Yes, GPT-2 could also do that. It generally works best if you give it some examples to start off. For example, I actually ran the following prompt through the full GPT-2. Everything after "How long ago did Elasmosaurus live?" is GPT-2 talking.

Elasmosaurus is a genus of plesiosaur that lived in North America during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, about 80.5 million years ago. The first specimen was discovered in 1867 near Fort Wallace, Kansas, US, and was sent to the American paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, who named it E. platyurus in 1868. The generic name means "thin-plate reptile", and the specific name means "flat-tailed". Cope originally reconstructed the skeleton of Elasmosaurus with the skull at the end of the tail, an error which was made light of by the paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, and became part of their "Bone Wars" rivalry. Only one incomplete Elasmosaurus skeleton is definitely known, consisting of a fragmentary skull, the spine, and the pectoral and pelvic girdles, and a single species is recognized today; other species are now considered invalid or have been moved to other genera.

Where did the Elasomosaurus live?
North America

Where was the first Elasomosaurus discovered?
Fort Wallace, Kansas

How long ago did Elasmosaurus live?
80.5 million years ago

When was Elasomosaurus discovered?
1867

Was Elasmosaurus capable of leaping?
Yes, the two small, sharp teeth on either side of the lower jaw contain the necessary enzymes to propel the animal upwards by using muscles. However, in the developing skeleton, the upper and lower jaws had a tendency to grip the body,

You don't need to do the assembly to design and take delivery of multifunction robots. Just ask ABB [1]. The IP, the design, and the schematics are the valuable part, the assembly is totally and utterly commodity. A 3D printer, a diffuser, etc, is equally effective in any country it happens to be located, and UPS is happy to meet you there for pickup.

We've started to see this return already, with Foxconn and TSMC setting up factories in the US (with no people in them of course -- because why would they put people in them?).

The stress of non-cummuting may have been offset by the stress of 'OMG there's a pandemic' - a more existential kind of things.

The Scientologists have some very aggressive rules about 'quiet' around baby and birth, rather extremist, but I think there is something to it.

Even in the womb, we are picking up information - imagine all the noise, hormones, moving around etc. we get from pre-birth to age 1.

I wonder if we should head out to the countryside 3 months before and after.

It would be powerful to see more research into this, because the results could be revelatory not just in relation to birth, but in other life activities.

Edit: I'm not suggesting there's any 'Science' in 'Scientology', rather, it's an expansive and odd cult with just a ton on out-of-the-box thinking, a lot of it initiated way back when treatment of mental illness was actually draconian (ie lobotomies, arbitrary detention, brutal treatment) and there are often 'kernels of truth' in some of these things. The 'quiet during and around birthing' always struck me as something actually rational in a way. Not scientific either but Glenn Gould attributed his musical genius to the fact his mother would play softly while he was still the womb (thus he's literally been playing 'before he was born') and I don't think it's unreasonable at all to think 'maybe there is something to it'. Early childhood events have incredible impact on our lives. I think of it like 'the time when the kernel code is established' and things gone wayward at that level cause idiosyncrasies for the rest of one's life.
Keep in mind the IMPACT report is the cost, not the amount spent on fixes. It's still pretty significant though. There's some internal discussion on updating the report but the arguments over spend vs cost are raging.

Yup. We can't just send money to each other via the bank, unless your bank happens to participate in the Zelle network, and you want to send less than $5,000 or so (it depends on the bank and your standing with said bank).

It's another super backwards part of US banking.
I was thinking more "broadcast we are under attack, or pilot unconscious" as the communication, and land (subject to external control?)

They've had autoland for a while. Maybe in this context it means the nearest ILS runway, or nearest externally directed ILS runway. (just not landing in the side of a skyscraper)
Air pollution is something to be taken very seriously,

Regarding that (and since we are hackers here), I bought myself one of these last year:

https://m5stack.com/products/pm-2-5-sensor-usb-power-sht20

Pretty affordable and it works really well, readings match another device I have which was much more costly.

Since then I turn it on from time to time, I live in an apartment near a highway, I am impressed by:

How much air quality changes between days, during the day and depending on whether there's traffic or not,

how much it changes due to household activities (cooking, cleaning).

and how it changes when someone is smoking, even outside of my unit.

Thanks to this I have developed a routine of opening/closing windows at certain times that allows me to improve the average air quality inside my place. If I had the time (and some actuators) I could probably automate that, that would be cool yeah :D.

I highly recommend getting one of these or a similar sensor. Also, I'm looking to find something similar but capable of measuring CO and CO2, if anyone knows let me know.

Ryzen processor overclocking under Linux
CoreFreq developments are bringing new features to alter the P0 P-State frequency of AMD Zen family. This will change the Processor base clock and thus the kernel major variables such as the loops_per_jiffy are being recalibrated using unique & hand crafted asm TSC algorithms.

The state of developments had made possible to increase the 3950X straight to its 4.7 GHz, single Core. TSC clock source is a WiP.

I think it's simpler than that: they probably weigh in popularity to some degree already. It's a very cheap way to be able to get to a point where you can say, "it's not optimal, but at least it's not awful".

I'm not sure I'd describe Keysight as a success story of cutting edge R&D, I can't speak for the current Agilent as I'm not a chemist. They and other namesake test equipment brands seem to only focus on the ultra high end and the lower to even midrange models are frequently white labeled products from overseas competitors with a more polished UI. And they're not even always pushing their top end stuff further, their top end multimeter is virtually unchanged since 1990.

Of course, no, they aren’t down, it’s just that people that absolutely should be going to the hospital aren’t and they’re endangering their lives trying to avoid COVID-19.

I wish I could tell you how to remember it from first principles, but I can’t do what I did was burn the A = L + (OE/Equity) accounting equation into my head. Then I remember that the when my bank balance goes up, the bank speaks of a credit in their accounts which is a debit to assets in my account. Then L + OE must be credit accounts.

Why are OE and L on the same side? Well to finance an asset, say a new car for your business, the company would either take on some debt (L) or you’d put in some of your own money (OE) in exchange for more ownership. I don’t know if that’s more confusing or less
> Plus, there's a wireless on board, and we're in a busy shipping lane. Plenty of time to get help. Plenty of lifeboats, too. We can offload people onto another ship and row back for more.

FWIW You probably shouldn't realistically expect to offload large numbers of people to another vessel at sea, that is extremely hazardous. It was hazardous in 1912 and it's still dangerous in 2020.

If you're at sea and the master expects the vessel to reach a port, even if it's badly damaged, they will resist trying to evacuate passengers because they rightly expect some of the passengers would be injured or even killed in the attempt.

An uncontrolled fire, which is one of the worst problems you might have at sea short of actually capsizing†, is still not enough for a master to conclude the passengers must evacuate if it seems possible to reach a port instead. The intention will be - unless it becomes apparent this is impossible - to make for a port and keep passengers from inhaling smoke or burning to death meanwhile. Despite being unable to extinguish the fire your fire fighting teams may be able to buy you enough time to reach port.

Passengers often think of lifeboats first when anything goes wrong (perhaps partly because of the famous Titanic disaster in fact) but they are almost never the right choice, in fact Titanic probably harmed maritime safety to an extent by putting lifeboats top of mind for the general public.

† Titanic happened very slowly, but this is by no means the rule. And if a ship capsizes quickly lifeboats do you no good whatsoever. The Herald of Free Enterprise had about 90 seconds between the crew first realising there was a serious problem and the ship laying on its side - that wasn't even long enough to understand the situation and make an SOS radio call, let alone order passengers into lifeboats.

So while explicit imagery is not the norm, nor is it normative, it’s not unusual and is to be expected.
You're right. From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupling_capacitor

Since capacitors differ in their high-frequency characteristics (and capacitors with good high-frequency properties are often types with small capacity, while large capacitors usually have worse high-frequency response), decoupling often involves the use of a combination of capacitors. For example in logic circuits, a common arrangement is ~100 nF ceramic per logic IC (multiple ones for complex ICs), combined with electrolytic or tantalum capacitor(s) up to a few hundred μF per board or board section.
Cool. Thanks for letting me know.
I find it hard to believe that such a well informed crowd with health dose of skepticism as HN can be outright dismissal of that article just because no evidence has been revealed, and because experts have dismissed the story so far.

A favorite story on HN, this listening device was not detected for seven years, despite experts extensively looking for it [0]

[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

As a side note, we tend to judge an article if it goes against our belief, but are willing to give it a pass otherwise. Case in point, plenty of Bloomberg's articles about Boeing or climate change being discussed but don't think I've seen anyone questioning their premise or evidence. I'm guilty of this as well.
Here is entirely anecdotal speculation as to why this is happening (credentials - mom of two). In the late stages of pregnancy the uterus starts preparing for birth by doing Braxton hicks contractions. The uterus flexes its muscles. They get stronger and physically push the baby down like a ping pong ball coming out of a balloon. BH contractions are also like clock ticks to pregnancy, the closer you get to delivery the more frequent and stronger they get. If you get dehydrated, they accelerate. If you get stressed out or exhausted, they accelerate. If you skip a meal, they accelerate. Late stage pregnancy mothers legitimately need less physical strain and more opportunity to take care of their bodies or the baby comes early. Keeping the same active pace of work for a few weeks in the third trimester can cost years of additional effort and suffering as a premature baby may accrue permanent damage. Remote work allows for your body to rest while your brains can work at full speed for longer. It is challenging to make “remote“ work right now, but for my part, I’m constantly prototyping and brainstorming ways to make the experience better. We can do so much more in our lifetimes if reduce the dangerous commutes.

This is where the manufacturing monitoring guys know a lot of stuff. Maybe statistical process control can help, maybe some other type of fault modeling is more appropriate.

Whichever way, rest assured the manufacturing industry has studied this over Styx and back. Look up what they found out!
There were a lot of DYI computer schemes in USSR in my childhood. Mostly because getting your hands onto a ready-made one outside workplaces and some very advanced schools was nearly impossible, but there were a bunch of schemes published in popular technical journals. From those, with luck, some access to electronic components (also not always easy but easier than getting the whole computer) and decent skills with a soldering iron, one could make a working computer. Output would go to the TV, and some had persistent storage using a cassette recorder. Since there was no internet, of course, if you want a game, or another program (but it usually would be a game), you have to copy it from your friends (and if you ask where the first friend got it - no idea... probably somebody got it from official developers or brought from overseas? but all games of that period I've seen were copied from friends).
Arrays of structs fit pretty naturally into many languages, but structs of arrays (and keeping corresponding values in order) are unusual enough to need plumbing that probably isn't there.
Both Haskell and Rust are poor examples because one has to focus more on the notation (i.e. types, declarations, etc).

Python is better.
Yes and auto land capability is not always available. Even today object avoidance is a hard issue. What happens when the aircraft flies into a flock of birds or some other obstacle, like another aircraft on the way to the runway. What happens when two planes both push the button at the same time and decide to both use the same runway? Autopilot even in aviation is a misnomer.
Thanks for letting me know about the typo.

The dot space is used to mark arguments since some arguments span multiple lines but are connected. For example, in

Theorem:
. for: x
where: y
then: z
. 'some statement'

the 'for:where:then' group together is one argument, while the 'some statement' item is the second argument. The dot is needed to distinguish from

Theorem:
for: x
where: y
then: z
'some statement'

where it is hard to tell where one argument stops and another starts.
... which recursively enumerates the contents and adds up their sizes.
Intel's 14nm processors are only competitive for low-core count, high-clock frequency applications, and only if you disregard power usage.

For use cases where power usage is an important component of performance (e.g., mobile, servers), AMD hardware _substantially_ outperforms Intel's.

You definitely need electronics industry at least. But designing the schemes and writing the software can be done by hobbyists up to some level.

>Humans weren't designed for it.

I don't know why, but I really love coding. I have an expected output of 0% in my mind, so even the most mundane tasks can be fun for me because I'm satisfied with producing any output. I try to learn something new with every task, even if it's just a file path or simple SQL call.

And if it's some really horrible spaghetti code abstraction upon abstraction, then my 0% success expectation is even more important for my morale.

If my manager isn't happy with the output? Quit and get a higher salary somewhere else :) That's the market we live in right now.

I'd previously read that Fibonacci had helped popularize the hindu-arabic notation in Europe. Wikipedia says "In 1202, he completed the Liber Abaci (Book of Abacus or The Book of Calculation)," which included lessons and examples.

Interestingly, he grew up with a merchant father based in Northern Africa and had internalized it.

I thought of this, but couldn't find a nice way to fit this into the syntax.

That is,

Theorem: "some text"

is the same as

Theorem:
. "some text"

Thus it would be hard to distinguish a named theorem with one statement

Theorem:
. "some name"
. "statement 1"

from an un-named statement with two statements:

Theorem:
. "statement1"
. "statement2"

So for now I'm leaving the name in the metadata section, but I'm open to putting the title higher if I can come up with a nice way to do so.

This is also FUD. There's no guarantee that Microsoft wouldn't stand on their rights, demand their statutory $50k/infringement, and refuse to sell you any more licenses going forward. It's not likely they'd do that - but it's not likely that the author of an AGPL library would do it either.
