I haven’t, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future – thanks.
I believe I was when I tried it before, but it’s possible I may have misconfigured things
I’ll give it a shot later today, thanks
edit: Tried out mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf
via the LM Studio app. it runs smoother than I expected – I get about 7-8 tokens/sec. I’ll definitely be playing around with this some more later.
That’s good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I’ll look into it eventually.
I’m looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I’ve tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can’t handle them yet.
kbin has this – the feature is called collections. https://kbin.social/magazines/collections
you can make public ones that others can follow, or private ones to make curated feeds for yourself.
Pandora’s Box is already opened, unfortunately. The Streisand Effect is only going to make this worse.
Most interesting action battle jrpg for me has been Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, which I believe is the team that went on to design FF7 Remake’s system. However, I did not like the latter’s as much.
What scares me more than the fact that this guy exists are how many people chose to and continue to support him
Hehe yeah, I’d have to agree. Studio Ghibli films are really nice. I should probably give it a rewatch some time soon.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
To add further context–I’d like to emphasize that an understanding of written Chinese would help with Kanji, but like you said, to a limited extent. When reading Kanji, there are cases where you’d have to be cognizant of Onyomi and Kunyomi (Basically pronunciations rooted in Chinese vs. Japanese). Not as important if you are strictly “reading”, I suppose. However, this would also not provide insight when reading Hiragana nor Katakana, how particles are used, rules for conjugation (polite vs. casual, past vs. non-past tense, etc.), further reducing mutual intelligibility. In some cases, Chinese characters may be visually identical to Japanese Kanji, yet have different meanings or applications. Traditional Chinese vs. Simplified Chinese is also a whole other topic.
Examples where there is some similarity:
JP: 走る
EN: Run (verb)
CN: 走路
EN: Walk (verb)
Matching characters, unrelated meaning and application:
JP: 勉強
EN: Study (noun)
CN: 勉強
EN: Reluctantly (adverb)
Furthermore, Chinese uses Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, whereas Japanese uses Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. Japanese also regularly uses subject omission, so it’s important to consider these things if you’re moving from one language to the other. Missing an understanding of these differences could lead to pretty different interpretations of a sentence.
That being said, having a background in Chinese would be more beneficial when picking up Japanese than the other way around, IMO.
To further add onto this, they can be public or private. Public Collections are able to be followed by other users. This would be helpful for increasing discoverability for fellow users and communities/magazines. You can create Private Collections for personalized feeds that you may not want to share, negating the need to create a new account for feeds with a different theme or purpose.
On /kbin, there is a feature called Collections – you can group similar communities akin to multireddits. These collections can be public or private, and don’t need to have an overarching theme. Public collections are pretty handy for discoverability too.
It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate precautions. I’m sure others will have better suggestions, but perhaps you can try running a VM for a week or so as if you’ve made the switch and take note of anything you feel you may be lacking.
Couldn’t agree more.
Pokemon FireRed–I’m playing it in Japanese to work on my reading and speaking
I’ve always been curious, but I was working through The Odin Project earlier this year–it recommended to use Linux. Been using Windows less and less as the year has gone on.
Came here to post because I’ve also seen The Symphony of the Goddess live. The poster for it is behind me at the moment. Great experience.
