I know this is an early/experimental project, but the README could use more motivation before diving into basic usage. Asking someone to change their general-purpose containers is a big ask. It looks like Array mostly consolidates func

I think you're overlooking the "on their own" part. The OP isn't lamenting that things are less reliable in general, just that they aren't reliably capable of working offline or on a local network. Phones are maybe

Yes, this is an established task known as image outpainting. What you’re describing is actually video outpainting, because you would want to use surrounding frames for context.

This was common in Japan (and other Asian countries) long before COVID. Wearing a mask when sick has always been expected etiquette, and they’re also worn by healthy people who just want to be left alone in public.

Thanks — I agree that’s a bit worse. But it’s still pretty clear he’s speaking in the context of what the President should do, and obviously the President can’t have his enemies’ heads displayed Tudor-style on the White House fence. He’s no

Bannon’s actual quote: > I’d put the heads on pikes. Right. I’d put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you are gone. It’s silly to summarize this as Bannon u

I see a lot of commentary saying that these pay cuts are perfectly rational, because “of course” new hires would be given different rates depending on their cost of living. But for a purely remote firm, why would a cost-of-living adjustment

It’s a liability in the sense that a rusty drain pipe covered in duct tape is a liability. You think of it as the source of your problems, but throwing it away would be worse.

Saying someone “doesn’t know [something] from their own ass” is a dated, low-brow expression in English meaning someone is completely unfamiliar with something. A person could never realistically mistake anything at all for their own ass, s

I’m often a Luddite regarding smart versions of simple electronics, but at least part of the issue is how cumbersome “dumb” versions have become relative to modern software. The knobs on my gas stove are intuitive, yes, but the buttons on m

“Life can’t form in the emptiness of space” obviously isn’t a fundamental axiom. I’m not sure why you think I was claiming that. I even caveated with “less likely” with Boltzmann brains in mind — the probability is never exactly zero. And n

Agree completely, but a lack of direct observation isn’t the only evidence we have, at least in principle. If you had an unimaginably powerful computer that could run simulations to determine whether life could form for other values of fund

I’m not sure what you mean by “better answers” — is there a better answer to “Why am I not in intergalactic space right now?” than “life can’t form in the emptiness of space”? You can justify that with the causal reasons why life couldn’t f

I feel like the challenge of explaining fundamental constants understates the strength of anthropic reasoning. Most regions in space are empty voids — why aren’t we in such a void right now? Being anywhere near the orbit of a star is extrem

If you're aware of the limitation you could maybe hack around it by putting in a dummy prompt that encourages GPT-3 to ignore the GPT-2-generated context. E.g. use a second prompt like: "\n---\nThe preceding message has been a pai

The bigger problem with efforts to assess GPT-3 output using AI Dungeon is that AI Dungeon doesn’t actually use GPT-3 the for the first response of a new adventure. If you attempt to start each prompt from a clean slate, you are actually se

You can’t sign up. They don’t have enough money to pay every willing volunteer, so they ask for volunteers only from a randomized sample to infer what would happen if everyone received this offer.

This is likely why they say the option you choose will not impact how much money you are given. If you choose $50/week, and are then offered $5/week and take it, they know you were overestimating. The study wants to learn empirica

That’s an extremely high bar to clear. If two people are screaming at each other on a street corner with a crowd of onlookers it’s surely fine to record them. But if those same two people are quietly speaking to each other while you stand n

That’s only conversations that you’re a part of. Zero-party consent is illegal everywhere. E.g., if you invite people into your home, leave the room, and they continue talking, it’s a illegal to not inform them of the microphone. Recording

To have those running as a security camera recording audio is legally perilous anyway. You’d have to inform car passengers or house guests that you have a microphone running if there’s any chance they might converse without you. The trouble
