In reality, an illithid's mouth was more like that of a lamprey, with a circular, jawless orifice ringed by several rows of small, rasping teeth. In many apocryphal descriptions and diagrams, mind flayers were portrayed as having beaked mouths, possibly owing to their octopus-like heads. They were also incredibly dexterous, powerful, and could be fully controlled by the mind flayer to perform both fine and strength-based tasks. They writhed and undulated almost constantly and absent-mindedly while the illithid pondered or otherwise was not using them, and flexed in anticipation when sentient beings drew close. The tentacles could range in length from 2 to 4 feet (0.61 to 1.2 meters), appearing shorter when an illithid was at rest. Īn illithid's bulging, ridged, elongated head was reminiscent of an octopus, with a cluster of four flexible, unsegmented, extendable, purplish-black tentacles surrounding their mouths. Mind flayers that were healthy from brain-rich diets excreted a thin film of slimy, glistening mucus that kept in moisture and gave off a faint odor similar to onions, garlic, or even vanilla, although the smell was imperceptible from afar. Their skin ranged from mauve to greenish-violet in color. An illithid's flesh, was soft, supple, moist, and rubbery, resulting in an unmistakable texture easily distinguishable from any other creature by anyone familiar with it. A mind flayer's body was, in fact, a gruesome mockery of the humanoid form. ![]() In terms of height, weight, and build, mind flayers were roughly comparable to thin humans, but it was at this point that any external comparison to humanoids ended. 9.3.8 Organized Play & Licensed Adventures.

11/10/2023 0 Comments Denoise ai vs lightroom![]() It is very positive to see that Lightroom continues to be improved on a regular basis. List of lenses supported by Lightroom Resumée List of cameras supported by Lightroom You can find a list of supported cameras and lenses directly at Adobe: The new version also supports new camera and lens models. A deactivated panel is marked by a crossed-out eye symbol. To deactivate it permanently or to reactivate it, the ALT key must now also be pressed in Windows. If you click on a light eye symbol with the mouse, the corresponding edit is temporarily hidden. On the left of the individual editing panels, an eye symbol now shows whether edits have been made there (bright) or not (dark). The red dot below the repair icon here indicates that an AI generated repair needs to be updated again. In the above example, the dots below the edit icons indicate that the image has been edited, repaired and masked. The automatic masking of persons, which identifies persons in the image via AI, can now also detect and mask facial hair (beards) and clothes: ![]() More features of version 12.3īesides the significantly improved noise reduction, the new version 12.3 of Lightroom Classic includes several other improvements: Masking Fortunately, however, both do fine with the DNG files from my DJI Mini 3 Pro drone. I checked this, for example, with the DNG files from my iPhone 12Pro - these are not supported for AI-based noise reduction by either program. For special, very critical cases, I still have DeepPRIME available as an alternative.īy the way, the new Lightroom AI algorithm shares another peculiarity with DxO’s DeepPRIME: it does not work with every RAW file supported by Lightroom. In many cases now, I will certainly use the Lightroom function directly, which naturally integrates more smoothly into my usual workflow. Since I already own DeepPRIME in PhotoLab 6, the question does not arise for me. Whether this difference is enough to buy another expensive program and interrupt the workflow each time for denoising with a DxO Lightroom plugin is something everyone must decide for himself. However, the difference is astonishingly small overall. On closer inspection, DeepPRIME XD does bring out a bit more detail, at least when viewed at 200% magnification. This is apparently necessary as the complex calculations of the AI are very time-consuming and therefore cannot be done on the fly like the other processing steps on the RAW file.Īs a big fan of DxO’s DeepPRIME algorithms so far, I naturally compared Lightroom’s new built-in AI denoising to them: Comparison of AI denoising in Lightroom (left) with DeepPRIME XD (right), 200% crop. When denoising, by the way, Lightroomn creates a new linear DNG file just like DxO DeepPRIME, which unfortunately has about the same size (about 220-240 megabytes on my R5). I didn’t measure the actual time required, though, because I didn’t had enough patience. ![]() With my laptop’s built-in Intel processor graphics, Lightroom estimated a whopping 25 minutes! for the process. However, if a powerful graphics card isn’t available, AI denoising in Lightroom becomes an enormous test of patience. On my laptop with i9 11980HK, 64GB RAM, and GeForce RTX 3080 with 8GB GDDR6 SDRAM, processing a 45-megapixel image from my Canon EOS R5 takes about 25 seconds. The result is quite respectable, isn’t it? Comparison of denoising in Lightroom without (left) and with AI (right), 200% crop.Īs with the other programs, the AI routines in Lightroom Classic need plenty of processing power from the graphics card. Here’s you can see a comparison of the new AI-based process (right) with the normal Lightroom denoising (left). Thus it is in principle a shot at ISO 25,600! It was taken at ISO 12,800 and was still underexposed by about one stop, because I limited the Auto-ISO range of my Canon EOS R5 between 100 and 12,800. The picture is a real stress test for denoising. I used the photo of our tomcat Tom again for this test, which I had already used for the test of DeepPRIME XP in PhotoLab 6. The result is updated accordingly in the detail-view on the left. ![]() With the slider in the upper right corner you can select the amount of denoising. The magnifying glass in the lower right corner of the preview image switches between a full image and a cropped view. The selection can be moved with the mouse. On the left, you can see a crop of the image enlarged to about 250%. 11/10/2023 0 Comments Julius sumner miller young![]() Miller also sometimes angered his colleagues because he charged that most faculty were not rigid enough and that students were not learning enough. ![]() Miller taught for a time at UCLA but opted for the then small junior college that was El Camino in 1952 because he did not want to be in a big, remote institution.Ĭolleagues recall that Miller could be a terror in the classroom, intolerant of misspelled words or misplaced punctuation. Miller amassed a collection of Einstein memorabilia that included a copy of Einstein’s birth certificate. The most important intellectual association of his life was formed in 1950, when he went to the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, N.J., and became a student and friend of Albert Einstein, his idol. Army Signal Corps civilian physicist during World War II, held fellowships in physics at the universities of Idaho and Oklahoma and was a Ford Foundation Fellow at UCLA. He wrote 700 letters before he landed his first teaching job, at a private school in Connecticut. It was the Depression and, failing to land a teaching job, he and the woman who was to become his wife of 52 years became butler and maid for a wealthy Boston doctor, earning $30 a month. He left Boston University with degrees in philosophy and theoretical physics. He had some of his greatest successes in Australia, which he visited more than 20 times, lecturing to large audiences, doing television and even posing for splashy Cadbury chocolate ads.īorn in Billerica, Mass., Miller grew up in a hard-working farming family and once said he learned the rigors of precise, disciplined thinking from his teachers and his mother, whom he described as “a Lithuanian peasant who spoke 12 languages.” By the time he was 16, Miller said, he had “read the (town) library dry.” ![]() He also appeared on television with such late-night stars as Steve Allen and Johnny Carson, wrote eight books and published more than 300 papers in professional journals.Īctive around the world even after his official retirement at age 65, Miller gave thousands of lectures inside and outside the classroom and made hundreds of television appearances. Watch the clip below, and follow Julius Sumner Miller online on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.Dressed in a dark coat and open-collared white shirt, Miller made 40 appearances on Walt Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Club” and also did a children’s record series for Disney on history’s great scientists. There’s trickery here: he does a full body burn for almost 30 seconds with help from Academy Award Nominee, Guinness World Record Breaking, Fire Stunt Specialist, Colin Decker… adding legit fuel (and flames) to this fiery track. Ollinger does Miller one better in the clip for ‘Leave The Key’, and as he performs, he is actually on fire. The group’s namesake Professor Julius Sumner Miller was well known for practical demonstrations of eye-catching physical phenomena, and an image of the man himself features on the cover art for ‘Try It Out’. While the album sounds familiar, it’s far from a throwback, with Ollinger’s lyrics and irreverent perspective enough by themselves to keep the songs fresh. The raw roughness of ‘Try It Out’ comes from the fact that the band cut the record in a four-day burst of explosive energy in world renowned OCL Studios, followed by legendary punk rocker Stephen Egerton of the Descendents and ALL putting his talents into mastering the album. They put these values into practice whenever they plug into an amp, and they do it in the most entertaining way possible. The five members of JSM are legends of the Calgary musical subculture, and additionally perform as show bookers, punk promoters, and tireless advocates of off-the-wall and idiosyncratic local sounds. ‘Lose The Key’ isn’t the only fiery track from JSM in fact their fourth album, ‘Try It Out’, is wholly flammable, packed with songs each as outspoken and unsparing as the next. “A whole world of tears could not douse out these flames.” He feels somewhat like a human flame thrower, he’s howling, raging, almost as if he feels the very heat nipping at his toes. In the first verse of ‘Leave The Key’, Ollinger sets the scene by imagining setting himself on fire. It seems he had an impact in Canada too, and he lives on in the name of incendiary punk band Julius Sumner Miller, from Calgary, whose new single, ‘Leave The Key’, is a rough, raw and somewhat menacing track, with a music video to match – frontman Darren Ollinger sets himself alight in the clip. If you were an Australian growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, you’ll instantly recognise the name of Julius Sumner Miller, the wild haired, somewhat crotchety professor who brought the wonder of science to generations through his TV show, ‘Why Is It So?’, then to further generations with his science-based ads for Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate in the 1980s. 11/10/2023 0 Comments Meta bat softball![]() ![]() It’s also critical to provide a customizable sizing option in order to appeal to a bigger audience.

The batteries may also present minor effects such as high manufacturing costs, lower energy densities, and high risks of swelling but these do not define them as significantly flawed. These batteries are majorly used for electric powertrains in the manufacture of hybrid and electric vehicles and are designed to contain a very thin profile for their use in small electronic devices like mobile phones. The cells also require a thicker wall size to compensate for the mechanical stability that had been lowered from the design, which thus, resulted in a decrease in capacity. They are also packaged in welded aluminum casings with the cells capable of supplying capacities of between 20 - 30 Ah. The batteries are contained in a rectangular can with the electrodes either stacked or in the form of a flattened spiral. Being of flexible design, the manufacturer can produce a new pack to provide more capacity if the housing space within the electronic device can cater for a few extra millimeters. ![]() Prismatic lithium-ion batteries are mostly found in mobile phones or laptops that have lithium-ion. ![]() This means that they improve the usage of space and also allows the design to be flexible enough with each manufacturer capable of designing their own hence, no standard set format of it. The batteries are purposed at maximizing the optimal use of space through the well-known layered approach. ![]() These batteries are wrapped in attractive packages that resemble boxes of chewing gum or the standard chocolate bars that we know and love. In the early '90s, prismatic batteries were introduced into the world to cater to the demands of thin-sized cells that also come at low manufacturing costs.

For heroes like Sniper or Drow Ranger, who are too squishy to initiate, the money is better off spent on stat items, like Yasha.Īs an initiation tool is where Shadow Blade recoups its cost. You can’t depend on a 2800 gold item to get away when it’s countered by a 180 gold item (though this will depend on your MMR bracket). Shadow Blade here is being used as an escape tool, and it’s in this case where pub players are doing it wrong. It’s about the common scene where three teammates fumble into a gank, and the enemy Drow Ranger enables Shadow Blade and walks away. This isn’t about late game scenarios where your carry has no slots for Dust, and the map is wide open to preempt Sentry Ward placement. Despite buffs to Dust of Appearance and reduced costs of Sentry Ward, invisibility remains invaluable when no one buys either.
