So why is palworld seemingly so much more successful? Niche games like these mean nothing if they don’t appeal to a broad enough audience to be successful. I would have initially said the same thing about palworld but now it’s the #1 game on steam of all time and in hindsight it is so easy to see why.
But doctors are required to report anything that they identify as an immediate physical threat (e.g., to the patient or because of the patient). I found out recently that this is entirely subjective - different doctors have different ideas about what constitutes a threat. So, in a lot of ways, no, medical secrecy may not protect you if you tell the wrong doctor.
We already have DNA tests for that which don’t require a whole database? A comprehensive DNA database could be used for extreme evil, such as mass systemic genocide or eugenics.
It’s because we like the challenge. Also how salty people get when they lose to my f-tier character.
I feel like I need to step in and personally rebuke this shit. Voting absolutely does work. Showing up to vote once isn’t going to magically fix everything - it’s going to take many election cycles to reverse course. US policy doesn’t reflect the will of the people because we’ve been apathetic for so long. Saying “voting doesn’t help” implies there’s no point in voting, and not voting guarantees that we will lose our democracy. I’m sympathetic to those who have been hurt by the conservative and capitalist agenda in this country who are losing hope, but making claims like this essentially makes you an ally to the corpofascist machine.
Please vote.
I believe that Disney/Star Wars actually owns the trademark on the word “Droid” and they make money on every droid-phone sold.
I haven’t checked in on it for a long time but I remember kindred fates also looking promising.
There’s a restaurant in my hometown of Lexington, KY called "“Frank and Dino’s.” It’s owned by Carlo Baccarezza who has ties John Gotti, who was Italian mafia. He’s a horrible person and has been sued by former employees of the restaurant for discrimination.
He opened this place just before the pandemic. It’s supposed to be a fine-ish dining establishment with authentic Italian. The prices are high, but the food is terrible. It might be passable for someone who doesn’t know authentic Italian. In any case, the restaurant sits empty most of the day, and it doesn’t make sense to me why you would open a place like this and just allow it to have a terrible reputation that’s mostly empty day in and day out.
Seems reasonable. I’ll add in that there are models specifically finetuned for storytelling. You might check out this thread for some other model suggestions. I think you will also likely want to find a framework for RLHF.
Depends on your hardware and how far you’re willing to go. For serious development I think you need at least 12-16 GB of VRAM, but there’s still some things you can do with ~8. If you just have a cpu, you can still test some models but generation will be slow.
I’d recommend trying out the oogabooga webui. This should work with quite a few models on hugging face. Hopefully I don’t get in trouble for recommending a subreddit but r/localllama has a lot of other great resources and us a very active community. They’re doing exactly what you want.
As far as your other questions…
Accessing it on your phone is going to be tricky. You would most likely want to host it somewhere but I’m not sure how easy that is for someone without a bit of software background. Maybe there is a good service for this, huggingface might offer something.
Cross thread referencing is an interesting idea. I think you would need to create a log store of all your conversations and then embed those into a a vector store (like milvus or weaviate or qdrant). This is a little tricky since you have to decide how to chunk your conversations, but it is doable. The next step is somewhat open ended. You could always query your vector store with any questions that you are already sending your model, and then pass any hits to the model along with your original question. Alternatively, you could tell the model to check for other conversations and trigger a function call to do this on command. A good starting point might be this example, which makes references to a hardware manual in a Q&A style chatbot.
Using an LLM with stable diffusion: not especially sure what you are hoping to get out of this. Maybe to reduce boilerplate prompt writing? But yes you can finetune a model to handle this and then have the model execute a function that calls stable diffusion and returns the results. I am pretty sure langchain provides a framework for this. Langchain is almost certainly a tool you will want to become familiar with.
There’s a paywall on the article, so maybe there are details there that I’m missing. I also wasn’t very politically aware until ~2016. Out of curiosity, can you elaborate on why this person caused hillary to lose in 2016? I always assumed it was overconfidence on her part (e.g., not even bothering to campaign in Wisconsin) and then the report from James Comey literally days before the election that tanked her.
The whole industry is hellbent on a race to the bottom, with the exception of a few companies who release extremely high quality content once every 5-10 years. I would say that I’m less of a gamer today because of so many disappointing letdowns from groups like Activision. I’m honestly surprised that this is more of a problem than purchasing Bethesda or Obsidian. The court case basically only focused on COD - what about the rest of Activision’s massive IP portfolio?? It just seemed like an afterthought in comparison.
I think we’re in a weird spot where there is currently less competition to make amazing games because Sony has been so dominant. It came out in the FTC trial (or because of it?) that Sony just pays developers for exclusivity. If the console with 80% of your sales is going to also give you extra money, why wouldn’t you take that?? Then as a consumer, the pattern becomes that Xbox gets less exclusives (or gets games a year later). Why would I buy an Xbox if it’s roughly equal to PS but gets games a year later lol?? This is like a vicious cycle.
The exclusivity deals and consolidation are 100% anti-consumer but I’m hopeful that this will redouble PS-Xbox’s competition. E.g., it looks like Xbox really wants starfield to be a massive success; they could have released the game last year but they opted for another year of polish in order to cement a huge winner for the platform. What if every major exclusive got that treatment? That is a win for gamers imo. Only time will tell.
There is absolutely alt-right content on lemmy. That said, it is mostly drowned out. I saw several alt-right communities when I joined lemmy 3 weeks ago with only 1 member. These people were trying to build echo chambers by themselves. Other lemmy users would come in and start posting articles from regular media which pretty much shut down. I think it’s great that users here don’t want to allow it to be a safe haven for that kind of stuff, unlike the numerous other “free speech” websites that actively encourage it.
Not entirely sure what the commenter was referring to, but it might be about tracking (Firefox has great anti-tracking and privacy tech). The real money on the web comes from ads, and specifically targeted ads. Targeted ads require that advertisement companies like Facebook and Google track you and build a profile based on your activity. Companies like reddit make money by helping to build these profiles and by delivering ads.
If you can still be targeted by ads, the powers that be will continue to try and “make a buck” off the internet. If there is a market for targeted ads, it is likely that a service will be monetized for the sake of profit, which typically leads to situations like what we’ve seen with reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc… Privacy is essentially an ad-business killer in the modern web.
The rationale appears to be that they don’t have the moderation tools necessary to deal with an unvetted userbase. Lemmy.world doesn’t require any prior user verification, so anyone can join (just like reddit). Beehaw claims that they were receiving a large amount of trolls or other negative traffic from lemmy.world and shitjustworks, so they have temporarily defederated these instances.
This may change if better modding tools come around.
It is entirely job dependent. I have been in jobs where it was just a grind and going the extra mile simply put a smile on my boss’s face. In jobs like these the best thing you can do is carve out as many hours as possible during the work week to build new skills or apply to other jobs. I’ve also been in jobs where going the extra mile directly contributed meaningful skills to my resume/portfolio and helped me get a new job with way better pay.
