I think you're missing why people find German compound nouns interesting and notable. Does English have compound nouns and noun phrases? Certainly. But take your example: "gay clergy book row priest." The noun phrase literall

I like AWS, but K8s has reduced my cloud needs to down to a Docker registry and a K8s cluster, which I can easily get anywhere. The one thing I really like about AWS is DynamoDB, which has very cheap and straightforward pricing but can also

One reason I like SSR is that you need some form of SSR for public-facing websites anyway. Website previews (like in iMessage, Twitter, etc.) rely on Open Graph tags in the HTML, and these services expect the OG tags to be available without

Yes, you can make the English words longer if you wish. But it’s very common to shorten them.

My impression when studying German is that the German language has more compound words that are singular words in English. e.g. Armbanduhr (watch), Aussehen (appearance), Hauptstadt (capital), Staubsauger (vacuum), anything ending with Zeug

German is famous for its compound nouns. My feeling is compound nouns are noticed by English speakers due to their explicit verbosity, but I don't have any data to back that up.

Very few consoles, let alone games, last 15 years. Requiring an online experience to work well for 15 years, while nice, is not a realistic requirement for a majority of games.

I play a lot of SSBU online and it works well. Rollback netcode would be a huge improvement, but the game is definitely playable. Online play clearly isn't a focus for Nintendo, but it's hard to argue with their success. Perhaps t

I was responding to someone who asked "Who could strike a nuclear power plant who couldn't use a nuclear bomb." Canada is a very valid answer to that questions. No one is talking about the likelihood of such an event.

"Procedural generation" usually means content generated by a human-crafted procedure. Given that a human made the algorithm by hand, its scope is limited and easily becomes repetitive.

I'm not making an arbitrary point. The end of my comment mentions word embeddings, which are learned from analyzing language and its usage in an unsupervised manner. You can use a word embedding to measure similarity between words. For

Yes, I've seen free promotions before (of bananas and many other items). But I've never seen sub-cent bananas. Again, if you see those, let me know.

I'm only speaking from my own personal experience, but I've never seen bananas priced at less than 1c each in the grocery store. I've also seen people misplace decimal points frequently. So, based on the thousands of times I&

Which interpretation is idiotic? Being able to take in complex signals from the environment and form an instructive opinion is the foundation of human ingenuity. Given that the bananas obviously aren't on sale for $0.0019, it seems idi

It's not only about the letters. "Million" and "billion" are both numeric concepts. Numeric concepts are only a small subset of things expressible by language. So million and billion are close because they are spell

by simulate-me 4y ago
Language is an imperfect model for representing ideas. Million is close to billion, linguistically. Certainly not off by a power of 1000 in the space of language. I’m surprised the author is just coming to this realization.

I agree 100%, but I think viable businesses will begin to emerge especially as these large models move from text to images (and eventually to video and 3d models). If the examples shown of DALL-E 2 are indicative of its quality, then a larg

The amount of capital needed to train these high-quality models is eye watering (not to mention the costs needed to acquire the data). Does anyone know of any well capitalized startups exploring this space?

You always have the right of way in the U.S. unless there is a stop sign or a yield sign. If both directions have stop signs, then the person who arrived first has the right-of-way. To me, it's more straight forward to always have righ

I find the "right of way" signs in Europe way more strange, specifically when the signs aren't present. When you're on a main thoroughfare, it's pretty obvious you have the right of way. It's on the smaller sid

I don't think you can call procedural generation "zero marginal content." When dealing with PG, the content is the procedure, not the output, and the procedure never changes. There is a distinction between PG and a generative

I don’t know if you’ve even seen a supply and demand graph, but there is a price a supplier is willing to sell at, and a price the buyer is willing to pay. The supplier’s price is based off of their costs. Saying the price is only determine
