![]() Meanwhile, Jimbo is a bit of a mess after losing her third lip sync this season (and sixth overall). This is not a case where existing RuPaul songs can be remixed, like we saw in All Stars 6’s Halftime Headliners challenge or in Season 14’s Moulin Ru! This will require all new music, written about an Old Hollywood figure that Ru reveres. She is not a Madonna or Cher, with musical styles that Leland and the song producers can mimic. Moreover, while Joan Crawford is an icon, there’s something that feels misjudged about choosing her as a Rusical subject. Moreover, Jimbo and Kandy Muse, two of the biggest characters of this season, notably bombed Rusicals in their previous seasons, with Jimbo eliminated and Kandy only saved thanks to Ru’s iconic “ Kandy wait!” moment. Sure, Alexis Michelle did well in her Rusical back in Season 9, but queens like Jaymes Mansfield, Jessica Wild, Kahanna Montrese and LaLa Ri have never done one. ![]() RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 continues Fridays on Paramount+ in the US, and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.I wouldn’t have expected it to be the Rusical challenge that would turn RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 8 around. On her way out, Jaymes jokes, “Well, I did better than last time!” She certainly did – and she will be missed. “I think Kandy maybe took an opportunity to eliminate a threat, but this is part of the game.” At least she takes it well. “I am gooped, gagged, and gobsmacked right now,” Jaymes admits. She picks up the win – and an extra $30,000 – and boots Jaymes from the competition. Kandy has to lip sync against Angeria Paris VanMichaels, and the slow song means she can serve face throughout. This is Kahanna’s third time in the bottom two, so surely she’s going to be sent home, right? WRONG! Jaymes somehow ends up in the bottom two, alongside Kahanna. Kandy is eventually named as the top All Star of the week. Kandy and Jessica cement themselves as the top two queens of the week with their incredible offerings, but again, everyone looks good! On the runway, category is Night of 1,000 Grace Joneses. This makes it harder for Mama Ru, who’s dressed like a Greek Goddess, to decide who’s in the bottom. Some are better than others, and there’s a hilarious bit where Jessica keeps saying “ass” instead of “axe.” Aren’t accents wonderful? Bring it to the runway Leland, meanwhile, helps the queen record their vocals. Jaymes Mansfield and Jimbo weren’t born to dance, but they do what they can. Kandy blows Jessica out of the water with her vocal ability, and gets the part.Ĭhoreography is with the special guest judge of the week, Adam Shankman. To make it a fair decision, they ‘audition’ for their fellow queens. Most get what they want, but Kandy Muse and Jessica Wild both want the same. The next day, the queens have to decide who will take on which role in the Joan Crawford Rusical. Even with Alexis Michelle noting she is the biggest threat, having won the most competitions. It’s a pretty unexpected moment, but the other queens rally around her. They choke up when describing how they fall flat when performing in front of RuPaul. Jimbo got a little emotional about losing their sixth lip sync in their Drag Race career. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars continued, as the remaining contestants were told they would have to perform in JOAN: The Unauthorized Rusical. Kahanna Montrese especially, as the vote would have unanimously sent her home. After a double save following the self-elimination of Heidi N Closet, the queens were happy to survive another day. ![]() The gripman has to crest the hill firmly gripping the cable. Watch a Powell gripman approaching this corner, particularly headed north from Market Street. This can damage both the cable and the grip.įortunately, because of the skill of the gripmen this almost never happens. To prevent the possibility of this happening, there is an alarm system and mechanism under Powell Street on either side of the California tracks to physically force the Powell cable from the grip if it is held too long. If there were no safeguards built into the system, a Powell cable car that held onto the cable too long at this point could pull the lower Powell cable up against the higher California cable and the Powell car’s grip could hit and potentially sever the California Street cable. The Powell Street cable cars, by contrast, must drop the cable from the grip before they cross the California Street tracks. The world’s only cable car crossing, at California (along bottom of photo) and Powell Streets, showing the Cable Car Control Tower on the corner, a fixture at the intersection since 1907. ![]() This means California Street cable cars hold onto the “rope” (cable) as they cross Powell Street. Adhering to the original cable tradition, the California line, which was built first (in 1878) is entitled to the upper cable. This lowers the car, and its grip, to the level of the cable underneath, allowing the grip to grasp the cable.Īmong other locations, this happens in both directions where the Powell and California cable lines cross. At other terminals (and at other locations on the system), you will see a noticeable dip in the tracks. This lifts the cable upward so the grip can grasp it. Taking and Dropping the ‘Rope’Īt some terminals, you will notice the conductor pulling on a lever in the street. If a cable car is going faster than that, it’s a sure thing that the car is going downhill and the grip is not holding the rope tightly. The cables move at a constant 9.5 miles per hour. The gripman (or gripwoman-two women in history have served in that position we’ll use ‘gripman’ to represent all, uh, grippers) can ‘take’ or ‘drop’ the ‘rope’ (as the cable is called) as needed to start or stop the car. The cables are over an inch in diameter, with six steel strands of 19 wires each wrapped around a core of sisal rope.Įach cable car has a mechanical grip (two on the double-end California cars) which latches onto the cable, much like a huge pair of pliers. As the cable naturally stretches out with use, the wheel is gradually moved back by shop workers to keep constant tension on the cable. When a cable is new, this rearmost wheel is close to the other winding wheels. The rearmost winding wheel in each set is adjustable. Here’s a map.Įach cable has its own set of winding wheels. There are actually four cables, one for the California line, one for Powell Street, and one each for the outer ends of the two Powell lines (Mason and Hyde). All of this was replaced with new but identical-appearing equipment by 1984. Cable car Powerhouse, 1981, showing the giant cable winding wheels and electric motors. ![]() There, powerful electric motors (originally a stationary steam-powered engine) drive giant winding wheels that pull cables through a trench beneath the street, centered under the cable car tracks (that’s what’s in that slot between the tracks). The power source is centralized in the cable car barn and powerhouse at Washington and Mason Streets (also home to the Cable Car Museum). Cable Cars have no engine or motor on the cars themselves.

For example, chatbots and Digital Assistants can recognize a wide variety of user requests, match them to the appropriate entry in a corporate database, and formulate an appropriate response to the user. Deep learning is a kind of machine learning that can learn very complex patterns from large datasets, which means that it is ideally suited to learning the complexities of natural language from datasets sourced from the web.Īpplications of Natural Language ProcessingĪutomate routine tasks: Chatbots powered by NLP can process a large number of routine tasks that are handled by human agents today, freeing up employees to work on more challenging and interesting tasks. However, the major breakthroughs of the past few years have been powered by machine learning, which is a branch of AI that develops systems that learn and generalize from data. Research on NLP began shortly after the invention of digital computers in the 1950s, and NLP draws on both linguistics and AI. Computational linguistics (CL) is the scientific field that studies computational aspects of human language, while NLP is the engineering discipline concerned with building computational artifacts that understand, generate, or manipulate human language. The understanding by computers of the structure and meaning of all human languages, allowing developers and users to interact with computers using natural sentences and communication. This is also called "language out” by summarizing by meaningful information into text using a concept known as "grammar of graphics." NLG has the ability to provide a verbal description of what has happened. Natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG) refer to using computers to understand and produce human language, respectively. ![]() There are several other terms that are roughly synonymous with NLP. For example, some email programs can automatically suggest an appropriate reply to a message based on its content-these programs use NLP to read, analyze, and respond to your message. Other examples of tools powered by NLP include web search, email spam filtering, automatic translation of text or speech, document summarization, sentiment analysis, and grammar/spell checking. NLP applies both to written text and speech, and can be applied to all human languages. When we ask questions of these virtual assistants, NLP is what enables them to not only understand the user’s request, but to also respond in natural language. For instance, NLP is the core technology behind virtual assistants, such as the Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA), Siri, Cortana, or Alexa. This is also called “language in.” Most consumers have probably interacted with NLP without realizing it. Natural language processing has the ability to interrogate the data with natural language text or voice. Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers to comprehend, generate, and manipulate human language.

And while it will never come close to matching the output from the best camera phones, the S62 Pro has a trick up its sleeve - FLIR thermal imaging. The S62 Pro uses a single 12MP sensor for its photos and a 8MP sensor on the front. Kyocera says that you can shoot photos and videos underwater easily. The DuraForce Ultra has two cameras: a 24MP main shooter paired with a 16MP ultrawide lens. Cat S62 Pro: Camera, software, and other features Winner: Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G UW vs. The S62 Pro recharged to 17% in 15 minutes and 37% in 30 minutes. The DuraForce Ultra was able to get to 18% in 15 minutes and 40% in 30 minutes. We also tested charge times at the 15-minute and 30-minute markers. The Cat impressed us, given that it’is using a smaller battery and lasted just 13 minutes less than the Kyocera. The DuraForce Ultra (with 5G support) managed 12 hours and 29 minutes, while the S62 Pro came in at 12 hours and 16 minutes. The Kyocera features a 4,500 mAh battery while the Cat has a 4,000 mAh battery, but despite those differences in battery size, these two phones ran neck and neck for battery longevity. That’s a bit higher up than the DuraForce’s 1.5 meter drop onto concrete. According to Cat, the S62 Pro can survive a fall onto steel from 6 feet. (Note that it picks up and holds onto dust pretty easily.) The Cat phone sports IP68 and IP69 standards, which means that the phone can survive underwater up to 1.3 meters and resist dust entirely. The S62 Pro, meanwhile, is a smaller phone with a rubberized back for that extra grip. It’s a hefty device at 9.8 ounces and quite tall at 6.2 inches. The DuraForce Ultra can shrug off shock, too. The Sapphire Shield Display protects the display from scratches and cracks. ![]() The phone will also survive 2 meters underwater for 30 minutes. ![]() The DuraForce Ultra can withstand 1.5 meter drops onto concrete, and it can hold off dust thanks to its IP6X certification. In the case of the DuraForce Ultra and S62 Pro, both are built to survive water, dust, drops, and almost anything else you can think of. |
