Commonwealth journal news11/28/2023 Cynthia and I extend our deepest sympathy to the Wiles family and his incredible circle of friends.”Ĭurrent Somerset Mayor Alan Keck encouraged people to play a round of golf in Wile's honor. ![]() It is always tough to lose a dear friend and community pillar, like J.P. I’m proud of the accomplishments we made during his tenure as Mayor of Somerset and the lasting impact that those projects will continue to have on our community for many decades. The shooter, Carl 'Ricky' Smittle Jr., 50, fled. Erick Scott Pitman, 34, of Nancy, was killed after he was shot following an argument at Oil Center around midnight Friday. He was by my side on the earliest campaign trails, a trusted partner on projects for our beloved hometown, and always the best teammate - both on the golf course and in business. Breaking news: The Pulaski County Sheriff's Department has arrested a Eubank man after a shooting in the Oil Center area off Ringgold Road. Wiles was one of Somerset’s most cheerful mayors and one of my closest friends. The Commonwealth Journal is a six-day (Tuesday through Sunday) morning daily newspaper based in Somerset, Kentucky, and covering Pulaski County. Wiles, whom he considered a close friend: until the funeral starts at noon.Įarly Friday morning Congressman Hal Rogers made a statement about the passing of J.P. A second visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 31 from 10 a.m. The visitation will be on Monday, December 30 after 5 p.m.

Try meena chatbot11/27/2023 ![]() So, choices offered to customers by chatbots, are often as simple as A, B or C. Today, programmers have to limit the options that customer service chatbots offer or too many conversations result in dead-ends, unmet requests and frustrated customers. The latent opportunity for virtual customer assistants is that they could play an active role in defining needs and preferences in the moment, whilst in conversation with the customer, helping to create highly personalised services. Or, if we feel the conversation is just too much effort for the reward, we just give up. We rephrase our questions when a chatbot can't interpret our request or choose from the options offered, rather than try to solicit further information. If the benefits outweigh the frustration, we're happy to work around the problem. As consumers, we are now conditioned to dealing with technology that doesn't quite work. Global advisory firm Gartner Group has found AI chatbots used for customer service can lead to reductions in customer calls, email and other enquiries by up to 70 per cent.Īll this industry growth and customer service success is taking place despite the innumerable issues that users encounter when trying to have customer service conversations with AI chatbots. According to research company Markets and Markets, the global market for conversational AI solutions is forecast to grow from $4.2 billion (Dh15.4bn) in 2019 to $15.7bn by the year 2024.Ĭhatbot solutions built for large enterprises have the ability to carry on tens of thousands of conversations simultaneously, drawing on millions of data points. ![]() Business and government organisations worldwide are investing in chatbots, in an effort to enhance customer service levels, decrease costs and open up new revenue opportunities. The global AI chatbot market offers one of the best examples for how AI can drive revenue for businesses. However, Google's quest to develop a superior chatbot is far from academic. Since then, the Turing Test has been somewhat of a Holy Grail for computer scientists and technology developers. Alan Turing, the famous British World War II codebreaker and one of the founding fathers of AI theory, developed a test to measure if a computer system can exhibit intelligent behaviour indistinguishable from that of a human in 1950. ![]() This neural network was then trained on large volumes of data to create 2.6 billion parameters, which inform those algorithms and so improve Meena's conversation quality.Ĭreating conversational computer applications that can pass for human intelligence has been a core theme for both computer science and science fiction since the fifties. The team's solution has been to build the chatbot on a neural network, a set of algorithms modeled loosely on the way the human brain works, which is designed to recognise patterns in data. One of the things that Google's development team has been working on is how to increase the chatbot's ability to hold multi-turn conversations, where a user's follow-up questions are considered by AI in context of the whole conversations so far. The result, Google says, is that Meena can chat with you about just about anything and hold a better conversation than any other AI agent created to-date. Last week, a team from Google published an academic paper on ‘Meena', an open-domain chatbot developed on top of a huge neural network and trained on about 40 billion words of real social media conversations. Asio4all vs fl studio asio11/27/2023 ![]() My Audio interface is working fine although it uses Windows generic drivers, it is installed correctly, and in all other cases it provides perfect sound rendering. But if I default to using the windows sound drivers then Studio One and Notion 6 seem to work, but this doesn't seem right or optimal. There is no sound and no movement in either Studio One or Notion 6. Un sistema operativo compatible con WDM, como Win98SE / ME / 2k / XP / 2003 / XP64 o Windows Vista x86 / 圆4. Utiliza WDM Kernel-Streaming y, a veces, métodos aún más sofisticados para lograr sus objetivos. However, after tinkering, the FL Studio ASIO drivers started working, but the ASIO4All drivers for Studio One just keep blinking red with that exclamation mark and it will not stop. ASIO4ALL es un controlador ASIO de baja latencia independiente del hardware para dispositivos de audio WDM. But it was never a problem before, and those settings had never needed to be played with. Re: SOLUTION for FL Studio ASIO crackling with no underruns or cpu overload. macOS - You can adjust the Buffer length direct from the interface as shown below. You should see the FL Studio ASIO control panel. In Windows 11 right click on the speaker icon, choose Sound Settings then scroll down to Advanced and choose More sound settings then the steps above. Windows - Click the Show ASIO panel button to open the audio device driver Buffer Size (latency) settings. I tried everything from Google to YouTube and nothing has worked, I made sure that the settings on the PC were set up correctly because I read that this can cause an issue for recording and playback. I cant believe people are recommending ASIO4ALL over the devices ASIO driver. In the future after any audio driver or firmware update repeat all the steps above. In terms of playback, things sound identical. First the ASIO4All drivers (latest 2_14), and then the FL studio ASIO drivers, making all the DAWs nonresponsive. The only difference I can tell between Audio Interface Driver to ASIO4ALLv2 to FL Studio ASIO is latency. Once everything was set up and ready to go, suddenly the ASIO drivers just failed on me. ![]() I upgraded to a dual monitor set up yesterday, one with an HD connection and one with a VGA connection, both connected to a graphics card with its own dedicated ram. I am running both Studio One, FL Studio, and Notion 6 on this PC, but never at the same time, except recently when trying the new rewire feature between Studio one and Notion 6. Windows 10 Professional 64bit / Version 20H2 Build 19042.867 ![]() I am using Studio One 5 (upgrade from Artist (and not professional)), Candy hearts sayings list11/27/2023 ![]() “The neural network picked up on none of that,” to the delight of people on the internet who love when robots try to approximate human feeling. “I have to give you a book because you're the only thing in your eyes” was one of her favorites, as was "You look like a thing and I love you.” (Side note: 1000 points for any of you who try one of these this weekend.) “It's great because the original lines that I gave it, most of were like, horrible or aggressive or had some innuendo, or they had these puns that were just awful,” Shane explains. “It actually made some very good pick up lines that were good in a way that you wouldn’t really expect,” Shane says. Shane also trained a neural network to come up with its own pickup lines, also for a Valentine’s Day-themed experiment. ![]() You can check out a more complete (and amazing) list at AI Weirdness. “Cool Cud,” “Am Good,” and “Me My <3” formed the middle tier of good to weird phrases, and “Time Hug,” “U Hack,” and “Love 2000 Hogsyea” scraped the bottom of the barrel. “Love Bot” was one kind of on the nose example, and the AI also generated “My Bear.” But others toed the line between slightly off and completely surreal. Some of the results the neural network created were actually kind of good - not far off from what you might actually see on a candy heart IRL. (For context, you usually need a few hundred thousand examples to train a neural network to imitate the prior examples and generate new ones, rather than simply repeat back the original examples.) “I really wanted the neural network candy hearts” for Valentine’s Day, she says. Because there were only a few hundred actual candy heart phrases to use as inspiration, Shane had to tinker with the program quite a bit before she let it do its AI thing. Shane tells Bustle that she wanted to see how “weird” she could get the generally “tame” candy heart messages to be by training a neural network - a computer system that works kind of like the human brain - to spit out new ones, based on the patterns it saw in the originals. After inputting a few hundred unique candy heart phrases into a data set, the computer came up with wholly unique phrases, such as “My My,” “You A love,” and “Fang.” Cue infinite amusement. Research scientist Janelle Shane, who runs the blog AI Weirdness, trained a neural network to generate candy heart messages and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. You know, the ones that usually say “I <3 U” or “Be Mine” in red ink on a pastel sugar background? Everyone ignores the fact that the hearts actually taste kind of gross, but one woman has found a way to make the candy heart experience a million times better. When I was little, no Valentine’s Day was complete without a red box of those candy hearts. Blackvue power magic battery pack review11/27/2023 I can confirm the B-130X has low temp charge cut off / protection. It also indicated the battery’s temperature at 6℉ (-14℃). I checked the BlackVue App, and it indicated “Low Temperature Warning The battery’s temperature is too low, which may limit its lasting time and charging speed”. The indicated amperage on my variable power supply was fixed at 12mAh, or 0.012 Amps. I turned on the B-130X, and engage the charge procedure. I connected the B-130X to my variable power supply and set it to 14.6 Volts 10 Amps. This brought the B-130X’s temp down to 8℉ (-13℃). I placed the B-130X in two ziploc freezer bags, and put it in my freezer for 2.5 hours. I wanted to test this, so after the battery was drained to 1% I measured the temperature of the B-130X at 71℉ (21℃). The B-130X specifications claim to have “Low Temperature Cut Off” below 32℉ (0℃), see attached screenshot. Well it looks like BlackVue has met me halfway by going with 14AWG, (I still want 12AWG though). It led me to recommend the BBMC PC8 change the 16AWG hardwire charge cable to 12AWG size wire, (the maximum size for the XT60 connector). ![]() This was a bone of contention with me because I discovered under the full 9 Amp charge load the PC8’s 16AWG hardwire charge cable would raise in temperature to levels that are in my opinion “too darn high”. The B-130X included hardwire charge cable is 14AWG, (compared to the 16AWG included with the BBMC PC8). However, with one glaring difference that is like a thorn in my side with the BBMC PC8. I’ve only had the B-130X for a few hours, and after unpacking it out of the box it comes with identical accessories, cables, and connections as the BBMC PC8. The B-130X is to be used with the “new” BlackVue APP (Released on 12/6/22) MSRP is $360 USD (this is the price for Amazon, BBMC, retailers, etc.) BlackVue Official Website will be $390 USD. The B-130X will automatically detect which charge method is being used, (5 Amp Cigarette Lighter Adapter / 9 Amp Hardwire Cable) by the use of a 3-Pin XT60 connector on the CLA, and a standard 2-Pin XT60 Connector on the hardwire cable. The previous 3 position switch, (Cigarette | OFF | Hardwire) has been replaced by an ON/OFF switch. ![]() ![]() This was done to minimize the price increase of the B-130X because “very few people end up using it”. The B-130X has removed the expansion port used to daisy chain multiple battery packs together to increase parking mode run time. “We’re going to test that!” (in Project Farm voice). The B-130X has a new “Fuel Gauge Integrated Circuit” for more accurate estimated battery life, and charge time. Last month I tested the BlackboxM圜ar PowerCell 8 with an identical 96Wh capacity so I have that on hand to compare with. They even sent me a DR900X Plus to test it with. I would like to say thank you to for sending me the all new Power Magic Ultra Battery B-130X for test & review.

She also showed poor technique when it came to blowing my hair out and just parting and sectioning off my hair. She tried to say she doesn’t do relaxers often which only causes me to question how long she was using out this tube for? Relaxers only keep so long once opened.
