Saera Targaryen may be related to Hugh Hammer on ‘House of the Dragon’ — here’s what to know about the estranged princess

Saera Targaryen may be related to Hugh Hammer on ‘House of the Dragon’ — here’s what to know about the estranged princess

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for season two, episode seven of "House of the Dragon," and "Fire and Blood."Season two, episode seven of "House of the Dragon" finally delivered on two side characters that it's been giving time to all season: blacksmith Hugh Hammer and town drunk Ulf, both of whom managed to successfully claim a dragon.While Ulf has claimed that his father was Baelon the Brave — making Daemon and Viserys Targaryen his half-brothers — Hugh's parentage has been a bit less clear. In the latest episode, however, he gave a few telling clues: his mother worked in a pleasure house, where…

Google dismisses Elon Musk’s claim that autocomplete engaged in election interference

Google dismisses Elon Musk’s claim that autocomplete engaged in election interference

Google has responded to allegations that it “censored” searches about Donald Trump after Elon Musk baselessly claimed the company had imposed a “search ban” on the former president. The issues, Google explained, were due to bugs in its autocomplete feature. But Musk’s tweet, which was viewed more than 118 million times, nonetheless forced the search giant to publicly explain one of its most basic features.“Over the past few days, some people on X have posted claims that Search is ‘censoring’ or ‘banning’ particular terms,” Google wrote in a series of posts on X. “That’s not happening.”Though Google didn’t name Musk…

Efficiently improving key weather variables forecasting by performing the guided iterative prediction in latent space

Efficiently improving key weather variables forecasting by performing the guided iterative prediction in latent space

arXiv:2407.19187v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weather forecasting refers to learning evolutionary patterns of some key upper-air and surface variables which is of great significance. Recently, deep learning-based methods have been increasingly applied in the field of weather forecasting due to their powerful feature learning capabilities. However, prediction methods based on the original space iteration struggle to effectively and efficiently utilize large number of weather variables. Therefore, we propose an 'encoding-prediction-decoding' prediction network. This network can efficiently benefit to more related input variables with key variables, that is, it can adaptively extract key variable-related low-dimensional latent feature from much more input…

Just Wrapped Up: Cafe Menu Project!

Just Wrapped Up: Cafe Menu Project!

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ve just completed the “Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu” project. It was a fantastic opportunity to sharpen my CSS skills and create a neat, functional layout. What’s Next?I’m diving into the “Learn CSS Colors by Building a Set of Colored Markers” project next. Can’t wait to play around with colors and take my styling techniques to the next level! "The best way to learn is by doing." – Richard Branson Thanks for joining me on this journey! If you have any tips or projects of your own, I’d love to…

My helicopter parents forged job applications for me as a teen. I almost made the same mistake with my own child.

My helicopter parents forged job applications for me as a teen. I almost made the same mistake with my own child.

When I was 15, my mom announced at the breakfast table that I had a job interview that morning.She said there was no getting out of it because it was all arranged. Dad would drive me to the new bakery that her friend's son was about to open in our hometown in northern England.Two hours later, I sat opposite the manager as she read aloud parts of the application my mom had forged without my knowledge."You wrote that math is one of your best subjects," the woman said, noting that the position was for a part-time counter person at the…

ObjectCarver: Semi-automatic segmentation, reconstruction and separation of 3D objects

ObjectCarver: Semi-automatic segmentation, reconstruction and separation of 3D objects

arXiv:2407.19108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Implicit neural fields have made remarkable progress in reconstructing 3D surfaces from multiple images; however, they encounter challenges when it comes to separating individual objects within a scene. Previous work has attempted to tackle this problem by introducing a framework to train separate signed distance fields (SDFs) simultaneously for each of N objects and using a regularization term to prevent objects from overlapping. However, all of these methods require segmentation masks to be provided, which are not always readily available. We introduce our method, ObjectCarver, to tackle the problem of object separation from just click…

Impact of Decoding Methods on Human Alignment of Conversational LLMs

Impact of Decoding Methods on Human Alignment of Conversational LLMs

[Submitted on 28 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Impact of Decoding Methods on Human Alignment of Conversational LLMs, by Shaz Furniturewala and 2 other authors View PDF Abstract:To be included into chatbot systems, Large language models (LLMs) must be aligned with human conversational conventions. However, being trained mainly on web-scraped data gives existing LLMs a voice closer to informational text than actual human speech. In this paper, we examine the effect of decoding methods on the alignment between LLM-generated and human conversations, including Beam Search, Top K Sampling, and Nucleus Sampling. We present new measures of…
