What I would really like to see is an analysis of the weight that individual chunks of context contribute to the final probability for an output. That might allow for better prompting; when GPT-3 gets the wrong answer it would be fairly obvious what was lacking in the prompting given the context it thinks has the most influence. Also, good prompts would presumably have a higher weight.
Hm, I think the challenge is the pixel density is rather low, and unlike ink you don’t get any ink mixing.

Good printers are 600dpi, and 300dpi is passable, but this thing is 600x448 pixels on 5.65inch screen.

I think when pixel count is low, using rgb is more efficient.

I’m not an expert in any of this so this is just guesswork.

What reason do you give the bank or credit card company for the chargeback?
Don't take this as being glib, but isn't this the entire point of funding rounds? Demonstrate growth and talk about a few approaches to creating a business model that you're investigating, which then brings investors on as they're betting you'll find one that'll succeed?
The notion of beating jackasses with a walking cane is supremely satisfying.
Not to nitpick but I think that the part about the spf record isn’t that great.

The typical spf record has ip addresses, blocks of ip addresses, or hosts but I don’t think just v=spf1 mx ~all.
Having a stable driver ABi, and being micro-kernel based helps with scaling, which fun fact, that is what Playstation with its heavily customised FreeBSD, or Switch with their in-house OS do.

As for portable specs, if Open Group, Khronos have taught anything, is that there is a big difference between paper and real hardware/platforms.

Yep, we shipped with our customs OSes, which also had our custom workarounds for faulty undocumented firmware bugs, those that we occasionally took advantage of for demoscene events.
With Cloudflare's popularity, I'll bet if they started supporting it, others would too.

Firing people for making mistakes is just going to foster a culture of secrecy and shame. Being so quick to fire is not how you retain talent and it isn't how you foster a healthy, blameless development culture in your workplace.
i think if those are your motivations, then you definitely don't want to start a startup. You want to start a small business where you're the boss and maybe you have one or two assistants. Or maybe you just want to start a side project. As a founder, i think you very quickly lose your sense of freedom and control.

‘Strike for Black Lives’: Thousands to Walk Off Job to Protest Racial Inequality
This is just a Red Herring. The solution is not outdoor classes, redesigned schools or open windows but good governance. American's have convinced themselves that electing smart people who are skilled at government is a bad thing and that electing populist morons who will say anything to get elected is the path we should be taking. Had Hillary Clinton been elected, Americans would not be in this situation and we would not be taking about these pointless side issues. The US would have dealt with this pandemic issue months ago and not talking about these Red Herring pointless topics. Just a distraction and chasing miracle cures that don't exist.
I usually always open youtube in a private window or container tab when I need to search for something specific because of this.
We can no longer really know what the truth is, honestly. This is why the political foo-ha about "facts having a liberal bias" and all that was so poignant - it was an admission that the Internet had won.
Fwiw, you could use stack overflow DNS Control to manage your DNS records and upload them to many providers. Then the only thing you'd have to do is flip a line of code to fallback to the other DNS provider.
Certainly not, but considering there should be 100M available by the end of the year, it seems like they are scaling up the production line considerably
Masterfully written, sir or ma'am. I agree wholeheartedly.
You pretty much do two full refreshes, and then some. The first one drives the pigment (red,yellow) layers, and then the black ones.
I put together a guide on how to efficiently improve a cold email campaign
I've run a lot of email campaigns in the past and wanted to share what I've learned from my failures. I covered 6 primary aspects of an email campaign that are critical for success.
Go development, to my knowledge, is mostly a "Google shop". And a lot of the infrastructure at Google is harmonized company-wide, which means it's reasonable to treat it as one large entity that is already involved and there isn't much of a change in using another service of the same entity. As in, it doesn't add any parties to the security scenario. The information enters into Google anyway.

For other people, information on security incidents does not a priori enter into Google, and adding Google as an additional party is to be considered a cost — as is any addition of people you need to trust.

Furthermore, this is a situation where disaggregation provides a strong benefit. If a lot of people use any service, e.g. Google Forms, for vulnerability reports, that service becomes a prime target for state-level surveillance. How realistic that is is secondary — the question is what the benefit is for the security cost that you're incurring. While PGP is showing its age, I'm gonna argue that it's still perfectly fine for security handling, and by design its use means that you can pick and choose very well who can decrypt the data, and on what systems.

[Ed. P.S.:] Or just set up your own https form on a system already within your trust domain. If you're more comfortable with that than PGP, anyway.
I mean a lot of biology papers are loose on protocol details to be honest, dunno about Chemistry but for Bio it can often be difficult to exactly replicate a method because of lack of details alone.

That said I think this should change given how easy it is these days to share supplemental info online.

As far as ugly code I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of academics won't take the time to fix it up, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be released IMO. Maybe an open source community would pop up that could help clean this code for them.
Are there any plans to support electron apps. I have a react-based Electron App, and also would love to test a few things that are relevant to the app loading and getting data from disk. Just another use case to consider.
People have been making your same essential claim in different variations for literally centuries, and have always proven to be wrong by the course of change and more importantly, human creative innovation. The pie may be fixed in certain specific absolute terms but in most ways it's far from that. It has room for many unique solutions that expand the scope of how we can create more from what we have to keep our well-being relatively high for the very long term.

Also, because we have worries about our future sustainability now we should thus stop the "hubris" of planning for longevity? What an absurd argument right from square one.
I personally kept my facebook account. I check it maybe once a month. When I do look I find I have a very low tolerance for the crap on there (maybe 10 mins). They have a nice 'timeout' feature where you can basically shadowban people from your feed. I have been having to use this on some of my family and friends. My count on there is really low. If you are friends with me on facebook you are friends in real life. But I want to ask them why they went on a six post rant of something political and what would make them think their 700+ 'friends' are interested? Facebook is however 100% banned in js/cookies/html/webbugs using ublock and no-script. They do not get to follow me around. In exchange I sometimes look at their adverts when I am on their site.

Facebook did not make our timelines toxic. Our 'friends' did.
Said Mexican cartel would also have to find the appropriately skilled engineers and compute. There's a gap between having the money available, and actually executing the project.

This discussion hinges on what level of unpleasantness comes from groups who don't have $12 million in compute resources and the skills to run large scale distributed ML training, but could `git pull` a publicly available model, and hook it up to some Twitter bots.
Great post, tempted to read the book.

We just don't have the inbuilt evolutionary incentives for optimising for long-term/generational success in today's landscape.

We are new to the role of custodians of spaceship Earth and it doesn't look we are ready to be in the driver's seat.

Our genetic reward pathways guide us in the short term. But there is no dopamine hit for recycling, consuming less, polluting less. None of these things were a problem for evolution to optimise away in the past, and the speed of technological development vs timescale of evolutionary pressure to fix these issues is at odds.

I think I agree with Lovelock - best bet is to develop AI fast enough and let it take over long term optimisation for us.
The extension uses a new URL fragment addition that Chrome has shipped: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment so these links will work on any Chrome/Chromium-based browser. (in non-Chromium browsers without the extension the link will load but the fragment wont be recognized)

The hope is that this is useful and adopted by other browser engines and links like this would eventually be interoperable.
Swedish region hires medieval knights on horseback to fight coronavirus
How much of that failure was manufacturing capacity, vs. bureaucracy? IIRC there was a California lab doing some testing that was shut down by the CDC... so manufacturing wasn't the bottleneck (maybe it's now? I don't know)

Peter Thiel on Progress and Stagnation
Peter Thiel’s view on progress and stagnation in his own words, sourced from a number of his interviews and articles. This document consists only of direct quotes from Thiel, lightly edited for clarity (except for headings and where marked otherwise). Key quotes are in the summary. Compiled by Richard Ngo (@richardmcngo) and Jeremy Nixon (@jvnixon).
Sure, Arbour and others sell devices to deal with ddos and many isps have clusters of these which you can use. Of course this is a service that costs money.
Also, Netherlands is part of nine-eyes (and so are Denmark and Norway for that matter)

And it's not a Nordic country neither geographically nor in spirit. It has an economic system that's much closer than that of the UK and US than the Nordics.
The cost of the app over 2 years is 50-100 million as you can check.

That‘s like the cost of 1-2 weeks of testing.

But it‘s silly to argue that just because something necessary costs a lot we can disregard all other costs.

For 50 million you can build a school.

Sure, Germany can afford it. But the cost is ridiculously high.
The thing about is that if you create the source, then link it back to Wikipedia, then reference it in Wikipedia, it will not likely go away...

because in the first instance, all you're saying is "prove it", implying that the prior reasoning was deficient without specifying the insufficiency. that's vague, lazy, and ultimately unproductive/stifling. at least point out the deficiency, thus furthering the discussion.

the counter is not a non-furthering "citation-free expression of belief", but rather a rationale, a chain of observations leading to a reasonable conclusion, which can largely stand on its own and also furthers the discussion.
