(Just imagine the quality of a pair of KT88s in a phone - never going to happen outside your imagination. The amp is going to limit the quality more than the apps will. Sync your iTunes playlists, ratings, DRM-free video and more to your Android phone with doubleTwist Sync. The apps called, quite appropriately, iTunes Radio Recorder, and it circumvents Apples DRM by turns your Android phone into an AirPlay device - not literally, mind you, the app on your phone. So do all music players running on a device not really designed to produce audiophile-quality music play back the same? There are probably small differences, but you probably couldn't tell the difference between the audio fed into the phone from a turntable playing brand new vinyl and a good digital recording of the same record no matter which app you used. Add to that the fact that the sampling rate on playback is probably no more than 96KHz, and you have even less quality. Transfer your iTunes music library from your Windows PC to your Android device with doubleTwist Sync. (The difference between a great violinist and someone fiddling isn't going to be too apparent on a phone, even with the best headphones. Sync your iTunes playlists, ratings, DRM-free video and more to your Android phone with doubleTwist Sync. The one thing I will say is that the amplifiers in most (maybe all) phones lack almost everything in the ability to handle a wide dynamic range, and the high frequency end isn't that high, so waveforms get distorted. Poweramp has always been a good player, but with my ears cutting off at 4KHz these days (about 110db loss from there and going down as the frequency goes up), I couldn't tell the difference between a live orchestra and 5cm speaker as far as audio quality goes, so I can't try them out to give you a personal opinion. It's what the players do to that signal that changes what you hear. Then start the radio broadcast and everything will be automatically recorded in the music folder as Recorder. Since the music is recorded and played back digitally, there's no difference in the quality of the basic playback. How doubleTwist AirPlay Recorder works To record any broadcast, you have to select the dT Recorder option from iTunes' AirPlay menu.

It should be no surprise now that we've walked through the math that it is always best to click in a corner to maximize the chances that a cascade will occur. Plugging these numbers into formula reveals these probabilities: Level (Only three touching squares for a corner click, and five touching squares for an edge click).Ĭlassic Minesweeper has three default difficulty settings: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. Similarly, if we click on a corner or edge we can see that the calculations are similar, but this time there are less touching squares. The probability that a hole is created when a click is made in the middle of the board is therefore: Mathematically, we need to AND all these probabilities together, which we do by multiplying them. We can carry this on around all eight touching squares. The probability that the second touching cell is an empty cell is therefore: ( N - M - 2) / ( N - 2) It's not hard to see that the denominator changes to N - 2 (There are now two less unidentified squares on the grid), and the numerator changes to N - M - 2 (There are two less possible empty spaces). If the center cell is empty, and the first touching cell is empty, then the probability that the second touching square will also empty can be calculated. The probability that the first touching cell is also an empty cell is therefore: ( N - M - 1) / ( N - 1) (Where M is the total number of mines in the puzzle.) If there are N squares in the grid, then, because we've already exposed one cell, there are N - 1 squares left, and the number of empty squares (not mines) is N - M - 1 We now need to calculate the probability that the first touching square is also an empty space. We already know that the first click square is going to be an empty space (our freebie). To create an exposed blob, we need all the squares around the square we click to also be empty spaces. Let’s do the math … Probability of a blank space Using the criteria that we want the first click to be a click that Maximizes the chances that we click on a square entirely surrounded by other blank spaces, where is the best place to click? A Corner, an Edge, or a Middle square? Where is the best place for your first click? No matter how ridiculously dense the board, if your first click would have landed you on a bomb, the program swaps this bomb with a blank space. Windows Minesweeper always allows makes your first click safe. If you click on a square that is entirely surrounded by safe areas, then minesweeper automatically ‘clicks’ on these areas and the region expands. When starting a game, ideally, what you’d like to see happen is to have a nice large blob open up so that you can walk around the edge, just like in the image below. This requires opening up the board as fast as possible. When you lose a coin flip, the result is that you’re usually very eager to start a new game and get invested into the next game very quickly. There’s no way to find any additional information to disambiguate. For example, in the image to the right, either of the top two squares could be a mine. It’s not hard to expose a situation where it is a coin toss as to the exact location of a mine. Minesweeper is a great little game and the only annoying part is that, sometimes, you have to guess in order to continue. I’m sure everyone has wasted a few hours playing Minesweeper on earlier version of Windows. You want it to always explain it and help them learn - that’s an example of the kind of system you should be able to build ,” Brockman said. “If you’re building an AI-powered tutor, you never want the tutor to just give an answer to the student. (With over a million users, that presumably adds up quickly.)īut Brockman says that gpt-3.5-turbo is improved in other ways. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once called ChatGPT’s expenses “eye-watering,” estimating them at a few cents per chat in compute costs. The initial motivation behind developing gpt-3.5-turbo might’ve been to cut down on ChatGPT’s gargantuan compute costs. Snap, Quizlet, Instacart and Shopify are among the early adopters. Priced at $0.002 per 1,000 tokens, or about 750 words, Brockman claims that the API can drive a range of experiences, including “non-chat” applications. “I think it’s kind of this, like, just being able to meet the demand and the scale.”īrockman says the ChatGPT API is powered by the same AI model behind OpenAI’s wildly popular ChatGPT, dubbed “gpt-3.5-turbo.” GPT-3.5 is the most powerful text-generating model OpenAI offers today through its API suite the “turbo” moniker refers to an optimized, more responsive version of GPT-3.5 that OpenAI’s been quietly testing for ChatGPT. “It takes us a while to get these APIs to a certain quality level,” Brockman said. He spoke with me yesterday afternoon via a video call ahead of the launch of the ChatGPT API. That’s according to Greg Brockman, the president and chairman of OpenAI (and also one of the co-founders). And it made a bigger move today, introducing an API that’ll allow any business to build ChatGPT tech into their apps, websites, products and services.Īn API was always the plan. It took a step toward this with the launch of a premium service, ChatGPT Plus, in February. And it’s credited with co-authoring at least one scientific paper.īut OpenAI, being a business - albeit a capped-profit one - had to monetize ChatGPT somehow, lest investors get antsy. It’s been used to write hundreds of e-books in Amazon’s Kindle store. It’s attracted major media attention and spawned countless memes on social media. To call ChatGPT, the free text-generating AI developed by San Francisco-based startup OpenAI, a hit is a massive understatement.Īs of December, ChatGPT had an estimated more than 100 million monthly active users. Returns a list of all read tag fields and their values that are stored in the file. Use MP3TAGAPP for the app directory and MP3TAGAPPDATA for the configuration directory paths. Returns the value of the environment variable x. Integer arithmetic only, operations support up to 64 arguments. Returns true if x or y (or any additional argument given) is true. Returns true if x is less than or equal to y. Returns true if character x is a decimal number. If string a is longer than number b, x is returned, otherwise y. If number a is greater than number b, x is returned, otherwise y. If x is true, x is returned, otherwise y. If x is true, y is returned, otherwise z. Returns true if x is greater than or equal to y. If x and y are strings, they’re compare case-insensitively. Functions with variable parameter count (e.g., $replace) are limited to |: replaced by the string y. This implies that you can enclose parameters in ' to pass them as raw text without parsing. Note that characters with special functionality apply. Nesting of scripting functions is also possible. Wherever a string parameter can be used, a generating format string can be used and is evaluated before being passed as parameter to the scripting function. These functions offer advanced display and converting options and are to be used in combination with format strings and placeholders. By separating them, I make it possible for Windows to list all my music files by Artist, alphabetically, etc.Īnyway.that's the approach I take and this works for me.Mp3tag offers various built-in scripting functions, which can be used at various places in the program. I find Windows Explorer to be the easiest.I just rename the file with whatever data I want reflected and I separate the artist from the song title by a space/dash/space. So what I do is simply delete the filename as it came to me.and create my own filename, using any number of tools. I find that.taking out the dashes/parentheses/mispellings, etc.is awfully annoying to me. mp3 becomes tagged as The Ulraviolence with Joe Stump reflected as the artist by whatever player I am using. Example: Filename: The Ultraviolence - Joe Stump. It can do all sorts of things that I am not interested in.but I use it simply to go from the filename to create a tag which reflects the same info as the filename. The one I use for renaming tags (I could use it for renaming files, too) is Mp3tag. There are a zillion programs which allow you to rename/retag music files.you have to find one which you like and understand how to use. The two do not have to be the same.but they can be the same and I like for mine to be one and the same. It's important to remember that a music file really has 2 lists that you should be concerned with.the file name, which is what you see if you look at the file in Windows or Explorer view.and the tag, which is what the player will see and use for various purposes. Well.there are a couple of tools that I use Moved from Tips/Tricks to Audio/Video Software - Hamluis. I would really like to reduce the metadata clutter.Įdited by hamluis, 05 November 2015 - 07:19 PM. So, instead of trying to rename each track individually I would like to find a way to bulk rename them to a simple label format that will display nicely when listening to my music collection.Īll the lines, dashes, underscores, dots are not necessary and not good viewing. I've used Audials to download tracks and before I could figure out how to get it to label the tracks the way I want I have a lot labeled the way Audials default likes to. "01 Title.wav" (for file) and "Title" for metadata title. I would like to keep the names of the files and metadata info but lose the dashes (-), underscores (_), dots (.), etc plus lose the lower case titles and convert them to upper case titles.Įxample_title-year.wav (file name), title-year.wav (metadata) change to. I would like to know if there is a way to batch rename music files, folders and what not?
For the Internet Explorer version, which uses a program running on the PC rather than a browser plugin, it creates a PC folder mirror in C:\Users\user\Favorites. It is available for most browsers, Opera and Vivaldi being the current exceptions for which you can use Martin’s export/import method. I could potentially add more syncing if I really wanted to just using FFS like form history and even cookies.īTW – I have not tried syncing bookmarks … BRB … Oh yeah. I just found it an easy way to sync the stuff that changes a lot such as my speed dial, site prefs etc. never had any issues, because I’ve been VERY selective and aware of any pitfalls. My ScrapBook X directory is the same folder for both browsers so no need to sync that. I would have considered syncing adblockplus and element helping hider etc – but PM being an ass has caused adblockplus issues. I don’t need to sync cookies/dom/history/downloads/form-history and a whole heap of other stuff because that’s either all wiped on close in both browsers or blocked in the first place (eg I only allow about 12 sites to set a cookie). I don’t need to sync passwords (because only FF is set to keep them). I do keep the extensions up to date, but with PM lagging behind in versioning now, some FF installed extensions are higher versions (and this could cause problems). Both browsers do NOT have the exact same extensions or indeed, quite the same degree of security/privacy.

Their first major national hit, “Just Like Me” (U.S. Their hits from this period included “Kicks”, “Hungry” and “Good Thing”. By mid-1967, they were Columbia’s top-selling rock group.Ĭhanging tastes in the late 1960s soon rendered the group unfashionable, but they still continued to have modest hits through the rest of the decade. In 1970, they shortened their name to The Raiders, and even had a number one hit with “Indian Reservation” in 1971 (the title track from their then-current LP), a song which was buoyed by Revere’s promotional gambit of riding cross-country four times to plug the song. By 1972, Columbia was sinking money into newer acts, and none of their subsequent singles reached the Top 40. The band was relegated to oldie act status, playing state fairs and amusement parks. Mark Lindsey left the band in 1975, effectively ending the classic Raiders period. Revere would continue to tour with the Raiders for many years, although no new Raider material was recorded after 1976.Ĭover art for Linus of Hollywood's "A Girl That I Like". Kevin Dotson (born March 4, 1973) was born in Omaha, Nebraska and spent his formative years in Florida. He learned to play guitar at age five, and later learned to play bass, drums, and piano. When Dotson was twenty-one, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. By mid-1995, he formed the punk-pop band Size 14 (named after his shoe size). This band released an well-received album on Volcano Records in 1997. When the band broke up in 1998, Dotson began his solo career. He released his first solo album, “Your Favorite Record”, in August 1999. The album was recorded in Dotson’s bedroom recording studio and was held in high regard by most critics. His second album, “Let Yourself Be Happy” (2001), was generally not received as favorably as his first album, but received mostly favorable reviews. Dotson turned to production, producing such artists as Paul Gilbert, Bowling for Soup and Charlatans U.K. In October 2006, he released his third album, “Triangle”. He followed it up with two compilation albums: “Attractive Singles” (2008), which combined previously released tracks with some new ones and “Reheat and Serve” (2008), which contains twelve previously unreleased tracks. His next release was “A Girl That I Like”, a digital single released in March 2011. “A Girl That I Like” delivers what we have come to expect from Dotson: a delicately beautiful melody, accompanied by guileless lyrics: “There’s a girl that I like/ And she’s coming by at 12/Until then I’ll be countin’ down the time/And we’ve kissed a few times/I’m not sure what it means/But ever since, she’s always on my mind”. Dotson claims he wrote the song for a girlfriend, who once texted him, asking, “What are you doing?” He replied “I’m texting with a girl that I like”, and proceeded to use that as the title for a song, which he wrote in about fifteen minutes.
The file is converted with the setting used at capture time, making this less useful. Similar to Adobe Organizer, you can sort, rate, tag, and browse files that can then be edited in PhotoPlus X2.Īlthough the program will open RAW files from some cameras, editing RAW data prior to conversion is not supported. Included with PhotoPlus X2, although not reviewed here is Albums Plus, a program that organizes all your media files, including images, video, and sound. Clicking Browse opens a fairly standard File Open dialog that has been optimized for graphics with Name, Date, Tags, Size, and Ratings sort options (Figure 3). Choosing the Open Saved Work option gives you a list of recent images along with a thumbnail view of the selected file (Figure 2). While the presets are nice, you will usually begin by selecting an existing image. The different Categories available offer presets that are appropriate for that type of image – for example, selecting Web gives you a number of standard screen sizes and sets the resolution to 96 ppi, while selecting Photo defaults to 10x8 at 300 ppi. Selecting either of the Create options opens a dialog box to set the image size and type. You're asked which of several common tasks you'd like to perform. Ease of UseĪs you can see in Figure 1, PhotoPlus X2 looks similar to Photoshop Elements when you first launch. Once you start to delve into the program though, the advanced features available in PhotoPlus X2 are a pleasant surprise. At first glance, the £59.99 / $79.99 price tag would place it in the entry level group, and some of the guided How To features would lead one to think this is just a basic offering. Serif PhotoPlus X2 is just such an application. Some make it easy to classify – Adobe Photoshop Elements is obviously the lightweight cousin of Photoshop CS, but others are more difficult to classify. With the features that are becoming common in many of these applications, I define entry level more by price and ease of use than by feature set. There is no shortage of entry-level image editing programs available, especially on the Windows platform. The only non-Legenday champion that has Team Counterattack Buff.

Every server has a different 'meta' team than others. It's like a puzzle that you need to solve. This game is based on heroes and team comps countering each other. There's no such thing as 'best team' in Hero Wars. For example, there's no tank hero in Progress, so you'll have to use something else. Almost every faction has weaknesses that you will need to cover with a hero from a different faction. Factions are not the only way to go, they are just another option when it comes to team building. With that being said, old synergies are still viable. It is true that the meta started to shift since factions were introduced. But, of course, that doesn't mean much, as future updates and new hero releases will change that balance. Most would agree that Eternity is the best faction at the moment, and Chaos a close second.
