Meticulously assembled and restored by producer David C. His updated vision was released on DVD in standard definition and embraced by fans but has never been available in higher definition until now. In 2001, director Robert Wise revisited the film to refine the edit and enhance the visual effects. WATCH: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition Remastered Trailer The film successfully launched the Star Trek franchise beyond the original television series, despite having been rushed to theaters with incomplete special effects and forced editing choices. Originally released in 1979, Star Trek: The Motion Picture became the fourth highest grossing movie of the year and earned three Academy Award® nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Music, Original Score. Tickets will go on sale Friday, April 8 at. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to see the restored version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture-The Director’s Edition on the big screen for the first time when Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures bring it to theaters for an exclusive two-day event on May 22 and May 25. The newly restored film will subsequently arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in September from Paramount Home Entertainment. The film will be available to stream on Paramount+ in 4K Ultra HD on supported devices and platforms. Eagerly anticipated by Star Trek fans for over two decades, Star Trek: The Motion Picture-The Director’s Edition will make its long-awaited debut exclusively on Paramount+ on April 5, 2022, in celebration of First Contact Day.

Nathaniel Johnston and Dave Greene have published a book on Conway’s Game of Life, featuring both the theoretical aspects and engineering that’s been accomplished in the half-century since its conception.Darren Li has connected Charity Engine to Catagolue, providing approximately 2000 CPU cores of continuous effort and searching slightly more than 10^12 random initial configurations per day.The remaining unsolved periods are 19, 34, and 41. David Raucci discovered the first oscillator of period 38.A few days later they discovered the pattern in this post, which implies the stronger (and indeed optimal up to a constant factor) result above. Recently Törmä and Salo settled the problem for all positive integers, but the diameter of the pattern implied by their proof grows like Θ(N). Previous results were known for small values of N ( N=0 by Roger Banks, and N=1,2,3 by mtve). The diameter of such a pattern grows like Θ(sqrt(log(N))). The construction also implies a solution to the generalised grandfather problem: a pattern which has an N-tick predecessor but not an (N+1)-tick predecessor. Was addressed only to you – please circulate it if you like. Originally intended to be only a very much shorter thank-you note, and so Well, I’m going out to get a hot dog now, so will stop this. That found the old orphans (gardens-of-eden), but restricted to still-lifes. This one! I imagine it might be findable too, by a version of the searches Indeed, is there a Godlike still-life, one that can only have existedįor all time (apart from things that don’t interfere with it)? I like That’s almost an orphan, in that it can only arise from a similarĬonfiguration at the previous time, which itself can only arise from …. Sorry – A non-(glider-)constructible configuration might be something Teaches us perhaps that there is no orphan, that almost all configurationsĭie down pretty soon – whereas almost all configurations ARE orphans, ofĬourse, and PROBABLY almost all configurations grow infinitely, as youĪsserted in your note, but I’m sure not meaning that it was provably true. Experience is a bad guide to large configurations – it This brings me to an interesting point – the false lessons experience Though obviously that sense must allow for fading configurations outside Of such delicacy that in some essential sense it is its only ancestor – Should NOT believe, however, that everything of infinite age is soīuildable (even if most of us do). Infinite “age” (at least if you define them correctly). The things buildable by gliders (an idea I think first popularizedīy Buckingham) are a nice class, mainly because they are provably of More importantly, the Törmä-Salo result positively answers a question first posed by John Conway himself on 24th August 1992: There exists a strict still-life with 306 cells that cannot be synthesised.Every strict still-life with ≤ 20 cells can be synthesised by gliders.Oscar moreover proved, again using SAT solvers, that this is the minimum-population stabilisation of the Törmä-Salo configuration.Ĭonsequently, we have the following pair of bounds: The first finite stabilisation was 374 cells, but this was promptly reduced to 334 cells by Danielle Conway and then to the 306-cell configuration above by Oscar Cunningham. Since this configuration can be stabilised (by the addition of further live cells, shown in yellow) into a finite still-life, this demonstrates that not every still-life can be constructed by colliding gliders. Similarly, one can use a SAT solver to verify that Törmä and Salo’s result is correct. The configuration was discovered by experimenting with finite patches of repeating ‘agar’ and using a SAT solver to check whether any of them possess this property. Here is the configuration of live and dead cells, surrounded by an infinite background of grey “don’t care” cells: Ilkka Törmä and Ville Salo, a pair of researchers at the University of Turku in Finland, have found a finite configuration in Conway’s Game of Life such that, if it occurs within a universe at time T, it must have existed in that same position at time T−1 (and therefore, by induction, at time 0).

To make Thora's experience with the boss fights easier, she can earn God-like powers along the way. The bosses look amazing and are imposing, and they fight equally as impressive, and is where most of the fun in Jotun: Valhalla Edition derives from. Kaunan, the Fire Jotun, swings his impressive blade, while creating shockwaves of flame and lava. Jera, the Nature Jotun looks like an octopus with her tree-like tentacles, as she unleashes her poisonous spores when she's not pounding the ground with her roots, while Hagalaz, the Wind Jotun, splits herself into two, while she calls lightning from the skies that must be avoided. While Thora's still slow and sluggish at times, the boss fights are fast-paced and action packed. The five boss battles are the exact opposite of each stage that precedes it in terms of pace and repetitiveness. The stages themselves are also quite repetitive however, this is contrasted by the boss battles where Jotun: Valhalla Edition really comes to life. While evading is a great way to escape the clutches of evil, most of the time it barely works, as evading still causes her to get hit, while the recovery time after an axe swing seems like forever. The gameplay itself seems very slow, from the way Thora moves to the way she swings her axe. However, all those stage features simply serve as a wallpaper to hide the cracks. If a lot of the terminology sounds very foreign, upon completing this game, they won't be. Jormungandr's Lake features the Midgard Serpent, as he constantly threatens Thora from below the ice that she walks on, while discovering the three Disirs (ghosts) unlock the door guarded by a Draugr (undead creature). For instance, as previously mentioned, The Northern Sky stage requires for the constellations to be recreated by hitting the correct electricity pylons, while the Roots of Yggdrasil has a certain snakes-and-ladders vibe that requires sliding down slopes while riding up elevators. Thora must find the Runes, which allows her passage to fight each of the world's bosses, the Jotun, while Mimir's well serves as a one-time healing point for Thora.Įach stage is heavily centred on drawing inspiration from the source material of Norse mythology, and it is filled with clever ways of translating them into challenges that Thora must overcome. The open-world maps require Thora to explore every nook and cranny, as she searches for Ithunn's Apples, which increase her life bar each time, while paying her respects at the shrines of the Gods grant her the use of their respective God powers. The stages are split into five different themed worlds that centre on nature, caves, ice, clouds and fire. However, the most important part of the stage designs is that they actually look like they have lived the history of the mythology. The panoramic background shots do a perfect job in illustrating the scale of the locations, while showing how small Thora is the grand scheme of things. Stages contain stunning vistas that sometimes serve as the background or focal point of that stage. Traverse Jormungandr's Lake where the son of Loki, the Midgard Serpent, is constantly at her heels.Įach stage is beautifully envisioned in the art style, with the same amount of love and care going into every single world. Brokkr's Forge is a dark and grimy stage that is significant due to Thor's hammer having been created there, while the Northern Sky requires Thora to light up pylons in the shape of constellations. The main location that acts as a hub world is the primordial void of chaos, Ginnungagap, where the first Jotun, Ymir was created. Set in the heart of Norse mythology, Jotun: Valhalla Edition recreates the various locations from the mythos. This is a world built upon lots of history, with a sense of mystery around every corner that is rewarded with scenes of wonder and awe. The hand drawn art style is mesmerising, and the crisp animation is almost seamless, except for a few graphical hiccups that happen along the way. Jotun: Valhalla Edition is a beautiful and alluring adventure. Hundreds of frustrated users took to Fitbit forums and other social channels to complain about a blank/black display that was plaguing their Charge 3. Fortunately, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.Įssential reading: Top fitness trackers and health gadgetsĪ number of years back this problem appeared on the Fitbit Charge 3. In other words, the display simply ceases to function. One that has been present for a number of years now manifests itself as a black, missing, or blank Fitbit screen. Hello Apple fans! Welcome to today’s #iPhone8 troubleshooting article.Even though Fitbit smartwatches and fitness trackers are excellent, problems do arise from time to time. In this post, we cover three issues that some users reported last week. We hope that you’ll find our solutions helpful.īefore we proceed let us remind you that you can contact us by using the link provided at the bottom of this page. When describing your issue, please be as detailed as possible so we can easily pinpoint a relevant solution. If you can, kindly include the exact error messages you are getting to give us an idea where to start. Problem 1: iPhone 8 screen is not working, stays black even if the phone powers on If you have already tried some troubleshooting steps before emailing us, make sure to mention them so we can skip them in our answers. My new iPhone 8 won’t turn on when i woke up this morning to charge it. I bought it around a month ago on 20 December 2017. The phone had at least 20% battery before i sleep yesterday. The sound and vibration works but the screen is black. There are no noticeable cracks/scratches on the front, side and back of my iPhone. I am sure that no one dropped my phone when i was sleeping. The sound, power and control buttons are working but nothing is shown on my screen. I tried charging my phone using a different cable, outlet and on my laptop but my phone still doesn’t respond. Restarting and using the sound buttons to reboot the phone doesn’t work. Do i have to send my phone for repair? What is wrong with my phone? Is it a hardware problem due to my phone being defective? I have only dropped my phone once to my carpet and it survived the drop. I know that my phone is under the Apple Warranty until December 2018. This means that it’s not totally dead but the screen probably is. If you are positive that the device has not suffered any physical damage nor was it exposed to water, there’s a chance you may be able to fix the problem by doing basic troubleshooting. Once the Apple logo appears, release the buttons to allow the phone to restart.Wait until the Apple logo appears on the screen.Press the Home and Power/Sleep buttons together.If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s how it’s done: The first troubleshooting step that you need to do is to see if hard reset will clear a possible software bug. The next logical troubleshooting step that you can try is by using iTunes to wipe the phone clean via factory reset. Wait for your iPhone to restore the phone and restarts itself.Once iTunes detects your phone, go to the Summary tab and click on and click on Restore iPhone … button.Select your iPhone when it appears in iTunes.If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps.Connect your iPhone to the computer with the lighting cable that came with your device.In your computer, make sure that iTunes is up-to-date.This is the most that you can do in this case. If the problem is caused by an unknown software glitch, the screen should be working again normally by now. #IPHONE 4 SCREEN LIGHTS UP BUT NO PICTURE SOFTWARE# Should the phone’s screen stays black after performing the two procedures above, you can assume the screen has malfunctioned. We suggest that you use the warranty of the device to have it fixed for free. #IPHONE 4 SCREEN LIGHTS UP BUT NO PICTURE SOFTWARE#. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the best four-slice toaster is essentially a doublewide version of our previous two-slice pick. The best four-slice toaster overall: Breville Die-Cast In the end, the ‘A Bit More’ came out on top for one key reason: It’s $70 cheaper than its slightly more luxe counterpart, and the only true discernible difference is that it operates via manual lever rather than a button-operated motorized lift and lower. Like the Die-Cast, the ‘A Bit More’ turned out remarkably consistent results during all four tests, evenly toasting each slice of both white bread and thicker-cut sourdough, easily defrosting and crisping waffles, and ably accommodating bagels. Both have nearly identical sets of digital controls that are attractive and intuitive to use, featuring a sliding knob that sets the level of toastiness and flashes a countdown of remaining cook time, as well as the increasingly famous “Bit More” button that has shown up on newer toasters and countertop ovens that tacks on some extra toasting time. The two are very similar: Both are sleek and well-built with weighty frames and stylish minimalist exteriors, extremely stable on the counter without feeling bulky both have generously proportioned toasting slots able to handle tall and thick slices alike. In our most recent round of testing, the Breville ‘A Bit More’ beat out our previous overall winner, the Breville Die-Cast. The best two-slice toaster overall: Breville ‘A Bit More’ You can use these two values to plot the image as a point in 2D space. We can fully describe this image with two values, based on each pixel’s shade (from zero being completely black to 255 being completely white). To understand how creating data works for images, let’s start with a simple image made of just two adjacent grayscale pixels. And while the realistic-looking images created by diffusion models can sometimes perpetuate social and cultural biases, she said, “we have demonstrated that generative models are useful for downstream tasks improve the fairness of predictive AI models.” High Probabilities “This is an exciting time for generative models,” said Anima Anandkumar, a computer scientist at the California Institute of Technology and senior director of machine learning research at Nvidia. The power of these models has rocked industry and users alike. “There are a lot of techniques that were initially invented by physicists and now are very important in machine learning,” said Yang Song, a machine learning researcher at OpenAI. The system that underpins them, known as a diffusion model, is heavily inspired by nonequilibrium thermodynamics, which governs phenomena like the spread of fluids and gases. The key insight that makes DALL♾ 2’s images possible - as well as those of its competitors Stable Diffusion and Imagen - comes from the world of physics. Meanwhile, a powerful generative model - created by a postdoctoral researcher with a passion for physics - lay dormant, until two graduate students made technical breakthroughs that brought the beast to life.ĭALL♾ 2 is such a beast. But even as the quality of their images got better, the models proved unreliable and hard to train. The first important generative models for images used an approach to artificial intelligence called a neural network - a program composed of many layers of computational units called artificial neurons. This is one of the hardest problems in machine learning, and getting to this point has been a difficult journey. Yet DALL♾ 2 can assemble the concepts into something that might have made Dalí proud.ĭALL♾ 2 is a type of generative model - a system that attempts to use training data to generate something new that’s comparable to the data in terms of quality and variety. The program would have encountered images of beaches, goldfish and Coca-Cola during training, but it’s highly unlikely it would have seen one in which all three came together. Ask DALL♾ 2, an image generation system created by OpenAI, to paint a picture of “goldfish slurping Coca-Cola on a beach,” and it will spit out surreal images of exactly that.

Flex funds keep your minister from having to use their own money when they occasionally put gas in someone’s car, take them out to coffee, or buy someone a bag of groceries. Make sure they are accountable by requiring receipts to be turned in to the treasurer. Provide a generous amount of flex funds for your pastor to use in ministry.This is an opportunity to study something that they have never been able to study before, or to take that long spiritual retreat that they desperately need, to work through the vicarious trauma and Complex Post Traumatic Disorder(CPTSD) often associated with ministry. Give your pastor a paid sabbatical every few years.Assign the task of vehicle maintenance to a member of the church who has the skill. This allows the pastoral family to need to own only one and it keeps your poor pastor from feeling embarrassed at the jalopy he must drive in funeral processions. Advocate for your church to purchase a company car so your minister doesn’t add wear and tear to their personal vehicle.Or, create a culture in your church where the membership accepts the ministry of deacons or elders during these times. Create a reciprocal agreement with other churches in the area, so that pastors can cover for each other during crises that occur in their absence. Make sure you have systems in place for what to do when there is a crisis on a holiday, or when the pastor is on vacation. Chances are, your pastor takes few holidays, and works more hours than the average church member.

Below, we’ve included just a few restaurants and chefs offering in-house delivery this map generally focuses on food as opposed to booze - we have a separate list for that. Some chefs, operating tiny virtual pop-ups hawking comfort foods and baked goods, will deliver lasagnas and conchas to people's homes themselves. Others are doing the deliveries themselves, enlisting former servers or hired drivers. Some restaurants have opted to use CCC, a local bicycle delivery service that charges restaurants a lower commission fee and pays its couriers a higher rate breweries and distilleries have opted for AtYourDoor, another Portland-based delivery service. However, a handful of restaurants, cafes, and bars in the Portland area have come up with ways to evade the third-party apps entirely while still offering delivery. If the choice is “order from the restaurant via a third-party app” or “don’t order from the restaurant,” most restaurants would prefer you just order from the app. However, many third-party delivery apps have their own host of documented issues, from listing restaurants without consent, to withholding a portion of delivery drivers’ tips, to taking significant chunks out of restaurant profits during a uniquely challenging period for independent restaurants. For those who still want to patronize local restaurants, that leaves delivery. However, individual needs vary.Because of the state of the world, the premise of venturing outside of the house can seem daunting - both because of COVID-19 but also, I don’t know, because the world is particularly scary right now.
