Famous Mumble rappers such as Lil Yachty and Young Thug hardly mumble symbolizing the inconsistency of the meaning of mumble. They believe the term was born out of convenience for not really understanding what it truly means. Hate, therefore, spews on both sides of the generation as young rappers cast doubt over the styles used by hip-hop icons, frequently calling them overrated, old and washed up. The new generation of rappers have declared a moratorium on the term and call out critics for reducing their music to the sentiment of being just ‘lit’ or ‘turnt up’. They have shot the term as disrespectful and called out all opinions on the matter to be too subjective to be taken seriously. Supporters argue that the term casts a negative light on the evolution of music itself. ![]() The term mumble rap which has come to be commonly used as a pejorative to degrade younger rappers, might not be an accurate depiction of the sub-genre to begin with. It’s no wonder the mumble rap can be heard playing at every other club or house party. They focus entirely on developing tunes that are catchy and current-perfect for situations that demand the least amount of processing power by the audiences. This younger generation of artists argues to change the rules of the game as we speak assigning lyrical dexterity a backseat and putting melody and flow on the front. Current artists focus more on harmonizing and creating a mood/sound rather than actively rapping. The new wave claims to have adopted the genre but are putting their own twist on the outlook of music. The new blood in hip hop have cited various old rappers as inspiration-most of them constituting names who have come down on them with disparaging comments. They are seen as distractions to the actual music produced by the artist – a music with just luster and no insight or substance. In addition to their music, frequent disgust from early MCs extends to the attention seeking antics used by young artists to stay relevant by ‘trolling’ their audiences. Enjoying widespread commercial success in such a short period of time through such music with no apparent music discography to their name creates the most unfathomable and despicable thought for the older generation out there. Other critics of the genre blame the rapper’s laziness for producing ‘sloppy’ lyrics with no depth, and instead focusing on developing just a feel-good sound. They naturally then hold mumble rappers in contempt for producing songs lacking both self-identity and social awareness topping charts as soon as they are released. And hence, for these notable figures in hip-hop, the essential elements of the hip-hop culture are lost in the same sounding repetitive meaningless beats following the same triplet pattern and using the same ad lib sound effects. To them and others voicing their discontent, the coherency and articulation of meaning matters most in any song. The hip-hop legends of our time dub mumble rap brash and inorganic, lacking the lyrical genius and poetic style that is fundamental to the makings of any hip-hop track. Cole bash the mumble sound with their own songs, in their fight to preserve the sanctity of rap. Popular hip-hop personalities such as Eminem and J. To say that the genre is not very well received amongst the rappers of the 90s would be an understatement. Contrasting significantly with the hip-hop genre it identifies with, it poses a new phase in the evolution of the genre. What is mumble rap you ask ? Mumble Rap is a form of rap characterized with unclear-almost incomprehensible delivery of vocals over heavy bass and playful instrumentals. Other prominent mumble rappers include Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Lil Yachty, Tekashi69, Desiigner, and Lil Pump. Also known as Soundcloud rap due to its widespread distribution over the platform of Soundcloud in the 2010s, its birth has been credited to rappers such as Future, Soulja Boy, and Chief Keef. Mumble rap, a term coined by Wiz Khalifa back in 2016, has stirred quite a controversy in the rap world. Get the best blog stories into your inbox! Subscribe Reading Time: 5 minutes ![]() You are not planning an advance in Max Payne. It forces you to think in vectors, turning what is a pretty by-the-numbers shooter into something completely different. It is instantly easy to grasp, remains useful no matter the level of play, and helps the player look at arenas in a completely different way. I liked it because man go sideways bang bang very good yes. It is, to a 15-year-old me in the year 2000, everything I’d ever dreamed of.īut – crucially – it is also a brilliant piece of game design. It’s half of every fight scene in The Matrix. Whatever direction you’re travelling in, when you tap that right mouse button, Max hurls himself into the air and goes fully horizontal whilst time slows and he draws a bead on everyone who stands against him – then, as he slams into the floor laid out flat, normal time resumes and the bullets start flying once more. I’m here to ask you: what if it made your gun less accurate? What if, instead of slowing down the pace of the game and rewarding gradual advancement into cover, it shot you forward like a fucking rocket? These days, if you click the right mouse button whilst playing a shooter, you’ll most likely peer down the iron sights of your gun and become slightly more accurate. You might think that your right mouse button is pretty special, what with the drop-down menus it generates and the way it lets you do a different colour in Microsoft Paint, but these are nothing compared to what it does in Max Payne. Suddenly, slow-motion went from being a neat effect that a handful of games had messed around with to a core gameplay mechanic, serving to represent the edge that Max had over his enemies and making you feel pretty good at the game even if you were only delivering an average performance.īut! I’m not here to talk about Bullet-Time. When you slowed down time by tapping the Shift key, those bullets slowed down too, and you were able to actively move out of their path. Unlike a lot of games in the early 2000s, Max Payne modelled all of its bullets as objects in motion rather than instantaneous flashes of damage along an invisible vector. The most important part of Max Payne, though, is slow-motion – or as they call it in-game, ripping it directly from The Matrix, Bullet Time. Want to play? Simply link the correct game to the stupid synonym for ‘slow motion gameplay’.Max Payne is a ridiculous game about a washed-up cop murdering his way through New York’s criminal underbelly to get revenge against drug traffickers for ruining his life it occupies that strange turn-of-the-century Playstation 2 space where games were transitioning out of their arcade roots, so while there’s a dream sequence that deals with Max’s guilt over the death of his son, it is resolved in play as a series of quite difficult platforming sections. (prior to which it was owned by former Max Payne pushers 3D Realms) so to avoid treading on toes, many games have plowed their own slow-motion furrow in terms of naming their wares. The term ‘bullet time’ is trademarked by Warner Bros. What will be known in common parlance as bullet-time until the end of civilization now goes by multiple silly names in whatever shooter it remedies, or sometimes pollutes. All these influences fed into one of the most ubiquitous of shooter mechanics of times to come. But it was after The Matrix that slow-motion’s use became truly ubiquitous in rip-offs, pastiches and gaming. ![]() Other early cinematic uses of bullet-time could be found in movies like the original Blade (1998) and music videos such as Korn’s Freak on a Leash (1998). ![]() If you are going to provide a trial version it should be fully functional but time-limited. That’s a very 90’s technique for selling software. I’m not so impressed that the Trial version will not let me save a copy without a watermark until I buy it. I think the results are very natural, without any halos, despite cranking up the sharpening to 50 on a 100 scale. Wow! OK! So, I’m impressed with the sharpening! Here’s a screenshot of the first image I’ve tried, with the original on the left and the sharpened version on the right. OK, so I opened a micrography image that I cleaned up in my ON1 NoNoise review and quickly realized that the reason for the noise in that shot was the sharpening, as the original DNG file doesn’t actually have a lot of noise, but it’s quite soft because of the camera adapter I used for the shot, so rather than jumping to another photo, I’m going to switch to Topaz Sharpen as there is work for it here. Unless, of course, it surprises me with some obvious artificial intelligence, but I doubt that. Oh, and I think I’m going to stop adding the AI after the plugin names, as it’s a pointless marketing suffix. OK, so let’s crank up Topaz DeNoise and see what we think. ![]() You always can, but I think you already know that. I haven’t contacted Topaz about this review and will buy the plugins myself if I like them, and not liking them would save me $160, so you can rest assured that you are getting my full and honest opinion here. There’s a sale until May 6, 2022, which provides Topaz DeNoise, Sharpen, and Gigapixel for $160, a saving of $100 over the list price, so it’s probably a good time to pick these up if I am impressed. I’m starting with the trial version, with the intention of buying this and a few other Topaz plugins if I like them. Today I’ve put some time aside to sit down and check out Topaz DeNoise and Sharpen and will make notes and share my thoughts as usual. ![]() I was asked at the time what I thought of Topaz Labs noise reduction software and intended to take a look, but it dropped off my radar until this week, a member of the MBP Pro Community showed some samples of his tests comparing ON1 NoNoiseAI with the Topaz DeNoiseAI software. As I mentioned at the time though, I was pretty unimpressed with the performance of ON1 Photo Raw, finding it slow and clunky, despite wanting to like it. In August 2021 we took a look at ON1 Software’s NoNoise AI software, and I was relatively impressed with the results. ![]() If you have any issues you can always rollback to an earlier release that worked for you by: Menu->Preference->Rollback and download that version and install it. ![]() Depixalated algorithms are not implemented.

![]() At this point I moved to Vermont to settle down and get serious about software. After one year as a post-doc, I took the leap of faith: I left academia to form and work on IGG full-time. But I was still a one-man shop trying to juggle a lot of work. Skip ahead a few years and by the time I was graduated and working on a post-doc, iWork and iBank were making a significant contribution to my monthly income. And although it was pretty simple at this point, especially compared to iBiz today, it still had some neat features for its time, such as 1-click emailing of invoices and an idle timer. iWork was a big success and continued to grow in popularity. I developed it to version 3.0 and then the next iteration was a complete re-write, called iWork. However, I still continued to chase my other little passion, to make AtWork better and better. I continued to make a few bucks a day, but certainly not enough to consider “going indie.” Besides, I was happy plugging away on my dissertation and chasing rare plants around southern California. I continually updated and improved upon AtWork and pushed new builds to my file server. I could hardly believe it! In a lot of ways, selling this first app marks the very beginning of IGG. The first day I posted it, I sold one copy. I found the app quite useful so I decided I would put it up on the internet and charge $6 for it. You probably get where this story is going and alas, AtWork was born. As an early OS X adopter (early as in, I installed the first beta) I was frustrated that there wasn’t an app to track the time I was spending writing reports - time I ultimately needed to bill back to the client. The fun part of the job was hiking around botanizing, the not so fun part was writing a report back at home. Occasionally on the weekends and between classes I would survey for rare plants as a side gig. Over a decade ago I was a graduate student studying biology and plant population modeling. ![]() The story of iBiz is really the story of how IGG started. ![]() The Fatal Five | Digital Trailer | Warner Bros. “We’re also are proud to have Kevin Conroy, Susan Eisenberg and George Newbern reprising their seminal roles as DC’s Trinity in the Justice League & Justice League Unlimited animated series, and believe the fans will be equally pleased with their return to these characters.” Justice League vs. Home Entertainment Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. The Fatal Five is an important addition to the DC Universe Movies, spotlighting two unlikely young heroes with real-world issues facing off against a daunting quintet of futuristic villains,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Sure, this animated movie has Star Boy, and that is a start, right? It is rather interesting that the story takes place with the current lineup of the Justice League, instead of introducing audiences the might that is the Legion of Super-Heroes. But the Justice League discover an ally from another time in the peculiar Star Boy – brimming with volatile power, could he be the key to thwarting the Fatal Five? An epic battle against ultimate evil awaits! Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman seek answers as the time-traveling trio of Mano, Persuader and Tharok terrorize Metropolis in search of budding Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz – whom they need to free remaining Fatal Five members Emerald Empress and Validus in order to carry out their sinister plan. The Fatal Five finds the Earth’s future hanging in the balance when the Justice League faces a powerful new threat – the Fatal Five. The Fatal Five animated movie has captured our attention.

To get back to A ⊕ B we have to negate this negative equation. However, if we take the other two unused conditions from the truth table that make the XOR operation false, can make the negative equation for XOR, called a NXOR: Notice how each gate “connects” the variables together just like the logic blocks in the code above. In code this expression is formed with these logic blocks: let A = falseĬoverting the equation to logic gates makes the following diagram. Our XOR expression is true when one of these conditions are true which is written like: The second conditon is when A is true and B is false which is expressed as A The first conditon is when A is false and B is true which is expressed as ~A There are two conditions where the result column has true values. We’ll find all the conditions that cause a true result and create a Boolean expression for them. Let’s map the input and output conditions in a truth table for a combined logic system for XOR. It was was made up using a combination of AND, OR, and NOT operators: let A = false You might remember that back in Boolean elements we saw that there was no operator to use in code for XOR. Then, we can directly convert the expression into a diagram of logic gates. Boolean expressions are written from the conditions in the table. To design a combined logic system we can use a truth tables to match logical outputs for out various input conditions. When you connect multiple gates together you have a combined logic system or combinatorial logic. The exclusive or gate symbol is just like the OR gate but it has an additonal curved line crossing the inputs. ![]() The AND gate has a flat input side and round output side. Th OR gate has a curved input side and a sharp pointed output. The circle part of the symbol is what says that the output is negating the input. The NOT gate is a forward arrow with a small circle at the output. Digital computers are designed by connecting thousands, or millions, of these gates to together. When combined together, several gates can make a complex logical evaluation system that has many inputs and outputs. The inputs (Boolean variables) enter at the left of the symbol and the output leaves from the right. Each one has a different shape to show its particular function. Logic gates are symbols that can directly replace an expression in Boolean arithmetic. The output of a gate can be a final result or it can be connected as an input to yet another gate. The resulting value from the expression equation is the output of the gate. The symbol takes the place of the operator and the variables are the inputs to the gate. A single logic gate is usually made of several transistors an shares space with many others in an integrated circuit.Įach of the basic operators we learned about in the expressions section have a gate symbol. A logic gate is both a symbolic representation of a logical operation and, when used in digital electronics, it can is an actual circuit in hardware. The logical expressions are translated into device structures called logic gates. In the real world digital devices aren’t the abstract logical expressions of Boolean algebra, but they are implementations of these expressions in hardware. |
