it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!
I’m just relieved to see マッドハウス (madhouse) on there. I was mildly worried they’d give it the OPM treatment.

Don’t wanna be pedantic (yes I do) but after a little bit of searching, the originally presented quote seems correct (without the “and” though, it seems). Your version is mixed with a common misquote “Slowly at first, then all at once.” of that quote.
Tangentially reminds me of Richard Feynman’s Cataclysm Sentence.
If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?
Sure. You have to solve it from inside out:
The huge coincidental part is that ඞ lies at a position that can be reached by a cumulative sum of integers between 0 and a given integer. From there on it’s only a question of finding a way to feed that integer into chr(sum(range(x)))
From experience with the beta and memory, your wife (and you) will be able to choose which version to play. Either yours with a ton of DLC or hers with none. You should both be able to use the version with all DLC, but not at the same time.
It’s been a while since we tested this though so things might have changed, including my memory…
Those are typcially the ones without any prefix
With the notable exception of the kg…for some inexplicable reason.
If you wanna see a language model (almost) exclusively trained on 4chan, here you go.
Presumably. Wouldn’t take much to fake that though.
after leaving can’t join another for a year
Can you fix this? There was enough misinformation floating around about this already when this feature went into beta.
Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.
it should say something like: “After joining, can’t join another for a year”
Despite all that, there was the Warlock who Ninja’d the Sword dropping in Naxx on the final day. Fun times. Now that we’re slowly approaching Classic MoP we’ll finally see if the masterplan worked out too.
When were talking about teaching kids the alphabet we need to train both individual and applied letters
This is only slightly related but I once met a young (USAmerican) adult who thought the stripy horse animal’s name was pronounced zed-bra in British English and it was really hard to convince her otherwise. In her mind zebra was strongly connected to Z-bra, so of course if someone was to pronounce the letter “zed” it would turn into “zed-bra” and not just into “zeh-bra”.
That data is also publicly available (of course), so a model could be trained on it. I’d love to say I’d doubt Google/YouTube would ever do that, but at this point nothing would surprise me.
Usually, if there’s a scam, someone’s making money off it. This is them. They want to keep making money.
I trained the generative models all from scratch. Pretrained models are not that helpful when it’s important to accurately capture very domain specific features.
One of the classifiers I tried was based on zoobot with a custom head. Assuming the publications around zoobot are truthful, it was trained exclusively on similar data from a multitude of different sky surveys.
Does it? I worked on training a classifier and a generative model on freely available galaxy images taken by Hubble and labelled in a citizen science approach. Where’s the theft?

Reading this comment gave me the idea to get Gemini’s “opinion”. Ironically, it turns out Google might’ve actually done better if they did that.
Prompt:
I design ads for Google as a living and was charged with writing an ad for you (Gemini) to be aired during ad breaks at the Olympics .
My current idea is as follows:
A father wants to help his daughter write a letter to her idol, Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. In a voiceover, the dad says his daughter “might even be the world’s No. 1 Sydney fan.” In the add he will ask you, Gemini, to “help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is and be sure to mention that my daughter plans on breaking her world record one day. (She says sorry, not sorry.)”
What do you think of this idea?
Gemini output (emphasis mine):
Evaluation of the Ad Idea
The concept of using Gemini to help a young fan write a letter to her idol is heartwarming and relatable. It aligns well with the aspirational and inspiring tone of the Olympics.
However, there are a few points to consider:
Potential Issues
Overemphasis on competition: The line “She says sorry, not sorry” might come across as overly competitive, which could potentially alienate viewers.
Dependence on AI: While showcasing Gemini’s capabilities, it’s important to maintain a balance. Over-reliance on AI to write the letter might diminish the authenticity and emotional impact of the story.
Target audience: Consider the target audience for the Olympics. While the story is heartwarming, it might resonate more with a family audience than with core sports fans.
Suggestions
Focus on inspiration: Instead of emphasizing competition, focus on the inspiring qualities of Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and how she motivates the young girl.
Highlight human connection: Emphasize the bond between the father and daughter and how they are using Gemini as a tool to connect with their idol.
Visual storytelling: Use strong visuals to capture the emotion and excitement of the story. Show the girl’s admiration for Sydney, the father’s support, and the magic of Gemini helping them craft the perfect letter.
Overall, the idea has potential, but refining the focus and execution can elevate the ad’s impact.
Would you like to explore some alternative approaches or focus on developing the concept further?
It’s a bit of a weird article indeed. I also fully disagree with the author’s notion that reading a VN is faster than watching the anime equivalent. And I say this as someone who enjoys reading VNs every now and then. If I wanted to optimize the story/spent minute ratio I would just watch an anime or even better, read a manga.
Overall I hope the article can push a few people who were on the fence to the try reading a VN to finally do so. I doubt it’ll affect anyone who was not very interested already. Likewise it also won’t do much for people who already took the plunge.
Also I think DDLC isn’t a good starter VN at all. All the meta stuff will be lost on the reader and the time before the twist is a real slog that might easily turn people off VNs forever. I would argue the only reason it worked is because streamers had their chats pressure them into continuing and “normal people” had friends who told them the same.
With Larian’s previous game having great DM tools and them saying they would’ve loved to do DM tools for BG3, I think WotC telling them not to is a fair assumption to make.
I’m guessing they just take the correct prefix (the first 3 letters of the correct month) and append “tember”, no matter the month.
