This whole discussion you see above is part of the process of repeating a study. You can’t just do exactly what the previous study did and expect all the flaws to magically disappear. You need to first uncover the flaws, and more eyes and collaboration means a higher likelihood that the flaws get found, hence the importance of these discussions. Then you redesign the experiment to fix those flaws, and then you can run it again.
Someone cheated on their YC interview with the help of your open source project whose purpose is to help people cheat on interviews? Sounds like it’s working as intended.
Generation ability seems to be about the same as any other model. The advantage of normalizing flows is that operations are invertible. That allows you to not just generate samples, but also calculate the probability of a sample.
It looks like Laurent Dinh (dude who originally came up with normalizing flows) is one of the authors of this work.
The long-forgotten technique? Normalizing flows. It feels like it was just last year that they were all the rage. It’s insane how fast the field is moving.
We don’t need a single mind to understand the entirety of how the brain works. One of the powers of human knowledge is its distributed nature arising from our ability to write things down and create abstractions. What matters in the end is that we as a collective understand the brain.
I don’t know if it’s the same in Europe, but here in Canada, I’ve only seen the option to trade in old phones when you’re buying one of the fancier phones with a bunch of bells and whistles I don’t need. There no way they would give me enough for this phone to make up for the price difference.
Also, 40 months is an unusually long time to be holding on to the same phone? What?
I’d also be surprised if no one goes after him for trying to run away from debts. If we know anything, it’s that most laws only apply when they benefit the rich, and he’ll be making a lot of rich people angry if it turns out he did have extra money squirreled away.
The real question is whether the collapse of his house of cards will lead to a 99.7% loss of wealth or >100% loss. He won’t be a billionaire anymore if it’s the latter.
I didn’t expect my decisions to actually affect anything when I played it. Big surprise when I just clicked every dialogue option and things went poorly.
You can also load your save file into the second game and have that affect the story in minor ways, which I thought was pretty cool.
There’s also the “science” that is your policy choices (personal or public policy) based on the science(n) and your values, risk tolerance, and lifestyle. Since the latter factors can change a lot over time, these policies can also fluctuate wildly and give the impression that “science” fluctuates wildly.
I wouldn’t call this a spice any more than I would call table salt or white sugar a spice.
Yes, because they still allow you to spend your money elsewhere if a new storefront appears on the market. Epic is actively preventing that.
There’s a few scenarios where I think it’s worthwhile to get into these discussions online. Listed below in order of how much effort I’d put into it.
The last scenario is the only one where I’m actually trying to change someone’s mind. I do recognize that it’s unlikely, which is also why I wouldn’t put much effort into this. For everything else, the exercise of putting your thoughts into coherent words and thinking in new directions is where the value lies. Having the discussion with someone else forces you to consider many things that you wouldn’t otherwise think about on your own.
Handling hate speech is tangential to promoting logical and well thought out discussions. I believe that this kind of community necessarily has to be homogenous in terms of values, otherwise there’s nothing to discuss. If I want to maximize the number of oranges growing in the orchard and you want to maximize the number apples, then that’s two conflicting goals. If we get into a discussion on how to manage the orchard, it won’t go anywhere because at the end of the day, I don’t care for apples and you don’t care for oranges. There’s no amount of logic that can convince your taste buds to change how they respond.
This makes way more sense than active suppression. If you don’t have an understanding of the context, then you can’t compress the memory. Every sound/sensation/image is unique and had to be remembered as a unique experience.
That would be ideal, but each person has limited time and attention. Advocate for both, but put your efforts into figuring out how to change the thing with the larger impact.
I’ve just been using a plain old pair of scissors
Nowhere does it say that plants decompose bodies. It says they consume us after we’ve been decomposed.
I don’t know if this is available in the US, but I have one of these guys (Starfrit 5kg scale) which I’ve been using multiple times a day every day since I meticulously Calorie count. It’s been over three years and I have yet to replace the battery.
The value in daily notes is having a place to put things down without getting distracted from your main task. The important stuff doesn’t stay there. You move them at a later time to their permanent homes.
