All units are in standard metric units because it's more precise / easier to measure / more useful for the majority of people. I'll consider adding a toggle for American units later. 250 is indeed very hot, but sometimes that might the kind of temperature you need - it's the upper limit of most domestic ovens. Some measurements are in teaspoons just because that's what most of the recipes I was basing this on were using, and precision isn't really so important for those ingredients, but yeah, the inconsistency is annoying. Will consider changing that to grams later.

I'm all in for expansion of RPi ecosystem.

But personally, I would like to see improvements to smartphone linux desktop environments like Phosh/Plasma Mobile/Lomri for Raspberry Pi as this would enable anyone to plugin a GSM module, download some 3D printing smartphone designs, build themselves a nice and secure smartphone.
Does anyone have idea on what they spend so much money on? It's a well established brand, possibly can be all remote so office space isn't a big deal, mostly just content that has been tested in the real world for years.

I wish some of these companies wouldn't go VC route and just stay self-funded, would be so good when they go public so normal people can benefit from the growth!!

This was very apparent when reading the generated stories [1].

Especially the shoggoth cat dialogue, I found that one really creepy. The fragment below comes straight out from the uncanny valley:

Human: Those memes sound funny. But you didn’t include any puns. So tell me, what is your favorite cat pun?

AI: Well, the best pun for me was the one he searched for the third time: “You didn’t eat all my fish, did you?” You see, the word “fish” can be replaced with the word “cats” to make the sentence read “Did you eat all my cats?”

I didn't know that.

But in a way this further proves my point. How can one be expected to "stick to one's lane" when you have to check on each and every "expert" out there. It is quite valid to think by oneself!

It's surprising to me the GP looked at what a Nobel laureate said with trust and was still told to "stick to one's lane".

And if science facts need to be "voted on" by a majority of scientists then it stops being a fact and more like an informed guess. But that doesn't necessarily mean a layman could not reach the same or a better conclusion.
Meet-in-person perceptional experience implies at least an order of magnitude less latency than Zoom. And such low-latency communication will probably be good enough with traditional video calls, novel brain interfaces will add less value.

And yes, latency physically can't be good enough if users are on different continents. So, interestingly enough, this future synchronous communication tech can have some de-globalization impact.
If JFK were alive today, he might have half a mind to ask why that should be unacceptable to people in the US.

His 1961 inaugural address not only suggested avoiding the Sith morality of "one to embody power, the other to crave it"[1]:

> "And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved."

but even referenced a chinese chengyu, 騎虎難下:

> "remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside."

(Cynics will note that both JFK and НСХ were cancelled, just a few seasons later.

[1] Anyone know how the Rule of Two is translated in chinese? (I've never watched eps. 1-3, so I wouldn't even know what timestamps to check in subs.) It seems like it'd be amenable to the chengyu treatment, along the lines of 一霸一觊?

As long as Microsoft insists on force-feeding OS updates without permission from either users or developers, Windows is a non-starter for embedded online devices that need to maintain any semblance of reliability. For better or worse, they have taken Windows out of that particular market.
I thought you were being harsh as HN is wont to be but when I tried to use the product there was nothing. There is no product. There is a nice big announcement in 2018. There's this announcement at the end of 2019. But there is no actual functionality. It looks like vaporware.

You should also look into permaculture design (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture) as well as Sepp Holzer’s work (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holzer_Permaculture)

There is a lot more than just ecomimicry. Holzer made extensive use of those beds. He also did things like using his hogs instead of an excavator (by laying down things in the places he wants to dig, and letting the hogs have at it), or manipulating effective hardiness zones and microclimates to grow fruiting trees at elevations that are normally impossible.

As I wrote, it's probably a power balance thing - parties in the Swiss system are actually more interested to 'bind' other parties into the government so they can't go out and do populist opposition politics as effectively. Think of it as a stable local optimum that seems to be better (by being more long term oriented) than the typical government/opposition party system.

OpenAI is not non-profit. OpenAI = OpenAI Inc (non-profit) + OpenAI LP (for-profit).
Some courses have peer feedback, but I have found it lacking. In the course I'm doing, peers are expected to assess 2 other peers as a minimum, and they do things like this:

- just enter a "." or "-" to get pass the restriction of having to submit _something_

- a peer wouldn't give me full marks for an assignment, but then not leave feedback as to why, usually just a "good job!"

This frustrates me to bits. Coursera could invest in some cleverer technology here, e.g. if it sees a peer deducts points, then if sentiment analysis on the related feedback is only positive, fail validation on the form.

I've ranted a tiny bit about this on one of my course notes blogs:

> The problem with society and you is that you choose to ignore the genetic factor and only choose to examine the environmental factor because it fits with your social construct of how the world should be

In my case this is 100% wrong.

I spent several years being a Dawkins devotee and committed atheist/materialist and genetic determinist.

I've since had cause to learn more about environmental/non-genetic factors, and have undertaken extensive research and self-experimentation on ways that personality, behaviour and cognition can be influenced.

I don't discount the genetic factors, at all.

But I've learned through deep research and experience that genetics are only part of the picture, and that non-genetic factors are extremely important, because whether or not they are more than 50% influential, the fact that they are significant at all opens up huge opportunities for life improvement for people who would otherwise be written off as being genetically impaired, when their problems may not actually be genetic at all.

I accept your observation that many people's views on this topic are ideologically motivated.

I'm not one of those people.

I do observe, however, that the overwhelmingly dominant view in the biomedical science community since the discovery of DNA has been that genetics are the primary determinant of all human traits including intelligence and personality, and that this has an overwhelming influence on the kind of research that gets funded and the views that supposedly "intelligent" or "rational" people are supposed to hold and promote.

I know the people who are ideologically motivated to promote alternative positions are not offering much of value, but that doesn't mean that alternative positions of value don't exist, just that they're being drowned out by noisy dogmatists on both sides.

My main position is that it's time to break through the dogma from all quarters and embrace a balanced approach that is both scientifically grounded and that empowers people to build better lives, no matter their genetics.
Yeah, but that's the point the parent is making. "Most needed" just means "high demand market", and in markets like that it's almost impossible to do anything to upset the trajectory of housing costs - unless we have another 2008-style mortgage crash because of fraud. The lesson to take here is that putting affordable housing in excessively expensive markets might actually be a really smart idea.

A short time at 250C will make for extra crispy cookies, but the dough will have to be thin or the outside will be charred black before the inside is cooked. It takes trial and error to find the right balance. :)

A metric teaspoon is 5ml and a metric tablespoon is 15ml. They're perfectly acceptable units, not to mention convenient. Would you rather use 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda or measure 2.5 grams on a kitchen scale? I live in a fully metric country but whenever I need to use a recipe written in grams, I immediately convert them to ts/TS/cups and never look at the gram figure again.
No? I don't know where that's been established. There's still quite a few researchers on the AI safety team at OpenAI.
Same reaction here: "How is this a problem?"

I think it's in the nature of big companies to view everything as a process optimization problem and losing out on "innovators" is viewed as a gap in optimality that needs to be filled. An environment tuned to value extraction is inherently going to be hostile to exploration. Can't have your cake and eat it too, buddy.

>>6 orders of magnitude less input

>That is utterly mistaken.

I did say of data of the "same sort".

What's absolutely crazy is somehow we think of our DNA base pairs as somehow more important than the physical context that DNA ends up in (society, humans, talking, etc.)

We have the ability to be intelligent and make thoughts with 1 millionth the amount of textual data as this OpenAI GPT-3 study. Maybe... just maybe... intelligence is far more related to things other than just having more data.

I'll actually expand on this and throw this out there: intelligence is in a way antagonistic to more data.

A more intelligent agent needs less knowledge to make a better decision. It's like a function that can do the same computation with fewer inputs. A less intelligent agent requires a lookup table of previously computed intelligent things instead of figuring it out on its own. I think all these "AI" studies are glorified lookup tables.
This is the core story of the science fiction story "Ender's Game". It seemed far fetched at the time.

I think comments here are missing the point. Integrations are complicated and expensive and this is a small step in making this easier. It competes with the likes of zapier, blendoo and stichdata. The fact that ms, fb, apple and google are doing this is in my opinion more revealing than the current state of this product. Integrations are so painful for enterprise customers that companies could build a significant competitive advantage on this. If this data transfer takes off it could be a serious threat for software vendors that are knowingly hard to integrate like SAP, Oracle and Salesforce.
Unless they expect low-income people to cause issues, why would housing price decrease?

It should increase because the amount of land of normal price decreases.

Also, I always joke that you can help lower housing price in the area by causing non-offense nuisance. Walking shirtless and talking gibberish to yourself loudly. It will probably help a little.
I think the GP is referring to a specific ideology which (like all others of its ilk) involves supernatural entities.

Personally, I think the situation merits a bit more nuance than pinning the blame on just one ideology -- but this is a discussion I would not want to start, so I'll just leave it at that. (Edited for clarity and typos.).

Agreed to lack of innovation and creativeness in this world of mass production. Even women receive a great level of innovation with changes in sizes and some fundamental changes but for men, it's the same 3 pieces of clothes which are important (because that's what is available) - jeans, shirts, tees.
Pockets is a good way to start but this definitely needs to expanded to the fundamental core.
This is a perfect demonstration on how subjectively we interpret text. Our minds fill in the blanks, we read what we want to read as long as the text is above some certain threshold of coherence, that apparently GPT-3 has tipped over. This proves reading depends on the reader, the writer only throws clues semi-randomly and the meaning we assemble ourselves.
The descendants of GPT-3 will be using the comments on this page to get new ideas.

I do agree with you. We, as somewhat intelligent beings, do not base our thinking on words or language AFAIK, even though it's our best way to convey ideas to others. And we learn through experience, way faster than GPT-3 does, with fewer shots. It looks like the attention mechanisms are what made these models actually start to understand things... But those attention mechanisms are still very raw and mainly designed to be easy to execute on current hardware, I wonder how fast will we refine that.
Finally it looks like, once trained, these models don't learn when we use them. It definitely doesn't learn through experience and that's a major limitation on how intelligent it can be.
Perhaps you can add something about ARIA tags (accessibility).

This isn't shocking at all - recruiters used to come to my high school and then eventually they set up an ROTC. I've even seen them put out attractive girls in the park at recruiting booths with giveaways, not surprised they'll do whatever they can to attract people.

I have an aversion to these tactics because I know I sure as hell wasn't mature enough at 18 or even a decade later to be in a position where I could be deciding to kill someone in combat and I don't like the idea of kids being recruited with some slimy tactics, but I do think Silicon Valley needs to do a better job of working with DoD and the US govt, I sure as hell would rather the US be the undisputed world leader than Russia or China

They also sponsor a bunch of sporting events. They've even done the video game thing in the past (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Army). I suppose you could argue that Twitch is a little different, but the idea is the same. They are trying to reach platforms that are popular among their recruitment demographic- young Americans. They aren't going to waste their money trying to recruit people with ads on the Hallmark Channel.

Can you make such steel by using clean air? Or it's not possible to purify it from radionuclides?
"More than you ever wanted to know" is a great name for an article format, where a single topic is explored in depth. I don't think there's any other term with that meaning in English, except, maybe, "monograph", but that doesn't make such a nice title.
Besides predictable sentence structure, GPT-3 writes like George R. R. Martin: Interesting premises, solid setup but then it devolves into rambling tangents and never quite delivers the concluding action that ties everything together.

Lots of examples I've seen have phrases like "see table below". Of course there's no table and it's hard to imagine how there could be.

But GPT is trained on internet content and the internet is full of terrible writing that never gets to the point. I doubt there's any way to know how much is "not actually understanding the subject matter" vs. "learning bad writing from bad writers". I'm inclined to believe the majority is the former but there's got to be a little of the latter sprinkled in.
It tends to be excessively expensive to build in those markets, which is what has led to the excessively high prices in the first place.
The Battle of Midway was fought in spectacularly deep water, on the order of 17,000-18,000 feet deep. This would make salvaging difficult, if not impossible. Scapa Flow is shallow enough for divers.

Once we run out of cheaply salvageable steel, we'll likely turn to steel smelting processes that do not introduce air into the steel. These processes require dramatically more energy and are thus more expensive, but will still be way less expensive than attempting to salvage at deep ocean depths.
Bitcoin provided the world a way to transfer value over the internet, that's censorship resistant and completely trustless. If that's not disruptive, I don't know what is. GPT-3 is smart enough to understand that.
People think military is cool, even those who are against the military are donned in milspic gear and want to train with their tactics. Twitch makes it cooler. I don't understand why its so upsetting, I thought the military was cool before they were on twitch, before I watched movies on them just because as a kid I thought they were strong ant powerful people that excelled at war, kill or be killed. Military gets great treatment and I don't see what the problem is. Do we consider action figures of GI Joe a recruitment problem?

>I had just reminded viewers of the United States’ history of atrocities around the globe, and helpfully provided a link to the Wikipedia page for US war crimes.

Can you name any military that hasn't done anything wrong? Not unique to any military

>The practices employed on Twitch by military e-sports teams are part of a system by which recruiters target children in unstable and/or disadvantaged situations. Recruiters take advantage of the poor seeking steady income, the vulnerable longing for stability, and the undocumented living in fear because of their citizenship status. Now, at a time when all those factors are magnified by a pandemic that has left half the country out of work and over 30 percent unable to afford their housing payments, conditions are ripe for recruiters to prey on anxious youth.

Prey on anxious youth? Seriously, it's like they assume nobody wants to join the military for any reason, if it wasn't for the pandemic. Giving young disadvantaged kids discipline when their parents don't isn't bad. The article brings up military sexual trauma and suicide as if that is not going to happen anywhere but the military, or if its a normal thing. I have family in the military, in fact that is how my family immigrated to the US due to a great uncle serving in the military.

>“Twitch is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my career, and it’s because you’re live for hours on end, talking to these people in the chat. You develop a community and know your individual chatters. There is an ecosystem in every Twitch channel,” Piker said. “Recruiting in this predatory way is a violation of [the users’] safety.”

Seriously? You can find that kind of community on chaturbate or any of the sex streaming sites.

I was very confused as I had read the title as '... with Datadog" (the monitoring tool).
