![]() ![]() Most of Boston Dynamics’ robotics research had been applied in the military until Google bought the Waltham, Massachusetts, company in 2013. ![]() Raibert unveiled the SpotMini plans at the University of California, Berkeley, during a TechCrunch conference focused on the rise of robotics and its potential to perform a wide range of tasks and jobs now handled by humans.įounded in 1992, Boston Dynamics rarely reveals its plans except by posting YouTube videos that have impressed and terrified people. No price has been set for the robot yet, though Raibert said making the latest prototype costs about one-tenth the price of earlier versions. SpotMini gets around with the help of cameras on its front, sides and one mounted on its rear - a position that Raibert calls the “butt-cam.”īoston Dynamics already has made 10 SpotMinis with plans to manufacture about 100 more for additional testing this year before going into mass production by the middle of next year, Raibert said. ![]() BERKELEY, California: A robotics company known for its widely shared videos of nimble, legged robots opening doors or walking through rough terrain is preparing to sell some after more than a quarter century of research.īoston Dynamics CEO Marc Raibert said Friday that his company plans to begin selling the dog-like SpotMini robot next year, likely to businesses for use as a camera-equipped security guard.īut he thinks other applications for the four-legged contraption will be likely developed by other companies, because the robot has a flat platform to allow other equipment with its own computer programming to be easily mounted on top of it. ![]()

![]() ![]() Timers work together to help the score pad keeper. On relays be sure to record each swimmer’s numbers as they enter and exit their part of the race. On the score pads record the team (our home pads are colored, home is white and the visitors is Yellow), swimmers(s) numbers, heat number, lane and event. The meets move fast and the time/recorder is very busy. If you have never timed before, you might not want to be the recorder. Please ask a runner to have someone deliver water. Please ask if water hasn’t come quickly enough. There will be water at the corner of the pool edges and there will also be water runners to bring you water. If you are thirsty or need a break, notify the RUNNER for your time sheets. Back-up timers get the beginning of each start of a race. If your watch mal-functions YELL for a BACK-UP TIMER. If you should miss the start of the race, call for a BACK-UP TIMER. You will eventually get synchronized with the other timers in your lane. If you have a fast time, you might be slow on the start, or if you have the longest time, your reaction at the finish might be delayed. The times on the lane timers should be within a tenth or so of each other. If you are in a visitor lane, you will have two Dolphin Timers and one visitor timer. If you are in a home lane you will have one Dolphin and two visitor timers. You will be in a lane with a total of three timers. That is the stroke judge’s responsibility. It is not the timer’s responsibility to make any call to appropriate type of touch to finish the race. You can step back from the edge of the pool to get the beginning time, but you must be at the edge of the pool to stop the time when hand or body contact is made at the edge of the pool for the finish of the race. ![]() You will need to be up to the edge of the pool to see the touch of the swimmer. Stop your watch as soon as you see any body part touch the wall. You will start your watch timing as soon as you hear the horn. Most often the starter will remind you to clear your watch before the next race begins however, it is a good idea to record the time, before clearing it. There is an opposite button to clear your watch. Your time watch has a start button and that same button will stop the time. If at anytime you are not confident with your timing and want to be relieved, please notify a runner who collects the time sheets and another replacement will be found. At any time while you are timing, please raise your hand if you are not ready or if you have malfunctions with your time watch, please call for a BACK-UP TIMER. Races are determined from the times that come from your watches. ![]() ![]() ![]() The model is often excessively verbose and overuses certain phrases, such as restating that it’s a language model trained by OpenAI.For example, given one phrasing of a question, the model can claim to not know the answer, but given a slight rephrase, can answer correctly. ChatGPT is sensitive to tweaks to the input phrasing or attempting the same prompt multiple times.Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth (2) training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows. ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.We performed several iterations of this process. Using these reward models, we can fine-tune the model using Proximal Policy Optimization. We randomly selected a model-written message, sampled several alternative completions, and had AI trainers rank them. To collect this data, we took conversations that AI trainers had with the chatbot. To create a reward model for reinforcement learning, we needed to collect comparison data, which consisted of two or more model responses ranked by quality. We mixed this new dialogue dataset with the InstructGPT dataset, which we transformed into a dialogue format. We gave the trainers access to model-written suggestions to help them compose their responses. ![]() We trained an initial model using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides-the user and an AI assistant. We trained this model using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using the same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup. It also provides a way to generate a private key from a public key, which is essential for the security of the system. In this way, Fermat’s Little Theorem allows us to perform modular exponentiation efficiently, which is a crucial operation in public-key cryptography. To decrypt the message, the recipient simply computes m = c b m o d n m = c^b \bmod n m = c b mod n, which (by Fermat’s Little Theorem) is equivalent to m = ( m a ) b m o d n = m ( a b ) m o d n = m 1 m o d n = m m o d n m = (m^a)^b \bmod n = m^(ab) \bmod n = m^1 \bmod n = m \bmod n m = ( m a ) b mod n = m ( ab ) mod n = m 1 mod n = m mod n. To encrypt a message with the user’s public key ( n, a ) (n, a) ( n, a ), we first convert the message into a number m m m (using some agreed-upon scheme), and then compute the encrypted message c c c as c = m a m o d n c = m^a \bmod n c = m a mod n. This means that when we multiply a a a and b b b together, the result is congruent to 1 1 1 modulo n n n. The user’s private key would be the pair ( n, b ) (n, b) ( n, b ), where b b b is the modular multiplicative inverse of a modulo n n n. The user’s public key would then be the pair ( n, a ) (n, a) ( n, a ), where aa is any integer not divisible by p p p or q q q. We might choose two large prime numbers, p p p and q q q, and then compute the product n = p q n = pq n = pq. For example, suppose we want to generate a public-key cryptography system for a user with the initials “ABC”. One way to generate these keys is to use prime numbers and Fermat’s Little Theorem. In a public-key cryptography system, each user has a pair of keys: a public key, which is widely known and can be used by anyone to encrypt a message intended for that user, and a private key, which is known only to the user and is used to decrypt messages that have been encrypted with the corresponding public key. One of the most common applications is in the generation of so-called “public-key” cryptography systems, which are used to securely transmit messages over the internet and other networks. ![]() Fermat’s Little Theorem is used in cryptography in several ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() While I’m typically much more comfortable in the cool color family (navy, deep hunter greens, etc), I’m really enjoying the warmer hues that complement my existing cool palette lately. Funny enough, last week I had my zodiac colors read at a party and my top color came back very similar to the darkest color in this room… kind of maroon. I wanted to paint it a color that gave it that same feeling all day long- whether light was streaming in, or not. Late afternoon and evening is when this room really shines and feels warm. Aside from having the best view in our house that overlooks the city and mountain landscape, it does have a tendency to feel cold and dark for the majority of the day, given the placement. It’s also tucked back into a dormer nook that sits atop our garage. This space only has one large window and it’s facing west. Speaking of paint- let’s chat color! I was really craving something warm, rich, and interesting in this room. I decided to forgo additional trim and work with the existing crown and base in this room. I didn’t want to add too much moulding, as I was planning to experiment with paint and line work in this space… adding too much millwork could have made this bedroom feel far too busy, so I decided to keep things simple. I did most of the heavy lifting for this one, while Emmett continues to work on the labor intensive entryway renovation. I hoped I could make everything feel cohesive as my design plan evolved. ![]() My plan was to knock this out on a budget and use things we already owned. It’s packed with vintage finds I’ve collected over the years (like the nightstands & my beloved blue lamp), a few pieces we purchased immediately upon moving in ( the bed and armless sofa), and even some things that came with us from our previous homes (the bench, demilune table, etc). You probably recognize most of the furniture and decor in this room. Our next guests will be Laurie Anne & her husband in a few weeks. This is our only guest bedroom with a king size bed, so it’s typically the one we offer couples who visit. ![]() My sister & brother-in-law visited a couple weeks ago and they were the first to enjoy this newly updated space. We’ve already had our first house guests stay in this room- with rave reviews, in terms of functionality. Aside from replacing the doors, carpet, and lighting, I think the paint treatment and styling really carries this space and makes it one of our more budget-friendly makeovers. It has certainly come a long way since these real estate listing photos, but I have to say- we didn’t do anything too crazy in here, in terms of costly renovations. Click through for the complete tour & sources! Step in and check it out…īefore we dive in, here are some highly pixelated reminders of what this space look liked when we first moved in… a shell of a room with gray carpet, weird corner shelves, and builder grade fixtures. I primarily used furniture & decor I already had, tackled this space on a tight budget in a relatively short time period, and I think it ended up packed with personality, layers, and cozy comforts. ![]() It’s located upstairs, just next to the guest bath, and I have to say… I’m really proud of how this one came together. I’m so excited to share our maroon (ish… it’s one of those chameleon colors) guest bedroom reveal with you today! It’s a space that has been evolving since we moved into our home– and it’s the guest room that gets the most use, probably because it’s the largest guest bedroom under our roof. ![]() ![]()

These days, a more enthusiastic crowd call themselves mobile image editors or iPhone-ographers can easily use Lightroom CC because it can be opened on the mobile platforms, which makes it quick to use.Professional photographers that have already been using Lightroom 6 can easily adapt to the latest update called the Lightroom Classic, as it has the same interface and everything.Because of almost similar names, one may think that the market will collide, but if we do some research as to what are the exact features of each and which software is supposed to be used when we may enjoy working with both of them. ![]() ![]() ![]() What's wrong? Why is it doing this? I'm not entirely well-versed in emulators/roms so please excuse me if there is some blatant, rookie mistake I am making.

Since the game is just in early access, I am sure that additional constructible structures and things will eventually arrive in the game which will further expand on the crafting aspect of the title. The building options are not too much at this point, but you can make your house, build various things for it and decorate it as well. Since you can swim but cannot collect resources in the water so you must move the water around and get them.Īpart from the utility, you can also use this to beautify your settlement as you can create pathways to your facilities by having a walkway between water. The land only offers a handful of resources and more rare resources are found underwater so you will need to displace water quite often to get your hands on those various resources underwater. You start off by making basic things such as tools to collect resources, a workbench, and more items that help you craft a fully working home for yourself with various facilities. You have huge chunks of land and vast water bodies to find and collect various resources. Right when you start the game, you are alone with another random NPC on the island who guides you on what you need to do next and as you complete missions, you are made aware of how the crystals work, what significance do ancient runes have, and how the Titans are connected to the world. Just water removing water, you can use specific crystals to call in water as well which allows you to remove and add water to your structures or buildings on command. As you continue to play the game, you notice that every world has huge Titans in it that affect the water levels massively so even if you are on an island, it will often get submerged in water as water levels continue to rise and fall.Īs you continue to craft and put down various items for your use, you will start making and putting down water crystals to help you manipulate water. Since you are on a bunch of islands, naturally there’s tons of water around you in the game. ![]() You literally get to play around with water as you use yellow crystals to displace water and move it around according to your will. What sets Breakwaters apart from the regular craft-and-survive titles is the amazing water design and mechanics. ![]() Apart from that, the game will generate a world for you on its own which you can enter and play either solo or with your friends. There is basic character creation at the start of the title, and you have the freedom to name your world as well. Breakwaters features a procedurally generated world which means that every time you start a game, it will feature a new world for you to explore. At its core, it is a crafting sim where you must craft various things in order to survive in the world, but the more focus of the title is on its story where you must investigate the various titans and their connection with the world of Breakwaters. At the time of publication of this review, Breakwaters is in a pretty stage of Early Access, so this review represents the current state of the title.īreakwaters is not particularly a survival sim because you did not crash on an island. This is our review of the Early Access release of Breakwaters in which we control water using yellow crystals and take on huge titans.
