![]() That's what your boss tells the public and the Congress, anyway. You hope that as the Shoggoth learns more from the everyday activity of all these eager users, it will become more civilized, polite and useful. Using the mask is technically called "Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback"-but if you're programming one of those Mardi Gras masks, what you see are vast party crowds gathering around your Shoggoth. How? Get people to use the Shoggoth's Mask. People have caught on that this seems to be the right business model-financial success in AI will come from making the Shoggoth seem harmless, honest, helpful and fun to use. Hide that monster, and make it look cuter! So the money is in making a cute mask for the Shoggoth-meaning the public interface, the web page, the prompt. Neural nets in their raw state are too tangled, unstable, expensive and complicated to unravel. It's the biggest, most necessary part of any AI, and it has all the power, but its theorists, mathematicians and programmers can't understand it. In the AI world, nobody much wants to mess with the unmasked Shoggoth. This Masked Shoggoth myth-or cartoon meme-is a shrewd political comment. So far I've got two dozen, while the Masked Shoggoth recently guest-starred in The New York Times. These AI technicians trade folksy, meme-style cartoons among themselves, where ghastly Shoggoths, sporting funny masks, get wry, catchy captions as they wreak havoc. They deliberately place a little smiley-face Mask on the horrid Shoggoth, so that the public will not realize that they're trifling with a formless ooze that's eldritch, vast and uncontrollable. So, the human programmers of today's new AIs-those text-to-image generators, those Large Language Model GPT chatbots-they adore this alien monster. It's a creepy beast-of-burden from outer space, and it's forced to labor, but it's filled with a silent, burning, unnatural resentment for its subjugation. The Shoggoth is a huge, boneless slave beast that sprouts eyes and tentacles at random. Next among the cavalcade of AI folk monsters: the "Masked Shoggoth." The Shoggoth is an alien monster invented by the cosmic horror writer H.P. Roko's mythic Basilisk has never yet killed anybody, but Elon and Grimes had two children together, and they both still love to make loud public declarations about how dangerous AI will be some day. ![]() It's even romantic-because Elon Musk, the AI-friendly tech mogul, and the electronica pop star Grimes first bonded while discussing Roko's Basilisk. Obviously this weird yarn of predestined doom is starkly nuts, and yet, it captures the imagination.

Furthermore, the memory bus width has been reduced from 192bit to 128bit, allowing it to bridge the performance gap between the GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3050. The graphics memory capacity of the "GeForce RTX 3060" variant model, on the other hand, has been reduced from 12GB to 8GB. The video memory in the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti variant model has been upgraded from GDDR6 to faster GDDR6X. The F1 22 game will receive an update on October 31 that will include DLSS 3 support. The racer from Codemasters and Electronic Arts already has graphical flourishes like ray-traced opaque reflections, transparent reflections, ambient occlusion, and shadows, so the addition of DLSS 3 is welcome, but the introduction of DLSS 3 is said to enable 4K at over 120 FPS on smoke-free RTX 40 GPUs. If you enjoy playing F1 22 and own a GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card, you will be pleased to know that this new driver adds DLSS 3 support to the game. The addition of official support for the recently released GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Plus GDDR6X and RTX 3060 8GB GPUs is likely the highlight here. The release notes are here (PDF).Yesterday Nvidia released a new Game Ready Driver for Windows 10 and Windows 11 users that includes optimizations for several new games as well as DLSS 3.0 support for the popular F1 22. ![]() The Nvidia GeForce 526.47 WHQL Game Ready driver is now available for download through the GeForce Experience app, while standalone links can be found below.
![]() ![]() The dinette is in the back, so when you back up and face the water you’ve got the big window to look at the lake. We also felt more comfortable with a non-slide camper like the American Hero. ![]() Some of those places do not have room to put out a slide. Karen and I get into tight spaces while truck camping. Some of the people I’ve talked to who have owned slide-out truck campers have had problems, like the slide-out motors seizing up and having to crank the slide-out in by hand. A flatbed truck camper gives us the additional room and floor space without slides. What made you change to the Northstar American Hero flatbed camper?ĭick: We needed more room, but we’re not crazy about slide-out model truck campers. TCM: The Northstar Freedom is a nice camper. Plus being able to drop the camper and drive the truck away was attractive.Ībove: The dinette of the flatbed camper is in the rear so the Parsons back up and face the water when camping We love camping and the truck camper seemed to fit our need to get into four wheel drive places in the wilderness. It would have been much better to choose our truck camper first, and then get the truck we needed for that camper. We had already purchased a truck and then decided to get a truck camper. After researching truck camper dealers in our area, we purchased a Northstar Freedom.ĭick: The Northstar Freedom was the smallest hard side truck camper Northstar made at that time. In the summer of 2010, we decided to go a different route and purchase a truck camper. ![]() As we got older, tenting and canoe camping become more and more difficult. We have always been tenters and canoe campers. Karen: We are fairly new to the world of truck camping. What does it take to actually put together a flatbed truck and camper? Are there some strategies involved when ordering the truck? What’s it like to load? Thankfully, Richard and Karen agreed to an interview so we could share their story. Like many folks at that rally, we were full of questions. When we met Richard and Karen Parsons at the North-East Truck Camping Jamboree in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, we were very exited to see their Northstar American Hero flatbed truck camper rig. In theory, all you lose are the truck rails. It’s like building above the rails, if the rails were the same height as the wheel wells. The truck deck is essentially the full width of the truck, at wheel well height. With a flatbed truck, there are no side rails. The simple answer is to build a flatbed truck and truck camper. What if there was another way to get the wider floor space without the high center of gravity, additional weight, and higher cost of building above the rails? A Ford F550 would be an even better idea. Don’t even think of anything less than a late model one-ton Ford or Chevy dually. Furthermore, the higher center of gravity and additional material necessary to build these campers mean you’ll need a serious truck. Unfortunately, building above the side rails also means raising the center of gravity and adding material (increasing cost and weight) to these designs. With no wheel wells or side rails in the way, everything is wide open. This means the floor of the truck camper is literally above the side rails of the truck giving these models significantly wider floor plans and enormous basements. Richard and Karen Parsons share their story of assembling a Northstar American Hero flatbed truck camper with a Chevy Silverado 3500HD crew cab flatbed truck.įor the past five years or so, a few truck camper manufacturers have been building their multi-slide basement models above the side rails. ![]() ![]() Even by the end, I couldn't help but like the characters that were more antagonistic towards Hinako and crew, because I felt like they had been done justice in how they were written. ![]() I found each of the characters to be likeable in their own unique ways, though I will admit to having a soft spot for cheering on characters that want to thrive and make friends but are too nervous to throw themselves into the social fray, like Chihiro. Which this just so happens to have had roughly around when the sequel came out (though not an adaptation of this particular narrative, nor its sequel). I've been on a pretty big anime binge over the past few years and it kinda satisfied that little itch I didn't know I had for what basically boils down to a playable anime. It very much played out exactly how you would expect an anime set in a similar environment, and I think that might have been one of the key elements that made me gravitate to it so much. ![]() ![]() Honestly, I've had this game since it released (on PS3) and only just now completed the whole game to 100% completion just under six years after the game released, and I have to admit that I really did enjoy it through all the flaws I found in it. Recommending Blue Reflection in today's video gaming market is probably going to be an extremely difficult sell (especially when its standard price tag on Steam is £50), but I feel that despite its flaws (of which there are numerous), it ultimately does what it sets out to do, and that is to tell a wonderful and emotional story with a magical girl theme. ![]() ![]() Updated March 5th, 2021: The Foot Locker calendar confirms a release date for March 13th, 2021.

Taking cues from the infamous Shadow colorway, dark grey is wrapped around the heel and ankle of the latest disciple of the Air Jordan I line. What exactly is the inspiration behind these? Today I’m taking a look at the latest Jordyn one and this one is pretty different. Dubbed the Air Jordan I High Patina, Jordan Brand introduces a distinct metallic twist for the AJI. The heel, however, bridges back to sport with a “Shadow” like build on the heel and ankle, while the sudden hit of mint green on the embroidered patch and insole throws us in for a loop.

![]() ![]() ![]() If it makes you uncomfortable, it doesn’t matter how common it is. Whether or not it’s the norm within the industry is beside the point here, though. There is certainly a place for sexual nudity in art (and that is still respected art), but in those cases where sexual nudity is the goal then the artist will usually ensure the model fully understands and agrees to the arrangement beforehand. Which brings me to another reason it’s not typical for artists to touch the models, let alone to achieve and maintain erections: most of the art community favors non-sexual nudity in art. As a matter of fact, he tried to downplay any sensuality I was emitting, choosing to highlight a different mood in his sketch of me. When I posed for a sculptor years ago, he also never touched me. Any costume changes or pose changes are done by the model only (or also by stylists/etc on a big-budget fashion shoot). I recall he even mentioned that in the industry, it’s a big no-no for photographers to touch the models. He never touched me, instead giving light direction. When I first posed for my husband (who wasn’t my husband or even a love interest at the time) he was perfectly professional. Liz says: While I’ve never posed privately for any female artists, I am almost 100% certain your experiences are not the norm. ![]() They tell me it’s completely normal and every male model does this for female artists, but it can become sexual when trying to maintain an erection while posing still for 30+ minutes and they come over to get it stiff again! I’m wondering if you know how normal this is, or if you can tell whether this is a sexual rather than purely artistic thing for the female artists? I don’t know any other male models well enough to ask, and the artists are saying it’s normal but I’m not convinced – as they mostly know each other I wonder if they are quietly saying to each other to all tell me it’s normal! Or maybe that’s me being a naive conspiracy theorist?” In the one to one sessions I’m finding a recurring pattern of the female artists politely asking for an ‘erection pose’ as they would otherwise never get to draw them, as they’re not expected in group classes. Quite often at the end of a class a female artist has asked for private one on one sessions, so they can be more in control of the poses I do and the angle they get, compared to jostling for the best view in a busy class. Michael Vartan is forced to pose in some awkward photos in One Hour Photo.Adam wrote: “I’ve been nude modeling for art classes, which I’m comfortable with as there’s no photos, just drawing and painting.

For example, atoms with complete valence shells, the noble gases, are the least chemically reactive. In general, the electrons in valence shells determine how the atom behaves in chemical reactions. The valence shell is the outermost electron shell of an atom. In other words, the farther the shell is from the nucleus, the larger it is, and the higher its average energy. 2.21 C).Īs the electron shells go from 1 to 7, they increase in size and average energy.

For Kapranos, that is just the kind of inspiration he needs to experiment with his own closet, both on and off the stage. Slimane showed sharp suiting for him and her, juxtaposed against tons of retro, 1970s-style detailing (think checkered coats and ruffled blouses). We both also share a joy in the discovery of an idiosyncratic piece of vintage clothing, from college jackets to a leather or a duffle coat,” he says.Īt the Celine show there was plenty of nostalgia to go around. “I always thought his clothes looked like how we were trying to make our records sound. (His favorite piece in his own wardrobe is “a sleek black silk shirt with a collar I’ve never seen on anything else before.”) But he insists he has always felt an emotional connection to the designer’s work, even during Slimane’s Saint Laurent days. Today the singer is drawn to the “radical classicism” that Slimane brings to Celine. His introversion was a contrast to what so many of us expected from the world of fashion.” “We were recording The Black Sessions in Paris and he was a shy figure taking photographs on 35mm in the background as we set up. “I’ve always loved his pure approach and thirst for music,” says Kapranos, who remembers first meeting Slimane back in 2004. Creative director Hedi Slimane is famous for his rocker sensibility, often inviting to his shows a host of music stars who reflect his singular aesthetic. (You’ll often find the singer and guitarist performing in cool, slick suits.) Small wonder then that the Scottish musician would find himself front row at Celine’s fall 2020 show in Paris last night.
