The batman whi laughs6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It's especially cool, because it embraces what should be done with this character more often. At first I was confused, as I was supposed to be, then I realized it was an alternate universe Batman left by the Batman Who Laughs, which is a reall y cool idea. I have to admit, the opening chase scene was pretty awesome. Yeah, this part had that same kind of feeling. You know in a horror movie, when something really happy, almost too happy, happens, and you think, oh no, something's gonna go wrong. It was well-written, but most of all, it felt really foreboding in a strange kind of reverse psychology way. I'm glad to see them working together on a miniseries again. THE GOOD: -I love Jock's art, especially with Scott Snyder's writing. I have no idea where the story is going and despite my qualms with the art direction, the foundation for this story is solid. There appears to be a potential Batman/Joker team-up looming. Beyond the gripes, the premise is unique and interesting. While reading I kept getting the feeling that an artist like Bill Sienkiewicz would absolutely crush this. The book is creepy but the atmosphere doesn't feel as creepy as it could be. The colors are all washed out which combined with the pencils lead to bland aesthetic throughout the issue. It could grow on me depending on the direction of the series. The knock on the comic is the art direction. This is a lot of action and actual detective work on Batman's part which is a good sign for the series. There's a twist and the comic ends on a huge cliffhanger and a lot of questions going forward. Upon returning to the Batcave Batman finds the Joker s towed away. ![]() Fortunately for Joker, he escaped a couple days prior and the stand in within the cell was murdered. While the investigation is happening there an attempt on the Jokers life in Arkham. Upon investigation, Bruce comes to the conclusion that the Batman Who Laughs has returned. In the aftermath of the scene, Batman finds a corpse of himself. The comic opens with Batman in the middle of breaking up a heist. ![]() The "experiment" works: Batman snaps and finally crosses the line, murdering Joker – but that dark act comes at a terrible cost.The Batman Who Laughs is the highly anticipated series from Scott Snyder & Jock which focuses on the Batman turned Joker from Dark Knights Metal. The comic is entertaining but I couldn't help but feel that this one doesn't quite live up to the hype. In that timeline, Batman suffers a horrific loss to his nemesis The Joker, in which the psycho clown abducts Batman and forces him to witness horrific events, like murdering the parents of a group of hostage children and infecting all the kids with a new experimental Joker Toxin. The Batman Who Laughs is Bruce Wayne/Batman of Earth -22, a region of the Dark Multiverse. The Batman Who Laughs is a recent creation of DC Comics, who made his debut in the 2018 "Dark Nights: Metal" event.

The intuitive interface allows the softwareto grow with you as you gain astrological skill and knowledge. You get an interactive view of natal, transit, progressed andcompatibility charts. TimePassages Advanced Edition is perfect for beginners as well asprofessional astrologers, such as Rob Brezsny, Alan Oken, AnteroAlli, Lyn Borsodi, and many others who use TimePassages to do theirastrological work. TimePassages is especially designed for users interested inastrology who want to calculate and interpret transits, displaynatal midpoints and calculate Solar Arc progressions. "AI-based screening is an opportunity to alter the trajectory of pancreatic cancer, an aggressive disease that is notoriously hard to diagnose early and treat promptly when the chances for success are highest," he concluded.TimePassages is a user-friendly astrologysoftware that allows you to quickly and easily create accuratebirth charts and read point-and-click interpretations. "Many types of cancer, especially those hard to identify and treat early, exert a disproportionate toll on patients, families and the healthcare system as a whole," said Søren Brunak, professor of disease systems biology and director of research at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at the University of Copenhagen, a co-senior investigator of the study, said in a statement. Still, the team believes that as the technology improves and operating costs decrease, AI could become a valuable screening tool in the future. ![]() The actual clinical tests to see early signs of cancer or to detect cancer when it is still very small are costly, much more expensive than for example mammograms," Sander added. The training is what consumes considerable computing resources. "Once a surveillance program is implemented, the actual computing costs for applying the software are moderate. Improvements are needed before even a trial can be conducted. The study is still in its early stages, and the software cannot yet be used to run screening programs. So local approval and data security is essential," Sander said. Access in different locations is not straightforward, as medical records are and should be confidential. "Given the experience in Denmark and one or two US health systems, this means that in each country with different conditions and different systems, it is best to re-train the model locally. A model trained on data from Danish patients, for example, was not as accurate when applied to US patients. Future AI-based screening tools for pancreatic cancer will have to be trained on specific local population data, the study found. "AI on real-world clinical records has the potential to produce a scalable workflow for early detection of cancer in the community, to shift focus from treatment of late-stage to early-stage cancer, to improve the quality of life of patients and to increase the benefit/cost ratio of cancer care," the paper reads.Įffective prediction in real-world settings will rely on the quality of patients' medical histories. The model is less accurate when trying to predict pancreatic cancer over longer time intervals compared to shorter ones, and for patients younger than 50. The most effective model, based on a transformer-based architecture, showed that out of the top 1,000 highest-risk patients over 50, about 320 would go on to develop pancreatic cancer. ![]() Researchers teach AI to pinpoint mutations linked to cancer.Scientists develop AI algorithms to hunt for cancer-fighting antibodies.Hospital to test AI 'copilot' for doctors that jots notes on patient care.Boffins develop AI model for designing proteins to make synthetic blood plasma."But it is early days for this, and while the AI system can make reasonably accurate predictions, it cannot, or not currently, identify mechanisms or causative events. Like often in science, correlation is useful for prediction, but causation is much harder to establish," he said. ![]()

Blokus online game6/12/2023 ![]() What do you play? There are three good options. Suppose you are yellow, and it is your turn. ![]() Not only do you anger the Builder you are playing with, but you also leave yourself open for another block. There is certainly a place for that in this game, but often when you Block. You may be thinking, but the game is called Blokus, shouldn’t I be trying to block? You do this by playing pieces so that your corner and the opponents corners are touching, allowing you both to play off of the connection. As you can see below. Builder vs Blockerīlokus works best if you play as a builder. My wife, Mallory, pointed this out to me, but if you don’t play your 5 tiles first, you end up running out of space for them later. You may be tempted to stay close to home. After playing a few times, this will be natural. Get into the middle, and into other peoples areas quickly. Block conservatively (Blocker Strategy).The game is called Blokus, so you are naturally going to want to be a Blocker, and knock down opponents towers, but a straight blocking strategy will impede your own ability to create as a Builder.Īre you a Builder or a Blocker? To win this game, you need to be both. These two needs affect your Blokus strategy. The desire to create then second, the desire to feel in control. There are two different intrinsic needs happening here. Sometimes he ends up knocking over their towers because of it. Isaac (4) can’t compete with the older kids.

Player count is now between 60 and 90 players per lobby. Changed the map size back to 600圆00 to lower the chance of spawning in someones land.Fixed two players being able to kill the same player at once. ![]() Fixed dying after having just killed another player.wext mobile update will have support for teams :) Opening a #team url or a url with an #animal in it now asks if you want to open the app on mobile devices.Fixed not being able to connect to a team server when starting a game too quickly after creating a team.Removed the letters L and i from team urls because they look too much like each other.Holding an arrow key while pressing another arrow key now remembers your direction.If you're the creator of the game you'll get fancy goggles.Added an ugly mode toggle to the home screen.When opening a team url on a mobile browser, the page will ask to redirect to the app since the app now has team mode support.You can now toggle leaderboard visibility using the 'o' key.Fixed an issue that would break servers entirely, causing a 'Couldn't connect' error to appear whenever you tried to join.Fixed #animal names of servers changing every minute.Fixed an issue where other players would have a ghost trail while they were in their own land.Fixed keys getting stuck when holding them and clicking away the focus from the browser window.Fixed being able to kill yourself by pausing and then moving in the opposite direcion (making a 180 degree turn).Fixed 'o' key toggling leaderboard even in the login screen.This way desktop players are able to play cross platform with mobile players.
