![]() Imagery: Imagery is used to make readers feel things through their five senses. There is one simile used in the last line of the first stanza such as “Like a diamond in the sky.” It shows how the poet has compared the star to a diamond to tell how brightly shines.ģ. Simile: A simile is a device used to compare two different objects using a connector like ‘like’ and ‘as’. She has personified the star in the second last line of the 8th stanza “For you never shut your eye” as if the star is a person who keeps its eyes open and doesn’t go to sleep.Ģ. Personification: Jane Taylor has used a personification that means to show human quality for inanimate objects like a star. The analysis of some of the literary devices spotted in this poem is given below.ġ. The use of literary devices is intended to load the words with different meanings. The analysis of literary devices reveal the latent meanings of this poem. Analysis of Literary Devices in “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” The child further expresses that though he does not know what the star is, he knows that it twinkles. He again repeats the lines, addressing the star that it never shuts its eyes. When the sky is dark, the child says, he sees this star through his curtains from his room. The travelers thank the stars for showing them the right path with its twinkling light. ![]() The child speaks these lines saying the star comes out and twinkle after the blazing sun is gone. Major Themes of the Poem: The poem comprises little thoughts of a young child wondering over the twinkling of the stars that look like diamonds in the sky. However, what stays in the minds of the children, its major audiences, is the music and rhythm.ģ. The expression of wonder given in the first two lines continues throughout the poem asking the star what it is and how far it is from the earth. ![]() ![]() “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star as a Children’s Poem: As this poem is for children, it has been written from the perspective of a young child who wonders and addresses the star directly to ask what it is. There are also various adaptations around the globe.Ģ. Since then, it has become a song sung thousands of times across the globe. The poem, having a perfect rhyme scheme, was originally written for children to sing in a chorus.

It plays an important role in many fields, including biology , cognitive science , artificial intelligence , information theory and philosophy . The concept of semantic information refers to information which is in some sense meaningful for a system, rather than merely correlational. It leads to formal definitions of several concepts that have been intuitively understood to be related to semantic information, including ‘value of information’, ‘semantic content’ and ‘agency’. Our framework is grounded in the intrinsic dynamics of a system coupled to an environment, and is applicable to any physical system, living or otherwise. We also use recent results in non-equilibrium statistical physics to analyse semantic information from a thermodynamic point of view. ‘Causal necessity’ is defined in terms of counter-factual interventions which scramble correlations between the system and its environment, while ‘maintaining existence’ is defined in terms of the system's ability to keep itself in a low entropy state. We define semantic information as the syntactic information that a physical system has about its environment which is causally necessary for the system to maintain its own existence. In this paper, we introduce such a theory. Semantic information plays an important role in many fields, including biology, cognitive science and philosophy, and there has been a long-standing interest in formulating a broadly applicable and formal theory of semantic information. ![]() By contrast, the concept of ‘semantic information’ refers to those correlations which carry significance or ‘meaning’ for a given system. Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information, which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. ![]() 5/17/2023 0 Comments Mixchecker review![]() ![]() The headphones were cheap stock earbuds that come with cell phones and the car audio system was from a system over 10 years old. Upon using these settings, they may sound lofi and degraded, this is because Audified modeled some of the more “worst case” scenarios. Upon researching and talking to the folks at Audified, I was informed of something that changed my perspective. Upon initially using MixChecker, I found that a few of the models sounded a little off. The tablet and laptop speaker settings were OK, but I didn’t find myself using them as much as the other 3 mentioned above. I found the “Classic Studio” monitor to be helpful in targeting mid range balance issues as well but since I do not own a pair of NS10’s cannot attest to the accuracy of the model. The desktop speaker setting was very close to my Logitech speakers I use to check mixes with as well. There were times when I would lose track of which was the cell and which was mix checker. Instantly my speakers sounded eerily similar when switching between the phone and MixChecker, almost like the speakers had shrunk. I am using a set of Focal Solo 6Be speakers so compensation was not being used. I ran an A/B comparison by playing a file on my cell phone and on my Pro Tools system using MixChecker on the Cell Phone setting. Simply click on each icon to experience what Audified considers models of each device. You are given the choice of:Īudified does no go into the specifics of how this is accomplished but it is assumed that phase shifting, EQ, and some impulse responses are at play to emulate these different types of systems. This features 12 different types of common everyday devices in which most audio is being played through. Below the “Compensation” section is the “Simulation” section. To the right of the compensation section is the “Bypass” section which completely disables processing on the plugin. If you are listening through high end monitors it is best to leave this off. This isn’t exact science due to the many different types of monitors and headphones on the market, each having different EQ curves, but it helps. The interface, although a little dated looking, is simple – at the top you have your compensation section that will work to help flatten the frequency response for either 5” mixing monitors, 8” mixing monitors, or headphones. The concept is really straightforward, but is it effective? It is available in AU, VST, and AAX, for both Mac and PC, and uses iLok for registration. MixChecker is a plugin that goes at the end of your mix buss and emulates different common listening devices for consumers, thus eliminating the need to go on a listening world tour to experience how your track sounds in each situation. What if there were a plugin that models these devices and you could monitor all straight from the comfort of your control room without moving from that ergonomic mesh back chair you dropped $300 on? Audified has come up with a solution with “MixChecker”. It’s an extremely nerve wracking process that needs to happen to ensure audio sounds good across all mediums. We constantly worry about how our mixes will translate and spend precious time exporting, emailing files to ourselves, running to the car, listening on the phone, and repeating until you’ve used up storage space on your email and other devices.
5/17/2023 0 Comments Macbook pro turbo boost switcher![]() ![]() ![]() voltageshift write 0x199 0xNEW_DESIRED_VALUE_IN_HEX In my case, the default value for the limited CPU clock is 0x0d00.The returned value is in binary, you will probably want to convert it to hex.Read the current target operating point from the MSR.The first time you run voltageshift, you will have to approve loading the kext and reboot.If you get the failed Apple notarization warning when running voltageshift, start the binary once using Open in the Finder context menu and it should work fine in the terminal after that.Disable signed kext verification by booting in recovery mode and running csrutil enable -without kext in the terminal.Make sure the kext files are owned by root: sudo chown -R root:wheel VoltageShift.kext.Follow the installation instructions carefully: Confirmed to work on Big Sur.ĭisclaimer: Changing settings like these, especially using interfaces as low-level as directly writing MSR registers has a potential to damage your computer. If you want to change this value yourself, follow these steps. You may want to verify that this matches what your machine does before proceeding. However, from what I found online, it seems that the first byte is usually the requested CPU multiplier, and the second byte is always 0. Not expected to use either IA32_PERF_CTL or IA32_PERF_STATUS and should treat both as reserved. The 16-bit encoding that defines valid operating points is model-specific. The Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manual states that: The exact value you need to write does not seem to be officially documented. What did work though was requesting a different Target Performance State Value using the IA32_PERF_CTL (0x199) MSR as suggested in this GitHub comment. You can even set a higher multiplier for increased performance if you wish but I never felt the need.Ĭhanging BD PROCHOT did not seem to work for me on an early 2015 MacBook Air with a missing battery. If you did find it was shutting down you can set the multiplier to a lower number to reduce peak power draw. However this has never happened to me and I've been running it like this almost 24*7 for the last couple of years. This is perhaps the reason Apple set this register on. In theory it is possible that at peak load you could take more power than the power adapter alone can supply resulting in a shutdown. ![]() If you turn off BD PROCHOT and set the multiplier to 25 you can get the 2.5 GHz. As you can see with it set on (as it is by the MacBook firmware) the clock is limited to 1.2 GHz. On Windows however there is a program called ThrottleStop which easily lets you turn off BD PROCHOT. I tried to write an EFI program to do this myself but could not get it to work - see Stack Overflow question How to make changes to msr 0x199 from EFI stick?. This is quite surprising as people facing throttling due to removed batteries is a fairly common issue. This is described in Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 4: Model-Specific RegistersĪlthough there are various macOS utilities to change other MSR (such as Turbo Boost Switcher) I can find no way to turn this one off in macOS. This will cause the CPU to throttle even though it is not itself overheating. The reason for this is that the EFI firmware sets on BD PROCHOT which is a CPU register (msr 0x1FC) usually used to tell the CPU that some other component (GPU or whatever) is overheating. ![]() With Intel Power Gadget you can easily see it. Like you I've no intention of getting a replacement and so in macOS the CPU is now throttled to 1.2 GHz. It has no battery as it swelled too much to fit in the case so I removed it. I have a late 2012 MacBook Pro with a i5-3210 CPU which has a base clock of 2.5 GHz and max Turbo of 3.2 GHz. If you don't want to replace the battery and the programs you want to run are available on Windows that would be the easiest/cheapest option. However it is easy to override the throttling on a MacBook if you use Windows as a OS but not if you run macOS. The CPU throttling due to battery is triggered by the firmware and it doesn't make any difference what version of macOS (or other OS) you are running. ![]() 5/17/2023 0 Comments Silver screen petaluma![]() ![]() They adapted with the times, from VHS to DVD, and then video games, and managed to stay competitive even against large chains like Blockbuster.

The gnome's skill with language allows him to easily keep track of numerous names, but it can wreak havoc with his non-gnome friends. ![]() By the time a gnome reaches adulthood, he's collected an impressive list of names. A gnome receives his first name minutes after childbirth (usually granted by one of the parents), and by the end of the day, the child usually racks up at least a half dozen more. Gnomes don't think of names as unique personal identifiers, a fact that many non-gnomes find particularly frustrating. At least one cleric attends the birth in this antechamber in case difficulties during the birth require magical intercession. Other close family members and friends are not allowed into the birthing chamber during the delivery, reducing possible distractions they wait out the birth in an antechamber. During childbirth, the mother is tended to by her husband and a midwife (typically an alchemist or herbalist). This all changes when the expectant mother reaches the final month of her term.Īt this time, the mother retires to her home to be tended and cared for by her immediate family. A pregnant gnome is assured that her time is always full of fun and entertainment. For the majority of the mother's pregnancy, she enjoys the company of her friends, family, and neighbors, who often visit with gifts and stories.

At this dosage, the urinary concentration exceeds the MICs for most urinary pathogens susceptible to norfloxacin, even when the creatinine clearance is less than 10 mL/min/1.73 m². In patients with a creatinine clearance rate of 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or less, the recommended dosage is one 400-mg tablet once daily for the duration given above. Loxone-400 may be used for the treatment of urinary tract infections in patients with renal insufficiency. Uncomplicated UTI's due to other indicated organisms The recommended daily dose of Loxone-400 is as described in the following chart: Patients receiving Loxone-400 should be well hydrated (see PRECAUTIONS). Tablets Loxone-400 should be taken with a glass of water. Multivitamins, other products containing iron or zinc, antacids containing magnesium and aluminum, sucralfate, or Videx® (Didanosine), chewable/buffered tablets or the pediatric powder for oral solution, should not be taken within 2 hours of administration of norfloxacin. Tablets Loxone-400 should be taken at least one hour before or at least two hours after a meal or ingestion of milk and/or other dairy products. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Loxone-400 and other antibacterial drugs, Loxone-400 should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Repeat culture and susceptibility testing performed periodically during therapy will provide information not only on the therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial agents but also on the possible emergence of bacterial resistance. Therapy with norfloxacin may be initiated before results of these tests are known once results become available, appropriate therapy should be given.
