To be overly simple about it, the LLM uses statistics and a bit of controlled RNG to pick its words. Words in the LLM have links to each other with statistical probabilities attached. If you take the sentence “I fed a peanut to an elephant” and “I fed a peanut to a elephant” and then asked 100 people which is more correct, there will be a percentage which favors one over the other. Now with LLMs its not choosing using weighted coin flips, but rather picking the most likely next word (most of the time). So if the 100 people choose “an elephant” over “a elephant” 65% of the time in its training data, then the LLM will be inclined to use “an elephant.” However, Its important to know that the words around “an elephant” will also bias its choice to use the word ‘an’ for the word ‘elephant’.
Really, its largely based on the training data and the contexts to which ‘a’ and ‘an’ are used. Or in other words, the LLM knows because people figured it out for the LLM. People did all the thinking, LLM’s just use statistics on our bottled phrases to know when to use which. Of course, because it got its data from people - it will sometimes get it wrong which is based on how often people got it wrong.
1 year in I’m at 7k kills. I’m loaded with loot and boredom set in. I load up my scout vehicle and head down the road. I decided to go to the country club for furnishings. I light a campfire to warm up as the heater is bust. I clear flamables nearby and toss them into the fire so its there when I go back. I go in stealth, I’m slaying countless zombies. I didn’t expect so many zombies. I take a wrong turn. I try to hop the fence but my pack is too heavy. The attempt puts me at the first moodle. Shit. I turn back and run to the forest. There’s so much more here than I expected. No rest means that I start dropping a trail of items. I head to my car. Second exhaustion moodle and tiredness moodle. I see fire. Fire everywhere. Wtf? Burning zombies shuffle towards me. I try the fence after dropping everything. I go back to my camp and there’s black squares running off from my campfire. I’m barely shuffling and meekly shoving zombies when I get to my car. I can’t get in with them on me. I just barely juke them to the other side. I’m heading to the door and a zombie crawls out from under the car and lacerates my foot. I get in and speed off.
After tending my wounds and resting at my base I get the queasy moodle.
I’m an American, so pardon me butting in here in this community. I feel like this counter attack was the plan all along. At first it seemed they ignored intelligence from multiple countries seemingly out of incompetence, but I believe they used it as a way to justify the counter attack. This has been something they’ve wanted to do for a long time. This was planned in advance and they waited for an opportunity.
I’m a FNAF fan, and as a movie its quality is that of a straight to DVD movie. It has major flaws that I could go into incredible length about, but the more I think about it, the more I like it as is. The lore of the games is campy, and all over the place, as well as cliché in many places. The series never took itself too seriously while managing to make goofy characters feel mildly threatening. The FNAF movie captures this campy B movie plot excellently.
Really, the major draw for me was that I had invested my emotions into a community that formed as a result of the creator embracing his fans and doing his best to give them what they wanted, even if he wasn’t the best at it. The community never really cared that the lore was imperfect, they cared because they felt like they could invest themselves in the story because there was another game of uncovering the hidden story after they finished playing each game. It brought people together because everyone had their own takes on the story. It was super exciting to have each game show up because then you’d have more people with their own takes on the story and big personalities making videos having fun with a goofy game series.
Seeing the movie felt like a huge love letter to the whole experience. I wanted to see these goofy and campy machines on the big screen because they already occupied a space in my imagination. As a fan, I went in with the perfect level of expectation, I expected a campy B movie that would be fun to watch and not take too seriously, and its exactly what I got. In fact, there was a level of fan service in the film which made me absolutely delighted to watch it.
Asthma. People expect you to have dramatic TV style throat closing episodes where you turn blue grabing your throat as you gasp and gag. For me, an episode is just sudden onset hypoxia. I’ll feel my lungs get tight, but because I’m still getting some air it can be hard to tell I’m suffocating, especially if I’m distracted. When it happens, I have about 3 - 5 minutes to catch it. If I fail to catch it, I’ll quickly lose balance, struggle to speak, I’ll be unable to think, and finally my vision darkens to a dot, and then I black out. I can appear fine, and then out faster than anyone expects.
Once I get a puff, I’m fine in 10 seconds (minus some shaking from the medication.)
Its a short article, but here’s a summary: Snow crabs caloric needs are tied to temperature. If its too warm, it increases the amount of calories they need to survive. The most recent heat wave doubled this food demand.
Imagine if everyone in China needed double the food due to a sudden weather change.
