![]() ![]() Sound absorption became particularly important in conference rooms, where speech intelligibility is a critical factor for remote meeting attendees. ![]() We chose acoustic systems made from felt and shredded wood fibers-both highly sustainable materials-that help create a natural, calming environment even when everyone is on Zoom. Now, the frequency of remote meetings with multiple voices overlapping on different calls has only heightened the importance of absorptive surfaces in open offices. (Dave Burk © SOM)Įven before the COVID-19 pandemic, we had explored innovative acoustic strategies to create soft and tranquil work environments. The result is a smart system that automatically reacts to the sun’s movement across the sky-minimizing artificial light and maximizing natural light.Īcoustic strategies implemented throughout allow for a tranquil workspace. In line with our goal of radical reduction, we utilized automated controls from Lutron to constantly adjust light levels and shade positions. Making natural light the “protagonist” in our space required careful selection of lighting and shading systems to manage daylight. Open work areas were prioritized where daylight was strongest, and all enclosed offices and conference rooms were pushed deeper inside the floorplate. and New York offices, natural light was the driving force in the planning process. The entrance of natural light was important. In designing our new offices, a few critical drivers of change have emerged: an emphasis on health and wellness, specifically through lighting and acoustics a diversity of spaces reflecting the more fluid nature of today’s workday and healthy, innovative, low-carbon spaces that drastically reduce our environmental impact. Through an approach we call “radical reduction,” we have recast our workplaces to support our staff, to harness the value of in-office work, and to minimize our carbon footprint. Over the past few years, we have designed new offices or major renovations for almost all of our worldwide locations. At SOM, we have taken the initiative to re-examine long-held beliefs about what the office looks like.

TUSK Search also prioritizes security by requiring sites to use HTTPS encryption for connections when available. The tool is designed to provide responses tailored to conservative viewpoints and values. The Gippr AI integration allows users to ask questions and engage in natural conversation to find answers and access recommendations. The addition of Gippr AI chatbot further empowers users to refine and customize their search experience based on their preferences. ![]() No content is ever suppressed or shadowbanned on the platform, giving users more transparent and balanced information. A recent Forbes report highlighted links between popular AI tools such as ChatGPT and a left-leaning slant in responses, mirroring long-running claims of bias at major tech firms.Ī key feature of TUSK Search is its option for users to select a Left, Center, or Right filter to pre-screen search results. TUSK Search was created as an alternative to dominant search engines like Google and Bing which have faced accusations of liberal bias in search results and content moderation policies. By using the Gippr chatbot as part of their online search experience, users can challenge liberal points of view with fact-based arguments, supported by the power of AI. ![]() The TUSK creators explain that one of their reasons behind the update is to provide users with a safe space to express their views. The company champions free speech and provides users with modified chatbot technology that specifically promotes conservative values rather than restricting them.

This sums up exactly what happened yesterday at Moonsworth HQ Some people couldn't launch and crashed, others couldn't join servers nor see cosmetics…it was a lot. ![]() Unfortunately, these "fires" were not contained and spread to other parts of the client, which made fixing them that much more complicated. When we initially released, and tens of thousands of people got on these servers, everything caught on fire. To put it simply, the launcher is a lot more complex than before and requires new backend servers to handle the infrastructure and new features we added. ![]() This weekend's release was far from perfect, and the issues we faced were not at all anticipated. I'll dive deeper into the specifics of these fantastic new features later in this post, but first, let's talk about the issues we ran into. It comes packed with new features, including Microsoft authentication, friends integration, a completely revamped and stylish user interface, and many other exciting additions. Lunar can't be built from this repo as the source code for the paid features is hidden.Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce the release of the brand new Lunar Client Launcher, version 3.0! This new version is a complete overhaul of our old launcher - we completely rewrote the backend and frontend from the ground up. I'm pausing contributions for the moment as Lunar has paid features and isn't compilable because of missing parts of the source code (Pro features code is encrypted).
12/31/2023 0 Comments Soundcore boomSo, for a party speaker, or outdoors, or at the pool, the Motion Boom is a great choice. The Motion Boom performs like you would expect from a boombox - lots of bass, with more emphasis on punchy bass than authentic sound. So, depending on your needs, it should be easy to decide which speaker is right for you. ![]() The performance of each speaker is different, with each excelling in some areas and struggling somewhat in other areas. Some people say “great sound quality for the price,” but I would just say “great sound quality, period.” See here for our side-by-side comparison that includes these newer models.įirst, it should be pointed out that sound quality is very impressive on both the Motion Boom and Motion+. ![]() Soundcore has recently released updated models, the Motion X600 and Motion Boom Plus - both of which are excellent upgrades from the Motion Boom and Motion+. And you can also use the Motion Boom to charge a cell phone or other device.Īmong portable waterproof speakers in the sub-$150 price range, both the Motion Boom & Motion+ rate as excellent. The battery life on Motion Boom is marketed as 24 hours, which is exceptional, but it tests even better than 24 hours. Motion+ provides less bass and doesn’t fill a room as well, but the clarity in the mid- and high-ranges is hard to beat. Motion Boom provides stronger bass and more volume, and is a great party speaker. These are all locked behind a very thick rubber door, giving the speaker IP67 water resistance, so no need to worry about it falling into the pool.Both the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom & Anker Soundcore Motion+ are excellent bluetooth speakers that outperform their price tag. There’s a line-in socket too, so you don’t even have to use Bluetooth. You can use that battery to charge your phone as well, which is helpful for when you don’t have a plug nearby. It won’t replace your Soundbar, but it’s great for when you want to listen to some songs in your bedroom, when you’re at barbeques, or even when you’re in the outback.īattery life is good at 20 hours, although that will drop if you plan on maxing the volume all the time. Pressing that bass button does make it a better listen for the home as well, making it perfect for listening both home and away. It’s got detail where it counts, and bass for days. Don’t expect delicacy here, but you’ll easily have a great time pumping out Lil’ Nas X’s Industry Baby at full whack. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not HiFi quality, but it’s big, beefy, with plenty of punch across the range. The sound that goes very, very loud is also pretty good. There’s a total of 80w of output here, with a pair of 10w tweeters surrounded by two 30w woofers. It’s loud because there’s some impressive power to the drivers. It might not be concert big, but it’ll power your party in the woods without any issues at all. There’s a total of 80w of output here, with a pair of 10w tweeters surrounded by two 30w woofers for some seriously impressive volume. The decibel meter on my iPhone went haywire when I tried to find out, and my ears screamed at me to turn it down. If you’re mad.īecause this speaker goes LOUD. There are volume controls, a Bluetooth button, another button to control the bass output (which is fun), and then a button that lets you connect two of them together. ![]() Those rubbery controls work very well, and they’re nice and big so that you can hit them with gloved hands. So no Lou Reed while you do your extreme sports. ![]() Maybe not extended periods during some whitewater rapid kayaking, however. It feels sturdy in all the right places too, with the rubbery buttons making you think it could survive a dip in a stream or a large pond. It might not be refined – this is still a monster outdoorsy rugged speaker, but it looks a lot less ‘in your face’ than you might expect. Let's get one thing out of the way first: I think, for an outdoorsy rugged speaker, it looks fairly restrained. 12/31/2023 0 Comments PyCharm free downloadsTo download price history into one table: import yfinance as yf data = yf.

Finance's API *** IMPORTANT LEGAL DISCLAIMER *** One can easily embed a ball of any radius into a cylinder of any other radius by a volume-preserving transformation: just picture squeezing the ball into the cylinder (hence, the name non-squeezing theorem). One easy consequence of a transformation being symplectic is that it preserves volume. The theorem is important because formerly very little was known about the geometry behind symplectic maps. The theorem states that one cannot embed a ball into a cylinder via a symplectic map unless the radius of the ball is less than or equal to the radius of the cylinder. ![]() It was first proven in 1985 by Mikhail Gromov. The non-squeezing theorem, also called Gromov's non-squeezing theorem, is one of the most important theorems in symplectic geometry.

If you read the Proverb in terms of using your kind acts to make your enemy feel bad about his own behaviour towards you, then it sounds more like low-level revenge than kindness! So how do we reconcile these two ideas? I’ve sometimes wondered how we reconcile Jesus’ New Testament command to love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48, Luke 6:27-36) with the Proverb “heap burning coals on your enemies head” (Proverbs 25:21-22).

They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. "Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master." If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there you must help him with it. If you encounter your enemy's stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head." On the contrary, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him if he is thirsty, give him a drink.
