Hi all,
Nelson Ferraz has been working with generative AI for a while. I've started collaborating with him on his OpenAI modules. He wrote a module named OpenAI::API, but it required manually writing the code for all of the behavior. With the size of the OpenAI API, the rapid evolution, of said API, the birth of new models and the deprecation of old models, this approach turned out to be unmaintainable.
Thus, that module was deprecated in favor of Nelson's OpenAPI::Client::OpenAI module. Throw the 13K+ lines OpenAPI spec for OpenAI at it and it just works. Further, the module is pretty much a single Perl class rather than a bunch of hand-crafted code.
CPAN authors know it can be hard to keep modules up-to-date (mea culpa, mea culpa!) and this module is no exception. I need this module so I offered to collaborate and created a PR to update it to version 2.0.0 of the OpenAI spec. It now passes all the tests (for those wondering, you need an OpenAI key and it costs $0.04 USD to run the test suite).
In trying to build a Whisper pipeline for that, I found that I couldn't. There was a PR for Whisper support for the older module, but for the newer one, I can't figure out how to get it to issue a request with multipart/form-data support. I've noted the issue in the PR.
If anyone would like to see OpenAI support for Perl, we would dearly love to collaborate with you to make this happen.

I’ve never worked on this kind of a system before and there are a couple of concerns I’d like to get some advice from folks more knowledgeable especially if there is a more idiomatic way of approaching this. It’s far from a clear cut question so posting here instead of Stack Exchange.
I want to delta compress snapshots before sending them over the wire unreliably (UDP) for a client/server game. The goal is to be able to:

1. Serialize and compress an array of components into a snapshot struct
2. Produce a delta between two snapshots
3. Apply delta to a given snapshot baseline
4. Interpolate between (any given) two snapshots on the client

In addition, after initial handshake I’ll be sending map data to the client reliably before any snapshots are exchanged. To be specific, ~70 kb if it were simply uncompressed JSON.
Some concerns:

1. If snapshots are stored in the snapshot buffer in a serialized state, I.e. byte array, I can use FossilDelta or a similar lib to generate and apply the deltas directly in binary, and a fast and simple to use lib such as MemoryPack to serialize. However, it means deserializing snapshot binary data when ready to interpolate on the client — that or try to build something that can interpolate without deserializing via reflection which sounds like overkill. This still seems like the best solution.
2. If the snapshot buffer maintains an array of deserialized snapshots, then interpolation is no longer a concern, but now I have to serialize snapshots before generating or applying deltas. Which, is obviously wasteful, as would be storing both binary and object versions of a snapshot.

Thoughts:
I could instead of using MemoryPack (or similar) and FosilDelta (or similar), use something like NetCode lib which is a BitWriter that allows you to serialize (and deserialize) directly against a baseline object. I no longer need FossilDelta lib since NetCode’s BitWriter supports delta compression during serialization. This would give me the best of both worlds but I now have to write all the serialization code by hand using BitWriter for all classes and structs I want serialized.
Another approach, may be to use FlatBuffers which solves for #2 since it provides accessors I could use to iterate a snapshots components and data for client snapshot interpolation without deserializing. This however means I now have to manage a separate FlatBuffers schema and effectively duplicate component structs just for the sake of serialization, accessors are cool, but I don’t need a schema versioning anyway and so it feels like overkill.
As noted, I also need to send reliable data in the form of larger nested object arrays, and so in addition, if I took either of the above approaches, I’d likely still need to fall back to a MemoryPack type approach just for the reliable data as it’s not a simple struct. I’m happy to send it via JSON, but it will still need compressing, and to be honest it would be much less hassle if I could stick to a single serialization library.

About Me
I work as a senior developer. I've tried multiple SaaS products, but PDF Charts is the first one I've successfully launched and it got featured on ProductHunt. My tech stack includes Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS.
About the Product
I realized the challenges in generating accurate PDFs, which led me to create PDF Charts. It is a developer productivity tool that enables developers to generate dynamic PDFs with various charts. Although the internal structure supports generating PDFs with diverse content like charts, QR codes, images, tables, etc., I've chosen to focus on charts for now, as they are in high demand. The product has been live for 4 months but hasn't generated any revenue yet.
Unique Features
There are competitors in this niche, which reassures me of a market need. To differentiate PDF Charts, I included features such as a visual editor for drag-and-drop chart placement and AI-based chart generation using natural language. These features are unique compared to competitors. The visual editor allows users to see exactly how the PDF will look after generating. Additionally, we support having multiple pages in the PDF, which is something that competitors do not offer.
One standout feature is our AI-based chart generation tool. Users can describe the chart they want (e.g., “daily expenses in a ring chart with labels”), and the tool can generate the chart using OpenAI. This removes the need to remember or read documentation to find the right JSON syntax to generate the chart.
Expanding the Product
Recently, a potential client required generating a PDF with a complex layout, which inspired me to launch a new feature: Print Bridge. This feature extracts data from multiple sources to generate beautifully formatted PDFs. It addresses common requirements such as paginated tables and multiple columns, utilizing the knowledge I gained from building PDF Charts.
Ideal Customer Profile
The ideal customer is a developer or semi-technical person who needs to create PDFs with charts dynamically. Instead of figuring out how to do it from scratch, they can use this platform with a simple API call, saving hours of work.
Challenges
Since this is a developer tool, maintaining a free version for developers to try out the service is essential. Despite having 100+ signups, converting them to paid users has been challenging.
Business co-founder profile
I believe that with the right marketing and product placement, PDF Charts can be profitable. I need someone who knows the SaaS space. We could consider pivoting the product direction if necessary. If you have worked in a product or business-related role, ideally in a startup, your expertise would be highly beneficial. I am willing to offer significant equity for the right person. What I seek in a business co-founder is the ability to open up doors that I have not explored or do not have access to. For instance, imagine there is a company that needs to render complex data to PDFs; if we can reach them, PDF Charts can be an excellent solution for them. We need to find those doors somehow. I am not well-versed in marketing and related activities, and that’s where I need your support.

I know how the title sounds, but based on what researchers say nowadays about LLMs, I think they might have a similar idea with what I just came up with. I might be just repeating what they already said because of my lack of research. Maybe you already know everything I'm going to say. Anyways, hear me out:
Tldr: LLMs (or LMMs to account for GPT-4o) are indeed a form of intelligence. However, it is wrong to say that they think the same way we do. No. They don't think, because they are "thoughts" themselves.
Therefore, if we run an LLM endlessly over and over with infinite context size, we will get what is essentially a consciousness. The LLM wouldn't generate the output from its consciousness. The output itself (or the stream of it) would be the consciousness.
____________
People say human intelligence isn't just next-token prediction. They are not wrong. We don't reply "42" to a question like "What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the Universe, and everything?" because that is the most probable next token. When we are asked such a question, our inner thoughts go 'Okay, where did I hear this quote from? I surely recognize this meme... Oh right, it was The Hitchhiker's. And what was that number? I remember it starting with 4... Yeah, 42' before sending a signal to our vocal cords. But how did those inner thoughts form? Where did they come from? Didn't they just occur naturally? ......Maybe, just maybe, what if I told you that that might be the result of next-token prediction? (Yes, I know about people who don't have inner thoughts. But to be precise, it's not that they don't have inner thoughts, but that they don't have inner thoughts in natural language. It's a matter of representation)
Then, it changes how we see LLMs. What we thought as querying the LLM and getting its output, was essentially just forcing the LLM to think something and observing the LLM's thought process afterwards. The LLM never opened its mouth; we opened its brain. This explains why the "Think step-by-step" prompt or the Chain-of-Thought technique prove to be so effective.
Based on this insight, I want to present an analogy.

1. LLM's outputs are exactly the same as "thoughts".
2. LLM's inputs are exactly the same as "memories" or "experiences".
3. Perhaps the most controversial, LLM's training data are exactly the same as "evolution".

Let me elaborate on 3. No, I don't mean genetic algorithm. Yes, I know that neural network s model neurons, not evolution. That's not what I meant.
The crucial difference between LLM's training and human's learning is continuity. Our entire life experiences align neatly on a continuous line, and we learn as we think. On the other hand, LLMs receive a set of arbitrary input-output pairs, which we can substitute with random experiences. If we take a developing human brain and feed it with billions of incoherent memories, will we get a fully functioning person? No one knows. Maybe we will get someone as intelligent as current GPTs.
That's where the analogy comes in. The training data are not exactly memories or experiences, because they lack continuity. Instead, they influence how the model is formed "from the beginning", similarly to how the parents' genes, the product of evolution, form the initial configuration of the brain of the fetus. Seen from this perspective, an LLM is quite a weird species that is born with the vast knowledge of science and society but suffers a severe short-term memory loss known as the context size limitation.
Now, the reason I brought this up is to talk about hallucinations. Some people say hallucinations aren't necessarily LLM's limitations because humans have them too, but humans' hallucinations and LLMs' hallucinations are fundamentally different. Humans have different confidence levels about each of their knowledges, and they have a vague sense of what they know and what they don't. When humans are confident about something wrong, they are usually so for a reason. Flat earthers are who they are because they were influenced by a Youtube video or a Facebook post. Even the Mandela effect is just a combination of blurred memory and human's inference capabilities. It's not the same as LLMs generating news articles that don't exist.
Then why do such hallucinations only occur for LLMs? It's because their knowledges don't come from their "experiences", but rather their "instincts". Actually, humans do have some weird behaviors that are comparable to LLMs' hallucinations. For example, the knee-jerk reflex, the optical illusions, or an actual hallucination. These are the bugs of the brain, where the brain (or the entire nervous system for you nitpickers) generates a non-sensical signal caused by its malfunctioning pattern matching process that is acquired instinctively.
All things considered, it becomes only so clear what we need to achieve a true intelligence. It might be unrealistic. If we wanted to emulate the human intelligence using an LLM, we would need these:

1. A way of handling billions of, trillions of, near-infinite context size: Remember. The context IS the memory. For LLMs to learn the same way humans do, we need an efficient architecture to store large contexts. Something like the short-term memory and the long-term memory.
2. A fast and energy-efficient model that can run on its own endlessly: To think means to output tokens. At least when it's performing its tasks, the LLM should never stop.
3. Seamless embedding of external input: When we see something, the image appears in our mind. That sort of thing should also happen with an LLM while it's on its infinite thought process.
4. A special code for the LLM to trigger an action: It models how the brain sends a signal to our muscles to initiate an action. If a specific code is detected in the LLM's output, that's when the LLM actually interacts with the outside world. You might say this is already how we do it now, but when I say interaction, I mean any kind of interaction. For example, when you input a query to a text model-based intelligence or say something to a voice model-based intelligence, what you will get in return is not its whole output, but only the parts it has marked with the special code.
5. Refined training datasets: We've been training models on texts, images, and audio. But for this idea to work, we need a specialized (or generalized depending on your perspective) dataset that embodies the "thought" itself. I can't imagine how it would be done, but I believe it is necessary to develop a proper "instinct" for the AI.

I know that so many of these requirements are unrealistic. I'm not saying that this is absolutely what we should try to achieve. Airplanes don't fly with feathers. Cars don't run with legs. It's entirely possible that the current approach alone has a potential to achieve the AGI-level intelligence, even though we are just disguising a small fragment of thought as an interaction. But a framework for perfection still has its worth, doesn't it?

Attention Brave users! The latest update, version 1.66.110, brings some exciting new features and much-needed improvements to Brave Leo, the AI assistant integrated within the browser.
Introducing Claude 3: Haiku and Sonnet
The star of the show is undoubtedly the addition of two new Large Language Models (LLMs) to Brave Leo's arsenal: Claude 3 Haiku (free) and Claude 3 Sonnet (premium). These AI models expand the capabilities of Brave Leo, allowing users to leverage the power of AI for even more tasks. While specific details about their functionalities haven't been revealed yet, the names themselves offer some clues.
Haiku, a traditional Japanese poetic form known for its brevity, suggests Claude 3 Haiku might excel at concise content generation, like summaries or creative prompts. On the other hand, Sonnets, known for their intricate structure and extended form, hint that Claude 3 Sonnet might be better suited for crafting longer, more complex pieces of writing.
Beyond New LLMs: A Streamlined Experience
The update brings several improvements beyond the new AI models. Here's a breakdown of some key changes:

• Onboarding and User Interface: Brave has streamlined the onboarding process with the addition of a Web Discovery Project card. The update also refreshes the overall look and feel of the browser with updated button colors and styles throughout the UI.
• Search Enhancements: Brave Leo now supports quick commands within the normal omnibox searches, potentially allowing for faster and more efficient information retrieval.
• Security and Privacy: Security remains a top priority for Brave. The update removes the "Automatic .onion redirect" feature and implements a new method for Brave Leo to rewrite content directly from context menu actions.
• Improved Brave Leo Messaging: Brave Leo now provides clearer messages when a webpage is too long for summarization.
• Bug Fixes: The update addresses a variety of bugs, including synchronization issues with Brave VPN on macOS after waking from sleep, inaccessibility of extension-generated blobs, and missing context menus for sidebar buttons. Additionally, the update fixes cross-engine exceptions in standard ad-blocking mode and resolves the bookmarks bar hover effect issue.

Overall, update 1.66.110 demonstrates Brave's commitment to user experience and innovation. The new LLMs in Brave Leo offer exciting possibilities for AI-powered assistance within the browser, while the bug fixes and interface improvements enhance overall stability and usability.

Right now, I'm working on creating the largest modlist I've ever made for my next playthrough. My previous playthrough had about 250 plugins. This next one is at about 500 so far. My last playthrough was incredibly unstable and janky because I gave little attention to detail when it came to compatibility patches. This time is going to be different. To ensure that I install everything in the proper order, I've resorted to using the Mermaid code language to generate a tree diagram of all my mods and their dependencies. Each tiny rectangle you see is a mod, and each line points to a dependency. At the very top you have mods like SKSE and Address Library. At the bottom you have patches for large overhauls. It's pretty much impossible to read this diagram unless you have a software that can zoom in by 6400%. I'm using Adobe Acrobat.
My plan is to start installing mods at the top row of the tree diagram and then work my way down row by row, one by one. There's going to be a lot of testing going into this, but I can't help but feel like the method is way too time-consuming and unecessary. What do you guys do?

Tense silence greeted Corellus Grarzia. Moments ago, he had stepped off the shuttle sent for him, and now he was standing in the entryway to the main conference room aboard USN Wisconsin. This meeting greatly reminded him of his first meeting after taking captainship of Olyvia. This time however, there were many more players. All but two of the Privateers were present, the latter being simply too deep into a mission, and too far away to make it in time. Both of the missing ships had completed their objectives, and were in transit, but waiting for them was simply not an option. Admiral Grarzia had arrived with Wisconsin and the rest of the Privateers inside of a week from Cory’s transmission, and Admiral stevens had arrived a week after that. Admiral fulmori had retained the USN Texas as his Flag, having grown fond of Captain Gleeson. Unity High Admiral Kawmarin was still currently flagged aboard USN Galveston and was currently using her superior speed to respond to race across unity space in an attempt to rally Unity forces.

Admiral Clint Stevens had arrived with a five-ship battle group. He was flagged aboard USN Tharsis and was escorted by USN Furlong, USN Iowa, a recently retrofitted and upgraded DDS Protectorate, and a newly commissioned Delmar Frigate. The DDS Stormhold was a hybrid vessel. She had been in the early stages of construction when Humanity and Delmar met for the first time, and she had been modified during construction to make use of the recent innovations born of the their budding alliance. She had but half the displacement of an Iowa Class, but she sported two thirds of the weight of fire by destructive potential. Stormhold had struck many human sailors as what a battleship class would have looked like if the Martians had decided to build the class during Humanity’s civil war. Stormhold carried but a pair of super firing Kinetic batteries in dorsal and ventral positions with a single pair of super firing batteries at her midships. Each turret in the battery only boasted a pair of barrels, and they fired the same 1005 projectile. Stormhold was armed to please however, and she carried twice the same number of PAC batteries as USN Tharsis, and she boasted a full-length central weapon that was very uniquely Delmar. The combined minds of the Brothers grem and their research counterparts in Sol had spent years researching and iterating on the Martian Particle Acceleration Cannon, and they had found something.

DDS Stormhold sported a single long low profile blister stretching the length of her ventral hull, set just to the left of centerline to make room for her kinetic batteries. No less than 6 PAC systems were arrayed in parallel, all feeding one focusing array of titanic size. Stormhold could fire up to all 6 at the array, varying the amount of destruction she wished to adjudicate upon her enemy. Bart had dubbed tis weapon the C-PAC, or “Compound Particle Acceleration Cannon”. The discovery however was not that combining Pac beams was doable. Mars had tried and failed to accomplish this. The discovery was how to make it efficient enough to create a viable weapon. This accomplished, something became abundantly clear from the initial testing…. A C-PAC did not scale linearly, but exponentially. A C-PAC could produce the same destructive energy as an Eros, but only within two hundred fifty thousand Kilometers. The rate of fire was still low, and firing all 6 feeder PACs at once was a cautious calculation, as the heat generated was still a problem, but early tests in a long dead system had seen the accidental cracking of the target planet’s crust. The reaction that followed destabilized the planet entirely and said star system was now one interstellar body lighter.

Stevens brought more than just a battle group, having appropriated four troop transports. Each transport carried a detachment of Marines, with the two MACE squads spread between them for heavy support. It was a small number, but they were to be on hand to evacuate any survivors they could. “Alright people, gather round. All of you have seen the brief by now, and I know all of you are ready for this to happen. Let’s not go in halfcocked” Several heads bobbed in acknowledgement and Stevens turned to spear Cory with a gaze, “For those who might not have met yet, this is Corellus Grarzia, Captain of the Privateer that uncovered this little honeypot of horrors. He’s been the closest to this thing the longest.” Stevens waves to Cory, “Captain?”

Cory stepped up and took a long breath, “The situation’s only gotten worse since my first transmission. The prison freighters and the frigates in orbit are just the beginning of the problem. We’ve since discovered camps on the surface of the planet, I’ve marked them in your updated files” Cory flicked his wrist over his data pad, propagating the information to everyone else’s pad and the table in the center of the room, “This is not just a torture camp, it is an indoctrination and training facility. The kissing of the hand is a surrender trigger of sorts. Kiss the hand, and the child is taken from hell, given food, and given a task. Usually something simple and innocuous, but it is rewarded. If a child accepts without instruction, and without question; they are sent to the surface where they are put into an intense indoctrination program.” Cory took a pause, watching the faces of the men and women in the room. Hard eyes and grim expressions waited for him to continue. “The children are eventually taken on hunts…. Hunts of other failed children and adults of their own species… and hunts of the locals… they are creating insurgents. We may and will encounter opposition made of child soldiers and operatives on the surface. We’ve also discovered a fast response system. Attacking one freighter at a time will trigger the destruction of the other freighters, and it appears that the Frigates in the system are in direct communication with someone outside the system every 20 minutes. That is all we know, at this time.”

Cory nodded to the admirals before stepping back from the table. Mac gave Cory a nod before taking a deep breath, “Thank you Captain. Alright people, no idea goes unspoken. No question goes unasked, we only have one shot at this. Let’s get to work.”

Warren’s eyes slowly fluttered open, aroused from his slumber by soft lips working their way up from the nape of his neck, “Hmm, Good morning.” He whispered as Jezz pulled herself atop him with a smile of her own. She kissed her way up his chin to his ear before responding, “Morning.” She coo’d back at him, her sultry tone lighting his senses on fire. Warren pulled her the rest of the way to his lips, kissing her gently just as his communicator chirped, “UUgghhhh!!” he groaned, breaking their kiss to open the channel, “L.T. Patterson here.” He stated, trying to keep his voice professional as Jezzaria’s lips began to wander again.
*Lieutenant, We’ve received word. The cargo transports finished loading earlier than anticipated. We will be departing in twenty minutes. Captain Yasushi has asked for your presence on the bridge.*

“Understood, I’ll be there… uh…. Momentarily.” Warren responded closing the channel, looking down at a smugly amused Jezzaria, “Jezz! Now how am I supposed to show up on the bridge with that…”

“Hmm” She mused coyly. “Probably shouldn’t, I better take care of that.” Warren never had a chance to respond.

Twenty minutes later, an only slightly breathless Warren arrived on the bridge, receiving a raised eyebrow from Excelsior’s Captain. “Cutting it rather close, Lieutenant?” Yasushi asked as he scanned the last of the information before departure.

Warren kept his face carefully neutral, “Unavoidable, Sir.” He said formally. “You asked to see me?”

“Yes, Is the Elerian delegation settled in?” Yasushi asked first. “We’ve done what we can to give them ample spaces on the ship attuned to their gravity, and signage to prevent accidents, but I’ve heard rumblings.”

“It not… the gravity sir… May we?” Warren responded carefully, nodding to the captain’s ready room. The two of them stepped into the more private setting, and Warren sat heavily into the chair opposite the desk.

Yasushi regarded the young officer with a studious gaze, “Talk to me son. I need to know if something is brewing during this voyage.”

Warren sighed inwardly. The delegation made up about a quarter of the surviving Elerian race, the Oldest of the Children saved from their planet. They had finished catching up in their education and updating on changes wrought while they were asleep. These Oldest had requested, and obviously granted, permission to travel to their home planet to participate in its recolonization. There was only one real problem with the situation. “Jezz wishes to continue to Delmar, but she is the defacto leader of her species. It is, chafing in some area’s.” Warren finally answered.

“Ah, I see.” Yasushi leaned back into his chair. “Has she told them that She is not staying?”

Warren shook his head, “No sir. She knows she has to stay. It’s just…. It’s just obvious that she hates the reality of the situation, that I must continue to Delmar. It does not help that Many of her people see our relationship as hurtful. They see us as narrowing the genetic pool from which they can recover.”

Yasushi’s eyes softened slightly in understanding, “Atticus’ research?”

“Almost complete sir, it’s all but certain that the Corth placed Elerian DNA in the Human genome. He believes that We could be the key to the genetic diversity needed to jumpstart their species, but… They don’t know that.” Warren sighed, “It’s all still heavily classified pending the conclusion. Her people don’t know what she has put herself through to ensure accurate data. They just see me as stealing their future, and her as a love struck girl playing at leadership.”

Yasushi nodded, bringing up the progress synopsis on his consol, “It appears that Atticus requires only one further ‘experiment’ before his conclusions can be reached. Do you know what that is?”

Warren shook his head, “Sorry, Sir. I don’t. We are to meet him in his onboard lab after lunch. He’s fastidious about records, I’m sure you will know by the time we leave his office.”

“Hmm,” Yasushi mused, taking a moment to review the update before closing it, “I know this is hard for you. You two have been thrust into quite a bit above your stage in life. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Dismissed, Lieutenant.”

Warren saluted crisply, following Yasushi out to the bridge just in time to watch the small convoy leap into slip space. His feet slowly guided him back to the quarters he shared with Jezz, feeling the shift in gravity as he passed into the Eleri safe parts of the ship. It would be a two month sail to the Elerian homeworld, and Warren was not looking forward to its conclusion. His thoughts were interrupted by raised voices, one of which he was intimately familiar with, coming from around the corner, and Warren accelerated his gate.

“You know we barely have the numbers to survive! Instead of doing your duty, you’re bedding that heavy worlder!” It was the oldest Elerian male, Bregan, flanked by two other Elerians. They had ambushed Jezz against the door to the quarters Warren and her shared.
“Back up Breg, I don’t care that your father was pappa’s top general. This is not the play you want to make right now. I am Warren’s, and that is not changing.” Jezz’s voice was stern, and she noticed Warren arrive around the corner. The smallest shake of her head kept him from barging in. Elerian female leaders were a prickly thing, and because He was not Eleri, she needed to do this on her own. They had talked about it, expecting something like this once the first complaints had been whispered. Jezz was still kicking herself for not spending more time with her people, but she had also been instrumental in the Gate project that promised to bind the galaxy more tightly than ever before.

Breg openly scoffed at Jezz, “A woman, ordering me around? Maybe Your precious Human will have an accident.” He sneered, blatantly reaching for Jezz’s wingtips, “Then maybe You’s search for a proper m… UGH!” Warren winced as he heard the tale tale cracking of bone. Jez had slapped away Bren’s outstretched hand before driving her fist into his side. She had underestimated her power, having lived for over a year in various gravities that exceed that of her homeworld, and Bren doubled over with eyes wide as he fell to a knee. He clutched his side, glaring at Jezzaria, “Bitch! I’ll have you brought up on charges! Let’s see your precious human get you out of an assault charges, with witnesses.” Bren sputtered, and his two friends nodded angrily.

“Go ahead, but I do not think you will be successful.” Jezz pointed up to the corner of the corridor opposite Warren, “All hallways are rigged for video and audio. Every threat you have made was logged in the ships computer the moment you puked it out of your pathetic mouth.” Warren had to stifle the chuckle that threatened to escape his lips at the pure vitriol in Jezz’s ton. “As for witnesses, you can come on over, hun.”

Warren put on severe expression, locking eyes with Bregan even as the young mans eyes bugged out of his head. “My husband has been watching for quite a while and would make an excellent witness.” Jezz’s smug expression nearly broke Warrens facade as he crossed his arms in front of the three.

“Hmm, threatening the murder of a Naval officer.. Attempted assault on a reigning monarch… Getting recorded doing so, not a good look.” Warren rumbled, and Breg spat at his feet.

“Fuck you.” Bren spat, “If you believe that to be true, why did you wait for your woman to fight instead of protecting her, coward.”

Warren openly laughed in the boy’s face, “you assume my woman needed saving from you. She’s soared on Luna and Conquered the gravity on Ceres.” Warren paused as a profoundly contemplative expression washed over the three boy’s faces, “What makes you think you were anything close to a threat to MY mate.” Warren growled the last part, making the miscreants take an involuntary step back, “Now get out of here. And get that rib checked out, I heard it break from over there.”

The three Elerian boys scrambled down the hallway, unable to flee on wing because of the narrow space. Warren waited for them to round the corner, and felt Jezz collapse into him almost instantly after. Warren quickly opened their door and pulled her in with him, “Hey, hey, hey. Shhhh” He soothed rubbing her down patch between the base of her wings. She melted into him, but continued shaking for a moment. “Their gone, it’s ok now.”

Jezz took a long shakey breath, “I… I don’t know what to do…. My people are so scared… and I can’t tell them that we need Humans to recover our numbers. I… I don’t know what to do…”

Warren kept rubbing her back, “I’ll have lunch brought here. Breg doesn’t need to see that he shook you.” And Jezz nodded, and a few minutes later a pair of cold cut sandwiches arrived. The two of them ate, Jezz curled up in Warren’s lap. Violence was not a natural decision for her, and it had been the first time she had struck anyone outside her occasional sparring with Warren. Warren partially blamed himself for her not knowing her own strength. He always allowed her to strike at him as hard as she could, knowing that she was incapable of hurting him with her bare hands, and she had gained enough speed and technique to occasionally get through his admittedly average hand to hand skills. He had still not taught her to shoot Kinetics. He worried that she would be simply too fragile to shatter bones should she get behind one of his pistols, or even his rimfire rifle.

They were just beginning to leave when a knock at the door interrupted their clean up. And Warren opened the door, his face a serious mask as he prepared to deal with more of the… “Atticus?” He asked as the Androgenous Corth stepped into their quarters. “I thought we were meeting you in your lab?”

“You are correct Warren. However, after word of Jezzaria’s little incident spread across the ship, I thought it best to have this conversation somewhere more comfortable.” Atticus stated in his usual analytical tone, waving to the seating in the pair’s living quarters. Warren raised an eyebrow and the uncharacteristic catering to circumstances from Atticus and settled onto one side of the queen bed in the corner. Their compartment was spacious considering Excelsiors size, but still lacked any major furnishing outside of the bed, a place for clothes and a chair for the desk which held the computer console. Jezz sat down next to him, and Atticus pulled the desk chair to face them.
“What’s this about Att.” Warren asked, picking up on the small tells that told him that Atticus was stalling.

Atticus flashed a smile to Warren before responding, “I’ve completed my research, at least, as much of it I can without more direct observation, and I am unwilling to ask that with so few Elerians left.” He began, holding up a hand to Jezz who was already opening her mouth to protest, “I have already found some remarkable discoveries regarding you. As you are probably aware, being able to adapt to Luna, and even Ceres should not be possible for your species” he continued looking a Jezz as he spoke, “None of your people, who tried anything like that before have succeeded.”

“But Atticus,” Jezz asked in confusion, “I’m fine… I’m better than fine. Warren and I spent a weekend on Luna to say goodbye to his parents. I don’t have to be tossed to fly there anymore.” Atticus raised an eyebrow and Warren nodded in confirmation.

Atticus seemed to freeze for just a split second, as if adding the information to something before his eyes focused on the two of them again, “I’m impressed, but not entirely surprised, Jezz. You’re ability to adapt has an explanation, I simply needed to prove my original findings from Ceres.” Atticus leaned forward slightly, “My dear, you are an anomaly because of your relationship with Warren. I’ve been told that I am too direct, so I will attempt to be… less so” Atticus gave Warren a semi sharp look as he snorted, but continued, “Both of you already know this first part. My people, many many eons ago, used the fledgling Human species as a library of genetic markers meant to be able to save those species and cultures wiped out by the Cataclysm. What I have learned is that Humanity took many of those genetic markers and evolved with them as their own. Almost nothing of what we added to Humanity’s genetic code is how we left it, but some of our library is still capable of interacting with the origin species. That is what has happened with you Jezz.”

Jezz looked shocked for a moment, but then returned to her confused expression, “But, we haven’t done any of those experiments yet. You told me they were too dangerous.” Warren rubbed her shoulders but said nothing, simply waiting for Atticus to explain himself.

Atticus nodded, “I did, and they are; but I failed to account for something that was already happening naturally. To put it… delicately… Your body has been naturally been exposed those same Genetic markers, including the Elerian ones, in significant quantities since you and Warren chose to become life mates. Because those genetic markers include a hormonal component to them, and because of the extra strain your body had been put through on luna and ceres; your body has reacted to them, using them as a template for survival. Your bone mass has tripled since you travelled to Ceres, and your Muscle mass and composition has dramatically changed as well.”

“But how… Oh..” Warren’s face reddened as his mind finally put the pieces together, and Jezz’s cheeks flushed a bright blue upon her own realization. “But that would mean…”

Atticus shook his head, “No, luckily being able to monitor Jezzaria’s health has led me to a much safer way to help jumpstart the Elerian species, but there is a catch… I believe that this level of artificial genetic hybridization can only be done during the embryonic stages of Elerian life to be 100 percent safe, but I wont know until I study a….. natural hybrid.” Jezz’s breath caught in her chest as her eyes widened but Atticus raised his hands quickly, “I cannot ask this… but I know you would be angry with me if I hid this fact from you. I know the two of you desire children, and I will not lie. It is still a great risk. I’ve learned that the two of you prefer to make your own decisions, so I want you to do so with the most recent information. I’ll leave everything here for you to review.” Leaving a data stick on the desk, Atticus stood. He began stepping toward the door as the stunned couple stayed where they were, “I’ll give you some space. I am sorry for the heaviness of my findings.” Atticus opened the door and stepped out.

So I switched my Android device yesterday and there was some issue with backup and restore so I had to login my whatsapp between the two devices back and forth and now I am unable to receive verification codes and even calls. What happens is

• I enter my number
• sending you a message
• you have tried requesting verification code too many times (even though it's first time today)
• I click on call verification
• we couldn't call your number please try again in 1 hour
• Same thing repeats after 1 hour

What I have tried doing, from previous posts

• Clearing data/ Reinstalling app, giving all permissions before first time launch
• turning off WiFi and using mobile data for verification
• Changing language to the region of my mobile number
• registering on Whatsapp for Business and back to Regular WP (WPfB gave me the same errors)
• Waiting 6+ hours for verification code
• Mailing Whatsapp so they reset my timeout (Auto generated replies so they're useless)

Another point (might be important?) is that I am still logged into companion mode (the QR login) in a home device

To lessen the inconveniences that were once an intrinsic part of the property registration procedure in India in 2024, the state government has devised new techniques for registering property. In other words, you are no longer required to walk around and visit government offices, where you will have to wait in long queues to register your property. The registration task can now be completed using online channels, which can be an expedient way of completing the house registry process and saves a significant amount of time.
Property Registry
The legal process is known as the property registry. This is done to generate or update the owner's name entry in the government database. The home registry process involves paperwork linked with properties filed with local authorities under Section 17 of Registration in 1908.
Is it mandatory to register the property?
Registering the brand-new property in your name is not an option. All buyers must register their property under Section 17 of the Registration Act. As the procedure advances, home buyers and property owners are obliged to pay the same amount of the deal value as the stamp duty to their state government, plus 1% of the registration fee.
In most states, home buyers must go to the sub-registrar's office to register their property. Some jurisdictions have developed a variety of services to assist landlords with the property registration procedure in order to provide time-saving and effective registration services. The owners of flats and plots can register online using the internet.
Owners and buyers should be aware that withholding registration to save money may cost them more money in the long run, and it is a risky action. Without registration under the owner's name in official records, the owner may be unable to show ownership of the property in any future deposits.
Online Property Registration
If you live in a state that offers offline property registration services, there are various elements to consider to help you complete the procedure.

• It's important to understand that only a portion of the process can be completed online.
  
• You'll be able to get the circular pricing in your area to determine the final property's worth.
  
• You will be able to pay the stamp duty and registration charge using a mobile device, and you will receive a receipt.
  
• It can help you compute stamp duty and learn about registration fees.
  
• You will need to schedule an appointment and visit the sub-registrar's office. You must visit the location at the allotted time.
  

Your appointment will be scheduled only when you have paid the applicable stamp duty and registration payments online. You will have to pay using a debit card, net banking, or credit card. Keep in mind that most states prefer and use online payments. Buyers may be able to pay with a check or cash in various areas of the state.
If the deal's worth exceeds 50 lakh rupees, the buyer is entitled to and must pay 1% of the TDS based on the property value. They will need to pay the amount online and print off their receipt. Ensure that you receive the receipt as required throughout the kind of verification.
Process of Online Property Registration
Several states provide websites for registering property online. For example, in Bangalore, you can access Kaveri internet services. To proceed with the process, you must first register as a user on these websites. You'll need to enter the following information:
Execution Date
Sale deed: Party number
Document registration
You will also need to provide the following:
Proof information for the purchasers and witnesses
Property value
Property nature
You will be required to provide the following documents during the registration of the property:
Identity evidence, such as PAN and Adhaar
Please include two passport photos of all parties involved, as well as authority power if one party is representing another.
Resolution copy, authorization letter, if a corporation is a party.
Property card
Payment acknowledgment for stamp duty
Registration Fee
Steps for Online Property Registration
Here is a list of the actions you must take for online property registration:
Step One: Application
To create a draft, you will need to fill in all the information required by the legislation on registration websites.
Step 2: Printing
Printing Draft printing on stamp paper with the signatures of all parties involved.
Step 3: Approval.
The online property registration websites will handle the office's inquiries and register the property with the appropriate authorities. Nonetheless, all party members must be present in the sub-registrar's office during the property registration. Visit https://legaldocs.co.in/property-registration to begin the online property registration process.
Documents You Should Carry
You will need to purchase the e-stamp papers and pay the stamp duty and registration fees online. You will need to present the documents to the office sub-registrar for verification.
The following is the information you will need to insert:
Property Description: Area, Pin Code, Number
Property types include agricultural, flat, and plot.
Modes of ownership include gift, lease, and gift.
Details about the owner, such as name, occupation, parents' names, etc.
Property proofs include attorney power and title deeds.
It is critical information to remember, and you should attempt to complete the process with the assistance of a lawyer and a property broker. It would be ideal if you never used a third party in the process.
Many states have portals to help people register their properties. These include information on model deeds and stamp duty rates, as well as instructions for parties to commence the registration process. However, to complete the property registration process, an individual must visit the sub-registrar's office.

Hi! I know there have been hundreds of posts about this but I feel like I've gone through every single one, and still have not found a solution.
I am trying to play the 'BetterMC 4' ModPack because it seems pretty starter friendly for someone who's never really gone past a texture pack modding-wise. I followed the instructions to install the pack and, as I'm sure you've guessed I got the Exit Code: 1 error.
Like I said, I've done everything (that my knowledge allows me to, which is only basic things) that the posts and threads have said to do and have still not come to a conclusion. I don't understand crash reports or anything like that- I'm basically an elderly person when it comes to things like this, just without the bad attitude and hate for the 'new generation and their complicated technology.'
Any and all help is welcomed! Thank you guys in advance.

Does your web app take too long to load? Slow transitions and loading screens can frustrate users and hurt your business. But don’t worry, there’s a powerful combination to make your Single-Page Applications (SPAs) super fast: MERN and Next.js.
What is MERN?
Imagine a well-oiled machine where each part works together perfectly. That’s MERN, a popular set of tools for web development:

• MongoDB: A flexible database that stores your app’s data, like product listings or user profiles.
• Express.js: A framework that makes building the backend of your app easier, handling tasks like user logins and data requests.
• React.js: A powerful library for creating user interfaces (UI) that are smooth and interactive.
• Node.js: The engine that runs JavaScript code outside the browser, powering both the backend and some Next.js features.

Why is MERN Fast?
MERN works together seamlessly. Data from MongoDB is quickly sent to the user's browser through the efficient Express.js backend. React uses that data to create the UI, making updates feel quick and responsive.
Next.js: The Turbocharger
Next.js is like a performance booster for React apps. It offers features like:

• Static Site Generation (SSG): Pre-renders certain pages at build time, making them load instantly for users.
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Renders pages on the server for better SEO and faster initial load times.

The MERN + Next.js Advantage
By combining MERN’s efficient data handling and React’s smooth UIs with Next.js’s speed-boosting features, you can create SPAs that feel incredibly fast and responsive. This keeps users happy and coming back for more!
Is MERN & Next.js Right for You?
If you want to build a modern, fast, and scalable SPA, MERN with Next.js is a great choice. This powerful combination helps you deliver a fantastic user experience.

I mainly use Gemini for creative stuff. It will randomly decide a prompt should be solved with python code with no input directing that decision, giving me a "Show the code behind this result" option and writing some stupid code such as print("Your father looks up, a flicker of pain crossing his features. ")
Messages where this happens are very low quality because it limits itself to whatever was written inside the code. Is there any way to permanently disable this type of code generation?
