Now objects are dragged only if mouse click happened inside their collision mask. If ((delta.Length > _dragThreshold || _dragging) & e.LeftButton = MouseButtonState.Pressed)įor your second problem: the button will capture the mouse on the mouse down event. You could do it like this: private const double _dragThreshold = 1.0 This application allows you to do enormous repetitive clicks and drags with various configuration like adjusting speed and duration of clicks. A powerful, fast and yet easy to use automatic mouse click and drag generator. A Powerful and Easy to Use Automatic Mouse Click and Drag Generator. I think a better way to do this (instead of the 100ms delay) would be to specify a minimum threshold of movement above which the dragging will start. Download Auto Mouse Clicker - Super Fast for free. You must handle the case when your button is pushed down but not moved. After I dragged the button, and click anywhere outside the Button and Window control, the PreviewMouseDown and PreviewMouseUp events are raised.When I hold down the mouse button for longer time and release, then the click won't work, because after 100ms the dragging will be active.Private void Button_PreviewMouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) Private async void Button_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)Ĭancellation = new CancellationTokenSource() Īwait Task.Delay(100, cancellation.Token).ContinueWith(task => If (_dragging & e.LeftButton = MouseButtonState.Pressed) Private void Button_PreviewMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) If the time passed, than the button wil be dragging, otherwise it was just a click. Now my idea is: I set a 100ms delay after mouse down. When I only click on the Button, the MouseDown, PreviewMouseDown events or Command binding should raise.Īt first I tried to call the DragMove() on PreviewMouseDown event, but that blocks the click events.When I click and drag the Button, the Button must follow the cursor.I have a borderless, transparent Window with only one Button.

1/26/2024 0 Comments Best audio to text converter![]() This will help ensure everybody is made aware of the key points without them having to go through the entire script. ![]() The great news is that Otter makes it easy for you and other people to highlight important parts of the text. It can be easy to miss important parts of a discussion, especially in long meetings with numerous participants. You can also remove group members from folders if they no longer need access. Simply create a group and add other people to it to give them access to the conversations. Otter makes it easy for you to create new folders so you can keep your transcriptions on your device in an easy to use manner, while you can also grant access to your conversation files with groups of people. Keeping your transcriptions organized is not a problem with Otter, however. If you’re often holding meetings or using an audio to text converter for other reasons, it can become difficult to keep everything organized. Once the meeting is over, the transcription is automatically saved to your Otter account and synced with the cloud. Live transcription created and displayed as the meeting is taking place, and participants can scroll back through the discussion if needed. Closed captioning is essentially subtitles that make it easier for people to follow along. Otter also integrates with zoom to offer live transcription and closed captioning. If notes are kept manually, it is usually necessary to use abbreviations and miss some parts out to allow you to keep up. Another advantage is that Otter can record every word that’s spoken. One obvious advantage of using a real-time audio to text converter is that the transcripts are available almost immediately should they be needed during the meeting itself. Having Otter transcribing for you means you can pay full attention to what is happening in a meeting without having to keep notes, potentially missing what is said. Otter provides transcription in real-time, meaning you don’t have to wait for the audio to be converted into text.
Rebecca Hall as Chubbuck in Antonio Campos’ film Christine. While some said Chubbuck didn’t seem to be experiencing mental health issues, her mother revealed she had suffered from depression, suicidal tendencies and had been under psychiatric care. But the crux of the situation was that she was a 29-year-old who wanted to be married and who wasn’t.” “We had just been through a particularly violent week, with a kidnapping-and-hostage situation, a shootout between some cops and someone else, and these had bumped a couple of her feature stories. “That incident didn’t happen because of our editorial policy,” he told the Ocala Star-Banner in 1977, three years after her death. As her final words suggest, it’s said she “detested” what TV news had spiralled into: a medium that exploited blood to pull in viewers.īut the station’s news director, Mike Simmons, disagreed that was enough to motivate the reporter to do what she did. Police gave Chubbuck’s family the only copy of the tape and they destroyed it.Īt the time of her death, and in the years since, reports have described a conflicted woman. Unlike modern times where off-script moments, no matter how tragic, can be captured and posted online by thousands of users, this footage is impossible to come across. It’s also claimed that an operator in the control room dumped the footage before it aired and instead cut to black before viewers could see Chubbuck open fire. Newspapers at the time describe Chubbuck slumping forward, striking her head on the desk and falling to the floor before cameras cut to black. There are conflicting reports about what happened next. “I think it was a culmination of a lot of things,” her brother, Tim Chubbuck told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune at the time. While both will try to shed light on her motivations, why Chubbuck’s life ended the way it did has never been clear-cut. The documentary Kate Plays Christine follows actress Kate Lyn Sheil as she prepares to play the role of Chubbuck in a film. The struggles the Florida TV news reporter was facing and her motivations for shooting herself that morning in 1974 will be the focus of two new films at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.Īntonio Campos’ Christine, starring Rebecca Hall, follows the final days of Chubbuck’s life and is getting high praise from critics. More than 40 years later Chubbuck’s story continues to fascinate. She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and died. Live on-air, her large, hollow eyes staring down the barrel of a TV camera, Christine Chubbuck said these words before holding a gun to her head and shooting herself. Rather, it's likely to have been caused by untreated mental illness.“IN KEEPING with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living colour, you are going to see another first - attempted suicide.” While all of these things may have led to sadness in her life, it's highly doubtful they were the core reason for her depressive state. She had also had an ovary removed, and doctors told her if she wanted to have children, she would need to try to do so quickly. Her family explained that Chubbuck often complained about still being a virgin and not being married. She was a spinster at 29, and it bothered her. No close friends, no romantic attachments or prospects of any. But she had nothing else in her social life. She said constantly that if it ended tomorrow, she would still be glad she had had it. In it, she talks about her daughter saying: "She was terribly, terribly, terribly depressed. Peg Chubbuck gave an interview to a local newspaper while at the hospital shortly before her daughter's passing. ��On July 15, 1974, Sarasota news anchor Christine Chubbuck fatally shot herself during a live broadcast of her talk-show 'Suncoast Digest' /s3JIsT1kpQ Almost 50 years later and nearly all the questions have yet to be answered, and the video footage itself remains a mystery. ![]() But unlike the ones who would follow in the digital age, the video of Christine Chubbuck taking her life was viewed only by the TV audience and her colleagues at the station, leaving everyone else to wonder what happened. ![]() It was during this time that the first on-air suicide occurred, and the shock was absolute. Such was definitely not the case back in the mid-'70s when just cartoon violence and mild profanity were thought to be a bit too much. From the video Faces of Death to people who took their own lives on TV, there are always those who want to witness the genuine article. The Hollywood version of dying has desensitized most of society to the degree that it shouldn't even be a surprise when videos of the real thing become so popular. Considering the level of violence on TV today, it's no wonder that most people hardly even pause when they hear about murder and mayhem on the local news. 1/26/2024 0 Comments Canon shutter counter 6d![]() Let me elaborate on that to make it more clear.

1/26/2024 0 Comments Stem cell treatment for back painAll the problems can be attributed to the spinal stenosis at C5/C6. I just had my annual eye exam and an endoscopy. Meanwhile, my neck is hurting, and I have a headache that feels like my brain is going to explode with trouble seeing with my glasses on. If I have the surgery, there is a less than 1% chance of something going wrong and I end up paralyzed from surgery. If I don't have surgery to replace the vertebrae, I will get worse until I am paralyzed from the neck down. After a MRI of my cervical spine, the surgeon explained that my lack of balance, falling, lack of gripping with my hands, abnormal hand and arm reflexes, and more is because the arthritis is so bad it is squeezing my spinal cord and causing all the issues I have had for six or so years. I went to a neurosurgeon for low back pain and discovered that all the falling and concussions aren't because of having Meinere's Disease, which I presumed. My whole spine is full of arthritis with neuroforminal stenosis, disc bulges, osteophytes, etc. I was recently diagnosed with moderate cervical spinal stenosis at C5-C6. ![]() ![]() My whole spine is full of arthritis with neuroforminal stenosis, disc bulges, osteophytes, etc. A study published last year (2015) in the scientific journal Stem Cells entitled reported that patients suffering from chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease who were treated by injecting their own bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) into their lumbar discs experienced significant pain reduction 12 months after treatment. ![]() So at the end of the day, the ultimate question we should have is, how is Disney going to pull this pile of clever ditties and insanity into a coherent whole and still retain the magic of the original book? Exactly. Right?! So the books are just insanity laced with mercury, shrouded in laudanum. `Then if the dog went away, its temper would remain!’ the Queen exclaimed triumphantly.Īlice said, as gravely as she could, `They might go different ways.’ But she couldn’t help thinking to herself, `What dreadful nonsense we are talking!’ `Perhaps it would,’ Alice replied cautiously. `The dog would lose its temper, wouldn’t it?’ `Wrong, as usual,’ said the Red Queen: `the dog’s temper would remain.’ `Then you think nothing would remain?’ said the Red Queen. `The bone wouldn’t remain, of course, if I took it - and the dog wouldn’t remain it would come to bite me - and I’m sure I shouldn’t remain!’ Take a bone from a dog: what remains?’Īlice considered. ![]() `I suppose - ‘ Alice was beginning, but the Red Queen answered for her. `Can you do Division? Divide a loaf by a knife - what’s the answer to that?’ `She can’t do Subtraction,’ said the White Queen. `Nine from eight I can’t, you know,’ Alice replied very readily: `but - ‘ `Can you do Subtraction? Take nine from eight.’ `She can’t do Addition,’ the Red Queen interrupted. `What’s one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one?’ `And you do Addition?’ the White Queen asked. `Lessons teach you to do sums, and things of that sort.’ `Manners are not taught in lessons,’ said Alice. ‘I daresay you’ve not had many lessons in manners yet?’ Take for example this snippet from chapter 9, wherein Alice finds herself chatting with the Red Queen and the White Queen: (Alice goes through a mirro, Alice comes out a mirror – duh) But otherwise the stories hardly hold together at all. You see, Looking Glass is less about narrative than it is about little vignettes of insanity. He would tell her stories about incomprehensible Jabberwocky poems as well as philosophical mind job ditties about how the Red King believes everything he perceives to be a dream… including Alice. ![]() This time, instead of logical beginning and endings, he’d tell her stories about time and the insanity of it breaking. I can totally see good ‘ol Lewis Carroll taking the fun he had telling the original stories to Alice Liddell, and the laughter at the illogic of it, and cranking it up to a whole ‘nother level for her. This book is more about logic puzzles and word play than it is about any sort of coherent narrative. If Alice in Wonderland is a 6 on the 10 point trippy scale… Looking Glass is a fullon 27. By walking through the book a bit to refresh your “memory”. Just trying to help you out if you haven’t. I know that a lot of you have said you’ve read Through the Looking Glass… but most of you have not. But Through the Looking Glass? Not as much. Pretty good for adapting into cartoons, movies, picture books, apps… you name it… it’s been done. It culminates in her clash with the Red Queen and it’s an all around exciting book. As she goes she meets the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and a parade of fun characters. Alice falls into Wonderland and spends her time trying to make sense of it, and find her way. There is at least, a semblance of a thread to it. Alice in Wonderland as a book – and source material for a movie – is actually pretty good. We have Alice in some sort of sanitarium? Brilliant. Pink is belting out the White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. See? That could quite possibly be the greatest movie trailer of all time. It was shaping up to be a remake marvel… or was it? There was Alice’s father’s study, there she was in miniature, running across the chess set. This would be a very dark, and very realistic remake, at least at the surface of things. This was not going to be a movie I would be taking my kids to. When the initial trailer came out, I basically peed my pants in excitement. So, whenever anyone (Disney or otherwise) decides to take a stab at redoing (redeuxing?) the books, I really want to take a close look at them. You see, I’m a bit of an Alice fan (read snob) and personally believe that Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass are two of the best books ever written. Mainly my point in reviewing Disney’s latest foray into the Alice in Wonderland universe is solely to look at it through the lens of the original book. I should probably pause a moment, and sort of set expectations here for you a bit. 1/25/2024 0 Comments Smith chart for dummies![]() Testbenches/smith_full_test.py runs various testbenches and gives a comparison for almost all parameters.

The only way this would work is if every country agreed to pause, which I believe is unlikely. And they fear that if they pause, and other countries refuse, they’ll be disadvantaged. No country wants to risk being left behind. There’s also a very real national competitiveness issue. Regardless of whether you think some of these tools went to market too quickly, the technology is out there, everyone’s going to build it, and there’s no going back at this point. To people in tech, the cat is out of the bag. But I think there’s a more pragmatic reason. A jaded view could be that few tech companies signed because they want to make money from generative AI. But it’s interesting to note that the list of signers is heavily skewed toward academics and policymakers, rather than people at the tech companies developing the foundational generative AI models. The letter is making people pause a little and try to understand the context better. Learn how it can disrupt or benefit businesses. Generative artificial intelligence is a form of AI that uses deep learning and GANs for content creation. But this isn’t artificial general intelligence. It enables models to perform countless tasks amazingly well. It turns out, however, that pattern recognition is an incredibly powerful ability. Fundamentally, these are pattern recognition models-they are not learning facts and concepts that they then use to answer questions or carry out tasks. There is a lot of skepticism that generative AI models like ChatGPT are putting us on a near-term path to AGI. Many people have conflated generative AI with AGI. Concerns over AI have traditionally been about artificial general intelligence, or AGI, systems that could someday have the general cognitive ability of humans-and may eventually far exceed them. Part of it, I think, has to do with mistaken identity. Why did ChatGPT inspire such a strong reaction? When this letter came out, with some noteworthy signatories, the topic grabbed even more attention.Īlarms over AI have been raised for years. ChatGPT’s human-like interactions had already caused some people to argue that we should hold on and slow development. Steven Mills: Open AI’s recent release of ChatGPT, which is able to create original content in response to user questions or prompts, has created incredible hype over generative AI. The overarching goal is to strike the right balance between AI experimentation and risk, so organizations can gain the full power of these technologies while avoiding the potential hazards.īCG: Why has the Future of Life Institute letter gotten so much attention? It’s also critical for companies to enact responsible AI practices. The private sector must engage in dialogue with policymakers to inform them of how safeguards can be implemented in ways that allow for both international and commercial competitiveness.Without this knowledge, it will be difficult to regulate these models and mitigate risk. The uses and hidden capabilities of generative AI models are not yet fully understood. For users of generative AI, continued real-world experimentation is important.There are also major real commercial and national competitiveness issues.

That is why it is particularly important to see the features and performance of these devices so you know which is the best e-ink tablet for you. There are a myriad of variants to choose from and it can be quite confusing to find the device to match your demands. And there are some that take a step into art and offer sketching apps such as the reMarkable 2. ![]() Some devices market their audio systems such as Onyx Boox Note Air 2 and Bigme InkNote Color. ![]() But some devices stray away from that standard and go bigger or smaller like Dasung A4 and PocketBook Color respectively. There is a standard of 10.3 inches when it comes to e-ink tablets since that is the size in which PDFs fit well in. E-ink displays are less eye-straining because it does not use the usual LCD display, consume less power so that battery life can last several weeks, and imitates a paper-like surface so you don’t feel as if you are writing on glossy glass. So which one stands out among the rest? Today we’ll find out! What Are the Best E-Ink Tablets?Į-ink tablets have limited features compared with other tablets because they’re essentially upgraded e-readers for users who enjoy reading and handwriting notes and want a better overall experience with zero distractions. E-ink tablets, on the other hand, bring you back to the good old times when paper was king, where you can sit down and pour your heart out with words or drawings without getting distracted by a notification from your favorite game.Į-Ink displays have continually advanced in quality over the years and just like their counterparts, they are getting bigger! There are plenty of available tablets to choose from with various differences in their specs – some focus on faster refresh rate, while others prefer to focus on clarity and color. Smart devices like tablets can be overstimulating with notifications and distractions popping out almost every minute and yet we can’t stray away from them because it undeniably makes life more convenient and opens up a world of possibility for us. |
