Kale Good morning folks
It's a public holiday here, so I've done a smidge of gardening and now: time to clean some code a little
As expected, doing weeding has meant my back hurts.
Eep.
Putting together my own LLM dataset(s) has been verrrry educational in a lot of directions.
First, the importance of not letting anything time sensitive in (X tv show is on now, Y thing just happened, even things like 'you can buy Z for $4') - this is waaaay more pervasive than you might expect.
(no, I'm not importing any conversational, etc from people, it's either hand written or gen'ed)
There's a few BIG erotica datasets, but... From what I can tell, they're formatted badly, the content mix swings harrrrd, and it's a nightmare to work with, so - probably no on those.
Also: 700+ mb of raw text, all in one file?
Fuuuuuuuuuck thaaaaaaaaat
Shimmin Beg (he/him)@DarkestKale backs are the worst. Such drama queens.
"You slept, I hurt now."
"You lifted wrong, I hurt now."
"You bent over, I hurt now."
"You turned around, I hurt now."
HOW DO YOU TURN AROUND WRONG SPINE-O, WTF DO YOU WANT FROM ME
Roger BW 😷@shimminbeg @DarkestKale (Looks at Shim and Kale from the venerable age of 56) Oh, you sweet summer children.
@RogerBW @shimminbeg Heh.
We have a guy at work - started with us maybe six years back. He's a skateboarder.
Kept saying how it was fine he broke bones, hurt himself, etc as it wasn't too big of a deal
Kale (at the time): oh, boy, you are gonna learrrrrrrrn
The other day, he came to me and said 'yeah, you were right, I have all these random aches now'
@DarkestKale @shimminbeg This is why I don't jog. "My knees only have so much service life, and I used to row. They're fine for now…"
@RogerBW @shimminbeg I still remember working with a guy - in his fifties - who'd had two knee recons.
... and he wanted to keep running/swimming at lifeguard levels, and he kept ranting about 'doctors won't tell you about...', and... my dude, a knee recon's about getting you walking again, not making you able to be an athlete.
CharnockSpeaking from the same 50s locale, my back is fine, my knee is blown.
However I do have a walking cane with a skull head, so there are benefits
@Printdevil @RogerBW @shimminbeg Kinda feel like you can spend XP for the cane without taking the knee offset...
I haven't earned XP in years, all my points are now from DNPCs and debilitating injuries.
@Printdevil @RogerBW @shimminbeg Ok, so, you need this one trick:
1) First, gather several alchemical mirrors
