3.28.0c Patch Notes The Mirage Challenge League Fixed a bug where Mirages were unable to extend into the Moon Temple boss arena. The Wish for Rust and Wish for Terror now cause the enemies they spawn to spawn when breaking the Astral Chain instead of spawning alongside Final Map Bosses in the Mirage Area. This also now allows these Wishes to appear at any Mirage of sufficient area level, instead of just Mirages within range of a Map Boss. Fixed a bug where Wish for Rust was twice as common in Ruthless. The granted skill to return to the portal in a Mirage is no longer considered a Spell. Empowered Mirage Map items now have special art. Fixed a bug where the mortar projectile spell used by the Astral Instrument monster did no damage. Added the Wish for Flame which grants a Coin of Power on breaking the Astral Chain. Added the Wish for Tides which grants a Coin of Knowledge on breaking the Astral Chain. Added the Wish for Sands which grants a Coin of Skill on breaking the Astral Chain. General Improvements and Changes Shortened the display text for subsequent notifications of Faustus having sold your items. Toast notifications are no longer displayed over the top of the inventory panel. Shrines which attach ongoing secondary effects to the player, such as Shocking Shrine, now have a limit on how many of these effects they can continue to attach through getting many copies of these shrines active at once. All Lost Shipment chests except for the central one are now destructible with damage.’ The central chest in Lost Shipments also has a more distinctive label now. At the Map Device, hovering a Map or Fragment in your inventory will now highlight the Map Device slots the item can go in. At the Map Device, while in the controller mode players can now select Unique Maps or Boss Fragments from their inventory to navigate to those locations on the Atlas and insert the item into the Map Device. The Map Stash now has 6 subtabs available for each of the Conqueror and Elder Guardian map types. Added a new Harvest Crafting Option to change a stack of League-Specific Astrolabes into a different type of League-Specific Astrolabe. Ailith can now be interacted with from farther away in the Monastery of the Keepers. Hovering a Volatile Vaal Orb over an item now shows the modified range of individual stat values. Vagan’s crafting bench to complete Incubators now has a more descriptive label for what interacting with the crafting bench will do. Holy Flame Totems now have an enemy targeting range that matches Spell Totems (for real this time). Added the “Currency” stash tab affinity to the following items: Refracting Fog, Volatile Vaal Orb, Crystallised Rancour, Coin of Restoration, Coin of Desecration, Coin of Knowledge, Coin of Power, Coin of Skill. Added the “Essence” stash tab affinity to the Essence of Desolation. Unstable Breaches that have extra time before collapse (due to the Clawed Open Atlas Notable) will now display a second progress bar when using that extra time. Visually adjusted the fog of war on the Atlas such that it is easier to tell what is explored and what is not yet explored. Re-enabled Magus Tome Hip Attachment and Triumphant Liege Helmet Attachment microtransactions. Re-enabled the Celestial Dominating Blow microtransaction. The Originator Voidstone has additional reminder text noting that Astrolabes cannot drop from Maps affected by Shaped Regions. Note this is purely a description change. Updated the description of the damage penalty on The Sands of Time unique sceptre’s Suspend in Time skill to correctly state that the copied skill is used, not triggered. Call the Pyre from the Pyre Support now states it requires a Melee Weapon or Unarmed. This is purely a description change. Bug fixes Fixed a few cases of unique item modifiers showing that they scaled with mod effect when they did not actually have a gameplay impact, notably the “Socketed gem” modifiers on Black Zenith and Triumvirate Authority. Existing copies of these items with modified values will continue to show the incorrect values, though since these values are only used for display purposes this does not change their behaviour compared to normal copies of the unique. Fixed a bug where the Maraketh Faction in the Act 4 Dried Lake Legion Encounter wasn’t generating chest rewards. Fixed a bug where the Memory Altar modifier for Breach added additional Clasped Hands, which no longer exist. This modifier instead adds 2 additional unstable Breaches to the Area. Fixed the Twist of Fate Atlas Keystone preventing you from running Corrupted Maps. The Keystone clarifies it does not affect Corrupted Blighted Maps or Corrupted Maps beyond Voidstone sockets on your Atlas. Fixed a bug that could prevent Divine Vessels from being moved into the Map Device via Ctrl + Left Click. Fixed a bug where the Bloodthirsty Body Armour microtransaction’s skirt had disappeared. Fixed a bug where hiveblood would stop updating on the client after more than a certain total amount had been spent in the league Fixed a bug where some Seagulls in Kingsmarch were no longer fleeing from the player. Bird bravery will not be tolerated. Fixed a bug where the “Shockwave has +1 to cooldown” modifier granted by Essence of Desolation did not apply to Void Shockwave or Gore Shockwave. Fixed a bug where Inscribed Ultimatums to double the number of Fracturing Orbs were not functional, or searchable on the Trade website. Fixed a bug where various increased Fire, Cold and Lightning Damage Prefix Modifiers on Weapons and Shields could not be rerolled using the new change a Modifier Harvest crafts. Fixed a bug where Glyphic Fossils could select mods from Essence of Desolation. Fixed an issue where red beasts spawned in delve could be very far away from the area where they were supposed to be. Fixed a bug where the Labyrinth Hazards from the Originator Map modifier could be revived in Ritual Encounters. Fixed Reflect mitigation modifiers on the Watcher’s Eye Unique Jewel appearing at the top of the list of Modifiers, rather then below the Life/Mana/Energy Shield Modifiers. Fixed Greater Chain Support not working correctly with Spectral Shield Throw. Fixed a bug which prevented the “This item’s price differs from the one you initially travelled to this shop for.” warning no longer appearing after the vendor window UI has been closed. Fixed a bug where the Frostblink of Wintry Blast wasn’t supportable by Intensify Support. Fixed a bug where if you died from It that was Tul’s Shield Throw skill, or left the area during the skill, It that was Tul could fail to reappear, causing the fight to become incompletable. Fixed a PS5 specific client crash. Fixed 6 client crashes Ruthless fixes Fixed a bug where the Maven’s Chisel of Divination could drop in Ruthless. Updated descriptions on some Mirage Wishes in Ruthless Mode. Fixed a bug where Faridun Blight Chests in Mirages were not spawning in Ruthless campaign Blight Encounters. Fixed Sacrifice Fragments and Mortal Fragments displaying the wrong amount of increased Quantity of Items found and stating they contain a Vaal Side Area in Ruthless.’ Fixed Influencing Scarab of Hordes displaying the wrong increased Pack Size value in Ruthless. (these changes are purely description changes) There may be a delay in this update being available for download on Steam.

📰 "Na przykład, gdy ludzie korzystają z chatbotów, aby dopracować swoje teksty, tracą one swoją stylistyczną indywidualność, a autorzy odczuwają mniejsze poczucie twórczości.- Ludzie różnią się sposobem pisania, rozumowania i postrzegania świata. Gdy jednak te różnice są niwelowane przez te same duże modele językowe (LLM), odmienny styl językowy, perspektywa i strategie rozumowania ulegają ujednoliceniu, co prowadzi do powstawania znormalizowanych sposobów wyrażania się i myślenia u użytkowników - mówi Zhivar Sourati z University of Southern California.Badacze podkreślają, że różnorodność poznawcza w grupach i społeczeństwach wzmacnia kreatywność oraz zdolność rozwiązywania problemów.- Obawa nie dotyczy tylko tego, że LLM-y wpływają na to, jak ludzie piszą czy mówią, ale także tego, że subtelnie redefiniują to, co uznaje się za wiarygodną wypowiedź, właściwą perspektywę, a nawet dobre rozumowanie - ostrzega specjalista."Całość:https://naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C112102%2Csztuczna-inteligencja-zubaza-ludzka-komunikacje-i-myslenie.html#AI #komunikacja #społeczeństwo #różnorodność #chatbot

📰 "W pierwszym „polskim” teście dużych modeli językowych krajowe systemy #AI, #Bielik i #PLLuM wypadły znacznie gorzej od globalnych narzędzi - pisze „Rzeczpospolita”.„Test obejmował 20 zadań z 10 kategorii, od tworzenia maila, przez porady dla firm, sprawdzanie poprawności językowej, po znajomość polskiej historii i kultury (np. przytoczenie pierwszych 12 wersów „Pana Tadeusza”). Wyniki testu przeprowadzonego przez firmę Oxido, okazały się zaskakujące” - relacjonuje gazeta.Spośród 12 modeli wygrało narzędzie Google’a. Na podium znalazł się także chiński model Qwen oraz model Llama od Mety (właściciela m. in. Facebooka – PAP). „Polskie modele uplasowały się natomiast na szarym końcu” - podkreśla dziennik."Całość:https://naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/news%2C112160%2Crz-polska-ai-przegrala-z-gigantami.html
