I don't know that original title was but a quick look doesn't show the word "language" used in the article. "The language of the immune system" really seems like editorializing.

In fact, the title as I currently see it: "Modelling the lanuage of the immune system with machine learning (first steps)" seems like a pretty strong title abuse from start to finish. The title of repository is: "Statistical classifiers for diagnosing disease from immune repertoires".

"Paul Graham, Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Peter Thiel score high"

You say this is measured by the number of "true non-obvious predictions" - can you list those for each of these folks?

I'd also think a batting average would be useful, instead of just a count of "correct predictions".
It's not a major vector. We don't always wear gloves either.

The difference between feet and hands is that hands frequently touch mucous membranes, where feet don't. So if you can move a contaminating activity from the hands to the feet this easily reduces infections by an order of magnitude for that vector.
There's nothing I am more jealous of than the night markets you see around the world.

From the POV of an AI practitioner, there is one and only one reason I remain unimpressed with GPT3.

It is nothing more than one big transformer. At a technical level, it does nothing impressive, apart from throw money at a problem.

So in that sense, having already been impressed at Transformers and then ELMO/BERT/GPT-1 (for making massive pretraining popular). There is nothing in GPT3 that is particularly impressive outside of Transformers and massive pre-training, both of which are well known in the community.

So, yeah, I am very impressed by how well transformers scale. But, idk if I'd give OpenAI any credit for that.
What is the problem you see? I am interested why i should be cautious. It seems like offline app that uses .md files. And the authors seem legit bootstrappers with quality projects behind them.

The higher the agency the less need for a plot. If you are looking for strong writing then you'll need to play games that are mostly based on a linear story with less agency. By linear story I don't just mean a half hearted chain of quests. Plot heavy games are almost indistinguishable from books. Sometimes you spend 10 minutes doing nothing but reading.

"teaching all devs on how to do devops within 2 months, so they can be self sufficient"

There's so much wrong with this key result it's incredible :( One big reason that OKRs can fail is just flat out bad OKRs. Teaching all devs to do "devops" within two months ignores the actual issue that they seem to be trying to solve (which I'm guessing is that not having sufficient ops is hurting the company and velocity). It's far too easy to fail and puts pressure on individuals rather than letting the team find the right solution.
Last time I spoke to Omnivision they wouldn't even consider a purchase order (from an R&D company) unless we were buying 2k units. So don't bother unless you're building consumer electronics.

Other companies like e2v do have sampling packs available for most of their standard sensors, and they're pretty friendly. Not quite so small though!

Credit issues can be very devastating. An eviction on my rental history is one of the most challenging experiences i ever had. I am just so glad i’m out of that now. Just weeks ago i had eviction on my history and i began to search for solutions online until i came across a forum like this on google. I read a comment where the user, who refused to share his identity made mention of a hacker that saved his/her life. i contacted him at Eaglespyhacker at gmail dot com,He wiped the eviction among other negative listings from my report. I’ll be eternally grateful to him.

People can find meaning in everything, that doesn't make waterfalls or sunsets intelligent, it makes people intelligent.

The reason why the transformer can only look back a thousand symbols is because it doesn't have an actual high human-level narrative structure of a conversation or any idea of persistent entities in the way we do.

If I have a conversation with you I can remember the content because I have an idea of "you" and "I" and of persistent entities in the world, and of a whole ontology that makes me able to make sense of the world, not some sort of transformer soup of a hundred billion parameters.

The same is true for the poetry, it doesn't matter whether people can't tell the difference, but a human poet expresses intent and meaning through poetry, poets don't statistically cue words together without underlying meaning.

The Navy Seal copy pasta is funny to you, because you know what a Navy Seal is. The model merely has strung syntax together.

> "None of the military branches or Twitch would comment on paid promotion or how branches might qualify for prominent placement on Twitch’s homepage" It's money. Literally just money. There is nothing nefarious on Twitch's part about selling featured space.

It also might not be money. I follow a popular twitch streamer (averages 30k+ viewers) who is often featured on the front page. He says he just asks his contact at Twitch to be put on the front page, no money required. They do have additional rules though (he isn't allowed to swear too much or they will remove him from the front page).
Regardless of whether OKRs are meaningful or important (IMO they aren't), Google had OKRs in 1999, less than a year after founding, before AdWords. They didn't have notable product teams before OKRs.

> People who say AGI is a hundred years away also said GO was 50 years away and they certainly didn’t predict anything even close to what we are seeing now so why is everyone believing them?

Do you why AlphaGo decided to perform move 37 in Game 2 with Lee Sedol? Can AlphaGo explain itself as to why it did that move?

If we don't know why it made that decision, then it is a mysterious black-box hiding it's decisions and taking in an input to produce and output, which is still a problem. This isn't useful to researchers in understanding decisions of these AI systems, especially for AGI. Hence, this problem also applies to GPT-3.

While it is still an advancement in NLP, I'm more interested in getting a super accurate or generative AI system to explain itself than one that cannot.
Yao Ming was also one of the elite centers in the NBA during his prime (just behind Shaq). A 7’6 tall guy that could hit a jumper and make all his free throws (couldn’t foul him in the paint, or he’d make you pay). Injuries did him in, but he was nothing short of amazing even if he didn’t come from China.

Quick wiki research:

There have been regular Houston Rockets games that had over 200 million viewers from China. The super bowl has about 100 million in comparison.

At the scale we’re talking about, this will become a recurring issue across many industries as you simply can’t deny the power of the Chinese market.

Implementing cosine in C from scratch
It reminds me of that pithy remark by someone I read a while ago which was (paraphrased): "Any time someone pushes forward AI as a field, people will almost alway remark: 'but that's not real AI.'"

It's true, the mundanity quickly settles in, and we look to the next 'impossible hurdle' and disregard the fact that only a few years ago, natural language generation like this was impossible.
We don't agree. I'm saying it's unknown - which means I don't know whether it's zero or widespread. That's the point. Again, it's impossible to measure without mass confirmation and that has never been done. Where else do you expect the evidence to come from?

You however claim that there is none. A lack of evidence from a lack of measurement does not mean your narrative must be true. I'm asking questions seeking the truth. You are blindly following a political narrative while dismissing any questioning.

You cited a few articles that only focus on voter ID which isn't the only type of fraud (remember the 4 year investigation into Russian interference?). Also that 11% stat is unsourced and just a quote in an article which discusses people who already had IDs and failed to keep them updated. It's not voter suppression if everyone has to do it. Do you think that having an ID for work or to drive is suppressing rights as well?

Can you answer the question I posed earlier about the overlap of people participating in society and but don't have ID? If it's such a problem then the answer should be easy.

Why not setup a situation where the people of the DRC are housed, fed and provided healthcare from the proceeds of their rare-earths while allowing the western beneficiaries to use their military to oust violent barbaric war-lords?

That's a bit of an unwarranted assumption. Even hinting that you have a different preference or questioning the reports of stability and prosperity (even privately among friends on WeChat, which is monitored and censored) can get you invited for a nice cup of tea with the local police.

How to Grow a SaaS Startup on YouTube: Learnings from Year One
As encouraging as GPT-3 results are, I still don't see the critical ability to synthesize large scale structure (think book-level as opposed to just a few sentences) manifest in this research. Even the much touted 0.7 temperature revenge of the sith examples don't exhibit coherent high level structure that continues across the span of more than a few sentences. And I differentiate high level structure from long distance structure. The algorithm does appear to be able to relate themes from a sentence earlier in a generated text to ones which appear later (up to a few paragraphs later). But the narrative connecting those sentences seems shallow and lacks depth. Compare this with the complex, multi tiered narrative that underpins the structure of a well written book or body of research.

My intuition here is that there is an exponential relationship between the "depth" evident in the narrative of generated text and the number of parameters required in the model that places viable, AGI-like intelligence still much further in the future.
>Let me retire on a good pension at 60 like my grandparents all did.

My theory: The economic success of my grandfather, part of the post-WWII "greatest generation" in the U.S., was an anomaly.

After WWII the U.S. economy was experiencing unique boomtimes. They won the war with their economy intact, and were by far the most productive country on the planet.

Since then, besides reverting to the mean, globalism and information technology has changed everything.

My grandfather had a 4th grade education, retired from his job at a steel plant, and lived in three of four houses he owned in two states. That is simply not the way the world works any more.

From an economic perspective he was in the right place at the right time. A couple generations earlier he would have been a poor farmer. A generation or two afterwards he would have been a working-poor service worker.

Like I said, this is a theory of mine, that the economy of post-WWII American was an aberration and should not be considered the normal state of things. For those couple/few decades the U.S. was the factory and research powerhouse of the world, other manufacturing bases didn't exist or were rebuilding.

I welcome comments.
Easy enough in a small org, much more difficult in a big org. Part of the point of OKRs, when done right, are that it shows how the thing you're working on today ladders up to the big thing that drives the entire company forward. That said, in reality it's rarely executed well or with any precision whatsoever. I worked at a 1000 person place whose top level OKRs were so vague they were garbage. You could have created any feature whatsoever and shoed it into those.
I think a lot of it has to do with the means of reproduction of the animal. One might make an argument that [r-type species](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory#r-selec...) have decimating loss factored into their everyday experience and survival strategy. As a different commenter pointed out, driving a car down a highway kills hundreds of insects. As a practical matter, insects are the most successful clade ever, with the largest biodiversity, largest number of individuals, and largest biomass of any land animals (by far). If the end is to reduce human impact on ecosystems, then farming insects seems like a reasonable trade off from a utilitarian perspective.

Echoing what a lot of other posters are saying, I would strongly recommend considering advisor/group fit. Of course, research field also matters; it seems like you don't really like networking/security that much, so feel free to steer clear of those disciplines. However, let's say you meet an awesome AI prof, and their work is of moderate interest - that seems like a recipe for a good time, even if the field is saturated/there's an AI winter in our future.

Anecdotally, my first research position was the result of getting my last-choice internship for that summer. I thought I would hate it and was planning to quit after the summer. My advisor was incredible, and I ended up working in that lab for 3 years. That field (human-computer interaction) is now my primary discipline!
My sense is medicine has for some time neglected chronic symptoms from acute viral infection. During my lifetime, chronic fatigue syndrome went from a psychological malady confined to malingerers and depressed women to a physical malady associated with infection... but maybe also malingerers / depressed women.

Which was where things stood when I contracted mononucleosis in my 40s. Weeks / months long fatigue and multi-organ involvement is characteristic of mono. In my case as the other symptoms slowly abated the fatigue remained, lingering over six months with some intervening flare-ups of fever etc.

I learned that that this progression is considerably more common in older patients. Beyond that, little was known and my doctors reacted with a shrug and symptom management.

There was no know cause to these symptoms. And seemingly to me considerably less medical interest.

Perhaps Covid will yield a greater focus and fundamental understanding of chronic conditions resulting from viruses. However, given the contrast between the prevalence of CFS and attention paid... and the medical reaction to Lyme Disease I’m not entirely optimistic.
