Not really. These are independent decisions. The IRS may incorporate the SEC's views into its guidance, but that's simply a courtesy.
I'm the pro Duolingo user. I used to pick up new languages just for fun. It did help me a bit when conversing with uber drivers in Spanish, but I was stumped when i completed the Japanese course.

I could quickly, and effectively go through the course with no hurdles. But then my sister asked me to count to ten in Japanese. I know the words, I can complete a challenge that include numbers, but I could not count to ten in the real world in Japanese. Duolingo banked on the gamification, and that works really well. However, learning a language is only incidental.

I wrote an article about it and received threats to take it down. From time to time, i get a hoard of emails calling me toxic and threatening to sue. It's still up if you can find it.
I'm no linguist but it seems to me that that word doesn't really work for that definition. It sounds like it should pertain to hidden form, not hidden similar form, like say, cryptoisomorphic.
Why are we not OK with the program producing the undecidability result?
Yeah. If you want to learn a language with a different character set than the one you grew up with then you need to practice writing the characters. I studied Chinese for a year on Duolingo and now I can barely recognize a few characters. Without practice writing the characters by hand you’ll have a really hard time remembering them!
Wait, how does this scam work for OpenAI? The product is free to use.

Also they haven't claimed GPT is an AGI or that it can solve all your problems.
I've never heard of such a thing. I would be surprised.
Are we sure there is valid proof the Singularity is not already active. How about IA? Hmm.
The idea is that you do all your hyperparameter optimization with the test data and then only run through the validation data once before you submit your paper.
It is a superficially clever argument. It's not actually a clever argument because it elides the existence of "but easier" or "but faster" as mechanisms for valid business models.

No? Dark pools are not essentially a combination of market maker, custodian, exchange, etc. Just because they are not widely understood doesn't mean that you're completely wrong that dark pools are things that they're not.
> The UK claims sharing of things like Netflix passwords is illegal[0].

The newspaper article you linked to mentions the ICO talking about copyright law.

Personally I think it would be more of a clear-cut case under the UK Computer Misuse Act, "Unauthorised access to computer material":

A person is guilty of an offence if—
(a) he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure access to any program or data held in any computer or to enable any such access to be secured;
(b) the access he intends to secure, or to enable to be secured, is unauthorised; and
(c) he knows at the time when he causes the computer to perform the function that that is the case.

And in terms of somebody operating a password sharing website, "Making, supplying or obtaining articles for use in offence":

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if he makes, adapts, supplies or offers to supply any article intending it to be used to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under section 1, 3 or 3ZA
(2)A person is guilty of an offence if he supplies or offers to supply any article believing that it is likely to be used to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under section 1, 3 or 3ZA
(3)A person is guilty of an offence if he obtains any article—
(a)intending to use it to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under section 1, 3 or 3ZA, or
(b)with a view to]its being supplied for use to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under [F21section 1, 3 or 3ZA].
(4)In this section “ article ” includes any program or data held in electronic form.

> think your partner and friends will look at you unfavorably because you don't have a job

Friends, 100%. But I can see being uncomfortable sharing such information with a partner. Not because they'll think less of you. But because it could stress them out. (You should obviously still be honest.)
This isn't reddit, "butthurt" and similar low brow shit turns this into the same kind of cesspool. Make an adult argument or don't make one.
Google autocomplete using your query history also reduces the information you learn from suggestions as you do the searching...

While in the past "indexDB.set undefined in " might autocomplete to show safari first, indicating a vendor-specific bug, it'll often now prefill with some noun from whatever you last searched (e.g. "main window") to "help" you.

Haven't found a way to disable that, annoying for understanding bugs, situations/context and root causes.

"What are you" is a fun question to ask, particularly when traveling. Most Americans answer with their race or job. Italians, in my experience, gave answers with their local heritage; in India I frequently got a religion.
Research says that grammar should come later. Grammar is easy to teach and grade though, while more effective learning methods don't show any results as fast, but in the long run do better.

Comprehensible input is key to learning a language. Grammar is helpful only after you are getting to where you could almost guess those rules.
I had a third-party shadow ROM kit for a BBC Micro in 1984; it let me back-up and load add-on ROMs into its memory and switch between them quickly.
Sure, but the ways of acquiring those outputs legally have vampiric licensing that bind you to those ToS, since the re-licenser is bound by the original ToS.

It's like distributing GPL code in a nonfree application. Even if you didn't "consent to [the original author's] ToS," you are still going to be bound to it via the redistributors license.
There’s also the other side of the coin. I can count to 10 (or 10000) in Japanese, but I couldn’t bring myself to finish the Japanese course of Duolingo.

>. We absolutely know that its electric charge is opposite that of the normal matter counterpart.

Here is a contrived example calculating a hypothetical quantity X = m * Y.

Suppose we observe that X is always negative.

By your logic, we would then assume that Y is always negative.

This is true if m is never negative, but it is somewhat possible that we would eventually find a situation where m is negative and Y is positive.

I’ve seen several teams regret making this assumption. Unless you enforce draconian access control over a database, you’re going to discover that customer support and accounting and biz dev have been quietly relying on it.
GPT-4 is very useful to me right now, for small programming projects. Though it can't write an entire program for a nontrivial project, it is good at the things I hate doing, like figuring out regular expressions and SQL commands. I smile broadly at the fact that I may never have to write either of those things again. And GPT-4 knows of the existence of countless software libraries and modules that I've never heard of. It doesn't always use them correctly, but just alerting me to their existence is tremendously helpful. It can usually answer questions about APIs correctly. I have no idea what impact LLMs will have on the world as a whole, but they will clearly revolutionize coding.
My theory is unlikely perhaps.

Neural connections on the left side are potentially protected from damage to the right side of the body and vice versa.

If the damage occurs to one side of the body but the brain is protected, would it not make for better chance of repair as the body heals?
I have a developer friend who failed tried to start an app/service to really teach you a foreign language as he was so frustrated with Duolingo and similar which are almost more like a "Wordle" type game for fun than actual language learning.
I guess it seems kinda obvious that a news organisation is bad at moonlighting as a game studio? They presumably have some metrics that somebody looks at, but I highly doubt they are as closely drawn to profitability as say an indie studio.

> “It’s fairly democratic,” Zoe Bell, the executive producer of New York Times Games, said in an interview. Anyone on the Games team can pitch an idea. It’s a departure from the process at Ms. Bell’s past jobs, where only the game designers were allowed to contribute ideas.

I guess that's the case for big game studios that have established pipelines of new games, but NYT is basically an indie studio with marketing handled by their parent company, and indie studios from what I've seen are very much unstructured and does not have a well established pipeline for launching new games.
Well you seem nice so I’m sorry for the aggression. You weren’t aware that I’ve tried everything else that’s popular.

From my position, someone telling me that the only thing that I can even use is “the worst” feels like an attack with the purpose of gatekeeping.

My use case is expressly where Duolingo is nice. I simply don’t care enough to invest the effort that Babel or others require. Tutoring isn’t even in the cards considering the time and money.

From here, other folks in similar conversations have continued to say that I won’t learn anything with Duolingo. This is blatantly false; I’ve already learned to read a new alphabet, and I’m slowly learning vocabulary and basic grammar. I’m perfectly aware that Duolingo will never make me fluent, and even that I might have some bad habits when I transition to something else. The point is that it gets me to the point that I even can transition to something else. And research shows that the only bad habits that cause real problems in language learning are with pronunciation (something Duolingo is actually particularly good about).

Sorry you caught backlash from my frustration.

Decatur is usually about 1% of the home value in property taxes, right?

The size of the house isn’t as important as the value. If you’re laying $14k/year in property taxes, your house is likely appraised for $1-1.5M.

Nationally speaking, Decatur has pretty low property taxes. Especially since you’re probably a short distance from the Brick Store Pub.

It is difficult to conclude this is true, and it will be even more difficult in the future because tech like "AI" has the ability to almost completely saturate the amount of data any human can ingest. The relationship will soon be symbiotic, with everything showing the extent of our progress... in the same manner we can date movies by the kinds of phones they use. Many plots will become stale, many worldviews will be condensed to something that supports "AI" and the offending branches will be snipped. The only way to really forget this limitation is to be myopic enough to disregard everything else. With the way the internet is going, I'm sure one day these LLMs will be heralded as "free" and "open" media, their fuzzy recollections the only records we will have of the past, and extensive use will essentially morph civilization in their own image.
I can’t see us going from Microsoft and Open AI stealing everyone’s work and selling it without attribution or respect for GPL (for example ) to technological utopia anytime soon.
That’s negative charge though, not negative mass. We haven’t been able to experiment with negative mass. No particle physics experiment has produced any evidence it exists.
Prompt engineering made more sense before RLHF/instruct models.

Back then text just continued onwards, and many papers found ridiculous gains on conforming with intended output (and therefore properties of output) by finding a suitable widespread online format.

Example: I think all Question/Answer forums, and places like StackOverflow, used a certain format like 'Q:' - that worked much better for question content with high quality answers. One paper, "Ask me anything" showed that formulating tasks as questions-answers resulted in much more effective prompts: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.02441 - another for reasoning is the "Lets think things through step by step" example. It was a challenge to output JSON data with more than 3 correct keys, unless you finetuned.

However, the instruct models and recent 3.5/conversational RLHF are just so good at doing tasks, that such "engineering" - which supported/improved a wide base of prompts across domains and functionalities - broadly entirely stopped.

Now prompt engineering sounds so cool and was also used in the way of specific use cases back then, that everybody uses the term for prompts to get certain outputs. This however, is not really the same level of engineering and to some expert, reminiscent of old-school knowledge system finesse, that we saw before 2022.

They did, but not without a lot of tricks to compensate for the uneven color sensitivity of early black and white film. Standard makeup didn’t look right on film so they adopted some very extreme styles just so things would look “normal” on screen [0].

The point is, there’s no “objective” version of black and white, or full-color, or full-color-except-for-ultraviolent. They’re all tuned for our specific visual perception and may look bizarre past the point of recognition for other species.

Looking at https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015852367-Digi..., it doesn't seem like they charge extra to access the games?

There's no "pay $x extra for games", only this https://www.nytimes.com/subscription/games#view-subscription... $40/yr.

At $40/yr I would much rather get Apple Arcade, that's quite a shocking price for a subscription to a crappy indie studio.

AI had a winter of many decades because the hardware wasn't there and there were better alternatives, especially for neural nets. Now ChatGPT etc comes out, with unbelievable results, decades in the making. And a couple months we're already writing it off because of the next limitation? Maybe let's give it more than a month or two to figure out if we even need all that data.

It seems to be consensus in athletic endeavors that periodization and progressive overload are what’s necessary to best increase your capacity. The majority of the time you are building your “base” and occasionally you apply a high intensity stimulus that pushes your capacity.

I tend to think that the most similar idea to this would be performing your normal day to day work and a new project is proposed with a tight deadline.

The massive success of the iPhone was not a foregone conclusion from day one. But it was obvious that Apple was entering the market as a serious contender with a product that had industry-wide ramifications and the highest possible visibility and awareness among its target market.

There was no plausible way to believe that the iPhone would quickly flop and have zero long-term impact on the broader phone market. (Even if the iPhone had never even shipped, the announcement itself changed people's expectations for smartphones.) The only plausible "iPhone failure" scenarios had to postulate that Apple's competition would be able to quickly identify the key innovations in the iPhone (as opposed to features that turn out to just be a flashy gimmick) and incorporate them into their own product lines while using their incumbent status to stop Apple from expanding much beyond their initial foothold in the market. But after the success of the iPod, Apple was already the acknowledged best at distilling a well-rounded, refined product from an immature market still experimenting with new ideas.
