![]() No matter what we tested, this set made peeling a breeze. The full set does take up more room than a single peeler, but we appreciate that each has a blade guard to keep your fingers safe. This ergonomic Oxo set comes with three different style blades-a swivel, a julienne, and a serrated-so you'll have peelers year-round for every recipe. Sure, you can only have one peeler with a straight blade, but it's also nice to have options. ![]() Size: 5.8 x 12.4 x 2.9 inches | Weight: 2.2 pounds | Method of Operation: Electric | Dishwasher Safe: Yes Still, this is a particularly versatile attachment as it was able to slice any veggie or fruit we tried-even dense sweet potatoes. The peeler worked well for our apple crisps, but we did note that irregular shapes (like a sweet potato) can cause it to skip small sections of peel. After some trial and error, we were able to core apples successfully and get uniform pieces that were easy to remove. The slicing and spiralizing functions performed extremely well and will definitely save you time in the kitchen. We used the attachment to peel, slice, and spiralize apples for apple crisps, and found all the blades to be extremely sharp. The parts include a fine spiralizer, a medium spiralizer, a spiral slice (small core), a spiral slice (large core), and a peeler. As with all of the KitchenAid attachments, this one is sturdy and hardworking. If you already own a KitchenAid mixer, this attachment makes peeling, coring, and slicing apples and other fruit and vegetables a breeze. For serious cooks and bakers, the KitchenAid mixer and its attachments are some of the best investments you can make. ![]()

This definitely needs to be stated in the paper. pruning algorithm, minimizing the sum of absolute values of the pruned weights. Update: The authors' response includes the crucial fact that they switched to an L1 version of the Narang et al. (2017) minimizes the maximum magnitude among the pruned weights. It looks like the pruning method of Narang et al. On the other hand, there's no discussion of consistency between the objective being optimized by the base pruning method P and the one being optimized by the reordering steps in the algorithm. 5-6) that reduced the running time of reordering from over 2 hours to under 1 minute for the VGG16 model. It's interesting to see the optimizations in Section 4.2 (p. On one hand, the row/column reordering algorithm makes intuitive sense. The quality of the algorithm section is mixed. ![]() Update: the authors' response reports 10x and 3x speed-ups for MNIST and CIFAR it will be good to include those numbers in the paper. It would be even more persuasive to show wall time speed-up numbers for those networks as well (in addition to the sparsity-accuracy curves). The paper also gives results for MNIST and CIFAR-10, suggesting that the improvement is not specific to one network. The results are clearest for VGG16 on ImageNet. Quality: The empirical results are good, showing a dramatic speed-up over the unstructured sparse baseline and a significant accuracy improvement compared to the baseline without reordering. It would be good to include the no-reordering curves in Fig. 6 makes it easy to see the comparison to the unstructured-pruning baseline, but it's harder to compare to the baseline of block pruning without reordering - I needed to cross-reference with the accuracy numbers in Fig. Update: I appreciate the discussion of these points in the response. It would also be helpful to say exactly what is meant by a block-sparse matrix here: a key point is that a regular grid of blocks is fixed ahead of time (if I understand correctly from the blocksparse library documentation), in contrast to, say, a general block-diagonal matrix, where the blocks can have arbitrary sizes and alignments. It would be helpful to describe that method explicitly. 2, line 54), I assume it's the method of Narang et al. Based on a comment at the end of the introduction (p. First, it's hard to tell exactly what base pruning method was used in the experiments. Clarity: For the most part, the paper is easy to follow. I couldn't find a reference to that paper in the current manuscript it would be good to include it. Update: The authors' response mentions that their algorithm was inspired by a 2010 paper (on a different problem) by Goreinov et al. I didn't find any prior work tackling the exact problem being addressed here, but it would be helpful to consider how insights from that literature might be useful for the current problem. Some of that literature is summarized with diagrams at. ![]() Heath (1999) "Improving performance of sparse matrix-vector multiplication". Duff (1996) "An approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm". There also seems to be a large literature in the computational linear algebra community on reordering rows and columns to make better use of sparsity. (2017) that proposes block-level pruning for neural nets without row/column reordering. Originality: The paper builds on a preprint by Narang et al. On balance, though, I think the paper is worth publishing. The proposed reordering algorithm could use more analysis and could be better related to previous work. Summary of evaluation: The paper shows solid empirical results for pruning network weights in a way that doesn't lose much accuracy and actually speeds up inference, rather than slowing it down due to indexing overhead. I've added some more comments in the body of my review, marked with the word "Update". Update: I appreciate the authors' responses. Experiments on the VGG16 network for ImageNet show that this method achieves better speed-accuracy trade-offs than either unstructured weight pruning or block pruning without reordering. The paper's innovation is an iterative algorithm for reordering the rows and columns of a tensor to group together the large weights, reducing the accuracy loss from block pruning. This paper imposes block sparsity, where each weight tensor is divided into fixed blocks (of size 32 x 32, for example) and non-zero weights are specified in only a fraction of the blocks. ![]() Simply pruning small weights yields unstructured sparsity, which is hard to exploit with standard libraries and hardware. ![]() This paper deals with sparsifying the weights of a neural net to reduce memory requirements and speed up inference. ![]() ![]() ![]() Strength and Power or Back Country Adventure Of note were the addition (this year) of LED headlights and fog lights for improved highway and backcountry travel visibility.

See the 20 models compared side by side here. The 2013 version hasn’t changed much since the past model year, the only major change being the addition of that available 3.6-liter V-6 engine, a step up from the entry-level 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. I drove the well-equipped AWD LTZ with a new 3.6-liter V-6 engine, plus optional MyLink radio with navigation. Shoppers can choose between FWD and AWD in any of the Chevrolet Equinox trim levels, which include LS, 1LT, 2LT and LTZ (see all-wheel-drive versions side-by-side here). When climbing in for the first time, my 10-year-old daughter exclaimed, “Mom, this is the coolest car ever! Can we pretty please keep it?” We’d consider hitting the Ford, Mazda, or Honda stores instead.The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is a capable crossover SUV with a sliding rear seat that can flex and grow with your family, draping occupants in an interior that’s more luxurious and spacious-feeling than many of its body-type competitors. But slightly improved handling and more power only go so far, and they do nothing for the poor rear visibility, hefty curb weight, and overall lackluster dynamics that keep this Chevy behind much of its competition. With any luck, it’ll distract the kids from the engine noise.Ĭonsidering the speed at which the segment turns over-and the excellence found within it-Chevy needed to tinker with the Equinox, an entry that has never been fully competitive. ![]() Also new is an available rear-seat entertainment system that includes monitors in the back of the front headrests, dual wireless headphones, and a dual-player DVD setup-again, available as an option only on LT and LTZ trims. Those two trims also gain an eight-way power passenger seat (optional on the LT) and a Safety package, which includes forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, and radar-based rear park assist. The result is less bobbing and weaving over undulating surfaces and an incrementally improved perception of grip during cornering.Īs for the interior, Chevy MyLink with navigation makes its way to the options list for the first time-in the past, buyers were forced to choose between a navigation system and MyLink-although it will be available only on the mid-level LT and range-topping LTZ trim levels. The Equinox now features dual-flow dampers the 2013 Chevy Traverse, the 2013 Buick Enclave, and the Equinox’s equally updated 2013 GMC Terrain platform mate are among the other vehicles that get them. The 3.6 is considerably louder for those in the second row, who are treated to a slightly buzzy, metallic note.Īlong with the new engine comes a revised suspension. (The previous V-6 offered maximum power and twist at 69 rpm, respectively the new motor churns them up at 65.) From the sliding rear seat, however, we detected a significant difference in engine noise. The upshift-happy six-speed automatic carries over, as do high output peaks that encourage a heavy right foot and make frugality difficult. We had a chance to drive all-wheel-drive Equinoxes with old and new V-6s back-to-back, and we found no difference in drivability beyond the extra kick in the pants. (A four-cylinder model we tested did the deed in 8.7 seconds.) We estimate 0-to-60-mph times of 6.8 seconds for the front-wheel-drive version and 7.2 seconds for all-wheel-drive models. The good news for the fuel-conscious is that estimated economy figures for the new V-6 versus the 3.0 are identical-17 mpg city and 24 highway with front-wheel drive and 16/23 with AWD (okay, so good news for the sorta fuel-conscious)-despite the increases in displacement and power. This latest version of the 3.6 sees duty across the GM portfolio, the Cadillac CTS and the 2013 GMC Terrain among others. For Chevy, then, getting rid of the 264-hp, 3.0-liter V-6 would make sense, right? Except it bucked the downsizing trend and replaced the 3.0-liter with a 301-hp, 3.6-liter direct-injected V-6. Honda has never offered a V-6 in the CR-V, the 2013 Escape went exclusively four-cylinder (albeit with two optional turboed engines), and Mazda’s CX-5 is packing the least powerful four-banger in the segment, despite being brand-new. (The Toyota RAV4, a multiple comparison-test winner, will get a reboot soon.) But with no full do-over on the docket just yet for its handsome but ho-hum Equinox, Chevy clearly still had to make a move. Within the past year, the Honda CR-V and the Ford Escape-two 800-pound gorillas in the compact-crossover segment-have been completely redesigned. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Consequences- Receive global modifier: Embargo on vegetables (Everybody takes 15% longer to eat ?).We won't sell you any more vegetables until you leave.

A lot of Houdini users are afraid to use vex because they do not know how to code. After this you have uniform distributed points along the curve (point distances to neighbours on the curve are equal - which is the same for the u-coordinates). First you apply the normal resample operator on the curve. If you delete all other points, you will have a single point moving along the curve. I've tried to create a very minimalistic ramp based resample wrangle. You can use the Carve node to shorten or extend a curve to its maximum length. And a third form that allows you to return a float chramp( string float float ) Then there are the two forms that return a vector from a ramp intended to work with colour type ramps. Vex can be a powerful tool when used in procedural modelling. A ramp does not make sense, but a slider does. float chramp( string float ) There is a second form that takes an additional argument, 0, 1 or 2 that allows you to access an individual component from a vector colour ramp. You can call it like chramp ('ramp1', u), chramp ('ramp2', u) (if ‘ramp’ is. In the wrangle you have access by using the function chramp (). Now you can add a ramp to this folder and set a specific name/label. Vex can be a powerful tool when used in procedural modelling. One varies color along the length of the ramp, creating a gradient, and the other varies. The one above is the simplest form where the assumption is that you will fetch the first component of the ramp parameter. Hi, in a wrangle you can add a folder (using edit parameter interface) and change the type of the folder to multiparm block (list). Houdini support RGB color ramps and floating point (spline) ramps. chramp() has several different variadic forms. You “could” cast one of the variables to a float but a subtle method is to add or subract a float to one of the integers and you will return a float. Not what you want: 0 or 1 with nothing in-between. Dividing an integer by an integer gives you an integer. Just add two ramps, one a float and one a colour called “ramp” and “rampclr” then try this out: float pct = // get percentage weight along curve float rampval = chramp(“ramp”, pct) = rampval vector rampclr = chramp(“ramp”, pct) = rampclr Some notes: That “- 1.0” is critical as both ptnum and Npt are integers. Here's a basic method to get it to work for an example where you want to drive pscale along a curve by using a ramp. ![]() To solve this, we can use some very simple vex in creative. ![]() I assume you have the ramp added to the Wrangle operator (Point Wrangle in my case) added to the node's interface.
