Why a Möbius strip? That would imply that if I travelled around the universe and back to Earth, everything would be like it had been reflected in a mirror.

Would be difficult since GPT-3 uses a low number of tokens compared to a book. Around 8000 I think? Could possibly be done by iteratively summarizing section by section but that would give suboptimal results.

That would be bad, since that’d mean storing the data themselves, with an increased risk of data leaks. (There was a medical data leak as recently as today from a Swedish agency. The track record is unfortunately not good) But the law is th

Old versions of Dolphin will presumably still work, so it's not a huge blow to the Windows 7 users.

But it will finish much faster! Finding a brand new but 20 years old dishwasher or washing machine would be awesome, at least in the EU. In Sweden, almost all of my electrical bill is heating anyway and water is practically free. My dishwas

I guess they wanted to raise an exception if the graph has cycles, while at the same time still be able to use the object partially. Then the constructor can not raise. Also, you don't have to call is_active(), the object itself is con

"anthropomorphizing ML models" seems like the complete opposite of what AI safety people do. They often point out that just because you are intelligent, you don't have to seem human. I think they call it the "orthogonali

Yeah, Steam takes much longer "preallocating space" than actually downloading everything for me, so a faster line does not help much there.
