1/9/2024 0 Comments Utc global clockThere are also different algorithms on the smearing itself. For example, some companies begin smearing at 12:00:00 UTC the day before and throughout 24 hours some do so two hours before the event, and others right at the edge. The starting point at 00:00:00 UTC is also not standardized, and there are many possible options. If the smearing steps are too big, NTP clients may consider some devices faulty and exclude them from quorum, which may lead to an outage. To ensure that the difference between them is tolerable, the steps must be minimal. We chose a 17-hour duration primarily because smearing is happening on Stratum 2, where hundreds of NTP servers perform smearing at the same time. There is no universal way to do this, but at Meta we smear the leap second throughout 17 hours, starting at 00:00:00 UTC based on the time zone data (tzdata) package content. More recently, it has become a common practice to “smear” a leap second by simply slowing down or speeding up the clock. In any case, every leap second is a major source of pain for people who manage hardware infrastructures. The impact of a negative leap second has never been tested on a large scale it could have a devastating effect on the software relying on timers or schedulers. With the Earth’s rotation pattern changing, it’s very likely that we will get a negative leap second at some point in the future. ![]() In the early days, this was done by simply adding an extra second, resulting in an unusual timestamp:Īt best, such a time jump crashed programs or even corrupted data, due to weird timestamps in the data storage. So far, only positive leap seconds have been added. To visualize angular velocity change, think of a spinning figure skater. As soon as the skater tucks their arms back in the angular velocity increases. As they spread their arms the angular velocity decreases, preserving the skater’s momentum. ![]() This phenomenon can be simply visualized by thinking about a spinning figure skater, who manages angular velocity by controlling their arms and hands. One of many contributing factors to irregularities in the Earth’s rotation is the constant melting and refreezing of ice caps on the world’s tallest mountains. Introducing new leap seconds is a risky practice that does more harm than good, and we believe it is time to introduce new technologies to replace it. While the leap second might have been an acceptable solution in 1972, when it made both the scientific community and the telecom industry happy, these days UTC is equally bad for both digital applications and scientists, who often choose TAI or UT1 instead.Īt Meta, we’re supporting an industry effort to stop future introductions of leap seconds and stay at a current level of 27. If there were no UTC correction, then adjustments would have to be made to the legacy equipment and software that synchronize to UTC for astronomical observations.Īs of today, since the introduction of the leap second, UTC has been updated 27 times. ![]() This periodic adjustment mainly benefits scientists and astronomers as it allows them to observe celestial bodies using UTC for most purposes. The leap second concept was first introduced in 1972 by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) in an attempt to periodically update Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) due to imprecise observed solar time ( UT1 ) and the long-term slowdown in the Earth’s rotation.

1/9/2024 0 Comments Make a video diary online![]() Sometimes diary entries can be very descriptive, just mentioning a dominant emotion or any particular event in a few words can help in knowing what is a whole entry is about. The format of the date should be similar to avoid confusion. Including a date just on the corner of the page is enough. Dating the entries will give you a clear picture of the time during that event. In our busy lives, we hardly remember how the time slips. It also helps to keep a track of events and when they happened. Writing a diary with a date helps one remember the event and the time of the event. Sometimes while writing a diary we tend to find a solution as we reflect upon ourselves while writing the problem down. By writing them down we realize that it is not as big a problem as we cooked it in our head. We tend to overthink everything and make our problems bigger than they seem to be. ![]() This helps in not missing out on important details in daily life. Some people write a diary as maintaining a journal where they record all the events chronologically to revisit them for any purpose. Sometimes reading a diary just makes you laugh or live memories which you had nearly forgotten. Diary serves as a friend in need where we can express anything and in any way without any fear of any judgment or miscommunication because it is you who has access to it.ĭiary lets you recall the good or bad memories you had and lets you realize how much you have grown or what mistakes you did in the past. Sometimes we can’t find a friend or anyone to confide our deepest feelings. As long as you are enjoying the writing process, it will be much easier for you to write in your diary every day. You will only be able to focus on writing when you are comfortable. It is normal if you do not feel like writing in your diary every day. Moreover, the primary aim of the diary is to share your thoughts and feelings honestly and open up as if it is your friend. ![]() If you don’t want to give it a name you can start with “Dear Diary” and move in the right direction. Since it is your diary, you can give it any name you like. Some people like to give names to their diaries, which makes them feel as if they are talking to a friend. ![]() If you keep a track of the date of every diary entry, you can look back at your progress and see how much you have written. The date is an important part of every diary entry. You can decide how much you want to write and the time you want to spend while writing. Moreover, you should also set a time limit for your diary. You can pick up a specific day or time to write in your diary. Making a schedule will help you get used to writing in your journal. When you start a diary, you will have to write more frequently in it, although it is entirely up to you to decide how often you will write in your diary. Usually, diaries are for personal thoughts and experiences but they can be an excellent way to keep a track of your daily events. But if you want your diary entries to be specific, you should decide what you want to write in them. You can use a diary to write several things, be it an experience or your feelings. Here are some steps for how you can start writing in your diary: Before you start writing, you should know what is the right format for diary writing. Getting started with diary writing can be difficult, especially when you are not habitual of writing. I think I should get out more often to refresh my head. It felt nice getting out after a long week. I gave Meghna a beautiful dress which she liked and wore to the party. I am looking forward to seeing her at a cafe we decided to meet this upcoming Friday. We both are Potterheads and I loved it, although she comes across as talkative, I like her. Her name is Rucha and we connected based on Harry Potter. I got to meet many of her friends and one of them became a little close to me. It was a beautiful place to have a birthday party and she threw a lavish party. It was Meghna’s birthday and we went to Leela together. 1/9/2024 0 Comments Artistic filters for photos“But when I am on my mobile I want the result now. “It took about 10 minutes or even one hour,” he says. The problem was it was “very, very slow”. The original idea for the app came after Moiseenkov saw a similar algorithm online that could process photos in the style of artworks. ![]() So deep learning is like an artist, something like that.” ![]() So there is no photo, we took your photo, then perform some operations and give a new photo to you. “We’re not just overlaying like an Instagram filter. Neural networks are necessary here because Prisma’s art filters are not actually filters, says Moiseenkov, but rather the imagery is being created from a blank canvas - using the two data inputs to generate a final image. It’s based on something like extract the style from the artwork and apply to the photo and some tricks to speed up the process.” “On the server we have something like three neural networks for today. In terms of the core tech, Moiseenkov says the team is using neural network/deep learning algorithms to process the photos. We only store for result for some time because if the network is very bad we want to reconnect and give the result to the phone,” he says. We don’t know who sent photos, we don’t know the photo itself because it’s in a non-readable format for us. But Moiseenkov notes they are not retaining or parsing users’ original photos. Albeit if they continue to scale up their user-base they’ll need to beef up their servers to keep up.Īll processing is done in the cloud on the team’s servers, rather than on the device. And the processing time was almost always never more than a few seconds. Most of the time the processed imagery comes back looking impressively pro. But in my experience testing the app it rarely returned a result that looked like an artwork gone wrong (darker lighting conditions did sometimes confuse some of the filters). Results will vary depending on your subject matter and lighting conditions, of course, with certain filters producing better results than others for each shot. Here’s an example of how some of the filter effects look applied to the same photo… Which may not scale so well once there are 40 options in the app. Although it can also be very addictive as you end up trying more and more filters on the same photo just to see what they’re going to look like. While you can’t see the real-time effect of a Prisma filter, given you have to wait a short while for each shot to be processed, it’s quick enough that it does not feel arduous. But Prisma is very much in the honeymoon phrase right now. Novelty, after all, can lose its sheen of exciting newness almost as quickly as it grabbed people’s attention in the first place. The aim, presumably, is to try to avoid its stylized looks feeling stale. “After a month we will have about 40 styles,” he says. ![]() More filter options are being added all the time, with Moiseenkov saying the intention is to add two more per day at this point. Prisma is offering around 20 art filters inside the app at this point, with some of the art/graphical starting points including The Scream by Edvard Munch, Go for Baroque by Roy Lichtenstein, a DC comic graphic plus abstract artworks like Transverse Line by Wassily Kandinsky. And it was like in a boom! And after this day the hashtag was ours.” “For one day, the first day of launch, we create about 30,000 photos in Instagram. I don’t know how they find our hashtag - it’s magic I think,” jokes Moiseenkov. “A lot of people share photos with a hashtag. ![]() A pull that Prisma has evidently been able to tap into by offering a fresh set of filters for the hungry Insta-hoards. Prisma-using Instagram users have apparently been badging their art filtered shots with a #Prisma hashtag. The size of Instagram’s network is obviously creating a massive pull for fresh content. Indeed, some 95 million photos and videos are shared on the platform on the average day. So that’s a whole lot of selfies, outfits, lunches and cute pet shots being shared on Instagram day to day. The key to this early growth is clearly the app’s prominently placed social share function, which prompts users to post to Instagram as soon as they receive their processed shot.Īnd just this week the Facebook-owned photo-sharing behemoth revealed it had more than doubled its monthly active users over the past two years - reaching a whopping 500 million MAUs. Prisma was launched only last week but has already garnered some 1.6 million downloads, CEO and co-founder Alexey Moiseenkov tells TechCrunch, on the phone from Moscow where the team is currently based.

Of it - will use the kit one which isn't all that different.The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") was a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Had to add a helper piece of scrap to support the bottom wing to rear fuse fit because of the cut off kit flaps,Ĭut off the rudder to use the resin one =- alas it is too short and leaves a huge gap at the bottom Just the one update pic, got the fuselage and wings on tonight, nice fit there gaps non existent, ![]() Made a simple mount for the 37mm, the pod isn't correct but will do, good thing is the Mk103 cannon support ring fits perfect around the barrel and looks quite good fitted. Used MM burnt iron non buffing paint on the exhaust ring, (pic is a bit dark) will play around with the finish next time I work on it. Whatever part you add, each one presents another fit prob.Īs it is now, the pit fits in, and the fuse closes up with a lot of squeezing together - just. Resin seat/armor plate, lots of cutting,filing to get it to here.īroke the damned thing twice at the back, when fitted the fuse closes over it so it can't be seen Here's an update on this one - Pe parts for the pit are terrible, fit is almost impossible, Iv'e used a mix of Pe and resin parts to get to here. I think this bird will look pretty bitchin' with that 37 mm cannon poking out in front! One very annoying thing with the Verlinden set is the elevators are identical with the actuators the same way up so you have one on top and one one the bottom. I may just use the kit rudder posed to one side, it's easily scored to do this, the resin part isn't much better Thanks to a friend on another forum who supplied me with brilliant ref pics and diagrams I fixed the engine mounting to look respectable, proggry so far cut flaps elevators and radio box and dry fitted the parts. Well at least all the pushrods and curved exhaust piping is done P 5 will not fit inside P 18 attached to P 11 nor will it reach P 11 from the inside. You can see where the 3 red dots are, where they join to the cylinders corectly, If you do this, P5 to P 11, when you go to attach the exhaust ring - the exhaust tubes that fit onto the cylinders do not So we follow the instructions on the engine - part 11 to 14 - part 5 to part 11 - good thing I used blu tack for part 5 ! With these in place, glued the back plate on, this allows me to remove and replace the prop at any time, the poly cap holds the prop in and spins very free. To keep the poly cap from moving away from the prop shaft i cut a piece of round scrap spue and fitted it into the larger hole behind the poly cap. You can see the two different hole diameters I devised a way to make this rotate, first glued the engine front on for a drilling guide, drilled through so the prop shaft fitted in, then drilled back the opposite side with a larger drill bit to accommodate Hasegawa's poly cap. Using Master Model barrels, and I have started the engine, the Verlinden set also has all control surfaces and flaps so will be cutting the kit ones off and posing the resin replacements.Īs you know I hate non rotating props with a passion - the resin set gives a solid engine without prop shaft holes. I need to check what makings this aircraft had but like the blue spinner spirals and blue letters so may go with those. I'm doing a variant that was fitted with the 37mm cannon While doing my F4 J which was annoying me I pulled this one out and committed to it 1/9/2024 0 Comments Nier replicant black scrawlEach location in Replicant is a small-sized open location for you to explore. The main protagonist’s village is where most of the story quests come from. Even a whole ending is tied to how many quests you manage to complete. Though most of these quests can be quite boring to get through, some of them will net you great rewards such as new weapons and items that grant access to new locations. Find a specific item or kill a certain enemy and return and report your success to the quest giver. Unfortunately, most of these are fetch quests. There are a lot of side-quests to tackle. Some humans have built shelters and live in various towns, and it’s these towns where you have to gather information on how to cure the Black Scrawl while taking care of the townsfolk’s needs. The world of NeiR is a post-apocalyptic one and humanity is on its last legs. You can’t switch between any of the allies you come across but there are sections in the game where you get to play as them for story purposes. Weiss takes centre stage in the story and is the key to curing the Black Scrawl. Last but not least, there is Grimoire Weiss: a magical talking book. Emil: A little boy who can turn organic material into stone by looking at it. Kanie: a foul-mouthed monster killing machine who herself is infected with the Black Scrawl. Our main protagonist isn’t alone on his journey and comes across some allies that join him on his quest. Much like Automata after it, players are in for some blows that leave them with gut-wrenching decisions to make that don’t have a positive resolution and that includes the game’s multiple endings. ![]() It was a story of love, happiness, and loss.

1/8/2024 0 Comments The hand of fateThe music fits the overall feeling of Hand of Fate 2 with its fantasy theme while also creating excellent ambience that doesn’t intrude over the story. The world design covers many biomes from snowy mountains, old ruins, forests and sprawling towns, providing depth to its settings Music / Sound Design One of the enemy types are corrupted humans who look like mutated figures with growths over them, while another is a more monstrous vampiric form called a Shade. The art design of the game embraces its dark fantasy motif, especially at the table where the majority of the game takes place. Most of these tales are told by text which if you want, you can button mash through with little to no change to the results, however you’d just miss out on the expansive world building. These are in addition to the story encounters where you have to make peace with a northern barbarian queen by climbing a blizzard torn mountain or discover who the assassin is that’s going to betray a leader of a criminal group by uncovering information about each suspect. You complete some fun stories like encountering a goblin who runs through a portal or entering an arm wrestling tournament. The story is where this game really shines as you fight your way through its unique challenges. The arenas will change where the chapter is based to match snowy mountains or luscious green forests. These aspects are transferred over in one way or another to the challenge of the level, while still telling a connecting story.Ĭombat is based in an arena with simple hack and slash mechanics and prompts to block and dodge attacks.

The combat is fairly simple in technique but get cocky or overwhelmed and your run will end very quickly, which can be exasperated by the random encounter cards. ![]() During some of the encounter cards you may have to play a game of chance which can be rolling dice to hit a certain number, picking the correct card after being shuffled or stopping a pendulum in the correct spot. Some of these cards have tokens or shards of tokens which mean they give you a challenge to complete in order to get more cards to use, usually upgrades to your current ones. You start off with a very limited amount of cards to place into your different decks for encounters and equipment but as you complete more encounters and challenges, you receive more cards to use. Hand of Fate 2 has the majority of the game time spent reading encounters in a similar experience to that of Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop roleplaying games. 1/8/2024 0 Comments Webook maker discord![]() It is technically possible to run a bot inside of a regular user account with little modification, but this is forbidden by Discord’s terms of service.
