Google deserves credit for how they have been handling the Stadia shut down IMHO.
The current handling is what I’d like to call a Selbstverständlichkeit.

1. diverse - This is likely German and standard on German gender selectors, it refers to anybody who identifies as neither male nor female.
2. Mrs Prof Dr. - Again this is likely German, and is not a gender selector, rather a title selector. It is standard in Germany to use both Prof and Dr titles, the Mrs then implies female. You wouldn't use it conversationally.
I actually say „Herr/Frau Professor Doktor Agolio“ irl when I want something from that person.
JSON5 makers apparently didn’t even know about prototype pollution until this week.

I thought about doing this when I was a teen. :)
> What's the proper control to use for interacting with a navigation
1. Voice control
2. Pull over
My Audi has a knob which I can rotate in order to navigate through the menus without taking my eyes off the street. It also has a touch screen, but I only use it when standing still.

It's less about engineering ability. For sure, OpenAI has phenomenal technical talent, but large tech co's do too, and in fact, many of them have internal developments that match (maybe exceed) GPT3 / ChatGPT.
It's more about organizational bureaucracy, innovator's dilemma, organizational priority, risk tolerance given the scrutiny they're under, etc.

Had a funny google prompt today which echoed wrong results by their ML model: https://www.google.com/search?q=single%20neighbor%20country

What is the relative difficult of each required part in training GPT3/ChatGPT? E.g. where is OpenAI's moat, and how wide is it?
Is it in model design (now published), data set, engineering needed to train it, cost of hardware needed to train it, cost of HLRF on top of GPT3 to make ChatGPT?
It’s easier to train on all github repos if you own github. There is no real alternative to codex.
Stuff like GPT3 is trying to be recreated, but even the eleuther AI guys only collected like 800GB training data, which is much less than what OpenAI has (iirc around 45TB). And apparently their data is very high quality. EleutherAI is pretty much one of the few big model open source competitors with GPT-Neox etc.
Plus openai has great branding.

It’s a Silicon Valley pro-tip: spelling and grammatical mistakes are signs that you’re super busy or too rich to care.
There’s a few famous VCs that are apparently too busy to ever capitalize a letter... Too busy to shift!
Or maybe they write on an iphone. I had to turn auto capitalization off because it would capitalize emoticons after a full stop: turning xD into Xd
No thanks. I already see where this one is going. Chronology and non-personalizing has become a good litmus test over the last decade of social.
I'll get my news, viral and not, on Mastodon instead. It's such a relief to be there. Like being able to breathe fresh air, not a stale echo chamber that is built for me.
The people on the server are somehow all like minded people. There is rarely any disagreeing going on. The missing exposure to diverse perspective makes mastodon boring to me, and is the reason why I stopped using it.
Maybe I used it wrong ¯\(°_°)/¯
