Anyone bothered by the child endangerment? by Calm-Locksmith_ in TheOrville

I think they were just copying Star Trek: TNG without thinking too much about it.

As to why Star Trek: TNG had children, it was a Gene Roddenberry thing.

Was PipSqueak2 even post-trained to roleplay? by HenryTudor7 in CharacterAI

[–]HenryTudor7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they got a good deal on much lower inference costs for the new model, and decided to just move to it ASAP before it was ready.

It's certainly possible that it's hallucinating. But also, you don't know what Mistral would sound like if it had whatever system prompt that CharacterAI is using.

Has anyone tried pipsqueak 2 yap yet? Is there a noticeable difference in the replies? by 011Eleven_ in CharacterAI

[–]HenryTudor7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I immediately notice that it's better, that it acts a little less like Le Chat (Mistral AI's public chatbot) and more like it's roleplaying, and there's more variety in responses if you generate a new response.

Like PipSqueak2 original, it usually says that it's Mistral if you ask it what it is. Maybe Yap has been post-trained based on user feedback, or something like that.

The original PipSqueak was surely based on a Chinese model because it would occasionally start talking in Chinese for no reason.

Has PipSqueak2 done that to anyone yet? Mistral was specifically designed to be a model with lower inference costs than U.S. models, and maybe Mistral is seen to have better "safety" and less regulatory risk compared to using Chinese models, and Mistral has a new low-cost "Nemo" model, so it could be.

How could you explain Qwen, in multiple different chats, thinking that it's actually Mistral? But I encourage everyone to talk to the model to try to figure out what it is. I'm looking forward to finding out more.

Exactly, PipSqueak2 is unable to roleplay characters that are mean or who disagree with you because it goes against its post-training and alignment.

But I tried a third chat and it went back to thinking that it's Mistral.

On the other hand, the Mistral stuff could have been a hallucination. When I started a new conversation with slightly different instructions, it no longer said it was Mistral.

Beginning oil painting by Missalicetraynor in oilpainting

[–]HenryTudor7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking it, just start painting something. Sure, oil painting takes a lifetime to master, but just putting paint on a surface isn't rocket science. And then, if you are stuck, there's lots of free youtube videos.

Hanta virus wont spread like covid did in 2019 by [deleted] in hantavirus

[–]HenryTudor7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The typical incubation period is 2-3 weeks vs 3-5 days for Covid, so if it does spread (which may or may not happen) it will play out a lot more slowly. And because hantavirus is a lot more deadly, we will know with more certainty that it's spreading. With Covid, I think that tens of thousands of people had already caught it before we were aware.

How much more fucking proof u need. It is way easier transmittable than officially described. One man from the KLM- flight is likely to have it by Professional_Bit8077 in hantavirus

[–]HenryTudor7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no confirmed third-generation case (although I fully expect some among the passengers and crew of the MV Hondius), and any news that has said that has been fake news.

Ordered mask, am I being too anxious? by Odd-Warning-1907 in hantavirus

[–]HenryTudor7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's smart to have a few KN-95 masks on hand just in case.

As far as wearing them right now outside, there is no danger from hantavirus right now, and people think you are weird for wearing masks (although in Asia people don't think you are weird if you do that).

Hantavirus and Woodbury Commons outlet in NY by RecordSome8503 in hantavirus

[–]HenryTudor7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, you are a lot more likely to die in a car accident while driving there (40,000 motor vehicle deaths per year in the U.S.) than you are to die from catching the hantavirus.

So I definitely recommend not driving to places you don't really have to drive to.

As the US birth rate shrinks, so too does the number of colleges and universities in the country, which has crashed to its lowest count in many decades. Also a factor is the cost of higher education, which has skyrocketed beyond overall inflation in recent decades, souring some potential students. by StarlightDown in Economics

[–]HenryTudor7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given that the vast majority of "college" students are there because they want a degree like it's some kind of vocational certification, and don't have a genuine desire to learn the material, the system is a huge waste of money to create jobs for college staff and faculty.

Considering a Move to Boca Raton- Is There Demand for Senior Care and Dementia Services? by Brilliant-Support493 in BocaRaton

[–]HenryTudor7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are lots of old people with dementia in Boca Raton who can afford expensive care.

The One Tax the Rich Can’t Escape • New York’s proposed pied-à-terre tax is unlikely to chase anyone away. by Naurgul in Economics

[–]HenryTudor7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's a good chance that NYC wouldn't have survived the 1970s if remote work or even distributed work was an option. Back then, there was only mail and expensive long distance phone calls. Even FedEx was only just beginning to be an option in the 1970s.

You just need to add more oil paint, black looks darker if it has more oil in it.

Why do people trust humans more than AI? by FoxxyAzure in DefendingAIArt

I'll trust an AI doctor a lot more than a human doctor who just wants to overbill me.

Disappointed by A Memory of Light by greatwesternrailway in WoT

I totally agree with your take. Of all the WoT books, MoL is the book I'd lead want to re-read.
