![]() Note that OWC which sells SSDs using Sandforce controllers, from day one tried to convince everyone their drives didn't need TRIM (bogus).well now we kind of know why they were saying that. If you have an older drive with a Sandforce controller, you may want to consider upgrading too. To that point (that some SSDs brands are not fault free or were not early on) here it is mid 2015 and even a brand as popular as Samsung EVO, we're still discovering issues. Company X may have a bad SSD that Apple won't use, but it still buys memory chips from X, for example. Publicly, Apple would never issue a list of BAD drives that's not their responsibility, and they have complex relationships with component manufacturers they have to protect. So after testing and finding out the brands they would NOT use in their machines, Apple decided the safe approach was only enable TRIM on the drives that passed their testing. Apple did not want people turning on TRIM with other drives, and then be accused of data loss or issues which were outside of their control, and be BLAMED for it, as people would automatically assume based on their experience with rotational drives that 'it can't be the drive, it must be Apple'. This has been confirmed now in early drives using Sandforce controllers in which live data could be incorrectly marked and deleted by using TRIM. Apple no doubt tested all kinds of brands and manufacturers when deciding who to use in their own machines, and likely found that many had bugs in their implementation TRIM. I've updated without issues.Īs for all the conspiracy theories about why Apple did not enable trim support for non Apple branded SSDs, until now, this is a perfect example. ![]() Read more about this SEPARATE PROBLEM UNRELATED TO THE LINUX PROBLEM HERE:įirmware update is provided as an ISO bootable CD image that will boot Macs or Windows PC., using a Linux micro kernel, that locates and updates the drive. This problem affects the drive regardless of OS, so highly recommended you update the firmware. The latest firmware from Apfixes this by periodically 'refreshing' in the background all the data on the drive to keep the charge strong, even data that isn't accessed. This problem is not OS specific and deals with the actual physical nature of the drive itself. HOWEVER, there is ANOTHER issue with Samsung EVO related to reading data that is 'old' (not been accessed for a long time) where the charge may degrade, requiring multiple attempts to read the data. ![]() Windows and OS X ignore this bit because as of now, they only support 'normal' sequential TRIM, so is unaffected BY THIS ONE PARTICULAR PROBLEM. The incorrect bit says that EVO supports beyond normal sequential queued TRIM commands (it does not) and then Linux attempts to implement (which does support more than sequential) and runs in to problems. One problem, related to the drives having an incorrect bit set that tells the OS what type of NCQ queing command it supports. Not true, there are actually TWO critical issues discovered so far with the EVO drives, one Linux related, the other NOT. Some users are insisting the problem is only with Linux, and you don't need a firmware update. There is a lot of confusion about the multiple issues with the Samsung and the need for firmware update. IF YOU OWN A SAMSUNG EVO OR EVO PRO, 840 OR 850, be sure to install the latest firmware before turning on TRIM support

ONE's Gemini battery will be displayed Sept. “Our goal is to launch the Gemini battery in 2026 with zero cobalt and 26% nickel or less, using manganese as the primary cathode material,” Ijaz said. While the lithium-rich manganese nickel cathodes are still being refined, the current version of the range-extender cells uses cathodes made of nickel, cobalt and manganese.īy eliminating the anode in those cells, ONE says it can slice the cell cost in mass production by $50 per kilowatt-hour - a significant savings over current costs estimated at $100-$110 per kWh. “It has been my long-term aspiration to eliminate both nickel and cobalt,” Ijaz said of two key cathode materials in most current electric vehicle batteries that are more expensive and less sustainable than such common materials as manganese. ![]() The cathodes are designed to use a unique blend of lithium and manganese and a much lower percentage of nickel, while eliminating cobalt, according to Ijaz. While the standard cells use relatively conventional lithium iron phosphate cathodes and graphite anodes, the range-extender cells are anode-free, which eliminates the use of graphite and anode-making equipment. 13-15 at The Battery Show in Novi, Michigan.The secret sauce is in Gemini’s large-format range-extender cells. ONE’s Gemini battery will be displayed Sept.

Ring menu addon classic3/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Trinkets attempting to swap during combat or while dead will queue for when you drop out of combat or return to life.The auto queues work independently of the "trinket ready!" notifications.If you would like the queue to stop sooner (ie, Burst of Knowledge as bottom-most trinket even on cooldown), move the "Stop queue here" mark to where you want the queue to stop. A purely passive trinket will mark the natural end of a queue.Alt+click the slot to turn auto queue back on. Swapping a passive trinket manually in TrinketMenu will stop the auto queue for that slot.If you use some mod to automatically swap in passive trinkets (Carrot on a Stick or Argent Dawn Commission), flag those trinkets 'Pause Queue' to suspend the queue while they're equipped.A red gear on a trinket means the equipped trinket is flagged 'Pause Queue' and auto queue is suspended.A grey gear on a trinket means the equipped trinket has a delay defined and is waiting to swap out.A gold gear on a trinket means that auto queue is active for that slot.If a trinket has a 'Delay' defined, then hold that trinket for its delay before swapping it out.If the currently equipped trinket is ready for use, then do nothing unless a higher-ranked trinket marked 'Priority' is waiting to swap in.If the currently equipped trinket cannot go on cooldown (passive trinkets), equip a higher ranking trinket when it comes off cooldown.If the currently equipped trinket is on cooldown, swap to the first available trinket not on cooldown.A trinket at 30 seconds or less cooldown is considered off cooldown.It was (hopefully) made to be intuitive enough to use without instructions, but if wondering about specifics: In options you can sort a trinket slot to the order you want trinkets equipped, turn on Auto Queue for that slot (Alt+Click the trinket on the bar or check the tab in options), and the mod will automatically swap trinkets as they're used and come off cooldown. Or make a key binding for either trinket.ģ.0 introduces auto trinket queues to TrinketMenu. Left or Right click either trinket to use them. Right click a trinket in the menu to equip it to the bottom trinket slot. Left click a trinket in the menu to equip it to the top trinket slot. Mouseover on either trinket will display a menu of up to 30 trinkets in your bags to swap. It will display your two equipped trinkets in a bar. This is a mod to make swapping trinkets easier.

Meridian hill park3/3/2023 ![]() The NPS will also update storm drains and inlets. This archway, which was part of the original landscape design, will frame the distant view of the Washington Monument. The park will install a frame that will allow trees to be trained and trimmed to form an archway, known as a pleached allée. The NPS will replace hazardous trees and restore shrubs to reflect the park’s historic landscape plan. The NPS will also install a universally accessible route from 16th Street NW to the lower plaza level of the park. The project includes replacement and repair of damaged historic walls, walkways and stairs to improve safety and preserve historic architectural elements of the park. Meridian Hill Park features one of America’s earliest examples of decorative exposed aggregate concrete. ![]() ![]() This project focuses primarily on the lower plaza level of the park, near W Street NW, and is expected to be completed in summer 2022. Today, that coalition has expanded city-wide to become Washington Parks & People, based in the grand Josephine Butler Parks Center across the street from the park.The National Park Service (NPS) will start work to improve accessibility and rehabilitate the historic landscape at Meridian Hill Park this month.

Ghostcontrol inc wiki3/3/2023 ![]() ![]() In 2018, nearly all of the twenty-eight French companies listed in the Fortune Global 500 were based in the Île-de-France. The Île-de-France region alone accounts for 5% of the European Union's GDP, for only about 2.7% of the Union's population. It has the highest per capita GDP of any French region and the third highest of any region in the European Union. The Paris region is Europe's richest region with a GDP (PPP) at over $1 trillion, ahead of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and Greater London in the United Kingdom. The GDP of the region in 2021 was US$984 billion at market exchange rates. Residents are sometimes referred to as Franciliens, an administrative word created in the 1980s. In 1976, when its status was aligned with the French administrative regions created in 1972, it was renamed after the historic province of Île-de-France. It was created as the "District of the Paris Region" in 1961. The region is made up of eight administrative departments: Paris, Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, Val-d'Oise and Yvelines. Île-de-France is densely populated and retains a prime economic position on the national stage: though it covers only 12,012 square kilometres (4,638 square miles), about 2% of metropolitan French territory, its estimated 2020 population of 12,997,058 was nearly one fifth of the national total its economy accounts for nearly one third of the French gross domestic product. ![]() Centred on the capital, Paris, it is located in the north-central part of the country and often called the Région Parisienne ( pronounced English: Paris Region).

Kernel density estimation3/3/2023 The following code numerically illustrates the difference between \(\tilde K\) and \(K\) for the Epanechnikov kernel. Some times binned estimation leads to negative density values: if non-negative values are required, then set densityTRUE. The default value of the binning flag binned is n>1 (d1), n>500 (d2), n>1000 (d>3). 1.4 \(O_\mathbb(z)Īs a consequence, a normalized kernel \(\tilde K\) with a given bandwidth \(h\) (for example, the one considered in density’s bw) has an associated scaled bandwidth \(\tilde h\) for the unnormalized kernel \(K.\) This makes kernel estimators feasible for large samples.1.1.4 Random vectors, marginals, and conditionals.Each discrete point in our sample is replaced by an extended probability distribution. 1.1.2 Cumulative distribution and probability density functions A standard approach involves kernel density estimation (KDE).The kernel density estimate is defined to beį ^ H ( x ) = 1 n ∑ i = 1 n K H ( x − x i ). , x n be a sample of d-variate random vectors drawn from a common distribution described by the density function ƒ. The previous figure is a graphical representation of kernel density estimate, which we now define in an exact manner. In the details to follow, we show that this approach leads to a reasonable estimate of the underlying density function. Aggregating the individually smoothed contributions gives an overall picture of the structure of the data and its density function. In kernel density estimation, the contribution of each data point is smoothed out from a single point into a region of space surrounding it. The goal of density estimation is to take a finite sample of data and to make inferences about the underlying probability density function everywhere, including where no data are observed. The bandwidth specifies how far out each observation affects the density estimate. With the KDE created, it is possible to create orthogonal polynomial chaos expansions directly. The estimated distribution is taken to be the sum of appropriately scaled and positioned kernels. Kernel density estimation Data driven chaos expansion. The coloured contours correspond to the smallest region which contains the respective probability mass: red = 25%, orange red = 50%, yellow orange red = 75%, thus indicating that a single central region contains the highest density.Ĭonstruction of 2D kernel density estimate. Kernel density estimation (KDE) is a method for estimating the probability density function of a variable. The most striking difference between kernel density estimates and histograms is that the former are easier to interpret since they do not contain artifices induced by a binning grid. The result of summing these kernels is given on the right figure, which is a kernel density estimate. In the left figure below, a kernel (represented by the grey lines) is centred at each of the 50 data points above. One possible solution to this anchor point placement problem is to remove the histogram binning grid completely. The first kernel density estimator is based on the Epanechnikov kernel given by Eq. Both histograms have a bindwidth of 0.5, so differences in appearances of the two histograms are due to the placement of the anchor point. In other words, kernel density estimation, also known as KDE, helps us to. Histogram with anchor point at (−1.625, −1.625). Kernel density estimation is a useful statistical method to estimate the overall shape of a random variable distribution. Histogram with anchor point at (−1.5, -1.5). The left histogram appears to indicate that the upper half has a higher density than the lower half, whereas the reverse is the case for the right-hand histogram, confirming that histograms are highly sensitive to the placement of the anchor point. Each conflict event observed on the ground is interpreted as a random realization of this process and its underlying distribution is estimated using kernel. The colour-coding indicates the number of data points which fall into a bin: 0=white, 1=pale yellow, 2=bright yellow, 3=orange, 4=red. ![]() Both histograms have a binwidth of 0.5, so any differences are due to the change in the anchor point only. For the histogram on the left, we choose (−1.5, −1.5): for the one on the right, we shift the anchor point by 0.125 in both directions to (−1.625, −1.625). This requires the choice of an anchor point (the lower left corner of the histogram grid). We take an illustrative synthetic bivariate data set of 50 points to illustrate the construction of histograms. 8 Objective and data-driven kernel selection.6 Density estimation with a diagonal bandwidth matrix.5 Density estimation with a full bandwidth matrix.

Bbc arabic livestation3/3/2023 ![]() Those ads don’t have to be simple text or image links, either – they can be video ads, too, much like what you would see on TV. They can then also serve ads within the app itself, if the broadcaster so chooses. The revenue model he is referring to is the one where iPhone and iPod Touch users purchase the mobile applications built using the Livestation iPhone technology platform in the iTunes App Store. “Once other broadcasters see the immediate business benefits of the revenue model we are offering… we expect usage to increase.” While both of these news applications offer TV streams from stations that Livestation is already partners with by way of their live TV desktop application, the company’s iPhone streaming solution represents “just the tip of the iceberg,” claims Livestation CEO Matteo Berlucchi. Already a content partner, NASA’s iPhone app has a description that reads: “Update Coming that adds Live NASA Public TV streaming to your device.” Around the corner, NASA may also be launching a live TV streaming application using Livestation’s technology. As with BBC News, the live TV channel is available over both Wi-Fi and 3G. In the U.S., Livestation also began offering Al Jazeera English Live (iTunes link) last month, a live TV application built using the same technology. Akamai’s CDN steps in to help Livestation scale these streams to the millions of iPhones worldwide. European viewers can watch the news over two types of streams provided by the app: either a 96 K stream on 3G and Edge networks or a higher-quality 300 K stream delivered over Wi-Fi. This iPhone application delivers live TV news to viewers in 16 European countries but is sadly not available in the US as of yet. ![]() Livestation quietly launched their first mobile application streaming live content over a month ago with the release of BBC World News, which debuted in June 2009.
