This is a cheap way to for Amazon to get into SDC, same way with their investment in Rivian. Neither have much of a shot but it's worth it to try if you're Amazon

Yeah why anything? Many of the policies on the boat seemed solely to punish the employee. Some boats had it 12 x 12, some boats even had 4 x 8 x 4 x 8, which is just a normal 8 hour day. But not my boat. I lasted less than a year, it was al

Used to work on a cement tugboat, 12 hour days 28 days a time. Unfortunately, it wasn't 12 on 12 off, it was 6 x 6 x 6 x 6. Meaning you could rarely get more than 4.5 hours of sleep at one time for the whole hitch. Depending on if the

Man do I love Hackernews. Everyone is pro-innovation, pro-future, pro-forward thinking until literally anything new happens, in which case everyone shows up with a "well, ackshually", to tell you why the new idea is dumb. It'

Please get rid of the flow where it shows me other threads when I click on the comments of a current thread. I'm never going to switch to a new thread from the comments. I just want to read the comments.

Admittedly, I took the first iteration like 4 years ago, and I've heard it's much improved since then, but the fun part is they get you building real things right away! You build an image classifier in the first lesson. With other

Definitely try fast.ai, I also have no formal CS background, am bad at math, etc... and with a little hard work I was able to keep up and do things I never thought possible. You will truly be blown away after even just a month of the class

This is exactly my point, clearly this is an instance of the algorithm innacurately censoring content. A bunch of things get swept up when you have to provide general guidelines for what to censor. And so you want them to censor more? And g

They censor content that would lead to immediate harm. How would you prove a Trump post can lead to immediate harm? Is CNN immoral for reporting what he says? Is my Dad immoral for telling me what he says, becuz it might lead to harm? Don&#

Thanks for clarifying. I'm a bit more confused though, are you saying that all of these Q&A examples are human answered, and that you were just demonstrating the format / question types for Q&A? If so, is there any way to

GPT-2 was a groundbreaking advancement in NLP, this is an iteration on that. A general purpose language model that can answer questions, write full (mostly) human indistinguishable articles, do some translation, etc...
