Thank you, I've rephrased a few things to improve the wording with respect to this.

My line of thinking was that for the average HN reader, who has probably read 'GPT-3' perhaps 500 times by now (every instance of which was referencing OpenAI's infamous 175B model), it may be confusing for them to see this w

I would perhaps change 'GPT-3' to just say 'GPT' instead, as a more salient fix.

This is a nice release, but the title is a bit misleading as the released sizes (1.3B and 2.7B parameters) do not yet compare to the size of GPT-3 (175B), but rather GPT-2 (1.5B) instead (although future releases may have significantly more

This is great news and an amazingly strong outcome! Proxalutamide is an antiandrogen, which reduces some of the effects of androgens including testosterone, so I wonder if this has a stronger effect in males than in females. Although the pa

I'm having trouble imagining any way this could be implemented from a technical perspective that isn't, simply put, terrible. Is there more information on how this would be implemented if it came into practice?

In general it seems like moderating platforms with millions/billions of users is a fool's errand, but is required to be attempted due to the level of centralization we've ended up with. Regardless of how much of it is automat

This post is particularly nice to re-read now, realizing that it was only 5-6 years ago. Things change pretty quickly in this area, that's for certain.

Given that when we survey people presently, large proportions (sometimes a majority) say that they're scared to express many views, opinions, and arguments, including across most of the political spectrum, it's probably the case t

The article directly contradicts this submitted title; there's no reason why it would be illegal.

I've done this as well, and it's often made me happier and saved me time. It made me realize most links that I open I don't care to read, and often just the headline or a few sentences about a topic is the best signal/no

I see that, but I don't think it answers the question. If anything it seems partially contradictory.

"I am very much enjoying the self-inflected suffering" This seems like something that would be very bad if applied to everyone. Perhaps I'd get hate for saying this in 2021, but I'd prefer a society where no one enjoys a

Something can be both legitimately revolutionary/interesting, but also significantly over-hyped and misrepresented, often with strong for-profit incentives. Some recent good examples of this include progress in cryptocurrencies, decent

Who knows. There are so many algorithms and people at play in the decisions to ban things on large platforms that most people that work at the organization itself won't even be able to tell you who or what, specifically, was responsibl

I'm glad to see new approaches to this problem being discussed, because even after researching about lipids for quite awhile, I was unable to come to a full conclusion on them myself. There's so many confounding variables, and att

It can be much better, but a quick glance at what a lot of retail investors are actually doing with options (basically just buying calls) shows a lot of high-risk and reckless gambling. While I'm fine with people choosing whichever r

These are both good points, I added to my comment that Bitmex didn't touch USD since it's relevant. The gambling problem is absolutely true, but it's difficult to know how to approach it properly, since it's obvious that

The near-infinite reach of US finance laws into every area of cryptocurrencies (among other categories) is pretty staggering. The promises that cryptocurrencies want to gift to their users are continually sacrificed in the name of draconian

It would be nicer if articles with this general tone focused more on alternative creation and positive action rather than on stopping others from creating things. It's reasonable to want to have more public sector involvement in many a

Correct, I didn't intend it as a critique of you specifically, but rather something that I see a lot of others do, so I apologize for the overly-direct wording (edited it to make this more clear).
