![]() ![]() It’s 124 years in the future and not only do people still drive themselves around but a futuristic douchebag gets busted for DUI - an unlikely occurrence in a future where the designated driver should be an anachronism. But seriously, everybody knows skeuomorphism is so 2007. ![]() But the creepy android taxi driver is just comical (which suits the tone of the movie, I guess). Total Recall did predict driverless cars, so no problem there. In a society dedicated to creating perfect humans through genetic engineering, you’d think they would also pimp their rides too. The cars that Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke drive are definitely stylish, but come off as decidedly old school. ![]() Gattaca (set in the mid to late 21st century) I find it hard to believe the amazing aerospace tech shown in the movie, as well as the tech in autonomous drones, and fully-fledged AI robots didn’t filter down to the auto industry. Okay, so 2034 is one year shy of our 2035 date. The voice-controlled driverless cars in Timecop not only look hideous but arrived too early in our timeline. Here are the movies that didn’t quite hit the mark (in chronological order). The movie is usually set in a specific year, so that will be taken into account when comparing the depicted year with our proposed 2035 date. Thirdly, the science fiction movie in question should sincerely attempt to depict our future society, although there is room for some artistic license of course. But Kitt is still awesome, even if the 80s are long gone, so it would be remiss not to mention him. And, although Kitt from Knight Rider is actually a pretty realistic autonomous vehicle, he appears on television. And no Benny the Cab from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, or Herby, even if they are pretty cute sentient cars. So, no Christine, arguably the most terrifying depiction of a driverless car. Secondly, we will be focusing exclusively on American science fiction movies, so any depictions of self-driving cars in other genres or mediums is out. So, let’s go with that general time frame as the future date when self-driving cars are more or less mainstream. Navigant, a market research think tank, has studied the emerging technology of self-driving cars and has concluded that by 2035, at least 75 percent of all cars sold will be autonomous. So, the question is, which science fiction movies got it right, and who got it wrong?īefore we can answer this question, we need to establish a few things.įirstly, we need to determine a plausible future date where the majority of vehicles on the road will be autonomous. But with self-driving cars rapidly gaining traction (sorry) in the public imagination, we are getting a better idea of what a realistic future of autonomous vehicles may look like. Driverless cars in Sci-Fi movies Sat Feb 14, 2015Ĭars are so integral to American culture, that it’s no surprise they often appear in Hollywood movies about the future. ![]()

![]() Our justification is based on and is guaranteed by Jesus’ resurrection. Sometimes a combination of these various ideas applied to a verse will bring the richest results. ![]() “have everlasting life”-the greatest result “that whoever believes”-the greatest condition “His only begotten Son”-the greatest gift We might title this verse, “The greatest verse in the Bible.” The following ideas are found in it: Let us look again at John 3:16 as our example. Study a verse by looking for the great ideas revealed in it. Or simply take the nouns in this wonderful verse: “God … world … only begotten Son … whoever … everlasting life.” Study a verse through the personalities revealed.įor example, once again taking John 3:16, these very simple but significant points are brought to light: “God … only begotten Son … whoever … Him. You could make a comparative list like this: Study it by the verbs in the verse.įor example, if you were studying John 3:16 you would find the following verbs: “loved … gave … should not perish … have …” There are many ways for you to study a single Bible verse. In studying the historical passages of the Bible, such as most of the Old Testament or parts of the Gospels, each verse may have only one simple meaning.īut many verses in both the Old and New Testaments are rich with many great Bible truths that will demand more detailed study. It is helpful also to look up in the concordance important words that occur in this paragraph, for example, the words “hypocrites” and “heathen.” By comparing other passages of the Bible that teach about prayer, you’ll be kept from making any mistakes concerning the true nature, conditions, and results of prayer according to the will of God. (2) Following the pattern of Jesus’ model prayer, 6:9–13 a. (1) In private to your heavenly Father, 6:6. “Jesus Teaches Us How to Pray”- Matthew 6:5–15 For example, using Matthew 6:5–15, your outline of this passage would be something like this: For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” Make an Outlineįrom the text you’ve now rewritten so that you can see the relationship of the various parts of the paragraph, it is easy to make a simple outline. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. ![]() For example, if you were going to study the paragraph on prayer in the Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 6:5–8, you could rewrite this text:Īnd when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. In order to find the relation of the important words and sentences in this paragraph, it is often helpful to rewrite the text. Read the paragraph carefully for its main thought or subject. ![]() Studying the Bible by paragraphs like this is often called analytic Bible study. The beginning of a paragraph in this Bible is indicated by a boldface verse number. When an author changes the subject of emphasis in writing, he usually begins a new paragraph. Usually, to understand a Bible chapter, you must study it together with the preceding or following chapters.Ī paragraph is several sentences of thought in writing. Compare Scripture with Scripture to find its true meaning. Then, using your concordance, look up the key words in those verses and find out what other portions of the Bible say about this question or problem.

Or you try to tweak embedded in phone what you have with an app like Neutron (for QC SoC's) but some things will disregardingly need a costume ROM with some configuration changes. Quote: There is no such thing as 'bit perfect' for lossy formats. It sounds pretty much exactly like Foobar2000 kernel streaming. ![]() Volume attenuation in Asus Xonar Control Center is also bad (again, taking ReClock's VA as reference). Using ReClock on Windows seems to do the trick. So you use in app embedded drivers for USB audio 2.0 and a processing (UAPP, HiBy, HF, FiiO, Shanling.) but the chain is limited to the what app provides. ReClock's volume attenuator (53fp) works mach accurate than f2k's one (32fp in ver.> 0.8). Let's just say how Android default system audio implementation is bad to broken (when it resamples 44100 to 48000 Hz I consider it broken) from every view point (OS-vendor-OEM). You would be nuts not to use widely available duble precision floting point (which by the way will translate back to the precision point rounding in integer) or 64 bit FP and linear upsampling for processing (effects, EQ.) even leaving analog output going over standard output rates (44100 ~ 48000 Hz) to the extent that you want to drive noise (or most of it) out to the frequency hearing range (DSD128 for example) to where it can't be heard. That's analog domain and human hearing anyway. you can't A/B bit-perfectness, use KMixer stuff for a while.then use bitperfect, and notice how the sound is clearer and the SNR 'll be easier to notice on XP than Vista coz the XP Kmixer works in 16integer, where Vista works in 32float. The MASTER runs full Roon or Logitech Media Server and our sublime 432 Hz enabled player, which can also play bit perfect to the highest possible quality. (Optional) Ability to alternatively use ReClock for Bit-Perfect Audio output. Very interested to hear people's thoughts on this, particularly if you think the methodology or conclusion is flawed in any way. If you look at capability of DAC output there is absolutely no need for more than 21 bit integer precision (as you can feel remaining 3 bit's noise flor whit what ever you like it will stay beyond auditable threshold) depth or sample rate of 44100 or 44800 Hz. A simple settings application that allows you to modify the configuration. Given the very low level of errors that can be detected, it is furthermore quite feasible that an error in one single bit would be quite audible as a click on replay, depending on its position in the corrupted word. ![]() Bit perfect as usually prefered to means that digital source is passed on to analog output as it is (sample rate bit depth). ![]() ![]() ![]() :)Ĭombined with Samus' productive starter abilities (re: bomb jump, mock ball, wall jump), copious sequence breaks make Super Metroid very nonlinear. It just so happens I didn't pick those games as my preferred Speedrun. In short, I'm totally open to playing games with Doomguy. This means there is a payoff, or a return from the hard work you can put into improving your gameplay as time goes on. It not only looks cool, but it's difficult to optimize the movement as well. The movement in the game is beautiful, and often times people will comment on that-either in my own stream or other runners' streams. This being said, I've played plenty of other games, some of which do start you off fairly powerful, and enjoyed them greatly!Īs for why I spend so much time speedrunning Super Metroid specifically, that's more related to how beautifully put together the game is, and how "cool" it looks and feels. There is something to be said about the upgrades that Samus collects and how powerful she becomes by the end of each game, and that is definitely one of my favorite parts of Metroidvania. Zeni: Well, I wouldn't say it's the closed space specifically that appeals to me. ![]() Nick: What about closed space appeals to you? Why not play something more open, and with a protagonist whose stronger from the offset? Research point #1: The Metroid franchise ludically disempowers players by forcing them inside a closed space that spatially limits the power and quantity of their equipment, maneuverability and speed. So if you feel like you disagree, feel free to do so! Ludic, Closed Space Nick: Awesome! I've divided the rest of interview into four main sections, which we'll complete one at a time.īefore we start, just a reminder that these are my arguments they're not universal truths, but extensions of my own research. Finally I poked around in the community a bit for a few years before finally diving into speedrunning myself in 2017. I found Twitch around the same time and started watching the top runners of the day-mostly Zoasty, who became my favorite Super Metroid speedrunner and Twitch streamer. I remember thinking that a race of the game didn't sound that entertaining, but I was wrong! Just like in the early days, I was immediately hooked and so amazed by the runners and how similarly but differently they each played the game. Shortly after that I found out about GamesDoneQuick and started watching. In 2013 I found updated runs on SpeedDemosArchive. I would casually run both games at least once or twice a year for many years, but took some time off for a few years, between 2010-2014 or so. I managed to pull off some of the stuff in Metroid Prime, but was far more successful with Super Metroid. I started casually trying to copy the tricks and strats I saw in those speedruns-to see how quickly I could get through the games myself. In real time, the runs were over an hour). I instantly fell in love with both, completely amazed at how skilled the players were, and blown away by the fact that they could collect all the items in "under an hour" (tracked using the in-game timer. There were some for Metroid Prime, and some for Super Metroid. The first speedruns I ever saw were posted on SpeedDemosArchive back in the early 2000s. I'm a 30-something year old man with a wife and three kids, a full time job, a degree in cybersecurity and information assurance, and a Twitch stream on the side that I spend most of my "free time" on. Zeni: Hi, I'm ShinyZeni but I usually just go by Zeni. ![]() Zeni, can you tell us a little about yourself? How long have you been speedrunning and what got you into it? My specialty is Metroidvania, but I also research FPS (first-person shooters) and survival horror.

Additionally, messages can be sent from counselors to mother’s personal phones through the StandStrong platform.ĭiscussion: The StandStrong platform has the potential to improve the quality and effectiveness of psychological services delivered by non-specialists in diverse global settings. Achievement Awards based on collected data can also be automatically generated and sent to mothers. Lay counselors can use the StandStrong application during counseling sessions to discuss mothers’ behavioral patterns and clinical progress over the course of a five-week counseling intervention. In the app, GPS data displays as heat maps, proximity data as charts showing the mother and child together or apart, and mothers’ activities as activity charts. We developed the StandStrong Counselor application that visualized passively collected GPS, proximity, and activity data. Methods: This paper describes the development of the StandStrong platform comprising the StandStrong Counselor application, and a cloud-based processing system, which can incorporate any tool that generates passive sensing data. In the Sensing Technologies for Maternal Depression Treatment in Low Resource Settings (StandStrong) project, our aim was to build an mHealth application to facilitate the delivery of psychological treatments by lay counselors caring for adolescent mothers with depression in Nepal. In mental health, these insights can illuminate behavioral patterns, creating exciting opportunities for mental health service providers and their clients to support pattern recognition and problem identification outside of formal sessions. Passive data such as physical activity, Global Positioning System (GPS), interpersonal proximity, and audio recordings can provide valuable insight into the lives of individuals. Background: With the growing ubiquity of smartphones and wearable devices, there is an increased potential of collecting passive sensing data in mobile health. ![]() ![]() Like its DD counterparts, it is most effective when enemies are packed close together to all be hit by the fireballs' splash damage.

The Flameburst Tower in Terraria is a sentry the player can summon by using the corresponding "rod," "cane" or "staff" weapon. Its design develops into a draconic face as it is upgraded in-game. It was renamed to "Flameburst Tower" in this sequel. Its fireballs also travel slower in Vanilla than they do in Redux (or DD:A). As part of the crossover, Dungeon Defenders 2 incorporated some Terraria content as well. Like the Magic Missile Tower, it is not bounded by an attack rate limit, allowing it to shoot 10 times/second or more. This defense is known as the "Fireball Tower" in DD1. Any listed attack rate below 0.2 seconds will not increase the Flameburst Tower's damage/second. This tower is subject to the effective 5 shots/second attack rate limit which it shares with several other defenses.
