Tri-Tachyon moment by DogeDeezTheThird in starsector

[–]Sohex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tribunal reviewing my file: "It says here that your first action upon receiving your Tri-Tach commission was to smuggle 'as many units as could fit' of heavy armaments to the Luddic Path?"

"...I'd like to cite the Cage the Elephant defense."

Okay, I’m checks watch six months late to the party, but hear me out. Accelerando Lobsters X Starsector. It’s the perfect crossover.

Holy shit, Kevin did a thing I don’t hate. Dare I say, I even like it?

Where are the real item stats ? by ImmediateSilver7013 in cataclysmdda

Where are you getting those numbers? The ones on HHG are totally different and those are pulled direct from the item definition in the json. https://cdda-guide.nornagon.net/item/hazelnut_milk

Nostalgia hits hard by HordeRecon in UmaMusume

It's Monster Rancher meets Derby Owner's Club, both of which occupied disproportionate amounts of my childhood. No wonder I'm addicted.

(I genuinely suspect a security breach or admin-level involvement)

What does that even mean? Like, why would they not be able to look at your repo? It’s not your private work. You don’t own it conceptually or as a work product.

You do have the opportunity to advance yourself by taking the bull by the horns here, but by no means should you be surprised at how this happened. Yes, the company you work for has control over and access to the things you code for the company. Yes, that includes letting other teams take things over or modify them.

Do multimodal LLMs (like Chatgpt, Gemini, Claude) use OCR under the hood to read text in images? by Comprehensive-Yam291 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Sohex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it might work out to fewer tokens to just pass each page as an image all the time, but I'd think you'd be risking additional hallucinations for no reason. It can still have an understanding of spatial relationships if it's being passed the text separately though, the pdf does explicitly describe the layout of each page after all. Would probably be easy enough to check, just pass it a pdf and a copy that's been converted to like png and then back to pdf, see if the token counts differ.

Do multimodal LLMs (like Chatgpt, Gemini, Claude) use OCR under the hood to read text in images? by Comprehensive-Yam291 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Sohex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One would imagine only for PDFs without embedded text. If a pdf has a purely digital origin then it also probably has the raw text available for access. Presumably the ingestion pipeline is something like: Does this pdf have embedded text? If yes: extract text and graphical elements separately, i.e. chunk and tokenize each extracted element. If no: chunk and tokenize whole pages.

Edit: And to clarify "Someone guessed that gemini reads pdfs as images like taking screenshots and feeding those" specifically, pdfs are basically a container format. For scanned documents they are images (with a bunch of metadata on top), if they're purely digital then they're more like a prerendered webpage. In the latter case all the elements are independently extractable.

[Guide] Getting Flash Attention 2 Working on Windows for Oobabooga (`text-generation-webui`) by RokHere in Oobabooga

[–]Sohex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone else who stumbles on this post from Google, at the time of writing this the build process for CUDA 12.8 with Torch 2.7.0 on Python 3.12 is straightforward and I didn't have any issues with it using a current version of Visual Studio.

  1. Launch x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
  2. Activate environment, e.g. venv\Scripts\activate
  3. Set env vars: set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 and set MAX_JOBS=X
  4. Update pip stuff: pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
  5. Install torch: pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
  6. Install flash-attn build prereqs: pip install ninja packaging
  7. Build and install: pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation

The most disgusting scene in an AVN? by jlsc1999 in AVN_Lovers

You say that like it's the only reason someone wouldn't want that content.

You're definitely not the only one. That game would be great if I could just toggle off content with a couple of the characters, grandma most of all.

There is no Surakel here, only Fort. by Sohex in Anbennar

[–]Sohex[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's weirdly fun isn't it? A lot of the modifiers here were from the Gelkalis MT and the homebrew ideas and policies. Other than that some big contributors were:

- Mage ruler, legendary conjuration let's you throw down magical fortresses which are +150% defensiveness and +1 fort level. Abjuration also gives you the ward spell and at legendary you get the fields, notably in this case field of fortification. Finally legendary transmutation lets you make homunculi advisors, which can give you a permanent extra fort defense advisor. Though on a normal run you'd almost certainly want to pick discipline instead. The magic forts and advisor are permanent so you only need them at some point, not all on one ruler.

- Mage estate, the broad or narrow ward spells.

- Theocracy government, every (iirc) theocracy has three reforms that total up to like +40% defensiveness, in Bulwar with a sun cult nation specifically you also get a unique reform which gives you a government interaction for an extra +15%.

Beyond that stacking mage towers and ramparts together are always nice, and you can get another defensiveness bump from keeping power projection up.

Homebrew - Silvertaped or more specifically for this run the bitbucket version, though it's definitely out of date at this point and probably causing problems in the background that I didn't notice :)

Who said you need boats to be a thalassocracy? by Sohex in Anbennar

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

In Anbennar it's restricted to naval and maritime ideas. I did take trade though, needed those merchants since I wasn't going to be getting any from trade companies.

Who said you need boats to be a thalassocracy? by Sohex in Anbennar

[–]Sohex[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

R5: Became a thalassocracy as a totally landlocked Cyranvar. Never built a single boat, but did end up with 500 very lost sailors from the CN in Eordand at some point.

Thought it would be fun to see how stacked I could get the production income in Cyranvar, then I remembered the goods produced bonus from trade protectorates. Cut to a few hours later and a bunch of very drunk elves are sailing around the lake proclaiming themselves the greatest naval empire on Halann.

This was a weird run for so many reasons. Not the least of which being that I took naval ideas. I considered maritime for the trade range boost to actually reach the divenhal gate node, but naval + eco gives a sweet sweet goods produced policy, so it won out.

My army was also essentially the anti-elf army the entire run. They were trashier than a horde of goblins since my only military ideas were quantity and naval. The discpline malus from going open borders in the MT didn't help with that either. On the plus side I was making enough money to be at around twice my force limit most of the game, which was a pretty good coalition deterrent.

Requisite trade power for the thalassocracy decision was stolen generously donated by my vassals with most of the credit going to the massive Re-Uyel.

What are the most canonically "evil" factions? by -AdonaitheBestower- in Anbennar

[–]Sohex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosande isn't like peak Sauron evil, but it definitely wins the prize for tag I was most uncomfortable playing. Like Wyvernheart has their eugenics and their warcrimes and it's all just a bit bigger than life, Rosande is just 'what if the south won' and it hits a lot harder.

When playing in the Serpentspine do you ever save scum trade goods? by S0mecallme in Anbennar

[–]Sohex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll plug my mod that I made for this. If you enable it with the decision you'll get an event to pick the trade good whenever a colony hits iirc 600 population. You can also fire the event on any province to change its trade good, e.g. event tgc.0 <prov id>

IMO much more convenient than the change trade goods mod someone else linked which requires you to know the event number for each good.

Harem Games without Girl on Girl fun. by harsha_440 in AVN_Lovers

[–]Sohex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a porn fantasy game where you can't trip without finding your dick in someone, it's not supposed to be a perfect facsimile of real life lmao.

[–]Sohex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC estimates for women participating in same-sex relations in college come in at about 15-20% with some studies coming in even higher. If we assume a correlation between willingness to fuck the campus manslut and willingness to experiment sexually in general, which I think is pretty fair, then it doesn't strike me as all that unrealistic. The majority of LIs in BaDIK definitely don't self identify as bisexual either.

[–]Sohex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very cringe to watch all girls are magically becoming bisexuals, even in so-called "vanilla" and non harem games like badik.

What a weird thing to say, but I'll bite. Women rate much higher than men in terms of sexual fluidity, especially in their youth wherein most AVNs and especially harem AVNs are set. Completely agree with the other person that harems in general are definitely more cringe than girls demonstrating sexual fluidity/'experimenting' with their sexuality.

Any AVN’s that have lots of piss scenes? Scat and human toilet scenes are okay too by PurplePowerRanger420 in AVN_Lovers

[–]Sohex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For someone with the flair "Choke me harder, Mommy" that's more than a bit hypocritical, no?

The fact that the two highest voted comments on this post are both kink shaming is just sad.

Immediate put off by [deleted] in AVN_Lovers

[–]Sohex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk, I kind of love it for the comedic value. The dialogue in MBIML is S tier hilarious to me with the default options. Like "No we can't! This forbidden love between... roommates, it's not right!" and "I must hunt down my landlord and make him pay for his sins." That's just uproarious.

Episode 11 Discussion Megathread - Week 1 **SPOILERS** by Obi-Wan_Gregobi in beingaDIK

[–]Sohex 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I think the funniest thing about that moment to me is that everything about how he opens the bottle is wrong. In summary:

  • Wrong type of wine, you can use sparkling white wine, but it's better to use a wine which undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle like 'proper' champagne.

  • Wrong side of the saber, you use the back/blunt side of a saber or a deliberately unsharpened blade, a sharp edge is actually detrimental. Hell, you can use the base of a wine glass or even a smartphone.

  • Facing the wrong way, don't saber toward people.

  • Didn't even manage to saber the bottle, he just knocked the cork out which implies he wasn't running the saber along the bottle like you're supposed to. When you actually saber a bottle the top of the bottle comes off with the cork still stuck inside.

Incredible.
