![]() Therefore, from a programmatic angle, a layer is more than function. So, it makes sense for us to just implement it as a function right? But wait, the layer holds weights which need to be stored and updated while we are training. For example, a convolutional operation is just a bunch of multiplication and addition operations. ![]() Normally, any layer can be seen as a function. So how do we choose what to use when? When the layer / activation / loss we are implementing has a loss. For example, in order to rescale an image tensor, you call torch.nn.functional.interpolate on an image tensor. On the other hand, nn.functional provides some layers / activations in form of functions that can be directly called on the input rather than defining the an object. This is a Object Oriented way of doing things. The way it works is you first define an nn.Module object, and then invoke it's forward method to run it. Which one to use? Which one is better?Īs we had covered in Part 2, torch.nn.Module is basically the cornerstone of PyTorch. In PyTorch, layers are often implemented as either one of torch.nn.Module objects or torch.nn.Functional functions. This is something that comes quite a lot especially when you are reading open source code. You can get all the code in this post, (and other posts as well) in the Github repo here. Memory Management and Using Multiple GPUs.Understanding Graphs, Automatic Differentiation and Autograd.How to customise your training options such as different learning rates for different layers, different learning rate schedulesīefore we begin, let me remind you this part 3 of our PyTorch series.What is the difference between PyTorch classes like nn.Module, nn.Functional, nn.Parameter and when to use which.Some of the objectives of this posts are to make you understand. While we have covered how to implement a basic classifier in an earlier post, in this post, we will be discussing how to implement more complex deep learning functionality using PyTorch.

![]() ![]() And this is an absolute plus to all his work, basically. Stunning visuals, brilliant editing, mind-blowing set pieces, say about mister Bay what you will, he has always had an eye for the visual. One CAN claim that it is the greatest work in its genre as is the film.No, it is not a smart movie, or a well written one, but this movie certainly has it's goods, and one can hardly deny it is fairly entertaining. Can't one simply love a story, enjoy reading it a number of times amd lose oneself in it. See this film! Greatest film ever made? How can one make a claim like that! Silly really as silly as claiming that `The Lord of the Rings' is the greatest book ever written. And then there is Middle Earth: this is, as someone put it, another character in the story and the New Zealand landscape, digitally enhanced on occasion, lives up to its role too. McKellan has already been knighted: give Wood the Oscar. He brings, as one friend said, a strange kind of androgyny to the role and this is just perfect. Like many others, when I first heard of Jackson's choice, I groaned: but Wood has been extraordinary. The other miracle in all of this is Elijah Wood. Ian McKellan's talents, in particular, are used to tell a large proportion of the story: an enormous amount is conveyed simply through his facial expressions and even by the language of his body. He didn't want them getting in the way of the story of character. And this also explains why Jackson chose the actors he did for their roles: they are not `big' names - no `Sean Connery', no `Alan Rickman', no `Brad Pitt', no `Sam Neill'etc. Or is he now going to add the theme of the great contest of good versus evil to the unfolding reading? All of this points to the fact that the film, even though it is a feast of special effects, focuses on character. He has lived up to our expectation by creating even bigger ones: how can he handle the story of the chase andrescue of Merry and Pippin, the storming of Isengard etc - stories which don't really add much to the core theme that is emerging. In a sense, Jackson's real trial - as far as those who know the books are concerned - will come with the second film in the series. It is a miracle of this reading of the first volume of the book that one can see where Jackson is going and one can get a feel of how the reading is going to unfold. Bombadil, like the Balrog, is beyond the ring but the latter is important to the unfolding of the story of the fates of all the characters, Bombadil isn't. I can see why, in this reading, Jackson decided to leave out the Bombadil episode. Clearly those most tempted by it are mortal men (Boromir and even, in one moment, Aragorn), those who already have power (Elrond - `The ring cannot stay here' Galadriel Gandalf and Saruman), and, of course, those who would not normally desire it but who by accident become ring bearers - Gollum, Bilbo, Frodo. He focuses on the corrupting influence of the ring and, through this focus, the character of the chief protagonists of the story are revealed. ![]() It is the kind of experience that makes you want to go back and reread the whole thing in the light of the emphases that Jackson has brought to the story. ![]() ![]() It is not the book but a reading of the book which is inventive and fascinating. I have just seen the first `volume' and can say without hesitation that he has succeeded in both his goals. The book itself is `HUGE': this was not going to be the kind of task that the James Ivory team set themselves, or Scorsese nor the kind of task facing Branagh with Hamlet nor was it going to be like the puny task that faced Columbus with `Harry Potter' who had the bigger budget ($130 million for one film as compared with Peter Jackson with $300m for three). In the latter task he was certainly not helped by the author or the book: Tolkein, it would seem, hated cinema. In doing this he, of course, set himself an enormous challenge: he had to make a really good `fantasy' film, one which would stand on its own and be true to what he had originally wanted to do but he would also, and here the task he had set himself was enormous, be true to the original book and to make a film which the legions of people who have loved this book would feel happy with. After repeating that phrase on a number of occasions the question popped into his mind: "Well, why not the `The Lord of the Rings' itself?". I think it is important to remember that Peter Jackson took up this film not in order just to make a film of `The Lord of the Rings' but because he wanted to make a 'fantasy just like the `The Lord of the Rings'" as he himself put it. ![]() ![]() Webmaster if you are the owner of copyrighted animation that is not credited and would like to receive credit and a link.

The zebra shark (Stegostoma tigrinum) is a species of carpet shark and the sole member of the family Stegostomatidae. That makes them suited for using in aquariums, but the small (roughly 5 ft -1.5 m- diameter) cylindrical tank in the picture seems hardly appropriate. Zebra bullhead sharks have a distinct and attractive color pattern: zebra stripes in dark brown or black (even russet in juveniles) on a white, light grey or light brown body and are between 6 in -15 cm- (after hatching) and 4 ft -1.2 m- long. ![]() It is caught as bycatch and may also be under threat from destructive fishing practices within its range (such as cyanide and dynamite fishing in Indonesia) and habitat destruction. It lays flat, auger-shaped egg cases with small tendrils at one end (oviparous). Living on continental and insular shelves in the central Indo-Pacific from northern China and Japan to northern Australia, the Zebra bullhead shark is mostly found in depths shallower than 160 ft -50 m. Von Jason Quinn – Eigenes Werk, CC BY-SA 3.0, Link Just like all its sisters, for instance the Horn shark and Port Jackson shark, it looks cute with its pig-like snout, small puckered mouth and chubby little body, but has got spines in front of its two dorsal fins. ![]() One of only nine (potentially ten) species of the order Heterodontiformes (or bullhead sharks – sharks that have been around longer that nearly all other sharks: for 200 Million years) is the Zebra bullhead shark ( Heterodontus zebra), also known as Barred Bull-head Shark, Barred Shark, Bullhead Shark, Cat Shark, Little Shark, Striped Bullhead Shark, Striped Cat Shark, Zebra Horn Shark or Zebra Port Jackson Shark. ![]() ![]() ![]() The legs lock into position without any hassle, and are positioned tight to each corner, allowing for optimal leg space when sitting around it. The complete surface of the table is 39½-by-25½ inches and can easily accommodate four grown adults around it. The bamboo and sleek design makes it suitable for inside use, too. ![]() It is also the most beautiful camp table I’ve seen. It requires only 25½ -by-19½ inches of space (about the size of a medium suitcase) during transport. It folds in half for storage, locking clips keep it stable when opened and locked when shut, and it has a plastic carrying handle. This is among the easiest tables I have ever set up and broken down. The look, feel, and functionality of this table upgraded our camp vibe, almost like we brought along our dining room table. Best for a Big Group: Dometic GO Compact Camp Table The last thing you want is to be at a campground in the dark and not know much about the table you brought. It should not be rocket science to put a table up if, but some are more complicated than others. Ask a sales associate, and see if it comes with instructions and make sure you can follow them. Pictures on the packaging don’t do it justice. One key piece of advice: set a prospective table up in a store before you buy it. There are some tables that are adjustable, so can act as both a side and kitchen prep table. Will you be using your camping table doth for food prep? Do you want to eat meals around it? Do you want it for a side table or just to hold some drinks? Anything over 30 inches is best for standing and for potentially doing food prep. A standard kitchen table stands about 30 inches tall and a side table can be between 18 and 22 inches tall. The height of the table is important, too. Do you want it for large or small groups? What materials are you looking for in your table? Aluminum or soft sided? Do you want a solid surface or are slats ok? How sturdy and durable do you want it? Does it matter if you are just loading it in the car, or do you need one that can stow in a designated spot? Also, will you be using one of the best camp kitchens with your camping table? With so many choices, your first decision is how you’ll use the table. How to Choose the Best Camping Table Portable camping tables make dining in the outdoors a lot more comfortable.

Note that reads from different sequencing platforms of the same organism can be submitted in one job. What follows is a tutorial showing how to submit reads of various types for assembly and selecting parameters for the assembly algorithm. These differences necessitate different algorithms for assembly from short and long read technologies. Third generation technologies like PacBio and fourth generation technologies like Oxford Nanopore (called “long-read” technologies) provide read lengths in the thousands or tens of thousands but have much higher error rates of around 10-20%, with errors being chiefly insertions and deletions. Second generation sequencing technologies like Illumina (called “short-read” technologies) produce short reads on the order of 50-200 base pairs and have low error rates of around 0.5-2%, with the errors chiefly being substitution errors. ![]() ![]() These are commonly used in bioinformatic studies to assemble genomes or transcriptomes.ĭifferent assemblers are designed for different type of read technologies. Typically, the short fragments, called reads, result from shotgun (random) sequencing of genomic DNA.ĭe novo sequence assemblers are a type of program that assembles short nucleotide sequences into longer ones without the use of a reference genome.

![]() ![]() There are several ways that animals reproduce asexually, the details of which vary among individual species. Asexual ReproductionĪsexual reproduction occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria and archaea) and in many eukaryotic, single-celled and multi-celled organisms. This is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction compared to asexual reproduction. Only half the population (females) can produce the offspring, so fewer offspring will be produced when compared to asexual reproduction. Species that reproduce sexually (and have separate sexes) must maintain two different types of individuals, males and females. The genetic diversity of sexually produced offspring is thought to give sexually reproducing individuals greater fitness because more of their offspring may survive and reproduce in an unpredictable or changing environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment, species that reproduce asexually may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not be adapted to different conditions.ĭuring sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly these are two advantages that asexually reproducing organisms have over sexually reproducing organisms. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Some animals produce offspring through asexual reproduction while other animals produce offspring through sexual reproduction.

Longwear polish is a nail category created in the 80s for a light polish application that is also long-lasting. In 2020, Lee Press-On Nails has made a huge resurgence! There is a wider range of patterns and designs, better technology, and many celebrities and models who wear the nails on carpets and runways. While the nails were super popular at the time, they also came with a plethora of issues, like easily snagging on things, being ephemeral, and not being realistic to the eye. The convenient press-on nail brand was launched and notorious in the 80s, with various nails, colors, and lengths to choose from. It was nearly impossible to have not seen a Lee Press-On Nails commercial in between your favorite shows back in the day. In fact, neon nail polish is a current trend we’re experiencing today and probably a nail color we won’t stop seeing for quite some time. Icons, like Madonna, often wore neon nail polish, making it an even more popular nail craze in the 80s. Neon nail polish was a huge fad 40 years ago, with luminous bold colors like yellow, blue, green, pink, and purple sported by women everywhere and paired with everyone’s favorite matching neon clothing item. When anyone thinks of the 80s, neon automatically comes to mind. The flattering shape was versatile for everyone during the decade, from Princess Diana to the late songstress Selena Quintanilla. These super long square-oval-shaped nails were trendy and super popular at the time, with the most creative and longest of them dubbed as “Flo Jo” nails after the late athlete. Thanks to Black female track and field stars, like Florence Griffith Joyner and Gail Devers, long squoval acrylic nails commonly seen in Black culture were pushed to the mainstream and perfectly matched the over-the-top and eye-catching aesthetics of the 80s. To get a glimpse and recreate these claw looks, check out this list of 10 80s nail trends to try in the 2020s. ![]() The stronger the contrast between the base color and the dot colors, the more striking the effect. Also, polka dots look best on short nails. Polka dots are easy to paint and are apt for a vacation or a day at the beach or simply a girls’ night out. Experimenting with acrylics, different nail shapes, and press-on nails took over the beauty world. A cute design for smart short acrylic nails. From bold and neon colors to subdued nude and pink tones, the “Yuppie Decade” or “Decade of Greed” showcased the essence of the times through nail trends. Moreover, the 80s popularized the art of nail painting, a craze that hasn’t stopped to this day. The 1980s was an era that gave birth to new and extreme fashion styles, music genres, film, and beauty trends the world never saw coming. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their perpetual enemy, the Abundance, is the same, for they bring healing and torment hand-in-hand.

Dexerto Honkai Star Rail Aeons: Who are they and what are their paths Rishov Mukherjee Published: Jul 18, 2023, 08:29 Updated: Jul 18, 2023, 08:29 HoYoverse Aeons are some of the most. ![]() The light permanently "healed" that planet and the patients on it, a race of immortal half-human half-snake monsters. The good news was the IPC was out of ideas regarding the molting disease (undoubtedly the work of Yaoshi) spreading throughout Xuange. The bad news was the IPC lost a planet in its business sphere. Half a unit of system time later, the entirety of the planet Xuange imploded. Shortly thereafter, a flash of light cleaved apart the sky, leaving behind abnormal rainbow-colored traces. The astronomical observation system detected a gravitational wave, a spatial disturbance left by an entity traveling too fast to be measured and covering astronomical distances. How would you describe the Aeon of The Hunt? We can get an impression from the Xuange Observation Station's report in AE 2131. Even Screwllum's gears squeaked when he saw Nous. Seriously, out of everyone who had faced an Aeon, that old man was the calmest I've seen. Fuli then disappeared, and Louis Fleming turned and walked off the stage, never to be seen again. Maybe they exchanged some words, or maybe they didn't - The recording didn't manage to catch that. The human representing wealth and the Aeon representing remembrance briefly locked eyes with each other. Like a wraith that appeared in thin air, Fuli the Remembrance had condensed into being before Louis Fleming. But just as he was finishing the speech, there was a rainbow-colored light that threw everyone into disarray. Given how old he was, he was probably tired of living. ![]() Old Fleming was giving a speech at the time and declaring he was going to permanently retire from all official and unofficial events. Therefore, the IPC's archives preserved the complete recording of the Aeon's manifestation from the start to the end. It is said that Aha the Elation will randomly give mortals the power of their Path, and toy with humans according to their mood.Fortunately, the one time that Fuli's arrival was recorded was the last public appearance of Louis Fleming, the founder and lifetime honorable Board member of the Interastral Peace Corporation. There are also Aeons who have no intention of creating Emanators and have no interest in worldly squabbles. ![]() Some Aeons regard Emanators as an extension of themselves, and as such, generously open their Path to the Emanators completely. They are referred to as "Emanators.” While not completely subservient to the Aeons, Emanators are as good as emissaries of the Aeons' wills in everyone else's eyes.ĭifferent Aeons have different attitudes towards their Emanators, so the degree of the power they share also varies. In this empty stellar vastness, a small number of favored mortals can also draw upon the power of the Paths with the permission of the Aeons, creating huge waves that erode the coast. If mortals receiving the grace of Aeons and grasping the power of Paths are viewed as a singular shattered foam, then the mighty feats of Aeons driving their Paths onwards can be likened to a towering tsunami that engulfs mountains. ![]() |
