Yes, they mention this in the Codex paper [1]:

> Since Codex is evaluated on natural language prompts, we hypothesized that it would be beneficial to fine-tune from the GPT-3 (Brown et al., 2020) model family, which already contains strong natural language representations. Surprisingly, we did not observe improvements when starting from a pre-trained language model, possibly because the finetuning dataset is so large. Nevertheless, models fine-tuned from GPT converge more quickly, so we apply this strategy
for all subsequent experiments.

It's not completely clear exactly what relationship the Codex models and Copilot have to one another, but given that the Copilot model is internally named "Cushman" (going by the API URL), which is the same name as the faster of OpenAI's two Codex models, they're probably trained the same way.

I wouldn’t say “beta” unless your software is really buggy and subject to change. Then I would make that really clear (“our software is incomplete and unstable”) and accept that I’m going to have less users.

You could also say version 0.x, which isn’t very noticeable.

“Beta” has kind of lost its meaning, since plenty of really buggy software has been released for a long time, and plenty of amazing software is still in beta or 0.x because the developers want it to be absolutely perfect.

It's more like "this land is mine now, we can work out a deal where you tend to it in exchange for an agreed upon cut".

Your original categorization is apt in describing how property taxes and the USDA farm subsidies work, but not free enterprise.
In prehistoric days, killing another man to protect your own food was "right".

The Aztecs had no problem sacrificing people, and many sought it out (it's theorized) given that it guaranteed you a place next to the sun and thus in paradise, eternally drunk.

Extremists even today believe in a paradise-after-death if they sacrifice themselves for god. To a lesser extent, self-flagellation (whipping oneself for religious purposes) is still prevalent in many cultures and sects of e.g. Christianity/Catholocism today.

"Right" and "wrong" change over time, and with culture. Thus they are subjective - there is no objective "right" and "wrong". In this sense, your last sentence relates two identical things - what you might agree with and disagree with are your own perception of "right" and "wrong".

It's a somewhat flawed and (in my opinion) dangerous way of thinking about social interaction and morality.

E: Because I know this will be mis-interpreted, let me be clear: the website in question is, in my opinion, abhorrent - but I think it's dangerous to celebrate a large company taking it down on the grounds of morality. I understand it was taken down as it specifically violated a pre-existing clause in their ToS which makes it make sense in this case. But to say that this is a great thing and we should do this for people that are "wrong" is beginning down a path that nobody really wants.

It's an old story that a huge amount of fundraising is done around (and before) demo day. At least: that was very true 5 years ago.
I moderated the DID subreddit for about two years and there was incredible controversy over this constantly in the community and in the mod team. The mod team wanted to have absolutely no discussion of it, while most of the community wanted to either complain or fight with DID youtuber followers. I don't miss moderating that community.

The general consensus in the wider text and image based DID community is that most of them are faking, but we don't have a way of knowing for sure or how many because of just how inconsistent the presentation of the disorder can be in real life. You'd never know I had DID if you met me in person, but I have a good friend who is disabled because she can't function on her own.

The important thing to remember about DID is that it's caused by childhood trauma, abuse, and long term patterns of neglect as simple as "crying it out" or as significant as parentifying. It's not interesting times we live it it has been this way this is often generational, psychology is just finally catching up in this regard.

I was raised (and abused) by my aunt who was only continuing the cycle of her and my mom's abuse that she faced, continued by her father who was abused because of traumas his parents faced on the Trail of Tears. They both described feeling like they had more than one person in them, that their age was not aligned with their body, and the stories of abuse they both told me align. My dad was abused by the Boston Archdiocese, his psychiatric records claimed he referred to himself in turns by John, Jack, and other names, claiming they would act on his behalf. They called it schizophrenia then because of a backlash against diagnosing DID after Sybil and other films reached mainstream.
It's really more about how cynical and calculative the entire show is to manipulate the fragile ego of its target audience. And also: this is just my opinion. I'm not presenting it as some immutable truth.
This will probably follow the same pattern as companies’ response to politicians who gave credence to the election lies: stop donations —-> some time passes —-> resume donations.
Weigh it however you feel is necessary. I've just grown to hate clicking around in arbitrary web UIs to input arbitrary configuration models, where the only way to make things easier the next time is to create free form notes. And then when having a problem with a device, or needed additional functionality, the only solution is to throw it out and buy a new one.

When you're doing price calculations on the drives, don't forget to take into account the cost of a drive bay, and additional electricity used. In other words, it helps to prefer larger capacity drives that are similar $/GB. I was just surprised by 6TB drives because I built my array 4 years ago out of 8TB drives and have seen that even larger drives are coming down in price. In your situation I might opt for a two 14TB drive mirror, with the idea that you could reuse those drives as part of a raidz later. Although that's easy to say for someone else's array.

And yeah, having to build the machine is a bit of work. But I find it less work to know what went into it than to having to modify it a few years down the line and discover what the builders did. In general I favor spending time up front on my own schedule, rather than having to spend it later when I just need to get something to work so I can accomplish something else.

At any rate, enjoy your new hardware and plentiful storage space!
Racism and actual crime gets conflated, and that is a major problem within America.

If someone is the victim of a crime, it should not matter whether that crime was racially-motivated or not. Serve justice, full stop. Don't feed into racial realism.

Things get really bad when it gets twisted to the point of "who cares about this particular crime, RACISM is the problem!" This leads to injustice because focus is shifted from the real crime to an abstract ideological debate. And it happens all the time.

Racism is a problem when it obstructs justice, whether it's Jim Crow laws that are literally racist, or "woke" media grifting that muddies the water with race realism.

Here's a quick cure for wokeness. Make them live around the people they champion. The smart ones leave to Cypress or New Zealand as fast as they can. From far away they open the gates to the zoo and let out the animals for some sick senile revenge. The dumb ones walk right in. In a few days, they're cooked in a pot and eaten under an ever doubling murder rate.

Yes, we are, and the author of the NYT article seems weirdly unaware of that. However, the issue here, I’m sure, is that Facebook’s algorithms don’t classify videos of white humans as involving “primates” as well.
I'm currently trying GPT-3 Codex, and while it blurbs non-sense sometimes (and sometimes just dump somebody else code), it is actually quite impressive in its ability to understand natural language and convert it to functioning code.
I have a feeling that what the people who are "diagnosing themselves with Tourettes" are really trying to say here, then (i.e. "what they'd say if they were all trained psychiatrists"), isn't that they think they have exactly the Tourette Syndrome symptom-cluster; but rather that they think they may have a lesser form of some particular as-yet-unknown pathology that, in its full extent, would be an etiology underlying the syndrome of Tourettes; and that this is causing a cluster of symptoms for them that is similar-but-not-identical to the Tourette Syndrome symptom-cluster — similar-enough that there's nothing really better to describe it by than by comparison to Tourette Syndrome. (Though certainly doctors would come up with a unique name for it in the DSM-VI, if it turned out to not be induced mass Munchhausen's.)
>a bit hard to swallow when they've stacked the deck

Yeah, it's the reasonableness standard that doesn't seem to fly. I mean I get that they're making a claim about who's enforcing, but all of these people declaring that the claim creates some grand legal crisis is what I'm not getting. It just seems so patently clear what's going on here that the claim is absurd on its face.

I assume part of the reason for blowing it up though, is that it is such an egregious violation that even the attempt should be characterized as serious and dangerous.

>on the constitutionality of the law until a case has been brought and enforcement attempted.

Yeah this is head exploding. I don't know what the precedent is here, but it seems there's some standard or mechanism for SCOTUS getting involved pre-harm. I mean, if the law legalized murder...

And, at a minimum that's what injunctions are for--avoiding potentially irreparable harms before matters can be fully adjudicated. Denying an abortion is certainly irreparable.

That's why their refusal to grant a stay feels as ominous as it does.

Why do people eat horse dewormer? Mostly because people are desperate to do anything that doesn’t involve taking an actual vaccine.
Depends on the scope of your MVP, but nowadays I would start in Bubble.io if it’s a web app or Adalo if going native.

Use the prototype you create there for validation and early traction, and then consider bringing that to a tech co-founder. It’s far easier to find a tech co-founder if you have shown the initiative to build a prototype and have early traction.

Note that none of your options are ‘easy’ per se - all three entail a lot of work…
I’ve been following ivermectin since about June 2020. I’m still not convinced and haven’t taken it because there have no home run studies as far as I’ve been concerned, but the sheer absurd propaganda calling it horse dewormer is really suspicious as hell.

It’s one of the safest drugs known to man. Literally billions of doses have been given to humans in poor countries. If you take the animal version, of course you would get sick just like taking the animal version of antibiotics.

The key thing to remember is that ivermectin has more positive outcomes from trials (50+) than remdesivir ever did. In fact remdesivir doesn’t even appear to work, and yet remdesivir was approved after a single positive trial. And I purchased Gilead stock in 2020 because of remdesivir potential but it is clear by now it doesn’t work.

All the media bashing of ivermectin as “horse dewormer” when remdesivir has no such ire but is costing us billions is really really suspicious. It reeks of when the media was bashing the lab leak theory which was ultimately wrong.
Well there is that Gawker vs. Thiel story where Thiel purposefully destroyed Gawker because they said mean things and he decided an internet without Gawker is better.

He's probably right that the internet is better without Gawker, but it's also a good example of what may happen when you upset successful people and companies enough.
This goes in both directions, though, and it's a problem with modern internet-fueled politics and discourse. No one truly speaks for a group in many cases, but nonetheless a group can be seen to have a certain character and set of values. Surely amorphous groups cannot be beyond criticism?

> No actually I’m arguing that “crowd sourcing law enforcement” isn’t a novel government tactic at all

Yeah, which is a completely separate conversation.

The biggest problem with this bill isn't that it crowdsources law enforcement, it's that in crowdsourcing law enforcement it provides a novel mechanism for passing laws that can't be preemptively challenged by citizens in front of the Supreme Court.

That is a novel issue. Citizens reporting people to the police, or even citizens collectively attacking, shunning, or boycotting socially unacceptable behaviors is not new. Citizens having standing under the law to sue each other over unconstitutional laws is a new thing.

Cancel culture doesn't give random people standing to claim damages against anyone they want in a courtroom. This law does.

> but it hasn’t enabled anything that wasn’t already a problem.

So California already gave citizens standing to sue each other over owning any gun? It already allowed citizens to sue each other going out in public without a mask? People can be sued by anyone in the state if they go to church and they're not vaccinated? And it removed limits on the number of lawsuits so that citizens could sue the same companies/people multiple times?

Remind me, after Apple refused to decrypt the San Bernadino phone, were they flooded with multiple lawsuits from ordinary citizens that couldn't be dismissed under anti-SLAPP laws, where citizens didn't need to prove standing for the lawsuit, and where Apple was barred from collecting attorney fees even if they won?

People cancelling each other on Twitter, or submitting tips to law enforcement, or even getting people fired over their political beliefs is not the same thing as the Supreme Court signing off on a legal framework for passing unconstitutional laws.
I'm a little confused on what you're proposing of them robbing?
I assume it gives you the ability to manipulate the unit registries, work with multiple registries in the same application, etc. Mutable state is one thing, but holding the mutable state in a non-global user-facing object is better than keeping it global and hidden.
A recent small Lebanese clinical trial also showed effectiveness. Naturally the doctors administered the human formulation, not veterinary.

"Looking at the abortion law, or the gun law, or the voting law, it's a form of vigilante justice, where you're empowering individuals to enforce the law," said Tyson Tuttle, the CEO of Austin-based Silicon Laboratories (SLAB.O). "It's been a rough week in Texas and a harbinger of what's to come across the country."

I'm from across the pond, and have spent limited time in the US - none of it in Texas - but I always thought that I had a pretty good handle on things American. I went to a UK school, from age 7 to nearly 18, which was run by Americans.

I've never got the whole gun thing, but it's never bothered me. However, the recent stuff - abortion and voting rights being eroded - has just knocked me sideways. I'd have said they were un-American. Now, I don't know what to think. I really mean this. Was I always wrong?
I'm going to give everyone a pass on 1 and 3, because wifi's importance and characterstics weren't necessarily known enough to design around for a 2004 building. Especially the desire to reject external radar.

2 is not really the architect's fault. The client should have speced wired ethernet, and the architect should have included it in the design, and the construction manager should have verified it as installed during construction, if speced. There's some wiggle room for the architect to suggest ethernet, but without meeting notes who knows. If the problem is no ethernet in the hallways or no ethernet in the ceiling, again that's more of a timing issue.

Navigation could be client or architect driven; I don't know about MIT, but I've been in Facebook's MPK 20 and 21 designed by Gehry, and they're also hard to navigate, but that's true of most of Facebook's buildings, and Gehry clearly adopted the client's style of ignoring the navigational needs of a building's users. Simple things like walking paths that are visually and texturally distinct from the sea of desks are super useful, but missing. Again, it's hard to know if the architect suggested these things and then followed direction from the client to ignore them, but design is a collaboration and there's plenty of blame to go around. Wifi seemed fine in MPK 20 though, so there's improvement ;)

For 5, I probably can't blame the client here. I'd expect a modern building to be generally leak free for at least 20 years; and weird angles and such might well interfere with that. Could be construction errors and not design errors though. (I see on wikipedia there was a lawsuit about some of the leaks; Gehry casts blame on client cost cutting, so maybe there's some blame to share, but I didn't find details of the settlement, just that most issues had been resolved) There may be a client/user issue though; sometimes leaks happen and they're addressable, but they need to be reported and acted on. If people are only complaining to peers and not to building management or if building management is unresponsive, that's not the architect's fault. I suspect there might be some of that from the pest problems reported here as well. Managing pests in a building is a solvable problem, but it requires active participation of management and users once they're inside the building; weird shapes may be enabling some of the ingress though.

Anyway, I'm not saying I'd recommend that Gehry design your building, I'm just saying the design is a collaboration between the client and the architect (and the builder), so you can't put all the blame on the architect. I don't know that you'd want to pay Gehry to make a boring building with straight walls and drop ceiling, but if you did, I'd guess it would go pretty smoothly and you'd have a nice standardish flexible building where you could put access points everywhere.
This reminds me of when I first discovered the Win32 API and used it to write some silly annoying apps in Borland C++ Builder. This was around 1998 and the worst I ever came up with was a persistent pop up that was difficult to remove due to some registry obfuscation. It had a single button that would open the CDROM tray. I put it on every computer in the lab. Good times. You’re right—it used to be playful to hack around. I miss those days.
The thread is talking literally about taking the product designed for horses because there is too much demand for the doctors who are willing to prescribe human versions.
