![]() You might ultimately write an essay that is about as much fun to read as a phone book.Automated essay scoring ( AES) is the use of specialized computer programs to assign grades to essays written in an educational setting. If you lay out your argument in a completely clear, five-paragraph format, you'll be in good shape, especially if your writing mechanics (grammar, usage, etc.) are basically solid. (If this means that you don't write a terribly long essay, that's fine-quality matters more than quantity.) Just make sure that you leave a few minutes to proofread your AWA essay, simply to avoid committing any egregious grammar, usage, and spelling errors. Somebody should be able to read the first sentences of each paragraph, and still basically understand the entire essay. The entire AWA essay should start with a crystal-clear thesis statement. Don't beat around the bush: every paragraph should start by clearly stating the main point of the paragraph. So focus on structure on the AWA, even if that means that you produce an essay that would, under normal circumstances, seem like a crappy, contrived piece of writing. If you can conserve energy during the GMAT AWA section, you'll be much sharper when you battle the (far more important) quant and verbal sections. You just want to earn a decent score, with a minimum amount of exertion. When I wrote about the people who read (or skim) your MBA essays, I claimed that you should strive to make your essay interesting-you want them to read it carefully, right? For the AWA, you don't necessarily care if the human grader (or the GMAT computer) actually reads your essay. (And if anybody asks, you'll tell her that you read every single word with great care.) You'll skim the introduction, maybe read the first sentence of each paragraph, and then maybe skim the conclusion. ![]() Are you going to read every single word? Hell, no. But this human probably doesn't actually read your GMAT essays any more closely than the computer.Īgain, imagine that you're the poor slob who gets paid $20/hour (as of a year or two ago, GRE and TOEFL graders earned $20/hour I don't know whether the rate is similar for GMAT) to read bazillions of these AWA essays, most of which are tragically bereft of interesting content. The "human," for his part, is ultimately looking for the same things as the computer when he grades the GMAT AWA: structure, clarity, correctness, richness of language, etc. (Again, I've seen some horrid spellers get really good scores.) I suspect very strongly that structure is the most important part of the AWA scoring system spelling might not even count at all. From there, it probably counts things like the average number of words per sentence and the average number of letters per word, and then it checks for grammar, usage, variety of words used, and perhaps spelling. Obviously, the computer's exact scoring system is a closely guarded secret, but I'm convinced that the program primarily looks for structure using basic keyword algorithms. They took advantage of the fact that nobody really reads your GMAT AWA essay.Īs you probably know, GMAT essays are graded by a computer and by a human if there's a discrepancy between the two scores, then an additional human reads the essay. I've seen some really, really bad writers earn scores of 5.0 or 5.5. ![]() So what does it take to earn a "reasonably high" score? Not much, really. They're looking for business leaders with decent communication skills, not novelists. The adcom might start to wonder if your AWA score is, say, 2.5, but I see no reason to worry if your score is reasonably high. You don't want to completely screw it up, but there's no reason to believe that your AWA score of 5.0 would keep you out of Stanford or HBS. Of course, the AWA section has absolutely nothing to do with your composite score, and it therefore has no impact on MBA rankings. (Of course, there are plenty of other reasons for admissions committees to care about your GMAT score, but that's a story for another day.) Unfortunately, US News & World Reports will look less favorably on a b-school if the program has low average GMAT score, so admissions committees are forced to obsess over your GMAT composite results. First of all, one of the main reasons why MBA programs care about the GMAT is because of rankings. In my opinion, there's rarely any need to spend more than a token amount of time on AWA. Most GMAT students I've met really don't worry all that much about the Analytical Writing (AWA) portion of the test, but I occasionally meet somebody who is absolutely neurotic about this part of the GMAT. Your best course of action is to shut the Storage device down to prevent any further loss or corruption of your data. In the event that you do have a mechanical or software failure of one of your storage devices, DO NOT attempt any type of recovery, repair or Raid rebuild without a having a current and complete copy of your data.

The “Linux bots” – machine “observers” that sometimes took the place of actual humans - showed results that would be expected by pure random chance (i.e., no QM “observer effect”) whereas humans showed measurable QM “observer effect” results with (so the experimenters claim) 5-sigma statistical significance. This turns out to be a task that can be automated by a “bot” with a small bit of clever web programming. The experimenters used an ingenious setup involving the internet as a distance separator and had a Linux “software bot” sometimes take the place of actual humans in performing the experiment, which involves interacting with a web page displaying some sort of feedback graph. The results seem to show, among other things, that “meditators” (people who practice meditative thinking) can achieve more statistically significant effects on influencing the double slit result than others but humans, when “observing” the experiment have on the whole a statistically significant influence on the double slit result in contrast with simple machines. They were also thorough in their use of meta-analysis techniques to inspect their raw data for evidence of bias (p-hacking and selective reporting, for example.) There are also efforts underway to duplicate their results which appear to show confirmation. In any case, the researchers behind this particular experiment seem to have been meticulous in removing all possible extraneous mechanisms that might interfere with their experimental results, and they conducted these experiments with fairly ingenious controls and delay protocols that make their conclusions very difficult to refute. Mills work is a better fit in most cases (although this double slit result is hard to reconcile.) To be clearer: I acknowledge the validity of (at least some or most of) the phenomena that are described as consequences of quantum physics, even though I disagree that our current abstraction of how to represent these phenomena mathematically via QM is the “best fit”. There are many well-known “quirks”, gaps, and flaws involving the QM framework that are dissatisfying and reveal it to be arguably incomplete. ![]() I have objections to the idea that the current form of Quantum Mechanics (QM) -that is, the physics theory, from a mathematical/framework point of view-is the correct mapping of theory to the real-world physical phenomena of “quantum physics”. Randell Mills, and I never really believed in things like telekinesis or parapsychology) I have no choice but to accept that these guys are evidently onto something with this experiment the results are compelling. While I have trouble acknowledging this (I’m a Quantum Mechanics heretic, thanks to my physicist friend Dr. Their thoughts can change the behavior of a distant experimental apparatus. The experimental subjects in this study can-apparently-imagine themselves influencing a certain condition in the double-slit apparatus, causing something to be “observed” (thereby “collapsing the wave function”) such that this conscious effort apparently has a quantitatively measurable effect on the outcome of the experiment. This video covers a fascinating bit of research that purports to prove, in a fairly robust way, that human conscious thought can-statistically speaking, anyway-influence the outcome of a famous quantum mechanics experiment known as the “double slit” experiment (for details, watch the video.) Here is the original article I wrote, which introduces a surprising and unique idea involving a new way to perform a Turing Test using a consequence of Quantum Physics it is an idea that has troubling implications. If they cannot tell, then the machine is judged to be “sentient” in some sense. The goal is for the investigator to try to determine, using only the responses they hear to the questions they ask and the conversations they hold, which room has the computer in it, and which has the human being. You put a phone in each one, and an investigator is given the task of calling the phone in each room from the outside and asking any series of questions they like as they converse with the person or machine. ![]() This is sometimes described using the following analogy: you put a computer, and a person, into separate rooms. To try to tell the machine apart from the human being, he devised what we now call a “Turing Test.” While thinking about “computers” in general, Turing realized a time would come when a “machine” might possess a level of “intelligence” that could be indistinguishable from a human being. His life story is captured in the movie “ The Imitation Game ” and also in the book “ Cryptonomicon ” by Neal Stephenson. ![]() # are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple # Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they # generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options. # You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use.

It took a while for me to get the hang of using it but when I did, it was so convenient for my very shaky hands.īut there’s a downside to that tool. In 2017, I bought a tool called The Vamp Stamp which you will dip in an eyeliner pot or just coat with your eyeliner pen. Photo via Instagram makeupandcoffee MY THOUGHTSįor the record, this is not the first stamp eyeliner I used. To really make sure you get the perfect winged eyeliner, The Quick Flick really designed the angle of their stamps for each side of the eyes.Īnd speaking of angles, they also come in 4 different sizes: To The Point (which is the one I got), Petite (8mm), Modest (10mm), and Grand (12mm). But unlike most stamp winged eyeliners, they come in 2 eyeliner pens. The Quick Flick comes with a winged stamp on top and a regular liner on the bottom. ![]() Each eyeliner pen has a sign which goes to the right or left side. Just like using the stamp, you just press The Quick Flick on the sides of your eyes. They do say on their website that it is smudge and water-resistant. Lastly, it is also 100% vegan, and cruelty-free. It promises to help you achieve a perfect winged eyeliner in less than a minute and have a hyper-pigmented formula that will stay all day without fading, running, or cracking. The Quick Flick is the flagship product of the Australian brand “Quick Beauty”. If you’re curious, keep reading The Quick Flick review below. But what I didn’t tell in there is that I use a stamp eyeliner to achieve the look. I showed there that my go-to look is the cat or winged eyeliner, and the pointier the better. As I have mentioned in my previous post about wearing makeup during this pandemic, focus on your eyes. This is not surprising since people are now required to wear a face mask in public places and most makeups will just smudge on those. Recently, I’ve read a report from The Business of Fashion about the Beauty Booms of Zoom Era where retailers like Ulta are seeing their online businesses skyrocket and the most popular makeup during this pandemic are eye makeups. Set the animation speed in the inspector, and enable “Always play”. The maximum resolution of textures is 2048×2048. However, you may want to tweak the quality or resolution if the compression seems a little too much. The default settings on the next screen are usually already correct. To import an animated texture, go to “Add New” > “Texture” > “Animated form files…” and select all files of the sequence: The lens has a maximum file size of 4MB, so keep the sequences short! Lens Studio will compress the images, so you should not do that yourself. Make sure to have the animation exported as an image sequence (and use PNG, as this also supports an alpha channel for transparancy). I decided to animate the texture of my shirt as well, with the classic dancing hotdog Snapchat made a while back. In the PBR material, replace the Base color texture with the one your 3D scanner produced. Snapchat works with PBR materials, which means it works very well together with Substance Painter (but we’re not using that right now).Īdd a new PBR material, and apply it in the mesh of your dancing objects under Mesh Visual: The next step will be applying the textures. The Preview window should be looking something like this now. Link the IdleAnim-script in the WorldObjectController to this animation, by selecting the right Animation Mixer and typing ‘Layer0’ in the Script fields: Now in the inspector of the FBX file, you’ll see it has an animation, named ‘layer0’: It’ll automatically be placed in the “Object” list, but it should be resized a little to make it visible.ĭrag it into the “World Object Controller”, as it wouldn’t respond to touch otherwise. Under “Resources” > “Add New” > “Import Files”, select the downloaded FBX. This’ll make the right placeholders for touch interaction, which saves some time.Īfter removing the template objects, this what the Lens Studio interface looks like: Let’s open up Lens Studio and pick the “Animated Object”-template. Let’s select some good dance moves, apply them to my scan, and export that as an FBX file: Here you can find everything about optimization for a lens. Make sure your 3D model is under 65.535 vertices, as Android doesn’t support more than that. (which is way faster than rigging and animating it yourself). I made one using the Structure Scanner on an iPad with the app ItSeez3D, and animated that with Mixamo To recreate this using Lens Studio, you’ll need a 3D model of yourself first.
