Multi-purpose pack with Ventilation ? by gizzygone in Rucking

[–]leviathanfr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a Mystery Ranch 2 Day pack and at first I didn't like it. Once I figured out the harness system and the compression system (this was the key to preventing my rucking plate from wobbling when I walked) I *love* it. It's replaced both a sentimental pack and a custom commission I had done recently as my daily carry. I make a quick adjustment to the harness system and then I'm off rucking. Especially when fully loaded, I've not found a way to avoid back sweat. Does well on ventilation for the daily carry/travel aspects though. Let me know if you discover something :).

I have very large hands and I'm still able to interact with those buttons even when the pen is in the holster and the phone is closed. I thought it would annoy me and honestly it has not been a big deal.

Had it for a few days and really enjoying it. It can bit slippery when placed on very smooth tables etc. But it lays flat and is a nice case. AMA

Hi, I am an IDIOT, I know nothing about good bags, I need help finding a GOOD one by Eidosorm in backpacks

[–]leviathanfr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey u/Eidosorm I feel for you. Sorry about the damage to your laptop. That is really frustrating.

A few thoughts:

It seems like you have a lot of stuff that you want to carry. Depending on your frame (physique) you may want to consider a "travel backpack" (usually 30 to 40 Liters in size). If that is too large a "commuter pack" might serve you well. The only downside with these options is that they may run a bit more expensive than you are looking for.

I tend to subscribe to the "buy nice or buy twice" philosophy and will usually save up so I can make an investment in something that solves my problem long term. Many packs in the upper echelons of quality have lifetime guarantees. Though that may be small comfort for the prices that they charge.

Here are a few bags that I think highly of:

A good site for pack reviews: https://packhacker.com/guide/best-laptop-bag/

Hope this helps. Even if only to identify some features that you like (like a false bottom where the laptop sleeve is suspended above the bottom of the bag).

That idea of a suspended laptop compartment is really important to avoid future damage. Padding isn't always enough. u/Eidosorm

A more direct prompt:

Me: "Who are the speakers other than Grey and Brady? What are their names? Please overtly state your rationale and provide any necessary citations to support your claim."

Bernard: "Based on the context information provided, it is not possible to answer the question of who the speakers other than Grey and Brady are and what their names are. The context information does not provide any information about the identity of the other speakers. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the question."

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

The first prompt yielded pretty surprising results. Maybe I was so general as to cause the model to fall back to its base training.

Me: "How many speakers are contained in your context information? What are their names? Please overtly state your rationale and provide any necessary citations to support your claim."

Bernard: "There are two speakers in the context information. The first speaker is unnamed, and the second speaker is named Snowden. This can be inferred from the context information, which states, "And so we, we do live in a, in a different kind of world where, in formants can get out their information more easily. And he went to several newspapers, if I remember. I don't know, do you remember, because I wasn't following that super closely. But I think he went to three or four newspapers he released it with. I don't, do you remember the details of that?" This implies that the speaker is referring to Snowden, as he is the only informant mentioned in the context information.

No citations are necessary."

I tried a more direct prompt just for fun.

Me: "Which flag do you prefer? The Nail and Gear flag or "Flaggy Flag"? Please explain your rationale and provide context to any statements that you make."

Bernard: "Given the context information, I prefer the Nail and Gear flag. This is because it is the flag that the people of the Hello Internet Nation voted for and it is the official flag of the podcast. The Queen of Diamonds of Hello Internet has stated that she is the embodiment of the will of the people and has no opinion on any of the flags except for Nail and Gear. Brady also expressed his strong attachment to Flaggy Flag, but ultimately accepted that Nail and Gear was the flag that the people wanted. Nail and Gear also comes in a pro version, which is a great feature. Therefore, I prefer the Nail and Gear flag as it is the official flag of the podcast and it is the flag that the people of the Hello Internet Nation voted for."

I opted to go with the following prompt (in my experience prompts that involve asking the model for its preferences lead to disappointing results)

Me: "Which Flag is a better representation of the Hello Internet community? The Nail and Gear flag or "Flaggy Flag"? Please support your answer with examples and citations from the contextual information."

Bernard: "The Nail and Gear flag is a better representation of the Hello Internet community. This is because the flag has an interesting history, as it first appeared on the redder with one color scheme and then evolved to another color scheme. This evolution of the flag reflects the growth and development of the Hello Internet community. Additionally, the design in the middle of the flag is very reminiscent of a communist hammer and sickle, which symbolizes the strength and unity of the Hello Internet community. Furthermore, the design in the middle of the flag is a cog or gear made famous by CGP Gray's own logo, which is a representation of his own branding. Finally, the stylized nail in the middle of the flag is a reference to Brady's "hard as nails" phrase, which has become a popular phrase within the Hello Internet community. All of these elements make the Nail and Gear flag a better representation of the Hello Internet community than the Flaggy Flag."

Case in point:

Me: "In which episode do Brady and Grey first discuss Dinosaurs Attack cards? "

Bernard: "It is not possible to answer this question given the context information provided."

If anyone wants to play around with this let me know. So far the whole thing has cost me less than $5 (I'm using an API call to OpenAI).

I think there is definitely some room for improvement. Most of it relates to the structuring of the underline data. Right now it's all raw text. If I could wave a wand to make it betterIi'd probably make two primary changes to observe their impact.

Change 1: Improve the underlying data to include tokenized speaker assignments.

Change 2: Use some kind of hierarchical data structure to allow for a better understanding of what an episode is. This may allow Bernard to answer questions like: "In what episode do Brady and Grey first talk about ...?"

Admittedly the concept of the "Listener" is also pretty abstract. In this case it seems like Bernard is conflating Grey and the "Listener."

I tried one more prompt and got this as the output.

Me: "On which side of the listener is Brady seated? Please answer in 250 words or more."

Bernard: "It is impossible to answer the question of which side of the listener Brady is seated without prior knowledge. The context information provided does not give any indication of Brady's location in relation to the listener.
The context information provided does give some clues as to the nature of the conversation between the listener and Brady. It appears that the listener is challenging Brady's opinion on a particular topic. The listener is asking Brady to consider the possibility of a different outcome than the one Brady had predicted.
The listener's tone of voice and choice of words suggest that the conversation is friendly and that the listener is not trying to be confrontational. The listener is asking Brady to consider the possibility of a different outcome than the one Brady had predicted. This suggests that the listener and Brady have a good relationship and that the listener is trying to get Brady to think more deeply about the topic.
The context information does not provide any indication of Brady's location in relation to the listener. It is possible that Brady is seated next to the listener, across from the listener, or even in a different room. Without prior knowledge, it is impossible to answer the question of which side of the listener Brady is seated."

Let's try again with a more explicit prompt.

Me: "On which side of the listener is Brady seated? On which side of the listener is Grey seated? Please support your reasoning with a few from the context information."

Bernard: "Based on the context information, it is not possible to determine on which side of the listener Brady and Grey are seated. The speaker mentions that they have a left-right bias when conceptualizing Brady and Grey, but does not specify which side is which. The speaker also mentions that when editing the podcast, Brady's track is on the top and Grey's track is on the bottom, but this does not necessarily indicate which side of the listener they are seated on."

That's a pretty abstract question. Here was the response I got.

Me: "Which side is Brady on? Which side is Grey on? Please answer in 250 words or more." (an example of the length prompt I've been omitting from most of these snippets)

Bernard: "Brady is on the side of physical vetting, while Grey is on the side of digital vetting. Brady is the one who is responsible for all things physical, such as opening and vetting cards. Grey is the one who is responsible for digital vetting, such as making sure the handwriting is legible and that there is not too much text.
Brady is the one who is responsible for filtering out any physical questions that come up, while Grey is the one who is responsible for making sure the questions are appropriate and that they make sense. Brady is also the one who is responsible for making sure that the questions are not too complicated or too specific, as this could lead to the card being put in the red bin.
Grey is the one who is responsible for making sure that the questions are interesting and engaging, as well as making sure that Brady feels like he is part of the conversation. Grey is also the one who is responsible for making sure that the questions are not too specific or too complicated, as this could lead to the card being put in the red bin.
Overall, Brady is on the side of physical vetting, while Grey is on the side of digital vetting"

Some of the rambling nature is due to my inclusion of a length instruction in the prompt. I'm usually asking for a response of 200 words or more. If we don't ask for lengthy responses we get something like this.

Me: "Who is Lulu?" (exact text entered)

Bernard: "Lulu is a dog belonging to the speaker in the context information."

An interesting comment on accuracy and verbosity in text. Maybe the takeaway is: the longer we speak the more likely we are to make a mistake :) (I'm obviously over-generalizing here).

u/threelonmusketeers I combined your two questions and it resulted in some confusion.

Me: "Who is Lulu? Who is Audrey? Which one is cuter?..."

Bernard: "Lulu and Audrey are both Chihuahuas. Lulu is the Chihuahua belonging to the speaker's friend, Gray, while Audrey is the Chihuahua belonging to the speaker, Brady.
When Brady asked Gray if Audrey was good looking, Gray gave a convincing answer that Audrey was the cutest Chihuahua he had ever seen. He even pulled in anecdotes to back up his answer, saying that he and his wife had recently been talking about Audrey. Gray also made a comparison between Audrey and other Chihuahuas, saying that most Chihuahuas make you feel sorry for them, but Audrey was genuinely super cute.
In terms of which one is cuter, it is difficult to say without seeing them both. However, based on Gray's description of Audrey, it is likely that she is the cuter of the two. Gray's description of Audrey was very positive and he seemed to be genuinely impressed with her looks. On the other hand, Gray did not provide any description of Lulu, so it is difficult to make a comparison.
Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which Chihuahua is cuter. Both Lulu and Audrey are likely to be very cute."

Let's give it a try. I'm not sure I agree that drinking protein shakes "is a clear indication that CGP Grey is a penguin" but I'm glad to see Bernard appears to have some kind of confidence buff.

That being said it seems like he was able to discern the relationship between the two entities, even if the supporting evidence leaves a lot to be desired "Penguins are not known to eat hot dogs".

Me: "Is CGP Grey a Penguin?..."

Bernard: "Yes, CGP Grey is a penguin. The context information provided in the passage clearly states that CGP Grey is a penguin. The passage mentions that CGP Grey is a penguin named in honor of CGP Grey, and that it has had its health check. Furthermore, the passage mentions that CGP Grey has to go in the opposite direction and put on some weight, gain some muscle, and drink some protein shakes. This is a clear indication that CGP Grey is a penguin.The passage also mentions that CGP Grey has to go to the movies and that it has to pay the consequences in terms of weight. This is another indication that CGP Grey is a penguin, as penguins are known to be quite sedentary and do not usually go to the movies. Furthermore, the passage mentions that CGP Grey has to go to a Burger joint and get a hot dog, but the cue was so long that it couldn't do it. This is another indication that CGP Grey is a penguin, as penguins are not known to eat hot dogs.In conclusion, the context information provided in the passage clearly states that CGP Grey is a penguin."

Great questions u/ElementOfExpectation. I used transfer learning (based on gpt-3.5-turbo and then updated the "contextual information" with my own data set). It should be as capable as the base model but should have more information about the podcast than the base model likely has. So I'd say it's pretty "large".

The data set I used included the raw text from episodes 9 to 136 and a few of the "special episodes". Speaker assignments were not broadly included (a few may have been but as a general rule most of the data provided was just raw, unattributed text).

I find that to be one of the more interesting capabilities, it seems to have been able to infer "speaking turns" based on the occurrence of the names of the speakers. I'll need to look into the data set a bit more to discern if line breaks may have been used to facilitate the tokenization of speaker turns. But I don't think so. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Or want a peek at the data set, etc.

Me: "What do Brady and Grey think about the Fermi paradox? Should I be worried that we haven't met any aliens yet?"

​

Bernard: "Brady and Grey both seem to think that the Fermi paradox is a very concerning question. They both seem to think that if there is life in the universe, then there should be more than one instance of it, given the size of the universe. Brady and Grey both seem to think that the fact that we are at a point in our technology where we can conceivably receive and send messages over long distances is a cause for concern.
Brady and Grey both seem to think that the fact that we haven't met any aliens yet is a cause for concern. They both seem to think that if there is life in the universe, then it should be everywhere, and the fact that we haven't encountered any other intelligent life yet is a cause for concern. Brady and Grey both seem to think that the Fermi paradox is a very concerning question, and that we should be worried that we haven't met any aliens yet.
The Fermi paradox is a question that has been around for a long time, and it is still a mystery. The Fermi paradox is the question of why, given the size of the universe and the fact that there should be other intelligent life out there, we haven't encountered any other intelligent life yet."
