Her spike jonze12/27/2023 ![]() Jonze, a fabulist whose sense of the absurd informs his more broadly comic endeavors (notably his work on the “Jackass” movies, including “Bad Grandpa”) and the straighter if still kinked art-house films he’s directed, like “Being John Malkovich” and “Adaptation.” If it has taken time for the depth of Mr. Before long, he and the software, which calls itself Samantha, are exchanging pleasantries, playing the roles of strangers fated to become lovers. Theodore learns about the operating system from an advertisement and is soon running it on his home computer and phone. The machines haven’t risen, as they have in dystopian tales like “The Terminator” series, but instead have been folded into everyday life. It’s set, somehow of course, in Los Angeles, that city of plastic fears and dreams, in an unspecified time in the future. The voice organizes his files, gets him out of the house and, unlike some multitasking females, doesn’t complain about juggling her many roles as his assistant, comfort, turn-on, helpmate and savior - which makes her an ideal companion even if she’s also just software.Īt once a brilliant conceptual gag and a deeply sincere romance, “Her” is the unlikely yet completely plausible love story about a man, who sometimes resembles a machine, and an operating system, who very much suggests a living woman. The voice brightly greets him in the morning and, with a sexy huskiness, bids him good night in the evening. For Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), the poetically melancholic hero in “Her,” Spike Jonze’s exquisite new movie, that voice (Scarlett Johansson) is a lifeline to the world, which he has loosened his hold on since separating from his wife. Fair warning though: "Her" is a bit unsettling and it will leave people extremely weirded out, but "Her" is downright arresting.She sounds like the girl next door - young, friendly, eager. Without a doubt was "12 Years a Slave" the big winner for best picture, but "Her" comes in at a close 2nd or 3rd for me. Everything from the melancholy tone, to the symbolic imagery, to the captivating and infectious narrative, "Her" was a huge surprise for me. It's a film crafted and paced so superbly, there seems to be no wrong note Jonze plays with this film. To put it in one word, the film as a whole is beautiful. There's no way these emotions would have been portrayed if Jonze didn't utilize the method that he inhabits with this flick. Emotions such as sadness, laughter, the sense of hope, the desire of love, and confusion are exceedingly palpable but not so much in a way that it's thrown in audiences faces - it gracefully settles in, making the movie not so much of a viewing but more of an experience. Without a doubt, "Her" is more of a quiet piece so you won't find much dialogue here ala "Lost in Translation", but Jonze doesn't impose this method in a swaggering way - he portrays it with perfection. His performance is a work of art.īut the biggest achievement that "Her" feats is the phenomenal narrative powered by a supercharged screenplay/directing on behalf of Spike Jonze himself. Now I've never seen Matthew's best acting performance in "Dallas Buyer's Club" to rightfully say whether his performance in that was any better than Phoenix's in "Her", but in no way should Phoenix be thrown in the back burner. I don't care about his past troubles this guy's talented. It works marvelously with its comedic but yet love/heartbreak themes.īut even though the cinematography was vibrant, boy, Joaquin Phoenix plays an absolutely magnetic and nuanced performance. Colors pop with soft textures throughout but tiptoed in with a subtle melancholy tone. Every single shot is a respectful homage to "Lost In Translation" with some "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and with a little Wes Anderson peppered in. Well, after being nearly 1 year late watching this movie, I could say, "Her" would sure as hell won for best cinematography if "Gravity" never fell on our laps. Quite possibly one of the greatest shot films ever crafted. Let's be real: "Gravity" was just unreal. Funnily, "Her" isn't much of a departure in comparison to Jonze's earlier work, but it is, without a doubt, his most captivating. They come off as too weird or too alienating for many ("Being John Malkovich" anyone?). Now as for starters, I am not a big fan of Spike Jonze's pictures.

David cuerdon portrait retouching toolkit12/27/2023 ![]() This study aims to document the nature and progression of spontaneous speech impairment suffered by patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) over a 12-month period, using both cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal design. In addition, although replicating some aspects such as anomia, of what is already known about the language impairments in these two conditions, the study provides novel findings for both that could help clinicians in syndromic classification of anomic speech. All speech samples were recorded during a face-to-face interview and were subjected to a well-controlled quantitative analysis.Outcomes & Results: Our results suggest that (a) the picture description task is more sensitive to abnormalities in the semantic measures, whereas the interviews are better at exposing morpho-syntactic deficits (b) circumlocution is not, as has sometimes been claimed, a salient feature of speech in SD (c) increases in the frequency of hesitation markers and of phonological and syntactic errors are prominent features of language decline in mild AD and (d) a 150-word interview sample is adequate to provide a realistic reflection of language impairment.Conclusions: This study compared, for the first time, the two most commonly used methods of eliciting connected speech and documented many similarities in results from the two but also some salient differences in their sensitivity to specific aspects of language deficit. Connected speech analysis provides the most realistic measure of language function but its use has been restricted by operational constraints.Aims: In this prospective study we assessed the relative utility of a picture description task and a semi-structured interview in exposing the language decline in semantic dementia (SD) and typical mild Alzheimer's disease (AD), compared to each other and to healthy volunteers.Methods & Procedures: Our cohort comprised 16 patients with a clinical diagnosis of SD, 20 with mild typical AD, and 30 healthy participants. Errors point to a breakdown in lexical semantic processing, which occurs earlier in the disease process than previously reported.īackground: Neurodegenerative syndromes are associated with varying degrees of language impairment. Performance on the latter task indicated that minimal AD patients and healthy controls could be differentiated on several measures of semantic processing. Although both pictures could differentiate between the AD patients and the healthy controls, results suggested that the complex task was most sensitive. The task assessed several aspects of spontaneous speech, including melodic line, articulation, grammatical form, phrase length, paraphasias, word-finding difficulties, error monitoring, information conveyed, and information content. Twenty-two AD patients (11 minimal and 11 mild) and 22 age- and education-matched healthy controls, were assessed on a simple and complex picture description task. ![]() Although distinctive patterns of language impairment have been identified in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients, few studies have been conducted to identify the errors that consistently differentiate minimal and mild AD patients from healthy elderly individuals. Turn off movie effects stacking12/27/2023 ![]() I'm fine with understanding the issue and working around it for now, but this clearly cannot stay the way it is long term. That cannot make sense to anyone, anywhere. I can cast infinite Ivywood piercers in a row and NEVER cause any poison damage. That can actually remove the effect that should have happened on that turn, poison for example. My problem is with overwriting the same effect. Not exactly life altering, but it should stack. It's totally reasonable for separate effects to stack, but to cause Stun, Confuse and Acc Down on a hero you would need a great card combination and luck, and even then it would only last for maybe one turn before one of the effects disappeared. This could work just as well for poison or burn or whatever else, and would at least mitigate the issue and be somewhat more logical. Thus, in my example above, I could hit with Moonbeam (2 turns 100% acc down) followed by a 4 turn accuracy down 20% card, and the final effect would be 100% for 2 turns and 20% for the next two turns. If not, and this is known, then what is the expected timeframe for a fix? At the very least, if you don't want stacking for effects that SHOULD logically stack (which actually reduces the effectiveness of many cards), then you should keep both effects but only allow the strongest one at each turn to do as intended. Is this as intended? If so, I think my examples above show a flawed logic in this, and it should be corrected. I can understand removing the stacking effects of chill and slow, since you are either slow or not, but for many other effects this doesn't make any sense. I don't know about you, but if I poison someone twice, I don't expect them to feel better. ![]() Or you can hit with a strong poison card followed by a weak one and poison less. This is insane, as you can poison someone 4 turns in a row with Ivywood and get no poison effect at all since it would keep replacing itself and never do the poison damage. Do poison effects stack, or does only the last poison effect count? The same problem exists as for accuracy down. This made me question other effects stacking as well. Both effects should exist separately, with their respective timers. Being double blinded doesn't mean that you should be able to hit more often. Worse than not stacking, only the last effect remains, so that means a 100% accuracy down from Moonbeam can be replaced by 20% accuracy down from many other cards if they hit after. It took me some time to figure out that accuracy down effects do not stack. I hit a monster with Moonbeam, and then in the following 2 turns the monster hit me. I noticed something yesterday that has me very confused. Arachnophilia html editor review12/27/2023 ![]() When FrontPage was first released, I (along with many other Web developers at the time) embraced it with open arms. Acquired from a company called Vermeer early in the Web development era, FrontPage was probably the first of the authoring packages that went beyond the text editor metaphor, allowing a semi-WYSIWYG environment. The first Web-authoring package many come across is Microsoft's FrontPage or its little brother FrontPage Xpress. While it shares the basic functionality of all the other WYSIWYG packages, there are a number of features included that could be well worth the $149 tag, such as an automatic CGI script generator and Web forms processor, plus ODBC and SQL server support for back-end databases.Īdding to the value is the inclusion of MGI Photosuite, the popular GIF animator application, as well as 50,000 pieces of Web clip art.ĭue to its recent release, it wasn't possible to fully road test Internet/Intranet Design Shop but, on the surface, if you are hunting around for a no-frills and inexpensive authoring tool with lots of value added, this could be the one.ĭistributor: Access International AustraliaPhone: (02) 9542 5581URL: Page Break And at first glance, it shows a lot of promise. This is a newcomer to the playing field that literally dropped on the desk as this article was being written. Providing great value for money, the publishers also bundle in some third-party "light" applications such as PhotoImpact. It's no lightweight, providing support for database publishing and DHTML as well as the easy implementation of media objects such as QuickTime and Flash. Using a combination of WYSIWYG and text editing - but not as refined as, say, Dreamweaver - HoTMetaL Pro is a very capable, budget-priced Web-authoring tool. HoTMetaL Pro (about $200) includes a number of tutorials, not only on basic HTML, but also on JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). But what if you haven't any idea of how to start? All the major packages come with thorough tutorials on the basics, but when you move past these, most of us have to hunt through Web-based examples and borrow - sorry, mimic - other people's code, and basically learn on the fly. However, if you crave absolute control over your code, Dreamweaver is the package for you, and is unsurpassed.Īt this point, it is assumed that you have some degree of expertise in Web authoring. ![]() If you never want to learn HTML, DHTML or XML, then Dreamweaver's features go beyond what you would need and one of the other WYSIWYG packages would suit better. Dreamweaver is almost Scrooge-ish in this department, with the code generated by the application's WYSIWYG generator being extremely tight. Many of the WYSIWYG packages suffer from "bloated" code. ![]() Site control in the latest version is a quantum leap over earlier incarnations of the package. It is especially strong, for example, if you wish to take advantage of the newer XML technology, and the package is closely integrated into Macromedia Fireworks, which is emerging as the Web graphics standard. Without question, Dreamweaver is an advanced Web authoring application and it has some features not seen in other mainstream packages. No matter how you enter an element (or code) into Dreamweaver, both of these windows are updated simultaneously. Macromedia recently released the latest version 3.0, which includes capabilities that allow you to either design a site in a page layout window or to enter the code manually into an editor. The good thing about the majority of Web authoring applications is that most of them are available as a free demo download, letting you try out each and see which suits you best. Picking the best editor for you will be a personal decision based on personal preferences. But don't overlook Arachnophilia, especially if the budget is a consideration. On the other hand, if you don't want the benefit of page layout capabilities whatsoever, then my picks would be HotDog Professional for top-notch capability, followed by CoffeeCup HTML at a budget level. If you want the best of both worlds - that is, to use both the WYSIWYG page layout features but also to hand code extensively - then Dreamweaver would be the product of choice. ![]() Its ease of use, especially when updating entire sites, is far better than its opposition. In this category, if you currently use a lot of Microsoft Office products, then Front0 will dovetail quite nicely into your existing application environment (although Drumbeat 2000 is a better product for creating Web sites that connect to Access 2000 databases).įor more free-form Web development and as an overall application, my personal favourite is NetObjects Fusion. If you are of the school that is more concerned about content quality and not necessarily fussed about the underlying code that creates it, then any of the WYSIWYG editors will fit the bill perfectly.

Luminar tech12/26/2023 Luminar ended June with a cash balance of $605 million. The macro-environment and volatile nature of pre-production orders aren't where investors should focus.Īs expected, Luminar is burning some $56.5 million in cash per quarter, but the company has a large cash balance to fund the business until auto OEMs launch production use of their Lidar sensors. This number is far more important than the Q3'22 guidance for revenue in the $8 to $10 million range. One should value the stock based on the $630 million increase in the order book, not the $40+ million in reported revenue this year. Luminar ended last year with an order book of $2.1 billion, suggesting a surge of $0.63 billion in new orders this year alone. Also, the company reported revenues reached $10 million in the quarter and 2022 revenue guidance was hiked to $40- $45 million from just $40 million. Most of the companies don't appear on a path to hit original grand revenue targets, but this doesn't mean that the current order book is flawed, or that Luminar will miss impressive current projections.Īlong with the Q2'22 earnings report, Luminar forecast the forward-looking order book was now set to grow 60% this year, up from prior expectations of 40% YoY growth. Surging Order Bookĭue to some questionable financials presented during SPAC mergers, the market wrongly questions the current backlog numbers of the Lidar sector. My investment thesis is more Bullish on Luminar as the order book surges and the company hints at needing production volumes next year. These stocks should trade more on the surging order books while investors should focus far less on current revenues. The case for Luminar Technologies ( NASDAQ: LAZR) and other Lidar sensor companies is becoming very clear. Dx ball free download chip12/25/2023 ![]() In many studies, they used the cutting tools with negative rake angles because the cutting edge strength can be increased and chipping is prevented. In the past decades, several studies have been carried out to achieve ductile-cutting of hard and brittle materials. However, in the mold machining process of the tungsten carbide, it is well-known as a difficult-to-cut material. Tungsten carbide alloy is widely utilized for mold and die processing, such as press working, die casting, and die forging, due to the material properties are superior to wear resistance and corrosion resistance. ![]() As a result, the chips could be generated at down to −75° of rake angles and the relationship between the negative rake angles and the chip generation mechanisms were clarified. Consequently, we designed an experimental setup with a spring constant force for applying simulation of thrust force of the PCD ball-end mill. In this study, to simulate the cutting mechanism of the PCD ball-end mill, an orthogonal cutting experiment was conducted using an ultrafine PCD cutting insert having nose radius similar to that of the PCD ball-end mill, for basically understanding the chip formation mechanism of the PCD ball-end mill. However, the mechanism of chip generation in this cutting with the PCD ball-end mills has not been fully clarified. In cutting using the PCD ball-end mills, flow type chips are observed and mirror finish surface without micro fracture can be realized by adopting the ductile-cutting mode. The rake angle varies depending on the depth of cut. The PCD ball-end mill has a distinctive feature of its cutting edge, which it has a simple spherical shape without sharp cutting edge found on conventional cemented carbide and cubic boron nitride (cBN) ball-end mills. Index Terms- 3-D printing, 5G, backhaul/fronthaul links, ball grid array (BGA), dielectric lens, millimeter-wave (mmw) antennas, organic module.A polycrystalline diamond (PCD) ball-end mill is effective for processing molds made of hard and brittle materials, such as cemented carbide and ceramics and having fine and complex shapes with a high aspect ratio. These results pave the way for future cost-effective, energy-efficient, high-data rate backhaul/fronthaul systems for 5G communications. Finally, active measurements demonstrated a >12 Gbps Tx/Rx link at 5 m with bit error rate (BER) < 10 −6 at 1.6 pJ/b/m. The antenna achieved a return loss better than −10 dB and a 28 dBi realized gain from 114 to 140 GHz. ![]() A plastic elliptical lens 40 mm in diameter and 42.3 mm in height was placed on top of the BGA module. This achieved a 7.8 dBi realized gain, broadside polarization purity above 20 dB, and over 55% total efficiency from 110 to 140 GHz (20% bandwidth). Accordingly, a 2 × 2 array of aperture-coupled patch antennas was designed in the 7 × 7 × 0.362 mm 3 BGA module as the feed antenna of the lens. The antenna system must be compact and cost effective while delivering an approximately 30 dBi gain in the working band, defined as 120 to 140 GHz. The main design goal was the full integration of a small footprint antenna with an energy-efficient transceiver. In this paper, we propose a ball grid array (BGA) module with an integrated 3-D-printed plastic lens antenna for application in a dedicated 130 GHz OOK transceiver that targets the area of 5G backhaul/fronthaul systems.
