most of them are still in development or have failed when the nft market crashed
tulip bison
ESO is like a job you pay for.
ye it kinda sucks, because I believe I had to buy eso, and then pay a subscription to play
now you can technically play it for free I believe ,but from what I remember the inventory space was soo limited you spent more time with inventory management than playing
tulip bison
could be getting mixed up, but afaik you could play it free with no sub but the experience was too poor to consider that

well let's face it. It's Skyrim online with more complicated button spam that needs 10 fingers to use whilst you move around. Which makes it a bad game in my experience. It wants to be an MMO and FPS/TPS but doesn't have the right control system for me.
im sure its fine if you have a mouse with extra buttons tho

the last people I worked for made a small fortune from selling quality artwork, and it was really good quality. They made a kind of IP along with it and tried to build a game, but the NFT market crashed and the influx of money dried up so it died.
it does something to people who want it. If you don't want it, it's useless.
some people buy artwork that costs millions and put it on a wall to look at it. It's not different. There is a feeling people get around exclusive ownership rights. To me, it's useless because I can screenshot that shit and it's the same to me. But if people like that fair play.
I was just interested in the money tbh ๐

not to rain on your parade but by buying an NFT you do not own the rights to the image. you might own the rights to a hyperlink that links to an image hosted on a good old web 2 (shreeks) server. once that server shuts down (or hosts another image in its place - something which hilariously happened a bunch with nfts) "your" image is gone. unless you right clicked and saved it. oh wait ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

fleet tangle
Byte pair encoding tokenizer training
...training?
Are you trying to train an AI to tokenise? ๐
broken sigil
...training?
Yeah you train a subword tokenizer (in this case BPE) by giving it a whole bunch of text data to process
It basically merges the most common token pair in each iteration and you end up with a tokenizer that uses less tokens for more common words and more tokens for less common words
fleet tangle
Ah ha.
broken sigil
so something like "Testing" might be separated into 2 tokens, "Test" and "ing"
broken sigil
basically yeah
BPE is a compression alghorithm usually but here it's applied to a tokenizer and text
fleet tangle
Why, though?
broken sigil
for ML tasks I'm gonna use it for later
broken sigil
I hope so too ๐
broken sigil
Fair enough. ๐
OpenAI has a demo of their subword tokenizer and this is pretty much it
They might have API for it, not sure
I think you can get their tokenizer in python
I ended up writing mine from scratch, it isn't that complicated either
fleet tangle
Is it tokenising the spaces?
broken sigil
Is it tokenising the spaces?
some do some don't, depends on the tokenizer
Yeah the API doesn't record the history for you
It's on you to implement it
You could go the approach of storing messages and adding them in the API call or what I did for Deja which is having a whole dedicated memory system that fetches relevant memories and adds it to the prompt basically
Storing messages and adding them is simple but you will be paying the extra api cost and you need to fit it in the models context window
