We show a close connection with the Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival distribution. The harmonic process is easy to generate sequentially, and a simple expression exists for both the joint probability distribution and multivariate survivor function. In particular, this two-dimensional family comprises the set of exchangeable, Markov survival processes with weakly continuous predictive distributions. We identify the harmonic process as the family of exchangeable, Markov survival processes that compose the natural set of statistical models for time-to-event data. We show how these are determined by their characteristic index n = 1 ∞. We study exchangeable, Markov survival processes - stochastic processes giving rise to infinitely exchangeable non-negative sequences ( T 1, T 2, …). ![]() ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.

And of course, you’ll always be in control of your privacy settings when deciding how you want to use these tools and extensions.īard will also be able to tap into all kinds of services from across the web, with extensions from outside partners, to let you do things never before possible. Looking ahead, we’ll introduce new ways to fuel your imagination and curiosity by integrating the capabilities of Google apps and services you may already use - Docs, Drive, Gmail, Maps and others - right into the Bard experience. Just click the “draft in Gmail” button so you can make those final tweaks before getting your pickleball league off the ground.Ĭonnecting Bard with the services you love You can ask Bard to write an email invitation for your new pickleball league, summarizing the rules of the game and highlighting its inclusivity of all ages and levels. For example, let’s say - like me - you’re a die-hard pickleball fan. “Export” Button: We've heard that developers love the export to Colab feature, so coming soon, we're adding the ability to export and run code with our partner Replit, starting with Python.Īnd since people often ask Bard for a head start drafting emails and documents, today we’re launching two more Export Actions, making it easy to move Bard’s responses right into Gmail and Docs.Dark theme: Today we’re launching Dark theme, which is another feature developers have asked for - and one we think will help make interacting with Bard a lot easier on your eyes.If Bard brings in a block of code or cites other content, just click the annotation and Bard will underline those parts of the response and link to the source.

Introducing coding upgrades and export features ![]() ![]() Reduce employs a very custom UI, which I don’t mind, per se. I see three main problems with Reduce: the aforementioned slow animations (especially visible when opening the Presets/Watermark dialogs) lack of sharing options and, the fact that many interface elements are “too close” to each other or “too small”. The execution of the resizing process is fast and shown with a progress bar inside a modal dialog. There are no renaming options, as you wouldn’t see filenames on iOS anyway. Images that have been selected and resized (using the Start button) are saved into the Camera Roll as new files. ![]() It’s a nice addition on top of the main resizing features, but I think it’s too limited, especially in the font and color departments (I wouldn’t expect the app to let you load your own fonts, but iOS 6 can do better). Reduce comes with 15 different fonts, 2 formatting options (bold and italic), 4 opacity settings, 2 font colors, 4 watermark placement options, and 2 border types. You can also add text watermarks when resizing images. JPEG quality can be adjusted with a slider in 10% increments, and pixel size can be determined with a popup menu that lets you specify absolute height/width values or a more generic shorter/longer side in pixels. You can strip Exif data off an image, determine its file size by KB or JPEG quality, and turn on sharpening when resizing an image. ![]() Reduce can resize images as well as decrease their quality to make them more suitable for mobile uploads/sharing. Opening and closing albums, enlarging previews, opening menus – the animations aren’t terribly slow, but there’s something off about them. The album animation immediately shows one area where I believe Reduce could be better: animations feel a bit slow. 2 Reduce starts with a page showing available iOS albums as stacks of photos tap on one, and the stack expands to reveal the photos inside it, displayed in a grid with the newest ones on top (a nice touch). It doesn’t have any sharing option and the only location where it can save new images is the Camera Roll. Reduce is close to excellence when it comes to the first one.ĭeveloped by Tobias Wiedenmann, Reduce is a $1.99 Universal app to batch resize images with presets. My “ideal” batch resizing photo app for iOS would excel in two different aspects: it would be Universal and have an elegant interface to pick multiple photos at once to batch resize them with presets it would come with a plethora of sharing options built-in, including Cloud Files and SFTP support. 1 The latest Pythonista update made things dramatically better with the Photos module, but I still can’t pick multiple photos at once (and, obviously, I still have to deal with Python). My iOS screenshot workflow is faster thanks to Pythonista and the Hazel script running on the Mac mini, but I miss the possibility of having a single app capable of batch resizing and uploading images to Rackspace Cloud Files. This is what I’ve been using in combination with some Pythonista scripts that would resize screenshots for me. When we decided to move 4 years of image uploads off the FTP and onto a CDN (alongside new uploads on a daily basis), I asked our Don Southard to create a Hazel script that would monitor Dropbox for screenshots and upload them to the CDN. In spite of that, however, I kept using OneEdit to resize multiple screenshots at once, save them to the Camera Roll, fire up Diet Coda, and move them to our FTP server. ![]() ![]() The downside is that the app’s interface is clunky and convoluted, with seemingly no intention from the developer to update it. For screenshots, the story is a bit more complicated.įor months, I used OneEdit, an iPhone/iPad app to batch resize images from the Camera Roll OneEdit comes with a lot of features, including presets, Dropbox sharing, and FTP uploads.

Under the hood, OpenSCAD has a quite sophisticated programming environment. Fancy logos and decorations can be done in OpenSCAD but require a fair bit of work. This design, like many OpenSCAD designs, is probably more functional than "pretty". This means it easy to make changes and adjustments by changing some values or to adapt a design to make something completely new. OpenSCAD designs are easy to make parametric. Add in standoffs for the board, some lugs for the lid and drill the holes. Substract this adapted board shape and interior from the solid box.Ħ. Stretch and move shapes on the board so they stick through the case.ĥ. Make a shape that accurately represents the raspiberry pi board.ģ. Note: I believe the RaspPi2 is physically the same as the RaspPiB+ġ. Measurements are relative to the board so we have to shift coordinates to make them use the same coordinates as the box. The hole for the SD has to be made larger and lower to give adequate access. A resize vector (Mainly to enlarge so taht the device pokes through the case)Īn example of "fudging" is the hole for the micro SD card. A shift vector (adjust the position of the device)Ĥ. A size vector which is the actual size of the device.ģ. A translate vector to move cubes to the actual place on the board.Ģ. Thus there is a total of four columns of vectors:ġ. I use two further columns to "fudge" the position and size. The measurements are organised a column and of translates and cube sizes. The position and sizes of a device were measured with a caliper from the bottom left hand corner of the board (near the micro power USB). The board has a number of devices, such USB, camera connector, SD etc. The lid and bottom are sliced half way (10mm). The case is 20mm high to match the metal top of he USBs and ethernet which I leave exposed. ![]() The board has 2mm gaps and with a a plastic thickness of 1.5mm this makes t 7mm larger than the board. It would be easy to make a "fatter" design by tweaking some parameters in OpenSCAD. It is "slim line" which means that the top of the USB parts for part of the top of the case. The case is intended to be not much larger than the board.

In Autumn 2022, 125,222 pupils were away from the classroom more often than not, compared to 60,244 in Autumn 2019. Non-EU nationals arriving for work reasons also increased to stood at 151,000, up year-on-year from 92,000.Īs we've been reporting today, numbers released by the Department for Education show that school absence remains at crisis levels (see post at 9.17). Included in the group are those who arrived on visas classified as family, protection, settlement or visit, as well as those who have come for humanitarian reasons, such as from Ukraine. The second-largest group of non-EU immigration was by people on "other" visas - 276,000 - up from 91,000 in the previous year. People arriving on study visas accounted for the largest proportion (277,000 people - 39%) of long-term immigration of non-EU nationals. The latest figures do not include the estimated 35,000 people who arrived in small boats in the year to June 2022. Recent migration levels are not comparable directly with figures pre-2020 as the ONS has changed and improved its estimation methods. ![]() The figures next week will cover the 12 months to December 2022, and will likely reflect the ongoing impact of these events.Īn estimated 1.1 million people are thought to have migrated to the UK in the year to June 2022, with the majority - 704,000 - from outside the EU.īut just 560,000 people were estimated to have migrated from the UK in that period, almost half of them – 275,000 – going back to the EU. The ONS attributes the rise to "unprecedented world events", such as the end of COVID lockdowns, the war in Ukraine, as well visa programmes for Afghan refugees and British nationals from Hong Kong. In the 12 months to June 2022, total net migration stood at an estimated 504,000 - a sharp rise from 173,000 in the year to June 2021. One of the reasons for failing to recommit to that pledge is the latest available figures show migration is already at a record high. In an interview with Sky's political editor Beth Rigby earlier, the PM repeatedly failed to commit to reducing net migration to below 226,00 per year - a Conservative manifesto pledge at the 2019 election - saying only said he was "committed to bringing down the levels of net migration that I've inherited". Next Thursday, new estimates of net migration to the UK are due to be published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) as immigration remains high on the political agenda. The same should apply for people who behave violently on planes." It is right that people can be banned from driving, they can be banned from being a company director and they can be banned from football matches. "At the moment violence is very rare, but if you introduce this legislation, this will make it even less likely to happen. So that person can just go and fly with a different operator. "The difficulty that we have currently is that someone can be violent on a particular operator's aeroplane and then that operator cannot pass that information on to another operator. "This bill aims to ensure that violent people who cause mayhem on aeroplanes are actually banned from flying for a specific period of time by a court," Mr Johnson said. He's introducing a 10 Minute Rule Bill on the issue on 24 May. The Conservative MP for Dartford, Gareth Johnson, believes the law needs to change to deal with the increasing numbers. Many incidents of so-called "air rage" have been documented by shocked fellow travellers on social media. ![]() ![]() Next week, in a bid to reduce those numbers, MPs will be considering a new law that could see offenders banned from all British carriers.

There are three different scan types: smart scan, full scan, or custom scan. Smart scan checks for viruses and rootkits in the memory, boot sectors, autorun entries, and other areas like the registry and system folder. A custom scan lets you choose individual files and folders to scan instead of an entire drive. You can also scan archives, enable heuristics scanning, and skip files over a specified size.

This was probably the most “normal” awards show since COVID - the Emmys have not yet figured it out, and the Oscars that might have come closest were randomly derailed this year. Even Jerrod Carmichael, who had begun the broadcast talking about how venal and unworthy this show was, was willing to defend it once it got going. It was stunning not merely for its timing, just before two stars of “Top Gun: Maverick” took the stage to present awards, but for its angle of approach. He had no more significant bits after the monologue, but he was a presence on the stage, generally being so benignly encouraging of the stars he introduced that his hardest-hitting joke of the night - calling out Globes critic Tom Cruise for his ties to the alleged scandals of Scientology - caught in the throat. ![]() (Two key moments of delight late in the ceremony: When one presenter, Natasha Lyonne, cracked that the show had to come in by 11 at around 11:05 eastern time, and when another, Regina Hall, simply could not keep a straight face while reading Teleprompter language about absent winner Kevin Costner’s deep desire to be there.)Ĭarmichael’s presence grew warmer as the show progressed. If you like actors speaking to camera, this awards show was all-killer, almost-no-filler - and it was, radically, allowed to come in almost 20 minutes over time even with several winners staying home. Through the COVID era, we have seen various awards shows, notably the Emmys, radically constrain winners with play-off music while allowing endless useless bits to flourish. In this, the Globes were an unqualified success. I am a believer that awards shows are shaped by the speeches given - and by what the speakers are allowed to give. There were good reasons for the Globes to have left the air, and there is much about their legacy to critique this broadcast was also a reminder that there are, despite it all, reasons the Globes are still here. The speeches were stem-winding and often strange, and the sense of occasion was alternatingly grave and buoyant in that perfect Globes way. But as to whether or not they were able to keep up a good face for their strange purgatorial year, back on NBC one more time before the contract expires but exiled to Tuesday night - well, they hadn’t changed much. It lies to others to determine the degree to which the Hollywood Foreign Press has changed meaningfully. Hadn’t everyone in the audience - an incomplete but very robust complement of Hollywood stars - agreed to show up as well?) “I took this job assuming they hadn’t changed at all,” he said. Carmichael, acid-tongued as any Globes host in recent memory but a less-well-known quantity than any, evinced a clear-eyed sense of what is possible in Hollywood. Obviously, he had said yes, but was not averse to raking the show over the coals in explaining why (money, primarily - a half-million dollar paycheck, he said) or in elucidating what wrongs had been done in the past. Addressing the show’s absence for a year, after its presence on-air had paused amid scandals around a lack of racial inclusion in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, among other issues, Carmichael, a Black comedian, described considering whether or not it was worth lending his name and reputation to the show’s comeback. Welcome back, Ricky.Jerrod Carmichael opened the Golden Globes by attempting to deconstruct the show before it began. “Tina and Amy are a hard act to follow but Ricky is completely fearless and entirely up for the job,” NBC’s president of alternative and late-night Paul Telegdy said. The HFPA is expected to announce his return as Golden Globes host shortly with a tease (on left). Still, he has been a standout as a presenter at every awards show he has attended, with his bits going viral, keeping him very much in the conversation for any top awards-show hosting gigs. Gervais had vowed to never host the Globes again. He shocked Hollywood with his pointed barbs, making headlines, drawing big ratings and leading to then-HFPA President Phillip Berk’s comment after the 2011 show that The Office star had “crossed the line.” But Gervais was back by popular demand for one more hosting turn in 2012 before he passed the baton to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the event the last three years to strong reviews. Gervais was the first emcee in a very long time for the Globes when he was tapped for the gig in 2010. Look who is back! Ricky Gervais, the e nfant terrible of the Golden Globes, is set to return as host of the awards show January 10. ![]() |
