![]() ![]() The deal will see MosaicML become a part of the Databricks Lakehouse Platform, providing generative AI tooling alongside the Databricks’ existing multicloud offerings, which include integration, storage, processing, governance, sharing, analytics and AI-related services. In that context, Databricks got a steal here. Notably, its last investor-round valuation was just $222 million - meaning it’s leaped 6x with this exit, a remarkable price that really does underscore just how frothy the AI market is right now, as well as the demand for talent and tech in the space.įrothy, but only relatively speaking, considering that competitor OpenAI was valued at upwards of $40 billion in its last round from Microsoft. Prior to this, MosaicML had raised just under $64 million from investors that included DCVC, AME Cloud Ventures, Lux, Frontline, Atlas, Playground Global and Samsung Next. Today, Databricks announced it will pay $1.3 billion to acquire MosaicML, an open source startup with neural networks expertise that has built a platform for organizations to train large language models and deploy generative AI tools based on them.

![]() “Oh, Wait a min… Jockstra… It’s you isn’t it, you cowardly little runt?! When I get a hold of you, I am gonna gut you like a fish and drink your blood, You cowardly little runt!”īart made this prank call trying to cheer up Lisa. When Homer reassured him, Moe also claimed that he'll find the guy responsible for the calls that he frequently tried to get the caller's name, but he kept changing his name. Brockman didn't realize he'd been had until he said the caller's name on the air. This prank was later reused by drunken fraternity boys in a prank call to Kent Brockman about a fight in Springfield involving a giant lizard. I swear I'm going to slice your heart in half!" "Wait a minute! Listen to me, you lousy bum. While this was a running gag in earlier seasons of the show, the gag became less common and would only appear on some occasions.Ĭlick on one of the prank calls, and it will take you to a YouTube video of the call in-action. Sometimes Bart plays the pranks by methods other than over the phone, but the general idea is the same. In addition, Moe once implied that the sender of the calls often changed his name. ![]() That said, Bart has been known to alter his voice, or it could be phone static. ![]() Curiously, Moe has heard Bart's voice several times and has of yet not been able to identify the voice when it calls him. Upon realizing that he has been prank called, Moe will angrily threaten Bart with a peculiar threat. The joke is revealed when Moe calls the person's name aloud, saying their first name (or initials) first, and the last name last, where his customers proceed to laugh at his expense. Unbeknownst to Moe, the name is a pun or double entendre, which Bart usually hides by saying the last name first when he tells Moe who he's calling for. Usually, Bart calls Moe's Tavern and asks for an individual by his or her name. Moe is the frequent target of Bart's prank phone calls. Usually, it's Moe, but occasionally others are involved as well. Bart's prank calls occur when Bart Simpson makes a prank phone call to somebody. ![]() There are no trains in Cape Town so the train station that you see is a bunch of sleight of hand and trickery.” “The train was built entirely from a 3D model of an actual New York City subway car. ![]() Next, Thomas “really brought it to the next level,” said Robitel. “Like, ‘OK, now we’re underneath New York City and there’s all these defunct trains and stations and tunnels so it’s like a labyrinth under there.’”Īlthough Honley had never been to New York or been on a “bonafide subway” before, he used Google Images to imagine potential clues that could blend into the interior of a train car like handholds, signage and tokens “even though those haven’t been in usage for like 20 to 30 years now.” “Electricity can certainly be very visual and cinematic and that was my way into the movie,” he said. “And then from there it’s like, ‘OK, we have the space, what would be the visual threat?’”Įlectricity was a no-brainer, he says, thanks to the association of trains with the electrified third rail. “I thought the idea of a subway car derailing and then pulling us into the game in a very high octane way could be really cool,” said Robitel. Here, the crew explain the process behind four of the film’s major escape rooms: “What’s been great about these movies and working with Adam and the writers is that they’re open to the design process taking the lead in some of these things,” said Thomas. It was a process of throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall and coming up with the best spaces possible.” “The big thing that we’re saying in this movie is that the game has expanded in the sense that there’s no such thing as free will. “We always like to say Minos likes to create beautiful spaces that kill,” said Robitel. ![]() Along with writers Will Honley, Maria Melnik, Daniel Tuch and Oren Uziel and production designer Edward Thomas, Robitel and the crew first determined pairs of locations and threats before shooting each sequence over the course of 6 to 9 days. Shot in Cape Town, South Africa, the sequel required full and partial set builds, lots of props and custom pieces like a miles-long backdrop and 20,000 tons of sand. The film, which is now playing in theaters nationwide, features settings as disparate as a warm New England beach and a bank located in the bowels of New York City. ![]() However, Intel recently debuted the company’s Iris Xe graphics that bring the Core CPUs graphics more on par with low to mid-range GPUs found in gaming devices. This seemed a bit far-fetched because most Chromebooks, even the powerful Core i7 models, lacked any real graphics processing power as they were limited to Intel’s onboard UHD graphics. However, that was not the case.įurther developments revealed that Google was creating a container that would run Steam and its games natively in much the same way that ChromeOS runs Linux applications in a container locally on the actual device. Because of the cloud-centric nature of Chromebooks, we freely presumed that this would arrive in the form of some sort of streaming like Valve’s own Steam Cloud Play. It has been nearly three years since Google shared that it was working with Valve to bring Steam gaming to ChromeOS. This is all awesome news for the ChromeOS world but there’s one other gaming platform that Google is very serious about adding to the Chromebook résumé. The addition of streaming platforms from Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon gives users access to major AAA titles that once eluded Chromebooks that lack the horsepower to run these sort of graphic-intensive games. More recently, Google has doubled down on cloud gaming and even though the company’s in-house streaming game service is rapidly approaching its end, select OEMs have partnered with Google to launch the first-ever “gaming” Chromebooks designed for the cloud gamer on the go. That means that your Chromebook has access to thousands of Android games that offer optimized experiences on your Play Store-enabled device. Google is still fighting the good fight to encourage and enable developers to create Android apps that are designed to work on larger devices but the app ecosystem on ChromeOS is thriving and expanding more each and every day. ![]() It was a long and somewhat painful path but a few years later and Chromebooks now come with the Google Play Store out of the box. It all started back in 2016 when Google brought us the promise of the Play Store and Android apps on ChromeOS. Despite the untimely demise of Google’s streaming game service Stadia, the folks at Alphabet have high hopes that Chromebooks can still attract a wide range of gamers from every genre and platform imaginable. At its purest, Untitled Goose Game only forces you to just go as wild as a goose.Just in case you hadn’t heard, Google is getting very serious about making ChromeOS a formidable gaming platform. You are not trying to gain abilities or unlock combos. There are really no complicated game mechanics that you need to worry about, either. But that’s okay, as the mission menu contains the controls menu. There is no handbook for the game and no tutorial mode you can do anytime. As mentioned, you only need to hit the pause menu to see your missions. ![]() You only have to hold one button to run, one button to lean down, another one to flap your wings, and one to grab or drop things. Its controls are nice and simple, and it never gets in the way of your missions. Perhaps one of the reasons behind Untitled Goose Game’s continuous success is its simplicity. The game that is typically relaxed will become a manic speed of test and improvisation. By doing so, the game will require you to do the planning and, sometimes, changing tactics. You can also opt to put a time limit to your missions to bring more challenges. And though no mission will stump you for hours, there is a depth to the game and a sense of satisfaction in working out what to do. Your progress relies on outsmarting those humans. But that’s not to say that you will spend all your playing time waddling around the town and honking on innocent people. You only need to hit pause to keep track of the missions.Īll the goose’s missions are geared towards ruining the villagers’ day. From there, you will be given new lists of mischief that you need to do as you gradually unlock areas in the village. Your missions will be to steal his vegetables, throw his tools into the pond, trick the poor man into hammering his thumb, and other hilarious hijinks. The game starts with you pestering an innocent gardener as he tends to his plants. You will play the villain-the goose- and must control it to burst chaotically into the humdrum life of the villagers. At its core, Untitled Goose Game is a puzzle game. In fact, the developers created a game that is both mindless and difficult. However, that does not say that the game is completely brain-dead. ![]() Host unlimited white-label flipbooks on your own server. Try for free FlippingBook Publisher Desktop software for Windows.

![]() Early Game: If the opponent is a defensive player, play Mega Knight at the back then add on Electro Wizard and Inferno Dragon, wait for that drama to die down and play Ram Rider and Princess.If you have a terrible hand/cycle, Fireball the tower. First play: Don't reveal to much (Lone Mega Knight at the back, lone princess at the bridge) or reveal all (Ram Rider and Princess combo (aforementioned)).Royal Ghost: For this slot, use, Royal Ghost, Skeletons, Goblin Gang, Bats, Knight or Tesla. Use to kill support troops and tower damage. Upgrade it as much as possible to get better elixir trades. Use freely on basically anything you like except if the opponent looks to be a Log Bait user.if that is so, use The Log to kill the Princess and then use the Fireball for the Goblin Barrel for a neutral elixir trade. If used correctly with the right troop, you will get zero tower damage. Normally, pair with Ram Rider, Mega Knight or another tank to take down a fast tank (Lumberjack, Mini P.E.K.K.A, Mega Knight etc.), and use it alone to kill a slow tank (P.E.K.K.a, Balloon, Valkyrie etc.). ![]() In double elixir, pair with Mega Knight and Electro Wizard to literally obliterate everything. Use with Mega Knight to disable most pushes, use on Inferno Dragon, Inferno Tower, Battle Ram and any other charging cards. Though it is weak to spells, it can be used as support for any defense/push, chip, an air swarm killer and Witch counter. In my opinion, the Ram Rider is seriously underrated and I have never had a failed Ram Rider connection. It also has a role in offense which will be explained. Extremely easy to use, just pop it on any grounded push (Even P.E.K.K.A or Elite Barbarian based) and it will crush. Jump to strategy for main body.ĭeck Information Deck Created by: MisterMiraclez Minimum Recommended King Level: 8 Maximum Recommended King Level: 12 Arena Required: Spooky Town (Wrong?) Average Elixir Cost: 4 (Wrong?) More Statistics: Go to Deck Builder Card Roles Mega Knight: Your main defense card. It is also level independent, all my cards are lvl 9 and in Arena 14, you will be up against mostly KL9+ and card lvl 11+. It is a pretty easy deck to use, it gets damage amazingly easily, but sometimes you'll find yourself at an elixir deficit if you overcommit to a push. I have used this deck to get from Arena 12 to legendary arena.I was not sure how to classify it so I just used Bridge Spam (It could also be midladder, cycle or beatdown).

![]() Students can now, not only access the current research and thinking, but also have a whole new historical and cultural world opened up for them through the intelligent, engaging and accessible commentary. Allowing readers to fully engage with the text and understand the significant social impacts of the time it was written in. Each individual text is accompanied by on-the-page annotations and explanatory glossary. Bringing in-depth analysis into the themes and context of the anthologies, the revised editions still maintain the accessibility of the original series.Īll the books feature an intelligent and informative introduction, written by experts in the field, providing context, key themes and points of discussion. 'Longman Annotated Texts' have been revisited and reworked. Together they created a series that was intelligent, informed and most importantly useful - the Longman Annotated TextsĬontemporary critics recognise now, more than ever, the importance of textual transmission and the historical and cultural environment. Key authors and texts were in desperate need of good usable editions in a market swamped with dry and often intimidating titles. In the early 1990s series editors, Charlotte Brewer, Danny Karlin and Henry Woudhuysen, each respected and renowned experts in their respective literary fields, felt there were distinct gaps within the literature available to Literature students. The range of texts on offer creates a fascinating time-capsule representing the lives of women, in a time we can only imagine.Ībout the Longman Annotated Texts Series Revised Editions The new collection includes, as before, texts from well known authors such as Margery Kempe and Julian of Norwich, as well as recently discovered visionary and devotional pieces and domestic texts. 'Women's Writing in Middle English' provides a comprehensive and accessible collection of writing by women. They include 'The Duties of a Cellaress of Barking Abbey' (essentially a treatise on household management and mass catering), letters from the Paston women, women's petitions to the King, and widow's wills - disposing of their personal property as death drew near. These domestic texts offer useful insights into the everyday lives of medieval women contrasting with the more pious texts of the anthology. ![]() ![]() But everyday life can be just as interesting, and 'Women's Writing in Middle English' also features a range of domestic texts from less known women. Women visionaries such as Bridget of Sweden and Julian of Norwich re-imagined basic theological concepts, such as the Incarnation and the Trinity, in light of their personal experience of the Divine. For in a society that usually sought to ensure women knew their place, a handful of women took up their pen to challenge or evade those who would silence them. But in the Middle Ages most women's opinions counted for very little, and writing was a luxury available to relatively few laymen, let alone their wives and daughtersĪs society changes, so does writing A new annotated anthology from the relaunched Annotated Texts series - 'Women's Writing in Middle English' - throws new light on the women writers in the Middle Ages and allows us to overhear and eavesdrop on the medieval female voice, which does not always say what we expect. ![]() Nowadays in most parts of the world, there is no question of a woman's right to express her ideas or experiences, in writing or otherwise. Not a time, perhaps, we associate with the emergence of women's writing. The Middle Ages - a time of arbitrary royal power, a wealthy transnational Church, and religious controversy.
