Doesn't look so alone to me, there are some friendly fish right there!

 

The Day of the Vara event ended about 19 hours ago, but I've still been able to find multiple dark bear helmets in red/green lootboxes on the crusader platforms.

I don't think that these helmets will count towards the event, but if anyone still wants to grab a few before the next wipe, it looks like they're still findable.

But he does have a guess as to why Nintendo targeted him. The first copyright strike landed on his video about the MIG Dumper and the MIG Flash, a pair of devices that let you turn genuine Nintendo Switch cartridges into digital files and then carry around an entire library of those ROMs in a special microSD-equipped flash cartridge for your console. I’ve watched the video, and while Crandall does explicitly take an anti-piracy stance, it’s easy to imagine these gadgets being used by bad actors, too. 

“I think the first strike was simply due to the fact that they wanted to minimize attention around the MIG Flash cartridge and dumper [...]"

Looks like he also mirrors his channel on Odysee, so the removed videos can still be seen here: https://odysee.com/@retrogamecorps:6/mig-flash-v2-and-cartridge-dumper-review:9

Kitboga has used AI (STT, LLMs, and TTS) to waste the time of Scammers.

There are AI tools being used to develop new cures which will benefit everyone.

There are AI tools being used to help discover new planets.

I use DLSS for gaming.

I run a lot of my own local AI models for various reasons. Whisper - for Audio Transcriptions/Translations.

Different Diffusion Models (SD or Flux) - for some quick visuals to recap a D&D session.

Tesseract OCR - to scan an image and extract any text that it can find (makes it easy to pull out text from any image and make it searchable).

Local LLMs (Llama, Mixtral) for brainstorming ideas, reformatting text, etc. It's great for getting started with certain subjects/topics, as long as I verify everything that it says.

For fun I'll probably setup GLaDOS like what was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1csnexs/local_glados_now_running_on_windows_11_rtx_2060/

Orison in Star Citizen. One of the coolest cloud cities in gaming with some of the most amazing sunsets.

Edit: It's hard to pick a picture that captures the experience (so I picked a few). A video is better, but actually being there in-game is a whole other level. Everything from the bars, food court, living spaces, shipyard and space port add to the experience.

I understand, that definitely makes sense then.

This isn't an article about mistranslations.

This is an article focusing on how asking about US election questions in Spanish will give you answers that are for the wrong country, or just wrong in most cases when compared to asking the same question in English.

One example is that, if someone in Puerto Rico were to ask ChatGPT 4/Claude/Gemini/Llama/Mixtral a US Election question, it would respond with information for Venezuela/Mexico/Spain instead.

If a post is deleted for any reason it nukes everything, even the comments.

I can't go back and view any comments that I was replying to or that I had saved, I can only see my own comment.

Same, I'd say it's way better than most other transcription tools I've used, but it does need to be monitored to catch when it starts going off the rails.

Whisper isn't a large language model.

It's a speech to text (STT) model.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago

Rather than making it illegal to use, people need to use these tools responsibly. If any of these companies are using almost any kind of AI/machine learning they need to include a human in the loop that can verify that it's working correctly. That way if it starts hallucinating things that were never said, it can be caught and corrected.

I've found that Whisper generally does a better job at translating/transcribing audio than other open source tools out there, so it's not garbage.. But it absolutely is a hazard if you're trying to rely solely on it for official documents (or legal issues).

As far as promotion goes... It's open source software, it's not being sold.

As someone who uses Whisper fairly often, it's obvious that they've trained off of a bunch of YouTube videos.

Most of the time it's very accurate, but there have definitely been a few times in long transcription sessions where it will randomly hallucinate that someone is saying "Don't forget to like and subscribe!" When nothing was said anywhere near that.

Thanks! I definitely need to upgrade from the starter ship.

We have 1 random Hybrid hotfixed on LIVE to test if the fix is working. So far it hasn't crashed after 50 minutes :slightly_smiling_face: Still needs much more soak time to be sure the fix is safe but will let you all know the second we start spreading to further hybrids on live!


Devops is opening more hotfixed hybrids after 60 minutes (so in about 10 minutes) Will start replacing some of the crashed out ones as they go down


We're waiting for the hybrid hotfix to take over most of the LIVE ones before pushing the hotfix to the live channel

A quick note to our Solo Players

Today [1hr 31min ago]

Hey,

So, firstly sorry for the slow response. I have unsurprisingly been very busy post citcon with 4.0 and Q1 initiatives.

Secondly, I wanted to reassure everyone that AI blades are part of the 1.0 plan - they will not be as effective as other players and they will take additional power to run. We will also be offering a way of upgrading them through tiers but again they will never be as good as a good player.

Also as AI Blades provide most of the functionality, NPC crew will most likely be a post 1.0 plan.

As I said in the presentation, Star Citizen is a universe that caters to all players - and that most definitely includes solo players. As with all games some things will more suitable to solo than group play and vice versa.

With that said, I better get back to work as I have two games to ship for you all.

Cheers,
Rich
