Alright, update on the tablet situation, I do NOT have good news but there are some silver linings.

First off, thank you all so much for your patience. That one week I took off to relax seemed to be an invitation for the universe to fuck with my shit because my tablet literally chose the worst time to get on my nerves ( This is totally not something I'm gonna bring up with my therapist as proof that I'm not allowed to rest /s) I've tried just about everything to get it working again, I got a replacement 3-in-1 cable and even that didn't do anything, so I've ordered in a new pen, but that's not due to show up for another week or two.

However, I do not want to wait a week or two on the off chance that a new pen even solves the problem.

So the GOOD NEWS in all this is that I do still have my iPad. It wasn't setup with Clip Studio Paint because I own a perpetual license for my PC, but seeing as how now I can't use it on my PC (at least not with my tablet pen) I've gone ahead and setup the mobile version on my tablet, thankfully I got a discount because I already own a perpetual license but it's still gonna cost me $10/month so that's yet another subscription to slap on the 'ole credit card.

Now that does mean I have to go through the painstaking efforts of moving everything from my PC onto my tablet, but thankfully that issue is easily solved with cloud backups and transferring. Really all I need to be able to do is draw, I can still do speech bubbles and text input and texture overlays and all that post-production stuff on my PC, but anything that requires actual drawing I'm gonna be using my iPad for. So please, don't mind if you notice some weird little art differences between Episode 30 and 29, I'm adjusting to a new workflow! It shouldn't be too bad because I'll still be using the exact same brushes and textures and all that fun stuff that I do on my PC, it just comes with the adjustment of drawing primarily on iPad, which I don't normally do (I usually only draw on my iPad for tattooing and that's in Procreate which I still suck at using outside of lineart LMAO)

This is a very stressful situation that I'm hoping will only be temporary until I get that new tablet pen, and if THAT doesn't solve the issue, then I'm gonna have to start shopping for a new tablet entirely, and that's not something I can do immediately because I'm already starting to struggle financially due to the slow season creeping in at work and I'm still paying off that new PC I put down on layaway (which I'm regretting already). All that said, if you want to help a pal out, please consider tossing a dollar or two at me on my Ko-Fi, it's all gonna go towards a new drawing tablet if I need it (and if the pen solves the issue, then you'll be helping me stay afloat so I can keep bringing you guys the good shit LOL)

What's wild is that in all my Google searching, I found a thread from two months ago with literally the EXACT same issue, under the exact same conditions, in which OP's tablet pen unexpectedly stopped registering with their Huion Kamvas 22 Plus that they had owned for two years. According to them, it did start working again, after resetting the PC and re-installing the driver over and over again, but I've already done that myself a ton of times and I'm tired of being let down and that doesn't seem like a "real" solution beyond luck, so I'm gonna take a break from doing that while I get my iPad set up. I have the sneaking suspicion this might have to do with some recent Windows updates that just rolled out, my PC had definitely gone through a couple leading up to the malfunction. This wouldn't be the first time Microsoft has fucked with my tablet functionality so I literally wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that. Either that, or the '2' in Kamvas 22 stands for "will only last for 2 years before stopping entirely" LOL

Anyways, that's all for now. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding through all this. While I don't want to have to reduce the quality or frequency of what I put out for you guys due to technical issues, I also don't want the comic to stop entirely, so if this turns into one of those desperate situations where I'm delivering you guys episodes of Rekindled drawn on a Nintendo DS, so be it. I'm not gonna let this beat me.

hi magz! I was wondering if you have any resources for free aac programs for android devices? even just an apk download would be fine, but my speech has been getting worse and worse due to seizures/neurological activity and I feel the need to be prepared. thank you so much (for everything you do!)

would recommend have more than 1 of try in case.

Also check notice pattern what other aspect language n speak have issue, so can choose app good !

(example issue: relation words to each other. remember what words. assign words and pictures.)

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps available Android device, here ....

text-based aac:

Spoken AAC ("less" feature in free version.)

have multiple decent basic voice in-built and text prediction. option for dark mode + large text (only 2 setting tho) + only speak sentence when finish or speak while select. symbol next to word look minimal symbol. It need email for account, but that all really.

Look To Speak

Google app, where select pre-written phrase with eyesight detection, n it read it out. pre-select phrase can be edit n added.

Just "Text-to-speech" :

Both lil bit wonky n rely on phone TTS voice. Both very simple, which strength n weakness. Are on F-droid App.

eSpeak.

TTS-util.

symbol-based AAC:

Coughdrop AAC (2 month trial)

classic-style symbol AAC, but with cloud and open source. Design kinda outdated, but alas.

Leeloo AAC (free version basic feature. but 3 day for premium trial)

symbol AAC with category type, modern-style design n more settings. Is intend for kids n is noticeable, n there multiple feature behind pay wall. Is however, decent for presets use, when not have energy / ability make own full sentence spontaneous. It have bit issue with big font setting though (default magz phone setting for visual aid)

AAC Cboard (mainly base on free iirc)

more streamline classic-style symbol AAC. Require CBoard account.

Big Text Communication:

Large Text: Banner Creator (better than "Make it big" app that have so many ads n intrusive) - make big text so other people can see. (can also make into image

Deaf Note

- type out message n will appear upside down if person at other side. have text-to-speech feature (what you "say"), and speech-to-text feature (what other person "say")

Different quality n different use case. Hope work for you.

Am bit difficult communicate this n make list.

Romi conversation AI robot, Mixi, Japan (2021). "Romi is a specialized conversation robot that fits snugly in the palm of your hand. Differing from conventional robots equipped with fixed responses, Romi utilizes our cutting-edge proprietary communication AI to keep conversations going, meaning that you can speak to Romi just like a real human. We developed Romi to provide comfort like a pet and understanding like a family member. Possessing a rich range of emotional expression, Romi can share your happiness, sadness, and anger. Romi is sure to brighten your life with over 100 facial expressions and movement patterns and help you bring out the best of every day with over 100 functions such as alarms and reminders." – Providing space and opportunity for communication with Romi, Mixi.

"First, when a person speaks to Romi, Romi converts the voice data into string data via the Google Cloud Speech API. When this string data is sent to the conversation server, the server constructs the answer as text data and returns it to Romi. Finally, Romi uses text-to-speech to convert text into speech and respond to people. Romi uses generative AI in its conversation server to construct answers to people. However, the generative AI model used by Romi is "in a different direction of development'' from models such as GPT-4 … [where] hallucination becomes a major issue. On the other hand, Shinoda's managers tuned Romi based on the idea that even if there were some mistakes, 'as long as it's fun to talk about and the users laugh, that's fine.' This is one of the reasons why we used Stable LM as the base model for our original AI." – an interview with Harumi Shinoda, Vantage Studio Romi Division Development Group Manager, MIXI's conversation robot "Romi" that heals people, AI tuning that emphasizes fun over accuracy.

Google’s Multimodal AI Gemini – A Technical Deep Dive

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/googles-multimodal-ai-gemini-a-technical-deep-dive/

Google’s Multimodal AI Gemini – A Technical Deep Dive

Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, along with Demis Hassabis from Google DeepMind, have introduced Gemini in December 2023. This new large language model is integrated across Google’s vast array of products, offering improvements that ripple through services and tools used by millions.

Gemini, Google’s advanced multimodal AI, is birthed from the collaborative efforts of the unified DeepMind and Brain AI labs. Gemini stands on the shoulders of its predecessors, promising to deliver a more interconnected and intelligent suite of applications.

The announcement of Google Gemini, nestled closely after the debut of Bard, Duet AI, and the PaLM 2 LLM, marks a clear intention from Google to not only compete but lead in the AI revolution.

Contrary to any notions of an AI winter, the launch of Gemini suggests a thriving AI spring, teeming with potential and growth. As we reflect on a year since the emergence of ChatGPT, which itself was a groundbreaking moment for AI, Google’s move indicates that the industry’s expansion is far from over; in fact, it may just be picking up pace.

What is Gemini?

Google’s Gemini model is capable of processing diverse data types such as text, images, audio, and video. It comes in three versions—Ultra, Pro, and Nano—each tailored for specific applications, from complex reasoning to on-device use. Ultra excels in multifaceted tasks and will be available on Bard Advanced, while Pro offers a balance of performance and resource efficiency, already integrated into Bard for text prompts. Nano, optimized for on-device deployment, comes in two sizes and features hardware optimizations like 4-bit quantization for offline use in devices like the Pixel 8 Pro.

Gemini’s architecture is unique in its native multimodal output capability, using discrete image tokens for image generation and integrating audio features from the Universal Speech Model for nuanced audio understanding. Its ability to handle video data as sequential images, interweaved with text or audio inputs, exemplifies its multimodal prowess.

Gemini supports sequences of text, image, audio, and video as inputs

Accessing Gemini

Gemini 1.0 is rolling out across Google’s ecosystem, including Bard, which now benefits from the refined capabilities of Gemini Pro. Google has also integrated Gemini into its Search, Ads, and Duet services, enhancing user experience with faster, more accurate responses.

For those keen on harnessing the capabilities of Gemini, Google AI Studio and Google Cloud Vertex offer access to Gemini Pro, with the latter providing greater customization and security features.

To experience the enhanced capabilities of Bard powered by Gemini Pro, users can take the following straightforward steps:

Navigate to Bard: Open your preferred web browser and go to the Bard website.

Secure Login: Access the service by signing in with your Google account, assuring a seamless and secure experience.

Interactive Chat: You can now use Bard, where Gemini Pro’s advanced features can be opted.

Power of Multimodality:

At its core, Gemini utilizes a transformer-based architecture, similar to those employed in successful NLP models like GPT-3. However, Gemini’s uniqueness lies in its ability to process and integrate information from multiple modalities, including text, images, and code. This is achieved through a novel technique called cross-modal attention, which allows the model to learn relationships and dependencies between different types of data.

Here’s a breakdown of Gemini’s key components:

Multimodal Encoder: This module processes the input data from each modality (e.g., text, image) independently, extracting relevant features and generating individual representations.

Cross-modal Attention Network: This network is the heart of Gemini. It allows the model to learn relationships and dependencies between the different representations, enabling them to “talk” to each other and enrich their understanding.

Multimodal Decoder: This module utilizes the enriched representations generated by the cross-modal attention network to perform various tasks, such as image captioning, text-to-image generation, and code generation.

Gemini model isn’t just about understanding text or images—it’s about integrating different kinds of information in a way that’s much closer to how we, as humans, perceive the world. For instance, Gemini can look at a sequence of images and determine the logical or spatial order of objects within them. It can also analyze the design features of objects to make judgments, such as which of two cars has a more aerodynamic shape.

But Gemini’s talents go beyond just visual understanding. It can turn a set of instructions into code, creating practical tools like a countdown timer that not only functions as directed but also includes creative elements, such as motivational emojis, to enhance user interaction. This indicates an ability to handle tasks that require a blend of creativity and functionality—skills that are often considered distinctly human.

Gemini’s capabilities : Spatial Reasoning (Source)

Gemini’s capabilities extend to executing programming tasks(Source)

Gemini sophisticated design is based on a rich history of neural network research and leverages Google’s cutting-edge TPU technology for training. Gemini Ultra, in particular, has set new benchmarks in various AI domains, showcasing remarkable performance lifts in multimodal reasoning tasks.

With its ability to parse through and understand complex data, Gemini offers solutions for real-world applications, especially in education. It can analyze and correct solutions to problems, like in physics, by understanding handwritten notes and providing accurate mathematical typesetting. Such capabilities suggest a future where AI assists in educational settings, offering students and educators advanced tools for learning and problem-solving.

Gemini’s has been leveraged to create agents like AlphaCode 2, which excels at competitive programming problems. This showcases Gemini’s potential to act as a generalist AI, capable of handling complex, multi-step problems.

Gemini Nano brings the power of AI to everyday devices, maintaining impressive abilities in tasks like summarization and reading comprehension, as well as coding and STEM-related challenges. These smaller models are fine-tuned to offer high-quality AI functionalities on lower-memory devices, making advanced AI more accessible than ever.

The development of Gemini involved innovations in training algorithms and infrastructure, using Google’s latest TPUs. This allowed for efficient scaling and robust training processes, ensuring that even the smallest models deliver exceptional performance.

The training dataset for Gemini is as diverse as its capabilities, including web documents, books, code, images, audio, and videos. This multimodal and multilingual dataset ensures that Gemini models can understand and process a wide variety of content types effectively.

Gemini and GPT-4

Despite the emergence of other models, the question on everyone’s mind is how Google’s Gemini stacks up against OpenAI’s GPT-4, the industry’s benchmark for new LLMs. Google’s data suggest that while GPT-4 may excel in commonsense reasoning tasks, Gemini Ultra has the upper hand in almost every other area.

Gemini VS GPT-4

The above benchmarking table shows the impressive performance of Google’s Gemini AI across a variety of tasks. Notably, Gemini Ultra has achieved remarkable results in the MMLU benchmark with 90.04% accuracy, indicating its superior understanding in multiple-choice questions across 57 subjects.

In the GSM8K, which assesses grade-school math questions, Gemini Ultra scores 94.4%, showcasing its advanced arithmetic processing skills. In coding benchmarks, with Gemini Ultra attaining a score of 74.4% in the HumanEval for Python code generation, indicating its strong programming language comprehension.

The DROP benchmark, which tests reading comprehension, sees Gemini Ultra again leading with an 82.4% score. Meanwhile, in a common-sense reasoning test, HellaSwag, Gemini Ultra performs admirably, though it does not surpass the extremely high benchmark set by GPT-4.

Conclusion

Gemini’s unique architecture, powered by Google’s cutting-edge technology, positions it as a formidable player in the AI arena, challenging existing benchmarks set by models like GPT-4. Its versions—Ultra, Pro, and Nano—each cater to specific needs, from complex reasoning tasks to efficient on-device applications, showcasing Google’s commitment to making advanced AI accessible across various platforms and devices.

The integration of Gemini into Google’s ecosystem, from Bard to Google Cloud Vertex, highlights its potential to enhance user experiences across a spectrum of services. It promises not only to refine existing applications but also to open new avenues for AI-driven solutions, whether in personalized assistance, creative endeavors, or business analytics.

As we look ahead, the continuous advancements in AI models like Gemini underscore the importance of ongoing research and development. The challenges of training such sophisticated models and ensuring their ethical and responsible use remain at the forefront of discussion.

I'm just here to pop in to say I love your writing. You've got such a unique touch and personality in the text and you post very often, I'm just in awe. I'm a writer myself and wonder if you use some form of text to speech program to listen to your texts (I do, personally I find it really laborious to read my texts again and again so I just listen to them for a change. It has helped me a lot.) I use this Text to Speech thing from Google Cloud and feed it some 400 word snippets to read aloud lol

Ahaha, I feel like I don't post that often... But I appreciate your kind message, and I'm glad you enjoy my fics.

I don't use much text to speech. It's completely different, but sometimes I find listening to podfics gives me a different interpretation of a fic that I hadn't considered. Maybe that's part of why listening to something instead of reading it is good, too.

5 Ways to keep your customers engaged

Engaging with your customers might be a minuscule task for your business; but for your valuable customers, it matters. This is how customers are going to feel connected with your business, and feel positive about the same.

Customer engagement is one of the most effective ways to make your customers feel important and strung-out to your brand. This relatively creates a way more efficient and strong relationship for you. Its your responsibility as a brand to keep your customer hooked with fascinating customer engagement ideas.

Let us get started with a few achievable strategies to boost your brand customer loyalty.

Show your customers the authenticity of your brand identity. This aid in your business credibility.

Adding that tint of brand authenticity could instantly speak volumes about your reliability. With all the spam calls that individuals have been receiving. India’s ranked 4th in the world for receiving the maximum number of spam calls. This has caused a huge crack spot between the customer and authentic businesses. Customers are very suspicious and hesitant to answer such business calls worried that any or all of them might be spam.

Using a verified caller ID solution and Google-verified SMS to communicate with customers will bring about the trust factor for your business. This steers you clear of any of the former mentioned precarious situations.

Ensuring customer satisfaction even with remotely working teams

The post-pandemic era has taught us a great deal about remote working. Remote working has kept our work moving during the lockdown, and that’s when we discovered how productive and efficient hybrid working can be. Most organisations experienced a significant rise in productivity and of course an enhanced customer service experience. This was a tremendous perk as all this was initiated just when we thought our work might have to come to a halt, but instead, we somehow managed to have uncompromised continuity, all credit to the lingering concept of working from home.

This is an added advantage for those on plans of expansion and working with distributed teams. Businesses could rely on remote working with cloud communication platforms. Cloud-based business communication is as we speak, getting back the confidence people place in brand-customer interactions. This has come to our aid in various areas such as video calls, VoIP conferences, mobile app connectivity, Live calls, Project management, and file-sharing capabilities.

We should equip our remote working team with scalable, customizable virtual solutions that support our hybrid workforce's efficient working.

Adoption of Conversational AI

It's nearly impossible for your support team to attend to each query that they come across.

Conversational AI comes in handy at such tricky yet pivotal times. This is the very reason why organizations are indulging in its use, especially in the past two years. And far from the chatbot that seems scripted, AI-based bots use the potency of multiple revolutionary technologies such as

Natural Language processing

Intent Recognition

Machine Learning

Text -to- Speech and a lot more

Unified Channel Experience

The use of a single interface empowers any digital channel, all your Emails, SMS, WhatsApp texts, chats etc can now be available in a single place. As it sounds, it is quite a time and cost-effective. At the end of the day, customers enjoy a trouble-free experience.

Cloud-based platforms

The pandemic has brought about a drastic change in the functioning of each organization. So cloud services are the trend ever since the pandemic happened and are a fantastic way to boost your customer engagement.

Performance Analysis

It is inevitable in the present era to measure your customer satisfaction. Apart from customer satisfaction, you could also chart and analyze your team's performance. By measuring the two, you could clearly understand what is working for you and what areas you need to improve.

Personalized Content And Customizations

Last but not least, customized services and personalized communication is a never failing merit. This works wonders when backed with relevant information, especially well in a saturated market. This shows your customer’s that you value each of them and that you are treating them individually well enough. Different customers demand different services, and the relevance of services might differ for each customer.

In case you are baffled by any such issues, Voxbay Solutions is your one-stop solution.

So say yes to a hassle-free customer experience.

(Bury the Light by Casey Edwards; It’s Jay’s new theme song)

Amount of Sleep: 8 hours maybe (I’m self employed with a bad work ethic, yes I’m very self conscious about it 🥲)

Dream Job: I think I already have my dream jobs (making art and growing veggies), I only wish that I could have a more stable income from both so I can be financially independent. But I am thinking about branching out to make my own TTRPGs so maybe that’s my next dream

Wearing: Just a T-Shirt (did I mention I work from home?)

Movies/Books that Summarize You: This one is hard, I don’t really watch movies or read as often as I should so instead I’ll reccoment some Youtube channels that I represent my persona: *Bruva Alfabusa (Check out ‘If the Emperor Had a Text to Speech Device’ and ‘Hunter: The Parenting’, exceptional content) *Max0r (You might go insane from hyper-brain rot but my adhd meme goblin brain loves it, especially his incorrect summaries of games)

Favorite Song: “The Love Shack” by The B-52′s (”If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says 15 Miles to the LOVE SHACK”)

Instrument: I learned guitar for a little while, lost interest. Bought a kalimba last year, lost interest. One day I’ll back to them

Aesthetic: Cave dwelling goblin

Favorite Author: Currently my fav book series is Red Rising by Pierce Brown. I love the characters so much, I just want them to be happy and grow old together with their kids instead of suffering through war...

Random Fun Fact: I’m surprisingly very good at reading people. I’ve actually prophesied people’s actions and been right so often that I now realize I shouldn’t have went to art school, I should have done psychology instead

Weird Questions for Writers: 22 & 25

How organized are you with your writing? Describe to me your organization method, if it exists. What tools do you use? Notebooks? Binders? Apps? The Cloud?

Organized? Ahaha...haha...ha... Okay but seriously, I'm scattered as all hell. I have notebooks, various apps, including Scrivener, Dabble, Notion as well as stuff in my email, bookmarks saved with prompts to do, notes saved in my browser...I think you get the idea.

Lets see if I can break this down though:

Ideas and pre-drafting: Bookmarks, post-its, Vivaldi notes, email drafts, likes, Notepad

Drafting and revising: Scrivener, Dabble, Vivaldi notes, Notepad, Open Office, GDocs, text to speech software (rn, I'm using Speak Aloud which is a chrome extension but I want to look into others like Naturally Speaking)

General focus and tracking stuff: Focusmate (on and off), pomodoro sprints using various Discord bots, Google Sheets for keeping track of word counts, sprint times, and submission possibilities/tracking submitted pieces, the Submission Grinder (finding subs to put in the spreadsheet), Pacemaker (another way to keep track of wordcount)

What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story?

Mr. Death crew:

Dora: Uses chocolate chips as rewards for when she's feeling like she can't focus. For every ten minutes of writing/studying/stuff like taht, she lets herself have as many chocolate chips.

Evan: Writes fanfic. It was how they realized they were queer and nonbinary, found friends, and realized there was stuff to be had outside of their abusive family.

Rainbow crew:

Dahl: While she's taken on several different faces and shapes over the many years she's been alive, she has found she gravitates toward femme presenting stuff just because she likes the variety of textures.

Kealan: While he loves tending to Lore and the building itself, he also sometimes just needs someone, anyone, but especially Lore, to tell him to self care. Particularly by taking a long shower while playing music and singing along.

Chat GPT's Response:

Customer preferences for machine translation tools can vary depending on various factors such as their specific industry, language pairs, and quality expectations. However, some machine translation tools have gained popularity and trust in the industry due to their reliability and performance. Some of these commonly preferred machine translation tools include:

Google Translate: Google Translate is widely used and recognized for its broad language coverage and continuous improvement in quality, especially for common language pairs.

DeepL: DeepL is known for its high-quality translations, particularly in European languages, and is often favored for its accuracy and natural-sounding output.

Microsoft Translator: Microsoft Translator offers a range of features including text translation, speech translation, and image translation, making it a versatile option for various translation needs.

SDL Language Cloud: SDL Language Cloud provides machine translation services with options for customization and integration with other translation tools, making it appealing for businesses with specific requirements.

Amazon Translate: Amazon Translate is part of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and offers scalable and reliable machine translation services with support for a wide range of language pairs.

When customers request quotes from Language Service Providers (LSPs), they may specify their preferred machine translation tool based on their prior experience, industry standards, or specific project requirements. Some customers may also rely on the expertise of the LSP to recommend the most suitable machine translation tool based on factors such as language pair, domain expertise, and desired level of quality. Ultimately, the choice of machine translation tool may vary from one customer to another, and LSPs should be flexible in accommodating the preferences and needs of their clients.
