Response Question Two: Situation and Setting: The section of today’s analysis deals with What? When? and Where? Today’s readings, “Daystar,” page 762, “The Beautiful Changes,” page 835, “Summer Storm,” [posted under Poetry link] all deal with situation and setting, as well as word choice. Please read these poems, and post your analysis of these poems, which must include the situation and setting. Please note the following, which will help you analyze the poem: Setting: the scene; the basic backdrop of the story, like the location, the year, the season. These are usually factual and describe the scene where the situation takes place. Examples of setting: · in a forest · in a clubhouse · surrounded by lions · at a cemetery at night · Talking with another person, Where? When? Why? · Talking to oneself (soliloquy) Where? When? Why? · Situation: describes what is going on within the setting. It is usually dynamic, telling a story of how characters interact with each other (or with the setting). Examples of situations: · a man and woman are fighting about whether to discipline their children · the poet loves a woman very much, but she has recently died, and he feels regret for never telling her of his love Response Question Two (cont’d) Language: This section deals with - - Word Choice and Order: In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz,” page 825, the word choice is extremely important. Many people read the poem and think that it is a poem about a young boy having a wonderful time dancing with his father. Others read it as child abuse. What is your opinion, and what words specifically made you think that way? RITA DOVE Daystar She wanted a little room for thinking: but she saw diapers steaming on the line, a doll slumped behind the door.  So she lugged a chair behind the garage 5 to sit out the children’s naps. Sometimes there were things to watch— the pinched armor of a vanished cricket, a floating maple leaf. Other days  she stared until she was assured 10 when she closed her eyes  she’d see only her own vivid blood. She had an hour, at best, before Liza appeared pouting from the top of the stairs.  And just what was mother doing 15 out back with the field mice? Why, building a palace. Later  that night when Thomas rolled over and lurched into her, she would open her eyes and think of the place that was hers 20 for an hour—where she was nothing,  pure nothing, in the middle of the day. RICHARD WILBUR The Beautiful Changes One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides The Queen Anne’s Lace1 lying like lilies  On water; it glides  So from the walker, it turns 5 Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.2 The beautiful changes as a forest is changed By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;  As a mantis, arranged 10 On a green leaf, grows  Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows. Your hands hold roses always in a way that say ...

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.
