The Houston-born, Louisville-raised rapper seldom frequents social media, and when he does, he rarely shows his face. Don’t confuse the black mask he wears in public for a disguise, however. Vory likes to maintain an air of mystery around himself, but he has nothing to hide.It’s a dreary Wednesday afternoon at the Roc Nation offices in New York City when Vory walks into a serene matte black conference room and greets…

The COVID-19 pandemic was still raging when a federal judge in Florida made the fateful decision to type “sanitation” into the search bar of the Corpus of Historical American English. Many parts of the country had already dropped mask requirements, but a federal mask mandate on planes and other public transportation was still in place. A lawsuit challenging the mandate had come before Judge Kathryn Mizelle, a former clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas. The Biden administration said the mandate was valid, based on a law…

A step-by-step tutorial using a minimal amount of codeObject detection and instance segmentation is the task of identifying and segmenting objects in images. This involves finding for each object the bounding box, the mask that covers the exact object, and the object class. Mask R-CNN is one of the most common methods to achieve this.This tutorial aims to explain how to train such a net with a minimal amount of code (60 lines not including spaces).Example for object detection/instance segmentation. The image appears on…

A group of researchers has created a new VR mask that can simulate the suffocating effects of being stuck in a burning building. The AirRes Mask was created by a team from the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences in Austria. With the mask, the researchers created several experiences that range from blowing out candles to suffocating in a VR fire. This mask can make you feel like you’re suffocating in a fire in VR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhk3NFco85o The researchers detailed the mask’s creation,…

For the first time in about two years, consumers can shop, exercise, travel, work and lounge in public spaces without wearing a mask, despite recent surges in COVID infections. Since the onset of the pandemic, most restaurants, grocery stores and retail shops have followed state and national…

Suppose this parallel plate capacitor is connected to a 9-volt battery. A volt is a measure of the electric potential difference. In short, this is the electric potential energy per charge—it’s a measure of how much energy a charge would gain by moving across that potential. So, this 9-volt battery will create a 9-volt change in potential across the plates.But what would happen if you pushed one of the plates so that the distance between them decreases just a little bit? Well, since the capacitor is still connected to the…
