Write a short story about Goku discovering kirby has teamed up with Majin Buu to destroy the world.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|> assistant
Once upon a time in Universe Seven, there lived two powerful beings - Son Goku, Earth's greatest hero; and Kirby, an interdimensional pink puffball known for his insatiable appetite and ability to copy abilities from those he consumes. One fateful day, these unlikely adversaries would cross paths when they discovered that their once-rivalized worlds were now under threat by none other than...a collaboration between Kirby himself and one of Dragon Ball Z’s most feared villains – Majin Buu!
It began as any ordinary morning might have started out: breakfast at Capsule Corp., followed by rigorous training exercises led personally by Vegeta (who had since become something like family). However, midway through sparring practice against Cell Jr., Gohan suddenly interrupted them via telepathy—his voice filled with urgency yet tainted slightly with disbelief—"Dad…Kakarot!" He hesitated briefly before continuing gravely, "I just received word from King Kai regarding some disturbingly odd activity happening back home on Popstar."
Goku raised an eyebrow curiously but didn't stop practicing until completing his current set. Afterward, wiping sweat off his brow, he asked casually while heading towards Bulma's lab where she was working diligently alongside Trunks & Goten, “So what kind of trouble does my old buddy say we should look into?”
Bulma glanced away momentarily from whatever gadgetry held her attention captive long enough to respond dryly without looking up, “Well apparently our favorite little vacuum cleaner seems hellbent on destroying everything again.” She paused dramatically then added sarcastically, “But this time around? Get ready because guess who decided tagging along sounded fun?" With great flair, she finally revealed the answer written clearly across multiple screens surrounding her workspace, displaying images captured directly from Planet Namek itself showing both Kirby AND MAJIN BUU causing widespread chaos hand-in-hand!!
For several seconds following confirmation of such preposterous news, silence reigned supreme within the usually bustling confines of Capsule Corporation HQ. Finally breaking free from shock induced paralysis, Goku managed only three words initially, spoken softly almost reverentially, “Buu...and...Kirby?” Then louder, more forcefully demanding clarification, “How could THAT possibly happen?! They don't even exist within same universe let alone work together willingly!”
Vegeta scoffed derisively beside him muttering dismissively beneath breath, 'Impossible!' Yet despite initial skepticism evident throughout entire room moments ago, everyone present couldn't deny mounting evidence suggesting otherwise right before eyes...
And thus begins epic tale chronicling adventures undertaken joint forces comprised primarily Super Saiyan God Blue empowered protagonist hailing originally from distant planet Vegeta accompanied unexpected albeit reluctant antihero originating entirely separate reality altogether bent solely upon saving existence itself rather than dominion over it unlike certain counterparts sharing similar circumstances elsewhere far removed spatially speaking....<|im_end|>

If I lay 2 wet shirts out in the sun flat on the ground to dry and it takes 5 hours until they are dry, how long would it take to dry 4 shirts of the same type that way simultanously?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|> assistant
The time required for drying multiple shirts simultaneously remains the same as when you dried them one at a time because there is no dependency between the individual drying processes. The factors affecting drying speed include sunlight intensity, air circulation, humidity levels, and fabric properties – none of which change based on whether you're drying two or four shirts concurrently.
Thus, if laying out four wet shirts still permits ample exposure to direct sunlight without overlapping too much (which could hinder efficient evaporation), then those additional garments should also be completely dried within approximately 5 hours under identical environmental conditions.<|im_end|>

explain step by step 25-4*2+3=?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|> assistant
Sure! Let's break down the equation into simpler steps:
Given expression: 25 - 4 * 2 + 3 = ?
Step 1: Calculate the multiplication inside parentheses (if any). Since there aren't any in this case, move on to Step 2 directly.
Step 2: Perform operations from left to right according to order of precedence – Parentheses > Exponents > Multiplication & Division > Addition & Subtraction. Here we have only addition (+) and subtraction (-), so perform them from left to right.
First operation is subtraction: 25 - 8 (since 4 times 2 equals 8), resulting in:
25 - 8 = 17
Next operation is addition; add 3 to our current result:
17 + 3 = 20
So, the final answer after evaluating all parts of the given expression would be **20**.<|im_end|>

Mark is faster than Mary , Mary is faster than Joe. Is Joe faster than Mark? Let's think step by step<|im_end|>
<|im_start|> assistant
Step 1: Understand the given information
We know that Mark is faster than Mary, which we can represent as Mark > Mary (using '>' symbol for comparison). Similarly, Mary is faster than Joe, so we have Mary > Joe.
Step 2: Compare the speeds of Mark and Joe using transitive property
The transitive property states that if A > B and B > C, then A > C. Applying this concept here - since we know Mark > Mary and Mary > Joe, we should be able to determine whether Mark > Joe or not.
Step 3: Analyze results
By applying the transitive property from Step 2, it becomes evident that because Mark is faster than Mary, who in turn is faster than Joe; therefore logically, yes – Mark would indeed be faster than Joe. So our final statement would look like this - Mark > Joe.<|im_end|>

## How to use
Thanks to [TheBloke](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke) for preparing an amazing README on how to use GGUF models:
### About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.
Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
* [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
* [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
* [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
* [GPT4All](https://gpt4all.io/index.html), a free and open source local running GUI, supporting Windows, Linux and macOS with full GPU accel.
* [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/), an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration. Linux available, in beta as of 27/11/2023.
* [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
* [Faraday.dev](https://faraday.dev/), an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
* [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
* [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.
* [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server. Note, as of time of writing (November 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated in a long time and does not support many recent models.
### Explanation of quantisation methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
* GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
* GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
* GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
* GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw
## How to download GGUF files
**Note for manual downloaders:** You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
* LM Studio
* LoLLMS Web UI
* Faraday.dev
### In `text-generation-webui`
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: [MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF) and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF.Q4_K_M.gguf.
Then click Download.
### On the command line, including multiple files at once
I recommend using the `huggingface-hub` Python library:
```shell
pip3 install huggingface-hub
```
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
```shell
huggingface-cli download MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage (click to read)
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
```shell
huggingface-cli download [MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF) --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```
For more documentation on downloading with `huggingface-cli`, please see: [HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/download#download-from-the-cli).
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install `hf_transfer`:
```shell
pip3 install hf_transfer
```
And set environment variable `HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER` to `1`:
```shell
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download MaziyarPanahi/Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
```
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running `set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1` before the download command.
## Example `llama.cpp` command
Make sure you are using `llama.cpp` from commit [d0cee0d](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/d0cee0d36d5be95a0d9088b674dbb27354107221) or later.
```shell
./main -ngl 35 -m Nous-Hermes-2-Mixtral-8x7B-SFT-Wikihow-GGUF.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 32768 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant"
```
Change `-ngl 32` to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change `-c 32768` to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically. Note that longer sequence lengths require much more resources, so you may need to reduce this value.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the `-p ` argument with `-i -ins`
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to [the llama.cpp documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/main/README.md)
## How to run in `text-generation-webui`
Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation, here: [text-generation-webui/docs/04 ‐ Model Tab.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/04%20%E2%80%90%20Model%20Tab.md#llamacpp).
## How to run from Python code
You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries. Note that at the time of writing (Nov 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated for some time and is not compatible with some recent models. Therefore I recommend you use llama-cpp-python.
### How to load this model in Python code, using llama-cpp-python
