Prove that conversation didn't happen. Of course it's not going to be in writing. Of course they are denying it now. Otherwise, there's literally no defense. So you either fall on the sword, or blame someone else.
I'm having a lot of fun chatting with characters using Faraday and koboldcpp. Faraday has a great UI that lets you adjust character profiles, generate alternative model responses, undo, or edit dialogue, and experiment with how models react to your input. There's also SillyTavern that I have yet to try out.
But to me, Oracle is the canonical example of getting nerds while they're young.
In university, I had access to Oracle databases, Oracle manuals, Oracle Linux, etc. Not through some special university approved lab set up - I could just go and download them. Even their acquired software like PeopleSoft etc.
I had NONE of that for DB2 or AIX, for example.
And their respective market share, I believe based on no evidence but strong belief, belies that strategy.
(disclaimer, I guess - I work for IBM, but ironically as an Oracle consultant... the early access really did work :-)
It depends on your conception of what it means to own land. We don’t generally view land ownership as absolute in the way we would for say a coffee mug. In some sense all land is partly owned by society, the deed owner has many rights, but not absolute ownership.
Yes. The move from 0 to 1 click exploits (thanks to putting Flash/Java behind a click) in the early 2000s marked a massive negative shift in attacker capabilities and ultimately destroyed multiple (black market) exploit dev businesses.
>Elite Dangerous is one of the worst. It's simply not fun. So pointlessly grindy for what is predominantly a single player game. I was so excited for the first 5-10 hours, and then so disappointed as it was obvious that every mechanic was just another massive progress bar that barely moved after hours of play.
Speak for yourself, I had a lot of fun for hundreds of hours and revisited the game multiple times over the years. I did space trucking and mining and combat at various times, and enjoyed never paying a monthly fee for an MMO.
Elite Dangerous was announced at the same time as Star Citizen, for comparison, and it's so old now that the main reason I don't play it anymore is because I did everything I could do in single player and the concept has finally lost its allure.
I have a friend who played thousands of hours because he was more social than I and wound up in a large player guild.
I love(d) Elite so much that I bought a VR headset and a joystick solely for it, and I don't regret these purchases.
There was another paper out recently that adds to this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.04430.pdf. Looks like a more flexible approach to document storage, and it outperforms retrieval in context.
They trained up their own LLM, but from the text it seems like it might be possible to use any LLaMA-style LM without retraining. Not sure though, need to give it a proper look.
I am deeply saddened by her passing. Her performances always featured powerful vocals driven by equally powerful emotion.
But her version of Pink Floyd's "Mother," performed live in Berlin in 1990 with Roger Waters, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, and Garth Hudson, was Sinead at her most
vulnerable and in my opinion, a full expression of her soul.
