Where do you live the southern frog?

• The tree frog is an amphibian that lives in areas of vegetation, as in Cañizares of tobacconists and ponds in the bushes nearby, in gardens, wells, in small streams.
• The adult frogs are in the upper reaches of the trees and younger prefer to live at the level of land between the herbaceous vegetation.
• It ditribuye in scattered but very dense populations, ie we can find this kind extremely dense cores, but irregularly shaped along the area where he lives.
• The frog is meriodonal sedentary.
• The southern frogs are nocturnal and crepuscular habits.
• In the evenings when it comes to hunt and it’s time that is more active but also can see during the day between vegetation or in the water when it makes a lot of heat in the spring.
• While the day is more common than this amphibious is installed on the stems and leaves of shrubs and trees in the sun, thanks to mimic its coloration that show, which adapts to the environment where you will find this animal.
• By contrast, in the summer, is more difficult to play that day and becomes a kind less daytime and much more discreet.
• These amphibians hibernate from November to February.

I believe that I now understood in some small measure why the Buddhist goes on pilgrimage to a mountain. The journey is itself part of the technique by which the god is sought. It is a journey into Being; for as I penetrate more deeply into the mountain’s life, I penetrate also into my own. For an hour I am beyond desire. It is not ecstasy, that leap out of the self that makes man like a god. I am not out of myself, but in myself. I am. To know Being, this is the final grace accorded from the mountain.

We see clouds so often, and in such abundance, that it’s easy to forget what marvels they are. A cloud is ethereal, yet astonishingly heavy: a levitating lake, typically weighing more than several blue whales.

Shells of anomiidae, also called mermaid’s toenails, jingle shells, saddle oysters. Lovely, paper-thin, luminescent treasures, they washed up in great quantities on the beach at the end of Annawamscutt Road. I went and collected hundreds of them whenever the tide was out, poured them into jelly jars, and gave them to friends who lived far from the ocean. I was always curious about why they all looked so different, and then I found out their shapes are determined by the shape of the object they grow on. They are the negative cast of whatever is on the seafloor, a random collection of what happens to be down there — rocks, other shells, sunken timbers, old moorings. Thus the alpha privative, the starting “a-” to indicate negation, or absence, of “nomos,” law. There is no law to this order of creature. It forms itself to the world, wrapped around its surround. Cut it loose from that context, and you have anomie, as Emile Durkheim once taught us, so very long ago.

A bacillus lives in a world, or on the borders of a world, far other than our own, and preconceptions drawn from our experience are not valid there.

• Analysts estimated that chatbots hallucinate as much as 27% of the time, with factual errors present in 46% of their responses.
• Indeed, ChatGPT and other sophisticated chatbots regularly put out false information. But that information is packaged in such an eloquent, grammatically correct statement that it’s easy to accept it as truth.
• Errors in encoding and decoding between text and representations can cause hallucinations. When encoders learn the wrong correlations between different parts of the training data, it could result in an erroneous generation that diverges from the input.
• AI hallucinations are caused by a variety of factors, including biased or low-quality training data, a lack of context provided by the user or insufficient programming in the model that keeps it from correctly interpreting information.
• Northwestern’s Riesbeck said generative AI models are “always hallucinating.” Just by their very nature, they are always “making up stuff.” So removing the possibility of AI hallucinations ever generating false information could be difficult, if not impossible.
• Temperature is a parameter that controls the randomness of an AI model’s output. It essentially determines the degree of creativity or conservatism in its generated content, where a higher temperature increases randomness and a lower temperature makes the output more deterministic. In short: the higher the temperature, the more likely a model is to hallucinate. Companies can provide users with the ability to adjust the temperature settings to their liking, and set a default temperature that strikes a proper balance between creativity and accuracy.

Whereas no temperature settings are required for humans, who can actually be creative and accurate at the same time.
