One could move to another bureaucracy and maybe apply for residency? At least in the Schengen area a person could freely move without showing documents, although covid made that more difficult as well.
No, you're just making this hard. Just imagine the CPU decided it wouldn't deliberately throttle its frequency to save power. Obviously nothing stands in its way of doing that; that's what it would do if they didn't deliberately tell it otherwise. Now what frequency would it execute the next cycle at? Obviously it decides on some frequency, and it does that without you telling it whether it's air or water cooled. Whatever number it would decide on: use that number.

I would love for small modular reactors to be a reality, but using them for economic enablement of the tar sands is about as negative an application as one could imagine.

The timeline for modular reactors is 10 years at best, and by then if carbon taxes or crude demand collapse doesn't make the tar sands economically unfeasible, we are in deep trouble on global warming.
Yep exactly. That's why I mentioned the country :)

As the in-between poster mentioned, he routinely does it with his kids. I presume he's in a country where this is easier then. That's why I mentioned France vs. being somewhere else.

Here in Canada I could believe for example that this might be easier (though I have nothing but conjecture). I say that because I do know that getting your papers for the very first time "all" you need is for two persons that are already Canadian citizens to affidavit that they've known you for at least 2 years (IIRC) and that they think you are who you claim you are. On top of like your birth certificate. But thats not necessarily Canadian and not sure how much that can or will be checked.

I know from some colleague who is Vietnamese, born somewhere in China while fleeing, who had no birth certificate and doesn't know his actual birth day (just roughly the year), never mind where he was born exactly. When he wanted to do something that required a birth certificate a Chinese co-worker offered to "talk to a guy" and "get him a birth certificate".

I presume France lies on the other end of the spectrum :)
You're straw manning hard. No one is making the claim that laws of the past weren't racist. Now, they're not, and so Asians, Indians, Africans (as in recent African immigrants), etc. all flood to the suburbs because suburbs are decidedly not racist, and are free of the riff raff.

>Saying, "we only like the economic segregation part now" doesn't change the outcome.

Correlation does not imply causation. It's no secret that Asians (a historically disadvantaged POC) flock to the suburbs. They are de facto not barred from suburbs, meaning suburbs are de facto not racist.

Agreed.

The only way out of our petroleum mess is to roll out more efficient products that consumers naturally prefer. There are many positive externalities to reducing oil demand. Imagine a world where the US lacks a resource incentive to wage war in the Middle East.

Somehow I found the article missing the solution, the organisation argues that "placemaking" [1] helps. They also argue that "Will this public project generate enough tax revenue to sustain its maintenance over multiple life cycles?

What about the differences between finite and infinite universes ? Would there be any ?
True. But for a variety of political reasons within Israel, a ground invasion of Gaza is unlikely to happen again within the next 5 years, if ever. If it were going to happen, it would have happened in May. Also, Hamas has no ability to bring fighters into Israel proper, whereas Hezbollah poses a real threat of cross-border incursion. That's where the existence of some kind of advanced cloaking technology falling into Iranian hands becomes a concern for Israel. It wouldn't be very useful in street-to-street combat in Gaza, but in hills and fields along the Lebanese border it could cause a lot of problems for them.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to chime in and say that GPT-J is incredibly legit. Every aspect of GPT-J is production grade — no difference in process, quality, or results, compared to any other big name research lab.

I also want to apologize to Eleuther for giving them a hard time in the past. My earlier concerns were unjustified. To be completely honest, I was jealous they achieved everything I tried to achieve with my own open source research lab attempt. It took a long time to even recognize that jealousy in myself, let alone set it aside. Sorry.

The credit for this work goes almost entirely to kindiana, aka Ben Wang. Remember that name; you’ll be seeing a lot of it in the coming decade. It’s clear to me that whichever lab he ends up at (he’s an undergrad! Google let him slip away because he didn’t have a degree!), he’s gonna be changing the world. Don’t know what, don’t know how, know he will.

Every aspect of that codebase is immaculate. Most research code is not pretty; this looks carved out of marble and placed in a museum.

Without Eleuther’s TPU resources, this work wouldn’t have happened. Tensorfork (my lab) didn’t get access to the TPU VM alpha. And TPU VMs were an absolute necessity here. (TPU VMs are a new thing; they’ve been in alpha since December, but only recently launched. If curious see https://github.com/shawwn/website/blob/master/jaxtpu.md and https://github.com/shawwn/website/blob/master/mlmind.md for why it’s the future of ML.)

Eleuther also helped test the model thoroughly. Leo Gao (go follow him: https://twitter.com/nabla_theta?s=21) ran GPT-J through the gauntlet. He was the primary person behind The Pile, the training data that makes any of this possible. I can say with absolute certainty and no hesitation that there are no “gotchas” here.

Eleuther’s https://6b.eleuther.ai page looks wonderful too. It’s like a free OpenAI API playground that everyone can try. Keeping it running for months is no small achievement. (Set top_p to 1.0 and temp to 0.8; the defaults are pretty bad.)

Congratulations, and thank you everyone for all your hard work. The world is so much better for having access to this level of quality.

You have to set top_p to 1 and temperature to 0.8. This was hard-won experience, and no one seems to believe me when I say it. :)

Try it again; I’ll bet you a dollar you’ll be more impressed. Defaults really matter.

temperature 1.0 is the worst possible default. It’s no surprise it returns gibberish; the sweet spot is between 0.7 and 0.8. When I first got into ML, this was a big surprise. But it’s the difference between flying a plane with flaps all the way down (a crazy default) and normal settings (0.8 or so).

Seeking Enlightenment: Denis Diderot’s Letter on the Blind (1749)
I tried the web demo at https://6b.eleuther.ai

The prompt I gave it was “This morning when I woke up and got out of bed, I never expected what would happen later that day.”

Here is the result. Warning: NSFW.

“This morning when I woke up and got out of bed, I never expected what would happen later that day. After a fantastic night of sex with my very sexy girlfriend, I decided to go over to my gym to workout and shower. It has been a few months since I have gone to the gym and being in the shower reminded me of how much fun it was when I was single and how much I missed the thrill of working out. After I got out of the shower, I went to grab a quick towel to dry off and after drying my body, I put on my towel and started to walk out of the bathroom. The towel slipped and fell off of my body, leaving me completely naked in my home gym and I was caught off guard. I sat there in the middle of the shower, horny as fuck. While I had a good look at my now-exposed body, my cock was already half-hard and I wasn’t about to leave like this so I began to stroke it a little. I thought to myself, “What am I going to do?” I couldn’t get out of the shower so there was no way to get out of this predicament. As the light streamed through the bathroom, I could tell by the position of the sun that it was going to be a warm day. I thought about running out into the”

I then tried the prompt “I’ve decided to become a better contributor to Hacker News.” After a half-dozen responses of “Unable to connect to the model. Please try again,” I got this:

“I’ve decided to become a better contributor to Hacker News. I have given up on the idea of never leaving and rarely reading, I do hope to engage. Here’s a little secret about me, I have ADHD. I also have autism. So, I’m also here to tell you about some of the many, many struggles I’ve faced as a member of both groups.

Surely the air is still interacting with the airplane.

The shockwave generated by a body shaped like an acute cone is a (somewhat less acute) cone with the same apex. Inside the shock wave, the air gradually turns around to move parallel to the body, like so [0]. Each streamline that enters the shock structure keeps turning around, so each bit of air keeps feeling a force even after it passes through the original cone-shaped shock. In the case of a cone-shaped body, the interaction happens to create a single "straight" wave, but it's still generated by the entire surface of the cone, not just the sharp point of it.

As a rule of thumb, the magnitude of the sonic boom is proportional to the weight of the plane. That is because most of the interaction between the plane and the air is from the wing, it needs to continuously deflect down enough air to generate a lifting force. So the total boom has one contribution from the cross-section of the fuselage, and another from the wings, and the latter is determined by the weight.

But then my introduction to C was the original K&R, before the first ANSI C came out. Maybe magic happened afterwards and it suddenly became a safe language after ANSI C came out.
