![]() Kapler, who came over to the Giants this offseason after being fired by the Philadelphia Phillies, echoed that sentiment. “I mean, I think we want him as involved in, and as engaged as his schedule and his situation allows,” he said. “As accommodating as Buster is we want to be careful to not take up too much of his time, especially you know in the next few weeks,” Zaidi said, but mentioned that they would value his personnel insights. With last season’s backup catcher, Aramis Garcia, currently sidelined by hip surgery, the Giants will have no available catchers technically on the 40-man roster, and will need to add at least two of Bart and fellow player pool catchers Tyler Heineman and Rob Brantly to begin the season, baring an outside addition. Posey deferred to his manager and GM about how involved he’ll be with the team from afar as the season gets underway, particularly in a mentorship role to catcher Joey Bart, the second overall pick in the 2018 draft who could be thrust into a major-league role after finishing last season at Double-A. He acknowledged that it’s “100 percent an individual decision” and said that, “If these babies hadn’t been born right now and weren’t premature, I’d probably be playing.”īecause he is not high-risk himself, Posey is not guaranteed to receive his salary, which would have been prorated to $7.925 million for the shortened season. (AP Photo/Matt York)įor Posey, at least, choosing to sit out the season hinged specifically on the arrival of his twins. Giants catcher Buster Posey announced he is opting out of the 2020 season over coronavirus concerns after adopting twins who were born prematurely. From a family standpoint, and feeling like I’m making a decision to protect our children, I think it was relatively easy.” “From a baseball standpoint, it was a tough decision. “This ultimately wasn't that difficult decision for me,” Posey said. He thanked Giants executive Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler for their unmitigated support in stepping away from the team to be with his family, although he said that he would have made the same choice even without the team’s backing. If the babies contract the virus, will it affect them immediately, will it affect them in the long-term? Unfortunately, there’s just no data right now this is so new that we just don't have those answers.” Talking to different doctors, there’s no solid answers. ![]() One that makes myself and my wife feel more comfortable than we would otherwise. “But I do think it eliminates it to a certain degree. “I completely understand that not playing baseball doesn't wholly eliminate the risk of contracting the virus,” Posey said. A former MVP, six-time All-Star and three-time World Series champion, the 33-year-old is the face of a Giants team currently in a rebuilding phase. Out of “cautious” optimism and desire to protect the privacy of all involved, Posey hadn’t talked much even among his team about the plans to add to his family - until the babies were born at 32 weeks on the day of the Giants’ first practice.Īfter consulting with his family and doctors, he is sitting out the 2020 season, becoming the most decorated player to make that decision.

![]() Franco Colapinto’s debut means Argentina becomes the 35th different country to be represented in Formula 2. ![]() Over the 23-lap distance of Saturday's Sprint Race, it is almost certain that the compound of choice for all drivers will be the one indicated by the yellow band.” “However, in the past it has not been uncommon to use a medium-soft strategy, extending the first stint as long as possible and then using the grip advantage of the softer compound in the closing stages, when those on mediums may be struggling more. On a track where traction has always been a particularly critical phase for tyre degradation, the best strategy on paper for the Feature Race is to start on Soft for an initial stint of around 10 laps before switching to mediums. P Zero Yellow medium and P Zero Red soft compounds have been chosen for this final weekend of the Championship. “The FIA Formula 2 Championship season traditionally ends in Abu Dhabi with a round that will award both the Drivers' and the Teams' titles for 2023. Starting on the soft tyres, Iwasa pitted on Lap 9 from the lead to switch to the mediums before Drugovich responded one lap later.īattling all the way to the 33rd and final lap, the DAMS driver kept the 2022 Champion behind to take the final win of the season by just over half a second, with third-place finisher Liam Lawson just 1.3s off the leader in the end. It was a tightly-contested Feature Race in 2022 as Ayumu Iwasa converted pole position into victory, but it took a monumental defensive display to keep Felipe Drugovich behind. The long and fast Turn 9 hairpin will hurt the front right tyre the most.īraking capabilities are important to pull off overtaking manoeuvres in the heaviest braking zone around the circuit into Turn 6, but they are relatively light in terms of overall demand versus other venues like Monza, which features several major braking areas across the lapĭrivers will have the red-walled soft and yellow medium compound Pirelli tyres available to them this weekend. The final sector is tight and twisty while Sectors 1 and 2 emphasise aero balance and top-end speed. Protecting the tyres in the slower speed sections will also reward drivers later in the stints, with superior grip providing a late-race advantage over those that use up the best of their tyres immediately. With a higher percentage of the lap now made up of flat-out blasts along the two long straights between Turns 5 and 6 and 7 and 9, that is the highest demand placed upon the cars in Abu Dhabi. Since the redevelopment of the Yas Marina Circuit for 2021, the layout has become even more strenuous in terms of fuel consumption. It’s not going to be really hard, but you do still need to take care of the tyres.” ![]() As always, it’s important to focus and save the rear tyres and the front right tyre a little bit because Turn 9 is a very long and difficult corner for them. “Tyre management is always a key factor in Formula 2, but in Yas Marina, I don’t think it will be that hard. Also Turn 5 can be one of them, especially on the first lap of the race. It’s very interesting, you have to be very intelligent on the track. Every time we see some overtakes at Turn 6, but there is another DRS detection point just after Turn 7 and the other driver can re-overtake the driver who overtook him two corners before. “The key overtaking areas are for sure the two big braking zones after the two DRS zones at Turns 6 and 9. Pourchaire and Martins’ ART team retain the lead in the Teams’ Championship on 332 points, 26 points ahead of PREMA and Rodin Carlin round out the top three on 212. Meanwhile, DAMS’ Ayumu Iwasa remains in contention, but must achieve a perfect weekend and hope his rivals both do not score.ĭoohan sits fourth on 138 points, just ahead of top rookie contenders Martins and Bearman, on 131 and 130 points respectively. He’ll be joined by familiar company with title rival Vesti (Mercedes), Jack Doohan (Alpine), Oliver Bearman (Haas) and Isack Hadjar (Red Bull) all in action, alongside 2022 Champion Felipe Drugovich (Aston Martin) and 2021 runner-up Robert Shwartzman (Ferrari), whilst Zak O’Sullivan will make his F1 debut with Williams ahead of his graduation to F2 next year.Īfter failing to score in the last three Feature Races, Vesti sits second on 166 points and needs a big haul if he is to overtake Pourchaire. It’ll be a busy weekend for the Sauber junior as he gets behind the wheel of Alfa Romeo’s C43 in Formula 1’s first Free Practice session. Since then, the ART Grand Prix driver has solidified his advantage, carrying a 25-point lead into the season finale with only 39 points left to play for. The lead of the Drivers’ Standings flowed back and forth until Pourchaire took control in Spa-Francorchamps. ![]() At LumenVox, our Research and Development team is currently utilizing Time Depth Separable Convolutional Neural Networks (TDS CNN).Ĭonvolutional Neural Networks are advantageous for a few reasons: They are computationally efficient, making them highly useful for mobile applications, and they have fewer knobs to toy with, fewer parameters to adjust. Which Neural Network for Automatic Speech Recognition?ĭeep Neural Networks are transforming the way humans interact, playing an important role in the technological revolution of artificial intelligence. When it comes to speech technology, neural networks enable us to push the limits of speech recognition. More specifically, neural networks are a series of algorithms, whose job it is to identify relationships within a set of data, a process that simulates the way a human brain identifies underlying connections. Deep Neural Networks can achieve state-of-the-art performance in many different fields, even exceeding human-level performance on some of them. ![]() These models are trained using very large sets of data and neural network topologies with many hidden layers, to which the word “deep” refers. A crucial building block of artificial intelligence is deep learning.ĭeep learning refers to the process of a computer model learning how to do classification tasks by example, directly from audio, text, or images. Already an established technology, Automatic Speech Recognition is growing by leaps and bounds each year, especially as artificial intelligence contributes to evolution. The development of Automatic Speech Recognition techniques continues to accelerate. ![]() But a script that needs a bag of other specifically versioned scripts needs to live in it's own (sometimes impossible) world. Statically compiled binaries work almost everywhere. I wish nim was 100% python code compatible.Ĭompiled binaries with shared libs work fine as long as they come from an OS package repository. Except give python a compiler that can spit out binaries and libraries. Python absolutely sucks in this regard and I don't think there is a permanent solution. The 'dead' version is probably still hanging around in my home directory taking up space somewhere. No idea what broke it, perhaps a python update or something. After following the rabbit around I just uninstall pipx, install it again, and then reinstall the thing that I was originally trying to use. I looked at the code in the /usr/bin/thing and it was just a wrapper. I tried to use something a few days ago that had been working until a month ago and it failed with some useless generic python error that I can't remember. ![]() But this library looks like a good alternative, so thanks for posting. They talked about opening sourcing it as part of something else – I hope they do because I found it really handy for quickly knocking together simple GUIs. The "setup_view" function was the whole API. One benefit of that over setting properties in the constructor is that, if you need a name for a widget (e.g., to set the text later), you can still set the properties of it in the main bulk of the view. A key difference is that setting properties/signals and nesting widgets was done together. I did something like that in an old job, except it was a much thinner wrapper around PyQt (and surprisingly little code). I have a suggestion for it, although it might be this library is too mature for such a dramatic change: use dictionaries (which, as of a recent Python, remember which order the elements were inserted) instead of lists. I'd love to spend more time on this, I think it is really cool, but tbh I haven't gone too far beyond the basics and since day job has no use for such stuff it gotta be squeezed into when i feel like doing code on the weekend. I wrote a little blog post about this a couple years ago (seriously, i move sooooo slowly on this stuff!). I also have a `DataControllerWidget` which does the callback on any change event, allowing for real-time manipulation. For example you might do Find(string text) ` and let it auto-generate the menu and dialog box for it. My menu thing uses this too, you can attach functions to menus and it can pop up a dialog. that's about all i bothered to implement so far, tbh my gui toolkit is more of a side project toy than a main event so the time i put in is limited), for example using 100)` on an `int` to make it a slider from 0 to 100 instead of a text box asking for a number. You can also attach some user defined attributes to tell it which widget you want to control the thing (defaults are line input for string and int, drop-down select for enum, groups for structs. early and end your program this will return when all windows are closed need to run the event loop explicitly so main doesn't return and calls the function you provide when the user hits OK auto-creates a dialog for all the parts of the struct then do the dialog function with the struct and it it requires a struct even if you only want one item need to define the data you want in a struct, I've played with this a bit over the years, starting with my automatic form generator for the web back in 2011 based on function arguments (coupled with an automatic data to html thing to see the function output), and more recently some similar stuff for my gui toolkit too (using the D programming language). ![]() Our unique technology makes your personalised gift simple to make, plus even better you can create it from a desktop, on your sofa with a tablet or when you are sitting on the bus with your mobile, plus it works perfectly fine with apple IOS devices & Android powered devicesĬhoose From a Framed Print, Paper Print, Canvas, Box Frame or Personalised Cushion Once you’re happy with your picture you can choose what finished style you would like.Ĭreate Your Custom Present from a Phone, Tablet or Desktop You can change your mind as often as you like before you order!
