premature baby to continue to develop in. One of the main challenges was re-creating the intricate circulatory system that connects mom to fetus: the mom’s blood flows to the baby and back, exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide. The blood needs to flow with just enough pressure, but an external pump can damage the baby’s heart.

To solve this problem, Flake and his colleagues created a pumpless circulatory system. They connected the fetus’s umbilical blood vessels to a new kind of oxygenator, and the blood moved smoothly through the system. Smoothly enough, in fact, that the baby’s heartbeat was sufficient to power blood flow without another pump.

FOR DECADES, SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEVELOP AN ARTIFICIAL WOMB
The next problem to solve was the risk for infections, which premature infants in open incubators face in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU. That’s where the bag and the artificial amniotic fluid comes in. The fluid flows in and out of the bag just like it would in a uterus, removing waste, shielding the infant from infectious germs in the hospital, and keeping the fetus’s developing lungs filled with fluid.

Flake and his colleagues tested the setup for up to four weeks on eight fetal lambs that were 105 to 120 days into pregnancy — about equivalent to human infants at 22 to 24 weeks of gestation. After the four weeks were up, they were switched onto a regular ventilator like a premature baby in a NICU.

The lambs’ health on the ventilator appeared nearly as good as a lamb the same age that had just been delivered by cesarean section. Then, the lambs were removed from the ventilator and all but one, which was developed enough to breathe on its own, were euthanized so the researchers could examine their organs. Their lungs and brains — the organ systems that are most vulnerable to damage in premature infants — looked uninjured and as developed as they should be in a lamb that grew in a mother.

OF COURSE, LAMBS AREN’T HUMANS
Of course, lambs aren’t humans — and their brains develop at a somewhat different pace. The authors acknowledge that it’s going to take more research into the science and safety of this device before it can be used on human babies. They’ve already started testing it on human-sized lambs that were put in the Biobags earlier in pregnancy. And they are monitoring the few lambs that survived after being taken off the ventilator to look for long-term problems. So far, the lambs seem pretty healthy. “I think it’s realistic to think about three years for first-in-human trials,” Flake says.

“It’s so interesting, and it’s really innovative,” Rogers says. “To be able to continue to develop in an artificial environment can reduce the many problems caused by simply being born too early.” Rogers adds that not every facility has the resources or expertise to offer cutting-edge care to expecting mothers — a problem that the Biobag won’t be able to solve. “We know there are already disparities after preterm birth. If you have access to high-level regionalized care your outcomes are often better than if you don’t,” she says.

“I’M STILL BLOWN AWAY, WHENEVER I’M DOWN LOOKING AT OUR LAMBS.”
And Rogers worries about how hype surrounding the Biobag could impact parents coping with preterm infants. “I think many people have been affected by preterm birth and they think this is going to be some magic bullet. And I think that prematurity is just really complicated.” Preventing it in the first place should be a top priority, she says, but the Biobag could help drive that research forward.

For Flake, the research continues. “I’m still blown away, whenever I’m down looking at our lambs,” he says. “I think it’s just an amazing thing to sit there and watch the fetus on this support acting like it normally acts in the womb... It’s a really awe-inspiring endeavor to be able to continue normal gestation outside of the mom.”

What car speed required to kill?

sakuraboo — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 21:26:54 +0800

Some people condemn the lady driver for killing 9 out 16 kids.

So let's take a look at the statistics and study data.

How much speed to kill?

[attachmentid=8500765]
https://www.aaafoundation.org/sites/default...RiskVsSpeed.pdf

According to the chart, to kill 56% of the kids, you need about 44mph = 70 kph..

Anyway, in housing areas speed limit is 35kph because mortality significantly rises above that speed.

In short, it doesn't take much speed to kill.
Driving at 90kph speed limit on main roads has a 95+% chance kill rate.

Private hospital reject

sakuraboo — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 13:00:07 +0800

Hi sifus of /k sekalian,

My cousin in law was rejected from five different private specialist centres from admitting the sick baby - cough and noisy breathing.

Last last, she relented and entered a university hospital.

But baby died few days later. Lung infection.

I think time finding another private specialist centre was part of the issues causing possible delayed treatment. She wanted the best for her baby so she wanted to go private.

So I just wonder why private reject her baby?

EDIT:
(Summary)

I've decided to summarise this issue for the sake of understanding the situation.
I've been approached by some real life friends for some clarity into the issue, but i have also included some forum replies into this summary.

Firstly, this is a one month old baby with noisy breathing and cough is likely to be ill.
Likely when the parents first approached the private hospital, they would have been referred to government because
1. They dont have the facilities
2. Because ill, likely to get worse - because if it finally died in university hospital, baby must have been ill - they dint want patients dying in private hospital.
3. Insurance rejected, but babies likely dont have insurance because young.
4. Dont accept cash paying patient only insurance because expensive.

However the parents sought another private center because they have been told there are no room.
1. Which I thought was a lie initially because the grandparents to the deceased said they called before hand and got room, but when arrive, no room. I thought the hospital lied because they didnt want to accept ill babies.
2. However, maybe they had no room - because they didnt have the type of room/facilities to treat this baby when they actually saw the baby condition.
3. The private hospital would have given an option for them to be sent by ambulance to the gomen hosp, but the fact that the parents did not take this option further strengthens the fact that the parents did not want to go gomen.

Anyway from what i can gather, the parents still sought another 4 private before they finally gave up and went to a university hospital instead.
1. They didnt quite catch what "no room" meant.
2. They just hate gomen hospital so much for whatever the reason.
3. They wanted the best - according to other family members.

Whatever it is, i believe there must be some kinda delay either due to the parents wanting private so much or from the start itself.

ps Also thank you /k for sharing and for those who gave their condolences.

Webe tethering

Anyone tried it yet?

Edit:

Sudden realisation: quite bodo this webe pipul charge for tethering if one of the huge discount (therefore knowledge of) is the fact that the user has tm/unifi at home.
