As others have pointed out, the quality of the translations is fantastic but I also really appreciate some of the features it has.

For example as a paid feature it allows you to switch between formal and informal speech, which can be really important in some languages/cultures.

Another is that it can translate PDFs while preserving formatting. Not perfectly but pretty damn good.

Yet another is that you can click on specific words and get more specific definitions of them, like a dictionary entry. This can be really useful if the translation seems ambiguous and you're wondering which sense of the word is being used.

They also have another product, Linguee, which is a multilingual dictionary. It's really good and usefully, contains real-world examples with their (human) translations.

I think the issue they're mainly worried about might be exemplified with a prompt of 'my little pony'. A children's show with quite a lot of adult imagery associated with it on the internet.

A child entering this prompt is probably expecting one thing, but the internet is filled with pictures of another nature. There are possibly more adult 'my little pony' images than screenshots of the show on the internet.

Did the researchers manage to filter out these images before training? Or is the model aware of both 'kinds' of 'my little pony' images? If the researchers aren't sure they got rid of all of the adult content, then there's really no way to guarantee the model isn't about to ruin some oblivious person's day.

So then, do you require people generating images to be intricately familiar with the training dataset? Or do you attempt to prevent any kind of surprise like this by just blocking 'unexpected' interactions like this?
I think most people know what processed food is when they see it. Asking what the definition of processed food is, is talking past the point.
I wonder if the whole site could be put in a trust with legal stipulations to maintain hosting funds. The trustees would be the management teams, then potentially a corporate trustee who could keep the lights on in the event of a permanent code freeze.

I think partnering with a forward thinking legal firm that specializes in estate planning would be a cool avenue to explore that further.
> Let me clarify some points at the risk of sounding like a Modi supporter.

Just to clarify on you not being a Modi supporter: Do you feel that Modi is doing not enough or too much to combat terrorists/internal threats in India?

My suspicion is that you are to the right of Modi but intentionally trying to obscure that by saying that you aren't a Modi supporter, which would typically imply to the left of Modi. A brief perusal of your comments seems to suggest that is the case.

Any idea if the android emulator would suffice? For sure cheaper and easier to automate since rooting those can be much easier than rooting actual phones, which are usually designed against such things
The article does not say what a MicroVM is. From what I can gather, it's using KVM to virtualize specifically a Linux kernel. In this way, Firecracker is somewhat intermediate between Docker (which shares the host kernel) and Vagrant (which is not limited to running Linux). Is that accurate?

Is it possible to use a MicroVM to virtualize a non-Linux OS?

Some amount of specialness is normal. If our place in the multiverse can be described by 1000 random normal-distributed variables, you would expect 50 of those values to be at least two standard deviations away from the mean, and 3 variables to be three standard deviations off.

Of course we don't know which ones, so assuming any one thing to be normal is the best approach. But looking at the big picture, there are bound to be flukes. Not having any would be an even bigger fluke
Why should people populate your island when the smart thing to do is make their own?
Right, but at least in the nonpolitical context I wouldn’t assume conscious intent without very clear evidence of it. The greatest fallacy is assuming to know what people are actually thinking, without them saying it. People tend to vastly overestimate their insight into other people’s minds.

Dice baseball is an inside joke in my family. We always make fun of my dad for playing "way too much when he was a kid, instead of going outside" -- this is at least according to my Grammy.

He stopped playing dice baseball when his older brother got his first computer. It allowed you to make super basic spreadsheets (or something that felt like spreadsheets, I don't trust his memory a ton) -- and the first spreadsheets he made were about dice baseball. From there he made spreadsheets about his highschool baseball team, and from there he decided he loved computers and went back to school to study them.

There is no way a person in his position has any time for focus. CEOs of big companies (especially in case they manage multiple companies!) usually act as firefighters and mainly mentors to top-management. They need to be able to quickly jump between calls, board meetings, press, Q&A, in matter of minutes.

Something very similar is also written in Cal Newport's Deep Work book, where Jack Dorsey's typical day is outlined just as a series of interruptions.

I guess that tweeting between these interactions is not that time-consuming for him, + he actually sleeps at the workplace and is 100% focused on work.

I do not see how the people of the USA benefit from this arrangement.
But this would make Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and all the other big US tech business illegal…

Nobody (in the US) wants this obviously.

Btw, the EU isn't anything better in this regard: We would like to forbid other countries to spy on us, but the EU authorities "need to have" the possibility "because terrorism, child abuse, and other 'harmful content' & 'disinformation'". (Just see the fresh Digital Services & Digital Markets acts).

Same surveillance everywhere. Only it's "OK" when done by "us", the "good ones", but not "the others", because they're the evil "bad ones"; of course.
Show HN: Open-source document editor for GPT-3
Hi HN,

I built this because I wanted a Google Docs-style editor with GPT-3 tie-in. There are some of these in the wild, but they are expensive.

Why is it useful?

1) It's 50x cheaper to run than commercial solutions that mostly just wrap GPT-3 (you bring your own OpenAI API key)

2) It means you don't have to share your writing with someone in the middle.

You imply that the other PhD is being difficult but I think you're being difficult. In my opinion you should start with an open-ended question "How do we determine if there is a malfunction in the ASIC?".

Unless this is your subordinate and you are convinced of a plan of action. In that case don't ask, just be direct and tell them what you want to test.
I am, charitably, a pretty decent developer. I also have what I think most would agree is a pretty successful career.

My career is not built on programming. Rather, it's built on my ability to communicate effectively in writing and in spontaneous speech, and to serve as a translation layer between various parts of an organization. Your frustration is my opportunity.

In my experience, few people without the training or education will be effective communicators. What's my training? A philosophy degree. Theater. An interest in psychology and psychotherapy. Extensive reading. All sorts of management duties within my family, who are of a different culture and class than myself.

Tech is full of young people with CS and business degrees, lots of money, in a homogenous social context, without their own family. So they haven't been educated to express deeply abstract concepts effectively, and lack the experience of getting a large diverse group working effectively toward a shared goal.
Everyone is running a complex neural network, that was formed by trial and error, to express complex and often abstract notions for which we may not even share a common context or concept. People think differently, and someone trying to express a concept is essentially walking through the mental model that they made for themselves. It may not work for you for a variety of reasons. Having acquired language via another culture might be enough to make it more difficult or frustrating to understand someone from a different background, even if you both now share the same language.

She hasn't returned to the UK for the trial. It'll be a question of if she gets extradited or not. The US state department has said extraditing her would be highly inappropriate and an abuse.

Yes, the fact that shes being harbored by the US.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. (George Bernard Shaw)

Are you certain that you have clearly communicated your question to the listener? I frequently encounter questions asked without context, questions without assumptions being stated, or questions which are trivial/dontcares.
Natural Language Principles in Perl
Documentation without accurate and descriptive method/member names is much more harmful than the inverse. If an abstraction is sufficiently complex to warrant a lengthy description of why it exists, then it should have a design doc. In practice, most code within a repo is pretty simple in what it accomplishes and if it's confusing to a reader, then it is most likely because they don't understand the design of the larger component or system or simply because the implementation is poor. There are of course cases where comments are really useful or even necessary (e.g. if going against best practices for a good reason or introducing an optimization that is for all intents and purposes unreadable without explanation), but they are exceptions.
Even for in-order vs out-of-order, there's slower and faster.

Early atoms were really slow, compared to e.g. a SiFive P270, which is also in-order.

Out-of-order CPUs exist that are much slower. After all, in-order CPUs can be superscalar still.
Communication is a skill. It needs to be practiced. It usually means that people need to get out of their heads, and imagine what the other person currently knows, and what information you can provide to them to bridge the gap between you and them.

I work with a brilliant programmer who is one of the worst communicators I've ever worked with. It's exhausting, because he doesn't have the empathy required to properly explain things to others. I'm definitely bringing this up to him during feedback time.
Yes, I agree. It is definitely possible that the underlying laws are extremely complex and there is absolutely no simple way to state them.

But what I think is really interesting that this extreme complexity can only be found in extremely large and small scales.
E.g. Newtons laws are phenomenal at predicting the universe at "human scales". The systems which can arise in Newtonian physics can be extremely complex, but their descriptions are usually very simple. Deviations from Newtonian predictions either are very small or arise only at large/small scales.
> it was a collection of intersections around Ottawa, with video evidence and everything. How is that "not a source"?

The Urbanity video tested three intersections, over twenty minutes of a single day, with no methodology given for the picking of the intersections, no controlling for the day of the week or the time of day. It should be very clear to anyone who has an inkling about how scientific evidence works that this isn't a source of reliable information. And, even if those results were representative of Ottawa, it's pretty obvious that Ottawa is not representative of the US.

> Here's an other article that was like 5th google result of "how many people stop at stop signs". https://wtop.com/news/2013/08/wtops-stop-sign-experiment-how...

Did you read that article? It's only a few paragraphs long and it includes lines like "At the end of the five-minute experiment, six out of 21 cars had actually stopped before crossing the intersection." and "It was unscientific to say the least." - and even by that extremely unscientific test they found that over a quarter of the cars stopped. You claimed "approximately 100% of motorists", which is wildly different from that 71% in that, again, not scientific at all "test" that was performed.

> Everyone who has been through North America knows that practically everybody all the time rolls through stop signs.

I live in the US (the location under discussion - not Ottawa) and I've heard people say that maybe twice across three different states. So, no, this isn't true.

That's not relevant, because you are unable to come up with sources to defend this particular claim that you've made above.

It's hard to say without having been there. I've definitely been in your shoes before, where I have to pull teeth to get someone to sit down and actually do what they clearly need to do. But I've also been the PhD guy, saying "yes sure" and agreeing to spend 30 minutes on a task that doesn't make much sense rather than spend 30 minutes arguing about it. I don't have the technical knowledge to speculate on how obvious it should have been that the test you proposed was right.

Not the person you replied to, but I think "animal's diet affects their nutrition" is pretty obvious. For instance, the "omega 3" eggs you see at the supermarket are produced by feeding the chicken a high omega 3 diet. That itself isn't really interesting. The real question is whether going through all that trouble is worth it. In other words, is it better/more cost effective to buy the higher quality animal products at the supermarket (eg. omega 3 eggs) or buy the regular stuff and pop a multivitamin? For omega 3 eggs at least, the answer is the latter. I'd be interested in seeing how it works out for beef.
No -p flag for netstat on Mac and -l has different purpose. Closest you can get is

The article mentions that the water helps regulate the solar array temperature, ostensibly because the water is used as a heat sink. Does the thermal equation even out such that the body of water temperature is not dramatically impacted?
Example:
If the solar panels are absorbing sunlight before it can reach the water, the water would be colder. But, if the solar panels are using the water as a heat sink/cooler, the water temp could be brought up in temperature.

And what about the blockage of the light? That will inhibit growth of algae and plants underwater.

I can see how this might be super useful for man-made bodies of water (for drinking, runoff, etc) but it seems it might be a bit impactful on natural bodies of water.
