I respect other Irish whiskeys, but I am coming in strong, with passion and with purpose. “Growing up on the streets of Dublin 12, I learned the values of loyalty and hard work. It’s proper Irish whiskey and twelve is my hometown,” said McGregor. It’s a place I’m still very much a part of every single day of my life. Critic tasting note: 'Initially, Conor McGregor’s whiskey seems more laborious than notorious, with a rather unremarkable nose of fondant orange and mediocre spices, not helped by the first sip’s wishy-washy fruitiness of diluted orange and fudge, but before you tap out, it gets back on its feet and starts swinging for the fences with a redeeming comeback of.

Bottler: Proper 12 ABV: 35 Age: NAS Price: Intro: The second release from MMA fighter Conor McGregors Proper No. Twelve is complex and sophisticated yet smooth and approachable with hints of vanilla, honey and toasted wood. Conor McGregor, along with his business partners, Paradigm Sports CEO Audie Attar and Ken Austin, launched the whiskey in 2018. ![]() It is produced in an area known for its rich soil and pure spring water. Twelve was the Irishmans first business outside the UFC. Twelve’s global launch expression is a blend of the finest golden grain and single malt. We took the time to develop an incredible whiskey and I’m excited to share it with the world,” said McGregor. “We created close to one hundred blends and ultimately selected what we knew was the one and only proper whiskey blend. He met David Elder, esteemed master distiller, previously of Guinness, and together they took painstaking measures to bring the whiskey to fruition. It became a longer and more complicated project than originally expected, so McGregor turned to the world’s oldest whiskey distillery, located in Ireland, with a proven history of quality whiskey making.

While it’s certainly different in the movies, I believe they’ve paraphrased Sam’s speech very powerfully. ![]() It mentions all the stuff that happened in the First and Second Ages, as well as part of the Third Age – Beren and Luthien, Bilbo’s Journey, etc. I also think that for a speech this powerful, the book adds so much richness to it – especially as Frodo and Sam didn’t know what was going to happen. It sometimes just gives us a sense that someone is talking to us in that way, especially when we feel isolated and alone like the only ones in the situation we’re in right now. When things aren’t going as we expected, there are definitely a lot of things we can turn to from here. Usually, it’s the message I’d turn to during tough times. ![]() As it does provide for more of a conversational tone in it. But I disagree – there is still at least an element of Sam’s speech in the books, which I think it seems more like a dialogue.īut for the sake of this post, I’ll focus on the book adaptations of Sam’s Speech – in which you could say it’s a dialogue. Some may say that Sam’s speech was a feature added onto the movies that wasn’t in the books. I know it sounds a bit nitpicky for such a great quote though. While the quote above was in the movies, it is unknown whether it was in the books. I cited the movies as I initially thought the above quote was exclusive to the movies. Peter Jackson, The Two Towers Movie Adaptations When I watched Sam’s speech the first few times, I didn’t skip to the end but noticed it a lot – where he said: Though I do understand why they had to paraphrase it to an extent.īut it has the same message. It adds so much richness to it that the movie paraphrases. Many thought otherwise – you’ll see TONS of posts out there saying that this eye-opening speech was added in the movies, but not in the books.īut I beg to differ – there is a book equivalent as well. One of them provided an interesting take, in that this speech was redone in the movies, which I completely overlooked. The first time I heard about it was when I went back to school (the first one as a huge fan of the series) and was so glad to see a couple of students talking about it as well. I was thinking about it for a while, but couldn’t help but feel that the difference between Sam’s speech in the books and movies stuck out to me like a sore thumb. There’s one part which never ceases to move me, and many of us – it’s Sam’s Speech, regardless of whether it’s from the book or movie. But you’ve left out one of the chief characters…. ![]() And why sir, I’ve never thought about it before!. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2017 OpenAI spent $7.9 million, or a quarter of its functional expenses, on cloud computing alone. In December 2016, OpenAI released "Universe", a software platform for measuring and training an AI's general intelligence across the world's supply of games, websites, and other applications. Nvidia gifted its first DGX-1 supercomputer to OpenAI in August 2016 to help it train larger and more complex AI models with the capability of reducing processing time from six days to two hours. In April 2016, OpenAI released a public beta of "OpenAI Gym", its platform for reinforcement learning research. OpenAI's potential and mission drew these researchers to the firm a Google employee said he was willing to leave Google for OpenAI "partly because of the very strong group of people and, to a very large extent, because of its mission." Brockman stated that "the best thing that I could imagine doing was moving humanity closer to building real AI in a safe way." OpenAI co-founder Wojciech Zaremba stated that he turned down "borderline crazy" offers of two to three times his market value to join OpenAI instead. Microsoft's Peter Lee stated that the cost of a top AI researcher exceeds the cost of a top NFL quarterback prospect. In 2016, OpenAI paid corporate-level (rather than nonprofit-level) salaries, but did not pay AI researchers salaries comparable to those of Facebook or Google. Brockman was able to hire nine of them as the first employees in December 2015. ![]() Īccording to Wired, Brockman met with Yoshua Bengio, one of the "founding fathers" of deep learning, and drew up a list of the "best researchers in the field". OpenAI is headquartered at the Pioneer Building in Mission District, San Francisco. The organization stated it would "freely collaborate" with other institutions and researchers by making its patents and research open to the public. According to an investigation led by TechCrunch, Musk was its largest donor while YC Research did not contribute anything at all. The actual collected total amount of contributions was only $130 million until 2019. In December 2015, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research announced the formation of OpenAI and pledged over $1 billion to the venture. OpenAI also announced that Microsoft would have a non-voting board seat at OpenAI. The new initial board included former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor as chairman. Four days later, both returned after negotiations with the board, and most of the board members resigned. On November 17, 2023, the board removed Altman as CEO, while Brockman was removed as chairman and then resigned as president. Microsoft provided OpenAI Global LLC with a $1 billion investment in 2019 and a $10 billion investment in 2023, with a significant portion of the investment in the form of compute resources on Microsoft's Azure cloud service. The organization was founded in December 2015 by Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, Jessica Livingston, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk serving as the initial board members. OpenAI has also developed several large language models, such as ChatGPT and GPT-4, as well as advanced image generation models like DALL-E 3, and in the past published open-source models. OpenAI researches artificial intelligence with the declared intention of developing "safe and beneficial" artificial general intelligence, which it defines as "highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work". registered in Delaware and its for-profit subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC. OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence (AI) research organization consisting of the non-profit OpenAI, Inc. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, the extensive campaign mode in this game allows you to play as many of the legendary civilizations that mankind has known over the centuries. The main objective is to destroy all the enemy buildings and claim victory for your army before they get to you first. World Conqueror 4 is similar in its basic essence to many other popular attack and defense strategy games like Clash of Clans and Age of Empires. ![]() The most recent such update occurred on 13 November 2017 and included various new features and mini expansion packs to the campaign mode which shows the dedication of the developers towards the game. World Conqueror 4 has been very successful on the App Store with great customer reviews and the developers of the game take these user comments very seriously with regular updates coming through to add new features according to user suggestions. The game is available to download and play for $0.99 on iOS devices from the Apple iTunes App Store as well as on Android devices from the Google Play Store. World Conqueror 4 has been developed and published by the gaming house of EASY Inc. Are your fingers tingling for war but you don’t want to go far from the comfort of your couch? World Conqueror 4 is a fresh new game in the strategy war game category which will fulfill all your passion for fighting all the while you go no farther than the screen of your smartphone. ![]() ![]() ![]() You will have to learn to stack debuffs while kiting which can be possible because the Huntress can shoot while moving. ![]() There will be a point where your damage output will drop because the Crowbar can not scale with the difficulty increase as the game progresses. This is to add to the Laser Glaive build above where you will rely on your Strafe to inflict stacking bleed debuffs on the enemy. Tri-Tip Dagger, Shatterspleen, Predatory Instincts Tougher Times is also necessary because the Huntress is one of the most fragile survivors in the game. Hardlight Afterburners will also help by increasing the charge count and decrease the cooldown on Blink to allow faster movement especially on up and down terrain. Wax Quail will assist your kiting better and saves a few Blinks that can be used in dire situations. Hardlight Afterburner, Wax Quail and Tougher Times Items such as Brilliant Behemoth and Molten Preforator can help you deal with enemies that dropped below 90% health but it will take more time to dispose of them.Īfter you complete this build, you can work on increasing your damage output from your Strafe and always add a few Old Guillotines when things get rough. Remember that the Crowbar only works on enemies above 90% so dropping them below that HP with random damage can work against you. This allows you to possibly one-shot elite monsters with the Laser Glaives as well. The Lens-Maker’s Glasses will also be essential as the critical strike doubles the multiplier you get from the Crowbar. This can help her survivability because you can focus on kiting while you keep throwing your Laser Glaives at the enemy on cooldown.īandoliers and Alien Heads will help by reducing the cooldown on your Laser Glaives and Blink which will make you hard to kill. The Laser Glaives have good multipliers and with a stacked Crowbar build, it can wipe multiple enemies without having the worry of targeting each of them. She has one of the strongest secondary skills in the game and Backup Magazines will be essential to her build. This build or item combination revolves around the Laser Glaives skill. Crowbar, Backup Magazine, Bandolier, Alien Head and Lens-Maker’s Glasses She can use on-hit items if you decide to build on her Strafe skill but it will be lackluster and be significantly weaker than Commando’s build or The Captain’s build. Her main damage output comes from her Laser Glaives and it needs multiple targets to be effective. She can be fast at killing multiple targets but has trouble with bosses. The Huntress survivor has great multipliers and has a great mix of good mobility and damage output. ![]() ![]() ![]() This helps you keep important and confidential workspace documents in properly-categorized folders without initiating the download process manually. You can use the software's features to place similar time settings for multiple downloads. ![]() If you want to use IDM in an organization-style setting, it comes in hand with its synchronization capabilities. There are also various post-process operations, such as scheduling download processes and shutting down the computer on process completion. With several filters, you can easily access the file within seconds. Thus, you don’t need to go through long lists of downloads to find a specific file. The application lets you categorize the files as per the creation date, file size, and other information. With multiple customization options, you don’t need to worry about any restrictions. This software features a wide range of presets, such as documents, general, videos, music, and more. Once you’ve downloaded a file, you can set an output directory, category, and other relevant parameters. While programs like Download Accelerator Plus allow you to speed up video downloads, this one lets you organize files. Once you’ve successfully downloaded IDM, it allows you to either use the command line to import files from source folders or drag and drop each file manually. Therefore, IDM integrates well with a wide range of internet browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and more. The best part about using IDM is that it supports multiple proxy servers, FTP and HTTP protocols, audio and video content processing, cookies, redirects, authorization, and firewalls. You can either return to the web browser to look for more videos or choose to play the video after the process is complete. When you click "download", it displays a pop-up message to provide updates on the process. In fact, medium or small-sized files take only a few seconds to download. With this application, even large-sized video files can be downloaded within seconds. Moreover, it reuses server connections for better performance. This helps you sort through a long list of downloads within seconds. It assigns each file to a different category. Unlike other similar tools for Windows PCs, this software segments files throughout the download process. In order to speed up the downloading process, it uses a multi-part downloading module. This helps to not only download videos but also to organize them efficiently. ![]() While most popular programs like Free YouTube Download focus on downloading YouTube videos only, IDM comes with a logic accelerator that allows for dynamic file segmentation. Integration with popular platforms: IDM seamlessly integrates with various internet browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, providing ease of use across different platforms.Site grabber: A unique utility allowing users to download all images from a website, expanding its utility beyond video downloads.Resuming and scheduling: The tool enables users to resume interrupted or broken downloads, saving valuable time in restarting processes due to network issues or interruptions.Acceleration power: IDM accelerates downloads by up to 5 times the normal speed, making it a standout choice for users seeking faster downloads. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, in Windows 7/Vista, you can change the Autoplay settings through the control panel (you can find the settings under Hardware and Sound->Play CDs or other media automatically) however, I prefer to make this change in the Registry so that the process is consistent across Windows versions. Microsoft has defined a specific Registry key to control the behavior of Autorun/Autoplay, which is respected in all of the modern Windows versions (2000/XP/2003/Vista/7). Here are few tips and tricks for making that happen: Disable Autorun/Autoplayĭisabling Autorun/Autoplay will prevent your system from automatically starting applications on removable/attachable media (if defined in an autorun.inf file). Write blockers will prevent the accidental alteration of data, but sometimes you won't have a write blocker handy or you won't have a specific write blocker for the type of media that you need to image, so it is best to keep your system in a state that is as forensically safe as possible. ![]() Normally this is a good thing, however, many of the things that Windows does for your convenience can at best be an annoyance to your forensics workflow and at worst actually alter your evidence calling into question its integrity. But, I do recognize that out of the box Windows systems are not the most forensically sound environment - they love to automount drives, index files, and basically try to make your life easy. ![]() I understand that this statement will probably come with the requisite beatings, but I honestly enjoy using Windows on a day to day basis more than other operating systems and am willing to take whatever flack comes my way over it (and yes, my team at work loves to give me grief for it). ![]() ![]()
