   1. I wasn't suggesting that those questions were in the training data. That’s not my contention at all. My contention is that GPT-3 is sampling from patterns it has observed in text to generate more text - and only that. Do you imagine

   I suppose it contradicts the OP’s claim in a very hollow sense. In the same way that I could write a simple Python script that takes a question from the console and prints out a statement: “you’re asking the wrong question.” GPT-3 is a lang

   I’ve lived in a lot of places, and have experienced the “utopia” of hyper-dense, public transit-based living that is so often romanticized here on HN. It has some advantages, but I’d never go back to it. I love having a car. To me, a car is

   I think that transcript shows GPT-3 emulating the style of the Q&A answers you gave it (terse, dismissive tone; tending to reject the premise of the question asked). I don’t really see the transcript as showing that GPT-3 is actually e

   For me, it’s the nightmarish distortion of everyone’s form. Big sites have become a bad acid trip you can’t wake up from.

   I see a vivid imagination and overextrapolation working tag-team in this post. Evidence, not so much.

   I don’t think that fact has been established. From what I’ve observed with Midjourney and Dall-E, the defects in the output of these models are more artistically significant than just mangled faces and missing details. The models don’t unde

   I think that’s a recurrent theme with deep learning: it’s incredible, almost magical, when it’s well adapted to a specific task that fits specific parameters. But failure modes are a minefield.

   As with vehicular autonomy? We all heard predictions like that about 4-5 years ago.

    I think disabling access to data you’ve encouraged your users to store for years is a distasteful monetization strategy.

    Ah, so Slack is transitioning from a freemium model to a ransomware model. Nice.

    I’ve drastically reduced the amount of shopping I do on Amazon, mostly due to my perception that it’s become a toxic waste dump. Amazon is good at getting stuff to you quickly, but the prices are nothing special and the shopping experience

    I reach for Vue + Vuetify (a Material Design UI component library) to get things going quickly. Vue is extremely easy to learn and can be incorporated with a script tag if you prefer. Vuetify faithfully implements almost the entire Material

    In metropolitan areas (where I imagine most Teslas are driven), it often just isn’t possible to maintain a textbook-safe following distance. The instant you allow more than the average distance ahead of you, another car will jump in to fill

    To break the fear-avoidance cycle, you have to stop the avoidance, and purposefully push yourself in the opposite direction (exposure). It won’t feel good - your anxiety will increase. Your brain will make up a thousand reasons why you’re d

    I wouldn't agree with your version of the statement. A person's time is indeed intrinsically valuable -- to that person. Market value is how much their time is worth to other people; that depends on what they're doing with th

    Employee misclassification is very common, even and especially with higher-paid salaried positions. Whether you are exempt depends on the actual work you do in the day, and in what proportions. It does not depend on your job title, official
