10/4/2023 0 Comments Gravity as emergent phenomenaIf two theories are really dual, then no observation can distinguish them: they make exactly the same predictions. The skeptics, though, bring up an important point. ( I’ve made arguments like that in the past too.) Using those theories, they argue that space and time might “break down”, and not be really fundamental. As evidence, they like to bring up dualities where the dual theories have different concepts of gravity, number of dimensions, or space-time. They expect that distances and times aren’t really fundamental, but a result of relationships that will turn out to be more fundamental, like entanglement between different parts of quantum fields. The “spacetime is doomed” crowd think that not just gravity, but space-time itself is emergent. (For the experts: I, like most physicists, am talking about “weak emergence” here, not “strong emergence”.) For example, hydrodynamics, the theory of fluids like water, emerges from more fundamental theories that describe the motion of atoms and molecules. An emergent theory is one that isn’t really fundamental, but instead a result of the interaction of more fundamental parts. If theories with gravity can be described by theories without gravity, does that mean gravity doesn’t really exist? If you’re asking that question, you’re asking whether gravity is emergent. No matter what you observe, neither description will fail. For any question you can ask about the gravitational “bulk” space, there is a matching question on the “boundary”. In these situations, a theory of quantum gravity in some space-time is dual to a theory without gravity describing the edges of that space-time, sort of like how a hologram is a 2D image that looks 3D when you move it. Some of the more popular examples are what we call holographic theories. In physics, sometimes we find that two theories are actually dual: despite seeming different, the patterns of observations they predict are the same. At the heart of the argument is the distinction between two related concepts: duality and emergence. Joined by a few philosophers, they think the “spacetime is doomed” crowd are over-excited and exaggerating the implications of their discoveries. Other, grumpier physicists are skeptical. These physicists believe that what we think of as space and time aren’t the full story, but that they emerge from something more fundamental, so that an ultimate theory of nature might not use space or time at all. They don’t mean this as a warning, like some comic-book universe-destroying disaster, but rather as a research plan. Spacetime is doomed! At least, so say some physicists.

10/4/2023 0 Comments Produce too much salivaMany long-time sax players often just suck the excess moisture from the mouthpiece. The warm moist air coming out of your lungs can fill the reed and mouthpiece with condensation. Professional saxophone players suggest several ways to avoid the sound of a “wet sax.” Keep the Mouthpiece and Reed Dry – Suck Instead of BlowĮxcess moisture in the mouthpiece and reed can cause the “spitty” sound that plagues many saxophonists.

Dampness from the horn seems to be a part of playing the saxophone, like squeaking.Įach saxophonist has their methods to deal with this problem. Most saxophone players understand the problem associated with what many term “ a wet player.” It isn’t uncommon to see some saxophone players with towels strategically located to wipe their hands. 10/4/2023 0 Comments Google play store on kindle fireYou won’t be needing a PC, ADB, or any other such tool that might make the process more complex.

So when I messaged “her” (who knows) today, asking if she picked it up, she suddenly started to insult me, in a rather primitive style, told me I had my chance, should fuck off and that she’s not even in Germany, then blocked me… All the time she was very responsive, super friendly, had pictures of the gear, sent me a copy of the DHL sticker and even a private selling contract. I contacted “her” again and she said she called DHL and she could pick it up on Wednesday (today) and then send it per Express to finally get it done with. Then it said it couldn’t be delivered to the sender. On transit the package got damaged (according to DHL, who I contacted like 5 times, because the package was on its way for over 2 weeks) and was supposedly sent back. They said they’d prefer someone to pick it up, but sold it to me and I got a DHL tracking number as well and their phone number and we talked on WhatsApp. Long story short: bought it off eBay Kleinanzeigen (think German Craigslist) and it seemed VERY legit. (Posted this on FB in the Elektron group and the wonderful Craig Hitchings reminded me to post this here as well, as a warning: if you’re currently browsing for music gear on eBay Kleinanzeigen, be VERY careful and maybe read my story) So… I just got robbed for 850€ when trying to buy an Octotrack MKII ! 10/4/2023 0 Comments Bare eyed cockatoo rescueStar had not been paying attention and was totally bewildered as to how her parents got there. She and Flash answered by flying down to the ramp. I was standing near the food door ramp and asked Bebe if they were ready to go in. At last she worked it out and made a successful two-point touchdown.Īfter an hour of flying and landing on various trees, Bebe and Flash once again landed on the aviary with Star. But landing on it? She made several passes, chirping in confusion, trying to figure out a landing strategy. Landing on perches inside the aviary was a breeze. One comical episode occured when the parents landed on top of their aviary. A minute or two later they took off again, expanding their flight perimeter. After two tries she landed somewhat ungainly on a skinny branch, but land she did. “Oh, oh, now what?” I could imagine Star thinking. Unexpected ChallengesĪfter about four minutes of flight, Flash and Bebe landed on the top of a nearby tree. It brings me much distress that most of those who hand raise parrots seem not to acknowledge the importance of this. Their attentive behavior was an example of the close bond parrot parents have with their chicks. Instead they circled above the aviaries and nearby trees showing her the landmarks from this new perspective of her home. They didn’t abandon her for any reason nor take her off into the wilderness. They never, ever let her out of their sight. The amount of care and concern the parents took looking after Star and guiding her was, quite honestly, an emotional experience for me. 10/3/2023 0 Comments Msi afterburner overlayPlease disable or uninstall overlay features and similar functions within these programs before launching Forza for the best possible gameplay experience.

If GeForce Experience cannot optimize your game, it might be an indication that it is not supported. This should exclude your apps from real-time protection and grant them full access to your system. On the other hand, you can also try including GeForce Experience and your games on your antivirus’ safelist or whitelist. If GeForce Experience is not working correctly on your computer, try turning off your antivirus to avoid issues. Unfortunately, some antivirus becomes too protective and blocks legitimate applications from accessing your resources.

10/3/2023 0 Comments Tekken 6 game videosSome customization can only be obtained by buying a Season Pass, like the Metallic hairstyle and Metallic outfits for characters. The player can also change the color of the chosen customization outfits. Some costumes for each character in the customization mode need to be unlocked using Treasure Battle or the online Tournament mode, including the Rainbow Hairstyle. Previous fighters' outfits can be bought and unique outfits unlocked for new characters. It is lacking in clothing options and hairstyles, but still offers a similar setup. In Tekken 7, the customization isn't as detailed as Tekken 6 and TTT2. Unfortunately, they must be purchased via PlayStation Network. Instead, there are outfits for each character that are also palette swaps of most of their customization from TTT2. In Tekken Revolution, there are virtually no customization options. Moreover, customizations are more like palette swaps of characters' default outfits. There is also some form of a customization mode in Tekken 3D: Prime Edition however, this mode is only enabled after a certain rank is sustained. The international site would become defunct in March 2018, removing any ability to customize or even start a player profile, and the Japanese site would later follow some time after Tekken 7: Fated Retribution: Round 2. The website would feature previews of equippable items, but had the problematic issue of never reflecting custom colors selected. Due to the game's format, customization was done through the online service, Tekken-Net, where players needed to register their Bandai Namco Passport Card before being able to access their player profile to customize their character. Unlike the console version, fight money obtained from Lucky Boxes were raw values given rather than multipliers. When full, there will be a random chance for the players fighting in the current battle to obtain the prize. Additionally, there were "Jackpots", a gauge that increases after every player battle until it reaches 1,000,000 g. In the arcade version, fight money was obtained from clearing any fight though player battles yielded more money than those with CPUs. Decals were added in console versions, though, evidently, this option was removed in the Xbox 360 version, and was not retained in the Wii U version. Additionally, previews for characters with a constantly moving pose like Hwoarang, Eddy Gordo, or Christie Monteiro were now done with the characters standing stationary. Starting from this game onward, tops and gloves as well as bottoms and footwear are now combined into single sets. This game is also said to have one of the better customization modes, similar to Tekken 6, based on the details. On offline mode, special customization items can be unlocked while playing Ghost Battle. In Tekken Tag Tournament 2, fight money can be doubled or tripled due to lucky boxes being received after an online victory. Like the console ports of Tekken 5 reaching certain ranks with characters offline will yield a large amount of fight money. Certain items in the arcade version were also merged in the PSP version such as Hwoarang's jackets and inner shirts or were outright excluded, including some Item Moves. The players can change their costumes within tops, gloves, bottoms, and footwear. It offers a mass option in customization for characters and plays a part in the cosplay aspect with its various decisions. During fights, the player has a chance to obtain a Lucky Roulette, a random roulette game that occurs after any fight, and is indicated by red flashing lights at the bottom of the screen.Īs of Tekken 6, fight money can also be earned from winning online matches. Like Tekken 5, there was no way to preview items purchased until after they had been bought. In the arcade version, players were still locked to a single character and could purchase items during the character select screen. Also exclusively in the console version, reaching certain ranks would yield a large bounty of gold to the player. In the arcade versions, including Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, items were purchased during the Character Select Screen, but there was no way for one to get a preview of the item they purchased.īoth the console Tekken 5 and the PSP version of Dark Resurrection would now rectify the issue by showing off the customization items on the customization screen, though the former would only show the item only after it was purchased. Fighting other players, however, would increase the yield, and a small roulette can occur to award the winning player with extra money. Fight money was first introduced as a small prize after every fight while players were locked to a single character per Tekken 5 Card. 10/3/2023 0 Comments Cardi b max headroomIn July, Cardi B enjoyed another historic moment when Invasion of Privacy's "I Like It" hit No. Invasion of Privacy was already eligible for a Gold certification by the time of its release, thanks to the earlier success of "Bodak Yellow," but within a few days it had already established a new standard for activity on Apple Music, smashing the previous record held by Taylor Swift's r eputation for most streams by a female artist in an album's first week.
