Note that we are not talking about neural networks in general, but specifically the sort of generative autoregressive language model that Galactica is. What reason do we have to think that such a model is more likely to produce a true statement than a false one? - especially as just one misplaced truth-valued function or operator is likely to turn a true proposition into a false one. Truthfulness (not to be confused with truthiness) of their productions does not seem to be something we should expect from how they work, and the empirical evidence from Galactica supports this view.

> a single coordinator to be responsible for continuity of information and coordination

Years ago I saw a talk by a VA (US veteran's health care) thoracic surgeon, who was trying to entice tech folk to address the following problem. A surgeon is both team manager and skilled technician. When heads down in the technician role, the management role suffers for lack of attention. Especially severely at the VA, which did randomized staffing of operating teams, so you don't get the "group mind" and practiced gap filling of team which stays together. So surgeons would say "do X", and being distracted, not notice the order was dropped, and then proceed assuming X had happened, with regrettable results. The VA surgeon envisioned a voice system which noted the request, waited, and then whispered a nudge in someone's ear "did we do X?".

What if what he has in mind is attempting to undo the negative effects that social networks have had on our society and democracy and instead attempt to rebuild this particular network in a way that can have a positive effect on society? It seems like that is a technological possibility and also something he could plausibly be interested in.

Well, the other half of your analogy would be that you live in a country where the government routinely breaks into houses and installs cameras, so yes?

Of course there are other solutions besides the technical one of installing software that represents your interests. For example, effective privacy legislation would go a long way towards curtailing commercial surveillance, as well as giving users a way to distance themselves from companies that did objectionable things.

I cannot speak for the project; that said, concern trolling over the status of a project with a limited amount of developers that has accomplished very specific gains in a short amount of time seems a bit much.

Are you feeling a bit entitled with regard to timelines? Do you feel compelled to wrest control of the project to suit your own aims? Or, are you simply bored with the notion that a given developer (or team) might need a breather?
But is there a zone, at least internally, where such communication is safe?

There's an interesting geometric interpretation that this implies:

The specific scenario they're modeling here, where a bunch of samples with correlated properties x and y are clustered by x + y, essentially takes a strip of datapoints that are distributed over a diagonally-oriented rectangle, and then cuts it into a series of shorter strips, by cutting at thresholds (lines where x+y=n) that run along the opposite diagonal. If the resulting short strips are narrow enough (if the upper and lower thresholds are closer together than that degree to which x and y typically differ), they will be rectangles oriented the other way - in other words they will represent groups with strong negative correlation.

Destiny 2 has an api that a lot of great third-party organizational tools are built around. But you can also download a sqlite file with all the set game info in it: weapons, abilities, perks, items, upgrades etc. I haven't messed with it in a while but I remember it being pretty small, one or two hundred mb.

The SNES Final Fantasy games famously had some translation adventures.

FF4 has "You spoony bard!".

FF6 had a lot of mature edges smoothed off in translation (as well as more typical translation nuances). Here's an article/interview with the original translator for FF6 (https://www.usgamer.net/articles/ted-woolsey-localization-tr...), and here's a piece (in fact a whole website about game localization...) going through different translations of FF6 (https://legendsoflocalization.com/final-fantasy-vi/)
I have a wide screen and it shows as a bunch of columns that don't fit (there are a lot more on the right), and I have to scroll down for each column. At one point, the boxed text showed a slight rotation, possibly due to vertigo and I closed the site. Resizing the window makes a mess with columns of various height and empty columns.

For readability, you need a lot more space between columns.

Again, this looks like nitpicking, but in reality I am unable to read the content.

It appears you have something interesting to say. Why destroy that with terrible layout?
I think this is too broad of a definition.

This would make more or less all VM runtimes "OSes".

In a sense, they are "operating systems", yes, but it's more about how the APIs bind and constrain the applications that build on top of them. For that reason I call K8s "Windows for the cloud". But that's another story.

I would say that, by a "strict definition", OS describes the software that runs on the metal, and operates all the different kinds of (application) runtimes and (OS) services under itself. A type 1 hypervisor would be by this definition an OS for example. But say a bare metal implementation of Doom would be not, I think, as it would not provide any implementation of a ("universal") app runtime. [Please don't say Doom is Turing complete. I hope not!]

And Mesos? Mesos is really something else. It's a distributed "task manager". But even without a scheduler. Everything else should be provided by "frameworks". One could say Mesos is a kind of micro kernel for the data center (and the frameworks are the OS servers). But that is very figuratively speaking.

Mesos is also less a "Windows for the cloud" compared to K8s because it supports different frameworks as runtimes. You can bring our own framework (or plugins for some existing). K8s on the other hand tries to be (more or less) "the one true" all encompassing API. Vendor lock-in works than as with Windows (or Linux, or macOS / iOS)^^.
If he tanks the price this allows him to take it private at a much cheaper rate. When he relists with 100% ownership he stands to profit when he dumps it on some media company.
I think it’s a good assumption as far as assumptions go. The poll was just something to hide behind. Because a majority votes on something doesn’t mean it’s right, and his company also isn’t a democracy. Why not run polls on all of Twitter’s content moderation? The people can speak on each matter.
Their risk reward is show up or get kicked out of their homes and country. Real shitty.

I don't think so (although she might of course express her feelings in a way which is unhelpful/problematic/harmful).

Yes. The commenter is upset because a mesh network that he helped build for another purpose also provides a convenient dense network of radios that can be used to track staff, and that this is now the primary use case.

"All of that made it really easy to just stick a beacon tag inside employee badges and measure the RSSI from the mesh lightbulbs (since they already tracked that to discover who their physical neighbors were)."
Thanks for sharing the link. That was an amazing read. I originally tried the proxy method (I didn't know about Realms though, they seem cool), and I think I got pretty far. At least, I couldn't find a way to get to the constructor, and access the main scope.

But I'm just not confident you can really isolate code on the same domain that your main code run's in. That's why I ended up moving to a web worker on a different origin. It also comes with the plus that you can kill a hanging web work, as it's run in a different process.

Going to be keeping a close eye on Realm though!

Downs syndrome doesn't affect a sex chromosome, while those other ones do? And they affect the presentation of sexual characteristics?
These are nice terms but they're heavily rooted in social constructs and don't really answer the OPS question which was tying biological sex to well... biology and in this particular case gametes/chromosomes.
By buying their books! The books on internet archive have been purchased by or donated to the library, the same way all libraries work across the US.

Some of the criticisms of the video are a bit unfair.

You missed my point. Maybe I didn't make it clear. These are all things that happen to women (and can only happen to women). You have to be born with a uterus in order to have it removed. Somehow, individuals born without a uterus and/or ovaries are recognized as women/female in whatever source it is you're not citing.

Let be very clear, I'm not advocating against trans people. On the contrary, I think all people who aren't hurting others are deserving of respect and dignity within the limits of reason and the law of "your reach ends where my nose begins."

But that doesn't entitle them or anyone else to unilaterally (and with a strong authoritarian bent, I might add) change our language or to proclaim "Trans women are women." I would counter, "No. Trans women are trans women, and that's OK."

1% certainly doesn't strike me as definition destroying counter evidence. Again, not sure what your source is.
I see that whiteboard as a mechanism to help build a shared mental model for all assembled.

I don't think you realize how scant charging is if you live in an urban area. No charger at most apartments, and your workplace might not even have parking. Amazon offices in Seattle are notorious for occupied chargers. "Then why have a car?" We like to drive out to the mountains on the weekend, frequently. So then we drive a lot on the weekend and barely get a chance to charge on a weekday. You might have to set aside several hours at a parking lot at a mall to charge it which quite a chore.

nudity has nothing to do with sex as you’ve said elsewhere, it’s all about consent. i don’t sexualize strangers, because i don’t have their consent. when i walk around my home nude, i’m doing it because i’m comfortable being nude. it’s a preference for me, but people like who who can’t see nudity without complaining about “sexuality and sexualization of all nude bodies” bore the shit out of me. convince me your stance is different in anyway from demanding a burqa? the logic feels the same to me, cover up because i can’t control my own body, and it’s not my fault!

grow up and stop thinking about fucking everything you see naked, it’s odd
