It’s a little hard to imagine for us Americans, but internationally WhatsApp has a thriving unofficial ecosystem of businesses operating solely out of the chat app.
I love to hate on Meta as much as the next guy on Lemmy, but this is probably one of the sounder business decisions Meta has made in awhile.
…she shared her small enclosure with a male orca named Hugo for the first decade of her captivity. In 1980, Hugo died from a brain aneurysm after an extended period of banging his head against the tank’s spectator glass during fits of depression.
Just wanted to drop in and say that I love the unique design! It’s a little unhinged maybe but we absolutely need more fun apps like this for the fediverse. Will be trying it out. Thanks for working on it!
+1 for Lemmy.zip! Great folks here and an admin who cares a lot for the community.
Yep I’ve been keeping the quarterstaff on. It helps that it also has an ensnare modifier on it.
I took your advice, respecced and just chose ability points for high Dex and Wis for my 4 elements monk. I will see how this goes!
That’s great advice! Thanks again. Frankly I’m a little jealous that my wife’s barbarian is absolutely shredding through enemies with a self-returning javelin and I’m here with my sheepy monk finishing off the 1 health enemies because my damage is so low compared to hers.
Anyway, that’s all to say that I’ll take any recommendation that makes my monk more interesting in fights. I like the RP of playing as a monk, just not the weak sauce attacks. The utility of spells in way of the 4 elements has been fun though. We don’t have another spellcaster in the party so the push/pull/prone affects have been fantastic.
Thanks for the explanation. I see the original intent now. It does look like the version in BG3 is slightly more crippled than the original 5e take.
Charger: Weapon Attack does appear to do 5 more damage as my usual weapon attack is a 1d8+3, but the dash range is only 9m. With my normal movement range of 12m, that’s a total of 21m. A main action dash would’ve been 24m. Coupled with monk flurry of blows bonus action, it actually makes more sense to just dash + flurry rather than use this feat if my intention is maximizing range.
Charger: Shove runs into the same range issues. But with no 10 feet bonus to the push. Once again, a main action dash + bonus action shove works better and without taking up a feat.
Thanks for the note on respec. I haven’t talked to Withers till now.
It is sometimes possible to leave a conversation or scene. We’ve done this before and had another character jump in to run the skill check.
This is true for all browsers that have an incognito mode, not just Firefox.
Unless you’re using Tor, there’s not really a way to go 99% incognito.
I see your point. Rereading the OP, it looks like I jumped to a conclusion about LLMs and not AI in general.
My takeaway still stands for LLMs. These models have gotten huge with little net gain on each increase. But a Moore’s Law equivalent should apply to context sizes. That has a long way to go.
What drastically better results are you thinking of?
We’ve reached far beyond practical necessity in model sizes for Moore’s Law to apply there. That is, model sizes have become so huge that they are performing at 99% of the capability they ever will be able to.
Context size however, has a lot farther to go. You can think of context size as “working memory” where model sizes are more akin to “long term memory”. The larger the context size, the more a model is able to understand beyond the scope of it’s original model training in one go.
Image file format with excellent compression. It’s designed for web browsers, so what you’re probably running into is compatibility with other programs. It’s fairly easy to convert though to GIF or JPEG formats though.
This is the original post that went viral. People started posting beans memes to prove that it’s true for themselves.
Exactly. It’s 10 minutes. What kind of asshole do you have to be to demand it?
Makes sense. Could also give the mastodon community a little longer to mature.
I don’t disagree. You’re probably unlikely to find the same people on Mastodon that you followed on Twitter or elsewhere. Despite the growth it’s still a drop in the bucket of global social media users.
If it means anything, I started out with Mastodon hoping to follow popular figures and very quickly stopped caring for that. It was a lot more fun and interesting to talk to normal people with normal lives. But maybe that’s just me.
Who’re you hoping to follow? I might be able to recommend a few folks.
Curating your follows does take a minute in the beginning. This is a good starting point: https://discover.fedified.com/
The Bob Ross Mountain Dew video is incredibly eerie. Don’t think Bob Ross would have ever done anything like that.
Yeah
