3/4 centrifugal clutch near me

Brief background: I'm an over-the-hill class gamer who grew up with FF's 1, "2", and "3" (those are 4 and 6 now, and yes, I know you already knew). FFX and X2 represented a glaring hole in my experience that I sought to correct over the past couple of weeks. And while I don't have much to say on FFX -- it's a great game, maybe not for me -- I have quite a bit to say about FFX2. I need the catharsis, so I'm just going to jump right in, by topic.
The Stuff Everyone Hates
Just to get this out of the way, the completion business is completely bonkers. Some of the stuff guarding 100% (Via Infinito is a great example) feels like post-game screw around stuff to extend playtime, not critical do-this-or-get-a-bad-ending stuff. My theory is that that's how it was intended to work, but at some point they put more and more emphasis on that elusive completion, and it's... ugh. I mean, they make you perform a major faction choice early in the game, and one of them will then and there torpedo your "perfect run". Another bit of completion and an either-or choice of unique accessory relies on who you talk to first with no indication of it mattering. It's confusing and obtuse.
Oh, and the outfits are ridiculous. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time there. Just talking about it makes me feel a bit skeevy.
Mechanics
I love job-change systems, strategic building, and the new ATB system here is a lot of fun, with shit happening everywhere. So it's easy to come in excited. Unfortunately, it all is kind of ... well, let's break it down.

• The ATB system, more and more towards the end of the game, exhibits a huge amount of queueing problems, as more and more you have full charge bars just sitting around waiting for some other shit to get done. More than once I'd finish casting something while a fat tonberry was waving his knife around, only to sit there staring at him for several seconds, and then have him attack again. Against multitarget fights (like Major Numerous) it feels particularly punishing as it seems easy for your actions to clump up after quite a few of the enemy's. Some clarity on the turn ordering would have helped a lot (perhaps an FFX-style display). As it is, it's very hard to make multipart strategies work. Which you need to do, because...
  
• The job system is, like, not really a job system. It's a weird beast, because most of the jobs feel like they're pretty locked in to a role, but then there isn't any credible way to benefit from more than one job at a time. (Yes, hang on, I'm getting to that.) So clearly the sphere change system is meant to pick up that slack, and the idea of strategically laying out jobs on a board to move between was really cool, up until the first time I needed to traverse the whole board (Paine's special sphere, maybe?) and it became obvious that there wasn't any cost to doing so; if you spam the sphere changes you can get everyone through all of their boards before the enemy does anything in 90% of cases. There's no other cost to changing spheres, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing here, but it feels like any board with some powerful effect behind "hit all the gates" is just saying "to continue character progression you're going to have to do thirty seconds of mindless button mashing before every fight." Okay, so I leave that behind, but then, if you don't swap jobs, it's back to overrestricted roles again.
  
• As you progress, items try to address this, as you get accessories (and boards!) that let you access skill sets from another job. By and large these are pretty terrible, for the next few reasons (which also hurt the game as a whole).
  
• The jobs are clogged up with way too much useless gimmick garbage. Almost every job has one or many HP-percent attacks (think Demi), and they have the same problem they've always had, which is that against enemies it would work against you're almost always better off just, like, hitting them. The fat guys you might actually want to try this on are all immune to it, guaranteed. Every single one of these skills is a waste of design and a waste of space, and I resent having to scroll past them looking for something that might work. Except, I can't, because...
  
• Almost all of the stuff that isn't HP-percent is instead normal-attack-plus-status-effect. Anyone who's spent any time playing RPGs knows this issue, and it's the same one as above; against stuff that it would actually work on, you should just get to killing it; it doesn't matter if you put some weak-ass poison on it (and, despite the FFX poison being ridiculously good, the FFX2 poison is so trivial that I stopped bothering to get it off my team halfway through the game). Jobs are absolutely riddled with this shit. For half the classes, literally everything they learn that you can click on is "normal attack plus something that every strong enemy is immune to". And that's what makes the other-job accessories so bad, because getting access to a bunch of ways to pay MP to do a normal attack with a fancy "GUARD" shield over it isn't useful.
  
• Just to cap off these lists of useless moves, the "best" skills in jobs will frequently be some kind of instant death (there are dozens of these). Same problem as above except moreso, because even more stuff will be immune. Like, seriously, some jobs have multiple instant death attacks, and none of them ever work.
  
• But what about magic? I've been a black magic fan for decades. Well, the designers hate me specifically, because magic in this game sucks shit. I mean, it's absolutely awful. The black mage class learns three levels of the elemental spells and nothing else (power spells like Flare and Ultima are unlocked on sphere change boards and aren't specific to any job), and they do horrible damage. Without context maybe this isn't useful, but a max level black mage (99) with max magic (255) and the pay-more-for-stronger-spells ability (Magic Booster) can come up to Shiva, weak to fire, and hit her with the strongest fire spell right in the face, and it will do less than 2000 damage. At those stat levels normal attacks are expected to hit the 9999 cap regularly, to say nothing of -- well, I'm getting to that.
  
• Okay, but what about other jobs? BLM sucks, what else is there? Okay, there's White Mage -- no Holy, just heals. And... well, that's it. All the other classes are variants on fighters with only a couple gimmick exceptions (the Songstress doesn't use stats, and the Alchemist only uses items). Someone is about to bring up the Gun Mage -- the Blue Mage of FFX2, but check it out -- quite a few of the blue magics are physical, all of them are kind of bleh, and the other menu the Gun Mage gets is the ability to do a physical, strength-based attack that will do quadruple damage if you can pick the enemy's type from a list. Seriously, for physical dealers we have Fighter, Gunner, Samurai, Dark Knight, Berserker, Trainer, and Thief, explicitly strength jobs (oh, did Dark Knight fool you because it's sphere grid gives bonuses to Magic for some reason? The darkness command doesn't use strength, the spells they cast all inflict status and don't care about Magic, and also don't work, and the capstone Black Sky does magic damage but is based on your strength). Even the oddballs have no use for magic, even as a simple "attack" command (strength, natch) never goes out of style.
  
• Okay, but magic lets you hit elemental weaknesses? No. This is another big filler for classes -- not as much as status and fraction, but just about as useless, many physical jobs will have attack commands for each element. Why spend MP to cast a spell to hit a weakness for 2000 when you can hit a weakness with a physical attack for four times that? But by the latter parts of the game, elemental weaknesses are becoming very rare, and a bit hard to guess at, meaning playing the elements is really asking for it.
  
• Doesn't this mean the magic stat is useless and magic-users suck shit? Yeah, that's what I said above.
  
• But even most of the physical stuff gets gimmicked out of the room; there are a handful of physical abilities that ignore defense. FFX2 uses a smooth percentage based defense-based system, and higher-level mobs have more defense, so ignoring defense is a HUGE deal, especially against bosses and superbosses (for instance, an attack might do 1200 on a hard target, but ignoring defense would do more like 15,000 with the same power.) So you can try to overpower enemies with strong defense-affected attacks, and lose the game, or you can use... well, let's give it its own bullet point.
  
• Allow me to introduce the bread and butter of the game. The strongest, defense-ignoring, hit-everything attack. It's a specialty of the Samurai, so you know it's going to be good. What happens is, you swing your sword, and use it to... launch a little firecracker at enemies, which lands at their feet and merrily pops, dealing basically the most damage you can deal, easily growable into tens of thousands. Yeah, it's called Fireworks, and it being the strongest move in the game is ridiculous. And there's not even any contest; you can set someone up with max magic (inadvisable, see above) and magic boost and Ultima and get everything right and blow all your MP and -- you'll hit almost not quite as hard as a samurai just randomly using Fireworks. Sometimes enemies have much lower magic defense, but remember, Fireworks ignores defense. It's exactly as good against everything, it hits everything on the field. (One might note there are not any player-accesible spells that ignore magic defense.)
  
• Seriously. Fireworks. And yes, I know that gunpowder, and rockets, and all that jazz, and if the thing had a little more oomph to it I might like it, or if it made any sense at all, but to completely outclass actually using the sword you're holding in every possible way? FFS.
  
• There is one decent alternative for damage-ignoring, and it's on the Mascot sphere -- a "super" job you unlock by doing everything perfectly. They're different for each person, but they come with a pile of status and fraction attacks (...) and Yuna and Paine's can use a powerful single-target defense-ignoring attack. Arguably Fireworks is still better, but you can mix it up with these. Not that they look any cooler; the Mascot job puts each girl in a huge fluffy costume (a Moogle, a Cait Sith, and a Tonberry) with big goofy details, and the moves for all of them are all cartoony jokes. I hate when games do this -- make the strongest stuff these kinds of joke items -- but whatever.
  
• Ok, so, whatever, that all sucks. What about the special dressspheres? These turn one of the three into a super-powered version that chases off the other party members and replaces them with parts of their new huge form. In principle this is badass, and the idea of three pieces designed to work together is cool, and it's a powerful moment to go completely... well, whatever they're going. If the things were ever useful it'd be great. Unfortunately, they have stats that are fixed to your level, and don't gain the effect of any equipment you have, and don't get the benefit of the sphere grid you used (apart from a small HP bonus for larger ones), and their stats are not great. They accelerate at high levels, but by then you'll have accessories that increase your power dramatically, and losing those for the special spheres means they're going to struggle to do any damage at all. Oh, and they're clogged to the gills with status attacks, and instant death, and all that, of course. They woulnd't really be usable even if you didn't have to play fox-and-hound on your controller for thirty seconds to unlock changing into them.
  
• I'm getting too worked up, let me segue. Equipment consists entirely of two accessories per person, and any bonus effects on your sphere grid. There aren't any weapons and armor; the aesthetics (and, nominally, the stats) are built into the jobs themselves, so you're always using the same weapon. I found this really boring, especially since most of the accessories for most of the game are simple stat bonuses or immunity to one specific status effect. Later you start getting more interesting options, but then those get blown away again by the late-game stuff; massive stat bonus items and needing to use an accessory to break the damage cap. (And another to break the HP cap, if that's your thing.) You can't really get this stuff intrinsically, creating a "tax" on a resource you only have two of. Notably, the special spheres I mentioned above can learn to break the damage cap automatically, which is hilarious because typically it doesn't matter, they can't do 9999 anyway. And if that wasn't enough, you have to unlock that ability with FFX-flavored finding key items in random places everywhere.
  
• Areas? The outdoor environments are beautiful and varied, and while the new "jumping" (read: "hold B to keep going") is a bit cheesy and obstructionist at times the areas are interesting to navigate and explore. Of course, then you go in a dungeon and everything is murky square corridors forever. It's kind of a jarring change.
  
• Oh, that reminds me. You know how sometimes in RPGs they'll make dungeons that have just ridiculously long, featureless corridors, obviously there just to make you get in more fights? Via Infinito is 100 floors of that, and it's an absolute grind, and it's needed for completion. I mean, this thing is worse than the Chrysler Building, or the Karma Palace. It's just... ugh.
  

Okay, I'm tired of talking about mechanics. Basically, they suck, the game hates the Magic stat and anyone who wants to cast a spell, there's one ability out of all the abilities on every job that matters and it throws a little party for the enemy before breaking the game over your knee. Hope you like fireworks.
Story
The story is told from a unique perspective and with kind of a unique flavor. Some of that flavor I absolutely hate -- the music for most of the game just kind of grates on me, some of the characters are just too much, and things stay always a little silly -- but that's not bad, it's more a matter of preference. I think that writing this story was a fun experiment. By the time it had concluded I feel like it lost track of what it was doing and left some stuff just kind of hanging, but all in all I enjoyed it. It's frustrating because so many elements and details are locked behind impossible-to-predict random actions, triggers, and areas, so to see it all you need a walkthrough and a spreadsheet, which really kills the flow of the story itself.
** Creature Creator **
This -- where you capture fiends and make them fight in arena battles -- is completely disconnected from the rest of the game, but is a lot of fun. I enjoyed trying different strategies with different creatures, and since you can customize their abilities by feeding them items it helped to recapture some of that tactical complexity that I feel is missing with the specialized jobs and no equipment. Really, I wish it wasn't there, because I would have been done with this game 100 hours earlier, but it was fun to mess around with.
The stories you unlock from releasing monsters are all basically comedy skits, but some are entertaining and it's fun to get a glimpse into the lives of random people.
** Other **
I really enjoyed most of the battle quips and the quotes that go with the various jobs, although sometimes they were a bit forced. This, though:

• "Duck soup!"
  
• "Duck what?"
  

is the funniest thing I've heard all year and I'm not kidding.
** Overall **
You know already just from the word count above. I found the story inoffensive and some of the side activities fun, but the mechanical aspects of this RPG feel very... I don't know, amateurish, like they were put together by someone who has never actually played an RPG and confronted the harsh reality of strong enemies being immune to things. Between that, and the domination of Fireworks, and the deep hostility to magic, there was never really anything I was excited about learning or developing. I'd get a new job and I'd know already what I'd find -- more pointless attacks and a couple of good auto-abilities. There was precious little to look forward to getting, meaning the strategic element I crave in my number-based games was almost entirely missing. It promises Tactics and delivers Mystic Quest. (No shade, FFMQ had amazing music and I really kind of like it, even if it's a wafer-thin game.)
I'd love to discuss any of this in the comments with anyone with different experiences. Having put the game to rest, in retrospect it felt... draining, more than anything. A billion things to keep track of over tiny little fractions of percent of progress, dozens and dozens and dozens of "attack-plus-this" that don't matter, and probably the worst black magic nerf of any FF game. Pretty disappointing overall.

My 1998 A4 avant 2.4 (ALF engine? 30 v V6 anyway) has developed a problem.
I fueled up the day before yesterday. Did the classic mistake and drove off with the tank lid open - and lost the lid. Bought a cheap spare plastic tank lid.
yesterday we went to the next city 70 km away. On the way there, the car stuttered a little once, but i didn't think much of it.
During the drive home it lost power twice, cruising around 120-130 indicated ( 115 on the gps), just died and then came back after a few seconds. a couple minutes after losing power and coming back on, the fuel gage dropped to zero, and lit the "plz fill up" light, with a beep, and then popped up again to level after a minute. This happened 3 times, and then we turned off the motorway to check it out.
As we pull in to a burger place and get out, the car pissed a little puddle of blackish fuel on the ground, from a hose end under the threshold just behind the right hand front wheel. We decided to go directly home. When i started the engine, the fuel leak stopped, and we drove home across town. When we got home there was nothing leaking, so its now parked up here.
Where do I begin to understand and troubleshoot this?
Can someone point me to a drawing with all the hoses to see what goes where?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 68%. (I'm a bot)

"Out of everything I saw there, the only thing that interested me was the production of wine," Vladimir Putin said in January 2021, speaking with students on TV. The Russian president also claimed he had nothing to do with the "Palace."
Despite sanctions for Russia's war on Ukraine, the Italian specialist continues to work in Russia.
"During our production, we use natural, unbleached cork of the highest grade A. To make them, first, the bark is collected from cork oaks that are at least 52 years old and then sorted by quality," the producers of Usadba Divnomorskoe said on Instagram shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine.
The only problem is, all the leading suppliers are based in the EU. "Since the beginning of the Ukraine war, Corticeira Amorim have suspended all exports to Russia, as well as any direct investment in that country," a spokesperson for the Portuguese firm, also the world's largest cork producer, told DW. Portugal is responsible for about 70% of global cork production, followed by Spain at about 10%. Customs data indicate that Abrau-Durso and Usadba Divnomoskoe use corks from Corticeria Amorim.
For wine producers who claim to belong to the premium class, natural cork is an essential feature, Utz Graafmann, publisher of the well-known German online wine encyclopedia Wein.Plus, told DW. "It's traditional. Technically, the cork can be replaced with a synthetic plug or a screw-on cap. But producers are often reluctant to choose these alternatives, because they fear their product will be associated with cheap wine," he explained.
Customs data from ImportGenius show that the winery continued importing corks from Corticeira Amorim via Turkey after the EU embargo went into effect in July 2022.

Hi, I apologise for the longish post. A few NSFW bits too.
I (M40, HL) have been in a dead bedroom for 20 years. It's been on average once every 3 months for as long as I can remember.She did the classic bait and switch from the moment we moved in when we were younger, starting off as a normal healthy regular sex life, and very quickly after moving in, she rejected most of my advances and showed very little interest in having a healthy sexual relationship with me. Every time I tried to instigate, i was nearly always rejected. And, if she does accept, it's normally when she's drunk. I just feel like she never really wants me, she just wants to get herself off and be done with it. While she's never been one for giving me favours or ensuring I have my needs met, more importantly she just never shows any sexual desire towards me. Over the years I learnt to repress my sexual desires and stop instigating with her, because the rejection was always too much to bear. So I stopped trying some years ago and just left it to her to instigate, which is about once every 3 or 4 months whenever she is drunk and just wants to get herself off. Once she's orgasmed, I either finish myself off, or just lie down and go to bed and don't bother. So, sex with her in the latter part of our 20-year relationship has nearly always been one-sided towards her needs, if at all whenever she has them.
Case in point, this morning, the kids are away round their grandparents. A rare chance for fun. I made an effort this morning, she basically just laughed at me when I tried to show some intimacy with her, wasn't interested in receiving any foreplay, didn't want to look at me or kiss me, and just turned round and expected me to put it in her. Unsurprisingly she was dry like a desert, and I just had to cancel any attempt and get out of bed. My biggest turn off in my middleage is clear: I hate not being wanted or desired sexually, I want to feel loved and appreciated. Not having these needs met is my biggest turnoff.
I feel however that I am in that stage of my life when I need to deal with the issue, but start making more advances with her to re-validate to myself whether she actually wants me or not. Sometimes, years of resentment builds up and you don't always paint a clear picture. So, this means me putting in more effort to show interest and instigate more sex with her so we can have more conversations around her lack of libido or want to pleasure me. I'm sure it will be tough as I'll be rejected, but I need to try.
Here's the kicker: recently, when thinking to myself that I should start instigating sex, I find myself being too resentful to even try. I have this lingering anger of "well, she's spent 20 years ignoring my sexual needs, why should I suddenly start making more of an effort?". There's also the issue of not feeling sexually wanted by her getting in the way of me wanting to have sex with her. It feels a bit like trying to have sex with a friend who you know isn't romantically interested in you. I feel like a pain in her ass, but I also feel like she's kind of cheated me out of a normal healthy sexual relationship for so long, that I owe her nothing in this regard.
And this resentment is stopping me from trying to instigate sex with her. So, my question is, for the HL here who have been in a DB for many years, how did you fight through the resentment? The resentment is big, it's real, and I need to understand if I can work through this. Or, were you unable to, and you considered this the final straw?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

I strongly believe that habits and discipline form in the right environment. You can not smell flowers while standing in mud And not everyone is lotus to be able to grow on mud. Environment plays an important role in having a disciplined and peaceful life. I know I am not living my worst life many people have been through worst than me. But I always want to have a nicer lifestyle and place to motivate me to work and make me disciplined. I am an artist I always want to have my studio a workplace like Americans have so dreamy My place is no way near. I want to shoot youtube videos woke up every morning and had to do a lot of desk jobs but my environment is making me a lazy person. I don't have much to invest at this point.

On my way to work tonight, I had already seen 2 accidents occur in front of me due to speedy drivers. Then I had a damn ute up my rear for a good 5km, with brights on, and if I hadn't moved nearly off the road he would have clipped me off the road like the other vehicles before.
I don't know why you would want to be in a rush, when getting home safely, without ruining other peoples days/nights, seem more important.
I'm in no rush to get to work. As long as I get there, that's fine. Same for when I go home. I'm in no rush, I just want to make it.
Come on New Zealand, be driver-wise.

So I'm from India and Ozempic is not even available here. But I see many influencers like Shallon lester using ozempic and losing weight easily. And it makes me mad that I have to do slow CICO for about 1.5 years nearly to reach my goal weight while these rich people are doing it eadily. Life is so unfair. Everyone deserves to be in best shape and healthy weight.

I activated Gallery Labs and got 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and 5.x, but for some reason not 4.x, which is the one that would let me get rid of the stupid Gallery suggestions notifications. On OneUI 4.1, using Gallery version 14.1.04.2, which my system claims is the most current version.
Any recommendations for how to activate?

This adobe toolkit script will replace all instances of 'var something = number' in your expression with a link to a new slider control set to that name and number.
this will be incredibly useful to me, and im blown away that GPT4 was able to write this correctly on it's first try. had to share because this has to be useful to someone else too. this is the code (I added an undo function):
app.beginUndoGroup("X");
// 1. Access the active composition, layer, and property var comp = app.project.activeItem; var layer = comp.selectedLayers[0]; var property = layer.selectedProperties[0];
// 2. Extract the expression var expression = property.expression;
// 3. Parse the expression to find variables var regex = /var\s+(\w+)\s*=\s*([\d\.]+)/g; var match; while (match = regex.exec(expression)) { var varName = match[1]; var varValue = parseFloat(match[2]);
// 4. Create expression control slider var slider = layer.Effects.addProperty("ADBE Slider Control"); slider.name = varName; slider.property("Slider").setValue(varValue);
// 5. Link the expression to the slider var newExpression = expression.replace(new RegExp('var\\s+' + varName + '\\s*=\\s*' + varValue, 'g'), varName + ' = thisLayer.effect("' + varName + '")("Slider")'); property.expression = newExpression; } app.endUndoGroup();
I've actually been writing tons of adobe toolkit scripts with GPT4, but this one was one of the simplest and most impressive to me. Note I dont think I ever wrote an adobe script before GPT... heres a link to the chat if you want to see how i prompted it to write this code and rewrite the title to this post lmao https://chat.openai.com/share/76e0869b-efb6-4877-93c1-f82098f5e47b

12. Timegrapher numbers: +1s, correct 28800 beat and I think ok amplitude
    
13. Anything else you notice: 9 marker looks slightly wonky?
    

I’m (19 M) dating this girl (20 F) and we’ve been going for about a year and at half now. Our relationship started off weird, with a couple months of sheer bliss and then a summer of which we went into an open relationship but it only applied to her. I was not allowed to hook up with anyone else. We are very different people in a lot of ways and I find it somewhat hard to be myself around this girl for fear of being criticized. We seem to find ourselves getting into weird arguments over things both political and emotional. On top of this, we haven’t had sex in about 2 or 3 months because she has anxiety from it. All this being said, she treats me very well and it is obvious that she loves me and cares about me a lot. We live in different states so we’re apart for the summer (we go to school together). I feel the need to get with other people while I’m here, especially since I’ve been in a nearly sexless relationship for so long. The problem is that this girl is extremely attached to me and I am scared of what will happen if I ask to go open or take a break. I really do care about her and her feelings but my needs are not being met. On top of this, we are supposed to see each other in a few weeks Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

After a very solid month of throwing myself at this problem, I've finally found some limited success in getting a very detailed product programming manual ingested, and having the model give answers that don't completely suck. I would not say it's ready to plug into commercial chatbot, but I will say it's halfway there, and it is a far cry more progress than I've had in the first three weeks. Since this forum is all about the collaborative effort and spirit, I wanted to share some discoveries I've made to hopefully save others some time. Note that I have a good workstation (48GB RTX A6000), but I never used any external APIs or cloud services or anything, this is all 100% in-house besides for downloading models and oobabooga.

1. I had immense difficulty getting normal LORAs to make any sense of my documentation, or gain anything remotely meaningful from it even with a lot of preparation, shortening my corpus, etc. Then, once I completely rebuilt Oobabooga and tried out QLORA, I got a lot of progress very quickly and actually got things that made sense. Since this is just research and nothing commercial, I trained on Wizard 13M on a 102KB corpus text file (with the load-in-4bit and use_double_quant checkboxes ticked before loading the model), with the hyper-p's of 12 epochs, 3e-5 LR, Cosine scheduler, Micro batch 2, Batch size 512, LORA Rank 2048 (click the advanced box to enable this), LORA Alpha 4096, Cutoff Length 2048, Overlap 512. It took a few hours to process, but afterwards the answers I got were sometimes very good.
2. One big difficulty I had is that my company name and product have very similar names of other products and company names, and very likely these models have had extensive exposure to these similar names, and it was frustrating trying to get the data for -my- product. What really helped me was to tone down the temperature, and make a prompt that specified exactly what the product and technology this product is about, and this helped cut down on the hallucinations so that I could find out how much the model really knew about my corpus.
3. I initially turned my corpus into a whole bunch of Q&A using a 4-bit quantized local 65B model via the API and some bad python script I might have posted elsewhere here, telling it to convert my corpus to Q&A. Since I had the temperature a bit high, it actually injected a lot of hallucinations into my corpus. I may go back to this route, as it allows me to easily put in a lot of RLHF answers based on the feedback I'm getting. Also, when training on plain text instead of JSON prompt/answer pairs, the language model definitely seems prone to inject it's biases it learned from similar products, which is probably the #1 reason why this isn't ready right now. Responding and controlling those biases in the training corpus is probably my next step in my project.
4. I believe the QLORA approach is the closest we have to a full fine-tuning, without renting cloud hardware, so many thanks to the smart people involved with that.
5. Perplexity is your best friend. Next to the Train Lora tab is the Perplexity Evaluation tab, and this is a way to sneak preview how puzzling a specific model will find your corpus, and turn the whole thing into a single number - the lower this number, the stronger the model will understand it and be able to make sense of it. This is a way to investigate different models, and if you've trained a LORA adapter and the perplexity increases, you know you are on the wrong track. It's a way to get measurable feedback besides random questions on your corpus.

More than anything, is I just literally went down one dead-end after another, and tried everything I could. The absolute most useful thing for me actually is reading this forum every day, because I learned something new every day.

This happened may 31st 2023, so just a few days ago but it was my boyfriends birthday and he has this field behind his house with a clearing so the stars are really pretty out there at night so we got a blow up mattress some pillows and blankets and parked his truck in the field to look at the stars, it all started when I had to pee so I made my bf walk back to his house to get me toilet paper so I could just pee outside and use the toilet paper but when he was gone I was on the passenger side of the truck standing outside it and I heard something messing with the driver side door handle and I just tried to ignore it and pretend I didn’t hear it because I don’t handle things like that well I just pretend it isn’t happening and waited for him to get back, when he got back a few minutes later he brought his cat with him and when the cat got out there with him the cat was absolutely terrified and you could see it in his face and he never acts like that and he jumped down and me and my bf were back in the back bed of the truck laying on the air Mattress looking at the stars and he heard his cat sneeze and started looking around and something just came over me and I begged him not to get out because he wanted to get out to find the cat, so he didn’t get out and we laid back down and I was honestly about to fall asleep and so was he and my bf just kept mumbling “can’t fall asleep I have to protect you, I need to protect you” and not even 30 seconds later we heard what sounded like a 4 year old girl laugh in the edge of the field near the woods and he just said we need to leave right now I’ll explain when we get back to the house, so we left and as soon as we got back all he was said was “ it was a sk*****ker, it was mimicking noises to get us to separate out of the truck” and ever since that night really weird things have been happening to us and we always feel really uneasy, the next night we were talking about it and afterwards we drove around and we drove by an abandoned house and every light in that house flickered on and off when we drove by, and we’ve drove by a lot of street lamps that randomly go out and come back on as we pass them driving, and honestly I don’t feel safe anywhere I go. I’m definitely lucky to be alive since he left me alone in that field once that night but my mom told me they can follow you and attach themselves to you so all we can do is pray, if anyone has any advice please don’t hesitate to give it because honestly I’m scared for my life and usually I don’t strongly believe in this stuff, but earlier that night he mentioned one and said the word so we think that’s why we encountered one and honestly I just want it to go away.
