    Godot Release Godot 4.4 Dev 6
    Godot Release Godot 4.4 Dev 6 / Uncategorized / December 10, 2024 There is a new development release of the open-source Godot game engine, Godot 4.4 Dev 6. We took an early look at Godot 4.4 dev1 and dev2, then more recently followed up with a look at the Godot 4.4 dev3, dev4 and dev5 releases. As timing always goes, shortly after that coverage Godot 4.4 dev6 was released. I wouldnt normally cover a single dev release, however this one has a feature I have longed for basically since I started using the Godot game engine, a much-improved camera preview.This is a feature that has been missing for a very long time, in fact I made a post about Godot The Missing Piece where I described an excellent add-on that fixed this flaw, the Godot Little Camera Addon. Thankfully with the upcoming release of Godot 4.4, we will no longer need add-ons to correct this missing functionality.Details from the Godot 4.4 dev 6 blog:Camera3D preview in inspectorPreviously, adjusting the view of aCamera3Din a scene could be a chore to handle. It required activating the camera you wanted to preview, and then reverting it back if it wasnt the main camera. You could pin a preview of a camera in a dedicated viewport, but that meant reducing the real-estate of your main viewport.Now, withHaoyu Qius feature (GH-90778), every selected 3D camera shows a preview inside the inspector. No switching cameras needed to preview anymore.Of course this isnt the only new feature in Godot 4.4 dev6, but it is by far and away my favorite. You can learn more about the new camera preview functionality, as well as the other new features added in Dev6 in the video below.

    Why Do Chinese LLMs Switch to Chinese in Complex Interactions?
    LatestMachine LearningWhy Do Chinese LLMs Switch to Chinese in Complex Interactions? 0 like December 10, 2024Share this postAuthor(s): Barhoumi Mosbeh Originally published on Towards AI. When I was a kid, my parents always encouraged me to learn other languages and even aim to speak 3 or 4 fluently. They especially emphasized learning English because most of the best resources on the internet are written in English. I often heard the same advice from my teachers: If you know two languages, you have two brains. Thats 100% true! My native language is Arabic, but when it comes to writing something like this, I find it almost impossible to do it in Arabic. I learned AI and other technical skills in English, so its much easier for me to express myself in it (and its easier on the keyboard too, xD).Recently, Ive been using DeepSeek, one of the most advanced AI models out there, and I have to say, its been a game-changer. Its helped me solve some really tough technical problems with its deep thinking option. However, Ive noticed something strange: Sometimes, for particularly hard tasks, it switches to Chinese for no apparent reason. Its weird to ask a question in English and get an answer in Chinese (or a part of the answer). This got me thinking about this phenomenon. Why does this happen?Chinese LLMs are designed to understand and generate text in multiple languages, including English and Chinese. The decision to switch languages mid-conversation could be influenced by several factors, including the models training data, the context of the conversation, and the specific instructions or prompts provided by the user.Why?I have seen a lot of posts on Reddit or LinkedIn saying that these models switch to their mother language like humans do when they have to think about hard cases. For me, for example, when I had a deep conversation, I may not be able to go deeper with a native speaker about elections in the US and the results. I dont have that much deep knowledge in politics in English, but Ill be able to speak about the situation in the Middle East with you for about consecutive 10 hours because I have enough knowledge specifically in Arabic. This is because most of the time, Im reading and hearing the news in Arabic.Can this be the case with Chinese LLMs? Short answer: no! I dont believe that this is the case with these models. Its just an issue that can be the result of many problems in training data imbalance, or how reinforcement learning (RL) is done.Training Data Imbalanceimage from the authorOne of the primary reasons for this language shift is the composition of the training data. These models are often trained on vast amounts of Chinese text, which makes them more proficient and confident in Chinese. When faced with intricate queries, the model might revert to Chinese because it has a richer understanding and more comprehensive data in this language. This is somewhat analogous to how humans might switch to their mother tongue when discussing complex topics, as it offers a more nuanced and precise means of expression.Model Architecture and Reinforcement LearningThe architecture of these models plays a significant role in their language choice. If the model is designed with a bias towards Chinese, either due to the training data or the reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) process, it might naturally favor Chinese responses. For instance, if the feedback used in the RLHF process is predominantly in Chinese, the model might learn to prefer Chinese outputs, even in mixed-language conversations.Cultural and Linguistic NuancesChinese language and culture are deeply intertwined, offering a rich tapestry of expressions and nuances that might be better suited for certain discussions. The model might prefer Chinese for complex tasks because it can express subtleties and context more effectively in this language. This cultural and linguistic richness can make Chinese a more efficient medium for intricate conversations.image from the authorTechnical Considerations: Tokenization and EfficiencyFrom a technical standpoint, the models internal processing, including tokenization and language modeling, might be more efficient in Chinese for certain tasks. If processing Chinese text requires fewer computational resources or offers more efficient representations, the model might default to Chinese for resource-intensive tasks.The advantage of thinking in Chinese is that a single token contains so much more information than Western languages. In Chinese, a single character can represent an entire word or concept, whereas in languages like English, multiple characters (letters) are often needed to form a single word. This means that Chinese text can be tokenized into fewer units, which can significantly reduce the computational load and improve processing speed.For example, the phrase (Peoples Republic of China) consists of just five characters, but if translated into English, it becomes Peoples Republic of China, which requires more tokens to represent. This efficiency in tokenization can lead to better performance, especially in tasks that require deep understanding and long-range dependencies.I would not be surprised if they discover that having a chain of thoughts in Chinese improves overall performance and optimizes context length. The ability to convey complex ideas with fewer tokens can allow the model to maintain a longer and more coherent context, which is crucial for tasks that require reasoning and deep understanding.image from the authorUser Interaction and Prompt InfluenceUser interaction patterns can also influence the models language choice. If the majority of users interacting with the model are Chinese-speaking, the model might naturally gravitate towards Chinese responses. Additionally, the structure and content of prompts can guide the language output. Prompts containing Chinese keywords or cultural references might trigger a Chinese response, as the model seeks to provide contextually appropriate answers.ConclusionIn summary, the tendency of Chinese LLMs to switch to Chinese during complex interactions is a multifaceted phenomenon. It is influenced by the composition of their training data, architectural design, user interaction patterns, cultural nuances, and technical efficiencies. Understanding these factors provides valuable insights into the behavior of these models and highlights the importance of considering language biases and cultural contexts in the development of AI systems.Join thousands of data leaders on the AI newsletter.

    The Stylish Anker Zolo 10,000mAh Power Bank Can Fast Charge Your Switch for Under $20
    For a limited time, Amazon has brought back one of its best power bank deals from Black Friday. The Anker Zolo 10,000mAh 30W USB Power Bank is back down to only $15.59, a 40% discount from its original $26 price. This is an excellent deal for an Anker-branded 10,000mAh power bank that can fast charge a Nintendo Switch console at its maximum rate. The Zolo is compact, can completely recharge a Switch console more than once, and has a couple of unique nifty features, like a built-in USB cable and a discrete digital display. Plus, it's decked out in a rare pastel blue, pink, and white color schemes.Anker Zolo 10,000mAh USB Power Bank for $15.59Anker Zolo 10,000mAh 30W USB Power BankThere are two reasons why this power bank is a great battery backup for your Nintendo Switch console: capacity and charging rate. A 10,000mAh (37Whr) power bank can charge a Nintendo Switch OLED from completely empty to full about 1.9 times. Provided you fully charge your Switch from the get-go, that nearly triples your total playtime. At the same time, a 10,000mAh power bank still maintains a pretty small footprint; for example, this particular model is about the size of an iPhone and weighs under 8oz. The Anker Zolo power bank also boasts a 30W charging output over USB Type-C. The Nintendo Switch console accepts a maximum charging rate of 18W. That means this power bank will be able to charge your Switch at the same rate as the official Nintendo charger.The Zolo has a built-in USB cable, however it's not retractable. Instead, you plug it into itself so that it forms a secure loop that's strong enough to be used like a lanyard. I have this power bank myself and I can tell you the loop is quite sturdy. There's also a separate USB Type-C port that be used for either input or output. Finally, there's a simple digital display that shows you the remaining battery charge as a percentage.TSA-ApprovedNote that the TSA requires all power banks to be brought in carry-on bags; power banks are not allowed in check-in regardless of capacity. The Anker power bank's 10,000mAh capacity is well below TSA's 27,000mAh carry-on limit, so it can be brought onto planes. It's also low-profile enough that no one will take notice in the first place. If a TSA official actually does take the initiative to test the wattage on your power bank, you're well in the clear.For more options, check out our picks for the best power banks of 2024.

    HP Is Offering an RTX 4060 Gaming PC for $619.99
    This deal won't last very long. HP is currently offering an HP Envy Intel Core i5-1440F RTX 3050 gaming PC for $629.99. That's not a very spectacular deal. However, you can upgrade to the RTX 4060 GPU on the configuration page and the price actually drops $10. That means you can pick up an HP Envy RTX 4060 gaming PC for only $619.99. That is definitely one of the best budget gaming PC deals I've seen for all of November and December, including Black Friday. Even if the deal doesn't prematurely expire, this is a flash sale that's set to expire in a few hours.HP Envy RTX 4060 Gaming PC for $619.99HP Envy Intel Core i5-14400F RTX 4060 Gaming PCThe HP ENVY is a compact, unassuming PC that doesn't feature the ostentatious tempered glass panels or RGB bling that adorn many gaming PCs. But really, it's the internals that count. This particular system is equipped with an Intel Core i5-14400F CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core i5-14400F processor is a 14th generation Intel CPU and features a Max Turbo frequency of 4.7GHz with 10 cores, 16 threads, and 20MB of total cache. This is a good gaming chip that won't bottleneck your RTX 4060 GPU.The RTX 4060 is considerably more powerful than the RTX 3060 and almost nearly matches the RTX 3060 Ti. I would recommend this card for comfortable 1080p gaming. You could also run games at 1440p with relaxed graphic settings, but at that point I'd recommend upgrading to an RTX 4060 Ti or higher. Because it's a current generation card, the RTX 4060 supports DLSS 3.0. It gives you a very nice framerate boost without sacrificing too much visual quality.The case measures only 12" deep and 14" high, so it won't take up much desktop space. It features a decked out front I/O panel which includes four USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port, a headphone jack, and even a 3-in-1 memory card reader. At this price, there's not much more you can ask for.Why Should You Trust IGN's Deals Team?IGN's deals team has a combined 30+ years of experience finding the best discounts in gaming, tech, and just about every other category.

    28 Years Later Trailer May Have Just Confirmed the Fate of Cillian Murphys Jim
    News 28 Years Later Trailer May Have Just Confirmed the Fate of Cillian Murphys JimDid the 28 Years Later trailer spoil the fate of Cillian Murphy's Jim? Some fans think so.By John Saavedra | December 10, 2024 | | Photo: Sony PicturesNot quite 28 years later, filmmakers Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are returning to the zombie tale that revitalized and evolved the zombie genre. The horror story that kicked off with 2001s 28 Days Later and continued in 2007s 28 Weeks Later jumps forward almost three decades to a world completely changed by the Rage Virus.In fact, the first trailer for the long-awaited third installment reveals an England where survivors armed with bows and arrows live in primitive settlements and a filthy Ralph Fiennes stalks around a temple-like structure made of human skulls. But the trailer may not just be showing us what happened to society after the Rage Virus spread to mainland Europe (and presumably the rest of the world). According to some eagle-eyed fans, it may also reveal the dark fate of Cillian Murphys protagonist from 28 Days Later Watch the trailer below:So, wheres Jim? Fans quickly locked in on one very brief shot in the trailer, at 1:47, in which an emaciated infected rises from a field to do some chomping, while kind of bearing a resemblance to the Oscar-winning actor. To some viewers, this is confirmation that Jim was infected by the Rage Virus at some point after the original film. That of course wouldnt be completely surprising if he happened to be one of the people who returned to England to re-settle the country right before things went to absolute hell in 28 Weeks Later. Or perhaps Jim, Selena, and Hannah were never actually rescued as the ending of the original film suggested.Of course, it must be said that a big deal has been made about Murphys return to the franchise. Bringing back the Oppenheimer actor just for a cameo as a walking corpse would certainly be a choice. In fact, Murphy was spotted filming scenes as Not A Corpse Jim as recently as September. But even if the infected in this scene really is meant to be Jim, theres another possible explanation: in the original film, Jim has dreams that are initially presented as reality. Perhaps thats whats happening here. An older Jim is imagining what would happen if he were to be infected. Thats this writers theory, anyway.Most of the rest of the trailer revolves around Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Alfie Wilson journeying through rural England, while in another thread, a group of armed soldiers become zombie food. Its unclear how the two storylines tie into each other, or how creepy Ralph Fiennes and his skull tower fit in, but the trailer certainly leaves us wanting more. Its refreshing in this day and age to get a trailer that doesnt hand out a bunch of answers before youve even sat down to watch the movie.Also, shout out to the person who chose the Rudyard Kiplings disturbing poem Boots (read by actor Taylor Holmes in the trailer) to accompany the terrifying images on screen. Meant to evoke the repetitive thoughts of a British infantryman marching to his doom in South Africa during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), Kiplings 1903 poem is the perfect companion to Taylor-Johnson and Comers own march through the zombie-infested hills of England.28 Years Later, which is out in theaters on June 20, 2025, is just the first installment in a planned trilogy of zombie flicks penned by Boyle and Garland. While Boyle is back in the directors chair for this next entry, a sequel titled 28 Years Later Part II: The Bone Temple will be helmed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman).

    The End of the Spider-Man-Less Spider-Man Movies Didnt Come Soon Enough
    Its official. Knull has destroyed Sonys Spider-Man villain universe. Morbin time is over. Ezekiel Sims has prevented the future. Kravens last hunt has commenced. Or so a cynic might say! (Ahem.) Be that as it may, The Wrap is indeed reporting this weekends Kraven the Hunter will bring an end to the shared universe Sony has built around Spider-Man villains.Honestly, its about time. Look, weve all had our fun. Tom Hardys sweaty take on Eddie Brock made the Venom movies into unlikely and enjoyable rom-coms. Morbius spawned hilarious memes, which in turn spawned major studio blunders. And apparently, people enjoyed seeing third-generation Hollywood nepo baby Dakota Johnson condescend to her own projects on the Madame Web press tour. But lets face it, Sonys shared cinematic universe was a dubious idea from the beginning.Not-So-Amazing DecisionsSony lucked out when they licensed the film adaptation rights to Spider-Man from a flailing Marvel Comics back in the 1990s. Against all odds, they did the right thing by giving the project to Sam Raimi, an incredibly talented filmmaker whose sensibilities perfectly matched the material. Raimis whizz-bang camera movements and utter sincerity led to Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, the latter of which is still the best superhero film ever made in this writers opinion.But Sony remains a giant business, run by legions of executives who need to please their shareholders. And so good things couldnt last forever. The studio began increasingly pressing notes onto Raimis Spider-Man 3, insisting on the inclusion of Venom. When Raimi left during production of Spider-Man 4, Sony decided to do a gritty reboot with a brooding teen lead, hoping to match the tone of Batman Begins and the Twilight series. While The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel benefited from fantastic chemistry between Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, it squandered it with overstuffed stories designed for shared universe spin-offs.The train wreck of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 led Sony to cut a deal with Kevin Feige, paving the way for Tom Holland creating a new Spidey in the MCU. Nonetheless, the new status quo of sharing the character didnt cause Sony to completely reverse course. Instead they doubled down on making a shared universe, turning Spider-Mans enemies into anti-heroes and stars of their own stories. Although Morbius and Venom have turned heroic and they, along with the Spider-Women in Madame Web, have all carried their own comics from time to time, each title stemmed from a comic book universe where Spider-Man was a a constant daily presence in NYC. And yet, noticeably, whether it was Venom: Let There Be Carnage or Morbius, the new Sony spinoffs refused to ever feature the greatest superhero of all-time.The Great Responsibility of Spider-Man MoviesAt his core, Peter Parker is a regular guy who doesnt seek the great power given to him. Power doesnt simplify his life, it complicates it, making it harder to pay his bills and maintain a relationship. Hes overcome by responsibility. Yet as much as he sometimes resents that responsibility, he never fails to see it out, because he knows what it means to struggle, to make a mistake.Sam Raimi also knew that Spider-Mans superhero battles stemmed from that fundamental truth, which is why he always focused on Peters story first and then the supervillain he was fighting second. At their heart, Morbius, Venom, and Kraven are people who received great power and didnt know what to do with it, which led to their villain turns. They exist to highlight Spider-Mans qualities, not to replace him.Theoretically, making these characters into protagonists of their own stories would have solved their secondary status. Instead of Eddie Brock being a roided up loser whose hatred of Peter Parker prevented him from doing good, Venom and its sequels could have given him a different source of inadequacy and had him wrestle against his worst tendencies, accentuated by the symbiote. Morbius could have been someone who had to fight through his mistake and his vampiric lusts, a conflict with value on its own, outside of its dark reflection of Spider-Mans plight.Most galling is Madame Web, which takes a somewhat heroic character who does not rely upon Spider-Man and botches it in the worst possible way. Madame Web reimagines Spider-Mans primary line With great power comes great responsibility and changes it into When you take on the responsibility, great power will come. Instead of making Johnsons eponymous hero a character who learns to care for the Spider-Women because its the right thing to do, she becomes the opposite of Spider-Man, someone who seeks out power, even if it requires taking responsibility she doesnt want.In every instance, Sonys Villian-Verse proved that the company understood nothing about the characters it adapted, let alone Spider-Man. The company only wanted to make IP-driven cash-ins, and it showed.Against the Spider-VerseSonys utter mishandling of its Villain Universe is further highlighted by the one project they got consistently right. Both Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are miracle movies. Somehow they take a concept known for multiversal shenanigans, focus on the lesser-known Spider-Man Miles Morales, and add in a ton of deep cut variants, and still turn out visually gorgeous and emotionally gripping storiesnot once, but twice!Even today, its hard to understand how exactly the Spider-Verse films were made (turns out, a terrible working conditions were part of the equation, sadly). But it sounds like Sonys determined to find out.According to The Wraps report, Sony will turn its attention away from the villain films and toward the next Spider-Man movie. That means a fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man flick, which might require Feige to take a heavier hand in the follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home. But it also means the third Spider-Verse film.Does this mean that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will pit Miles and his Amazing Multiversal Friends against Knull? Does it mean Vulture will suddenly appear back in the MCU to fight Tom Hollands Spidey, this time with Dr. Michael Morbius in tow? After a dance with Morbin Time, its fair to say anything is possible.Kraven the Hunter closes out Sonys Villain Universe in theaters on Friday, Dec. 13.
