I'm actually wondering if there are translation errors in The Ninth Virtue anecdote that was released on the global server recently.

For context: I don't know Chinese language at all. That's why everything I say here might be questioned.

While reading the story, I noticed several strange things about the transfer of names. Firstly, I think that “Oder”, as it was written in the game, is somewhat incorrect, and it would be more correct to write it as at least “Aude” for she, according to epic story, was the wife of Roland and the sister of Olivier.

Secondly, in the A Burg of Quips there was a phrase “knight of Astorford”. I found it quite strange, and Google found nothing about that, which was more strange, because before such details in the story seems to be tied close with middle age European epics.

I found the name Astolfo written in Chinese characters: 阿斯托爾福

Then I switched the language of the game to Chinese, found the moment where it was mentioned, and asked my friends who know Chinese well if it was written about Astolfo. They confirmed it yes.

Thirdly, there are might be similar errors in the name of Ferragus (also known as Ferragut, Ferracutus, Ferracute, Ferrakut, Ferraguto, Ferraù, Fernagu), but it was written as “Felgert” (in the Thorny Is the Way and So Concludeth the Epistle parts). Now I've been struggling with the name “Berguin” (from the So Concludeth the Epistle) all day, and can't find an epic prototype. Of course, it may turn out that this character was not based on any existing epic character, but I don't believe that yet.

technically, christine exists in the kelvin timeline. we get a few mentions of her. but... i don't like or agree with them, so i'm going to pretend we're starting from scratch here. i quickly explained in here that the way i write christine is a direct rejection of the way aos presented her.

in summary, christine is someone that people don't easily forget. that people don't want to forget. she is magnetic, full of live and so vibrant, she tends to leave a mark in people's lives. by being their friend, their confidante, the person who made them laugh when everything felt hard. she is everyone's friend, she is on their corner, no matter what.

usually, for this verse, she attends starfleet academy instead of going to college and living as a civilian. this can change depending on plotting, as i'm fond of the spin snw gave her and how it shapes her outlook in life, but i like the idea of her going to the academy with everyone else and it provides an interesting twist.

christine graduates from the academy one year ahead of kirk and bones, and is stationed for one year at the uss ferragut, and she is transferred to the enterprise shortly after the first movie ends.

she is present for all events during the other two movies, specific events which she was a part of will depend on plotting as i don't want to assume things. in general, she is usually found on sickbay or in one of the science labs. in a pinch, she makes a very good blue shirt.

actually, i lied, one thing i'm going to adopt from the movies: she is friends with carol marcus, because why not? they are besties in this universe. however, as they both have the same hairstyle, i've decided to play around with christine's hair a little bit in this verse.

first picture. her look during starfleet academy + during the time of the first movie. second picture. her look during into darkness, a good contrast to carol's style. third picture. her look during beyond and post canon. she'll eventually go back to her look during the second movie, which is the one she tends to favor later in life. a more detailed look about her hair in this verse can be found here.

some extra tidbits that i wanted to share:

christine also favors the white jumpsuit look in this universe;

roger kirby was a professor at the vulcan science academy. he and christine were together, but not engaged yet. he died when vulcan was destroyed;

she has her masters in genetics by the first movie. by the end of the third, she's got a DNP advanced practice and a PhD in the philosophy of nursing ( dual degree );

as she went to starfleet academy, and did a full cadet rotation, she eventually (in her mid-thirties) switches to the command-track.

Revolución Industrial - Arquitetura - Materiales

La revolución industrial nace con los combustibles fósiles.

Los materiales modernos de la arquitectura actual parten de la revolución industrial, por lo que parten de los combustibles fósiles.

Hasta que la industria de los materiales no se adapten a las nuevas directrices medioambientales (sin dependencia de los combustibles fósiles) Que podemos hacer?

Los materiales tradicionales eran usados y producidos antes de la revolución industrial, por lo que no son dependientes de los combustibles fósiles. La huella de carbono de ellos es muchísimo inferior.

Además, los materiales artesanales y tradicionales están en extinción, por lo que no fomentarlos o dirigir hacia ellos nuestros recursos los llevarían al cierre con la consecutiva pérdida del conocimiento tradicional.

One Week, 7 Major Foundation Model Releases

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/one-week-7-major-foundation-model-releases/

One Week, 7 Major Foundation Model Releases

Apple, HuggingFace, OpenAI, Mistral, Groq all released innovative models in the same week.

Created Using DALL-E

Next Week in The Sequence:

Edge 415: Our series about autonomous agents dives into procedural memory. We review Microsoft’s JARVIS-1 memory-augmented agent adn dive into the Zep framework for memory management in LLMs.

Edge 416: We deep dive into Apple’s amanzing 4M-21 multimodal model.

📝 Editorial: What a Week for Foundation Models

Building high-quality, large-scale foundation models is hard. Just a year ago, it seemed that the foundation model space was going to be highly fragmented, with new models coming to market literally every week. After the high computational and capital realities became obvious, the space seems to have consolidated into a dozen or so relevant models per modality, with a few more in the language space. At the moment, two trends seem to be emerging to catalyze the next generation of foundation models:

Domain Specialization: Models more specialized in horizontal domains such as coding, function calling, math, etc.

Small Models: 500M-10B parameter models that can run inference on commodity hardware, IoT, or mobile devices.

Last week was exceptional in terms of model releases in these areas. Just to list a few:

Mistral released two new models covering areas such as math and coding.

Mistral and NVIDIA also released a new small model optimized for enterprise environments.

OpenAI unveiled a smaller, cheaper version of its flagship GPT-4 model.

Apple open sourced a series of small models that outperform Mistral-7B.

Groq open-sourced a series of 7B models that seem best in class in function calling.

HuggingFace open-sourced a series of small, high-performance LLMs.

As you can see, the releases emphasize the domain specialization and small model trends. Even by the crazy standards of the generative AI market, last week was a remarkable week in terms of model releases.

Mythic Creatures by Culture & Region

Part 6: Medieval Europe

Global list & overview here.

This list still needs revising, because I didn't distinguish French, German, Italian and Spanish folklore (Catalan folklore is independent, because I support Catalonian independence haha). Some European folklore has already been listed in part 3 and 4 and 5 or will be listed in future in connection with religious culture.
