I tried it for three months. It pauses randomly in my browser and Google Home. The "radio" feature repeats songs like crazy, the queuing is super confusing and inconsistent (it depends on the "type" of playlist you are listening to IIUC) and it consistently recommended me the same songs.
It had some nice features too, but I decided to quit. Now I'm just listening to my collection of mp3s but not super happy.
It was a blast. Between my partner and I, we've got about 30 burns below our belts and have led two different 3-story burnable structures centered on community, play, and curiosity. Doing a comedy piece was new territory, but a lot of work went into making the most guady, out-of-place, consumerist looking strip-mall pawn shop we could. So much detail, and all of it just a bit off. It took people off guard, which for the older burners was a very welcome change, and for the newer ones it just seemed to confuse them.
My favorite memory was two satanist girls who were on a lot of acid and who knows what else absolutely losing their shit. I think, in the end, we were all laughing at how depressing poorly regulated capitalism can be sometimes. I still laugh whenever I see pay-day loan stores.
FINALLY! I've been wanting to remix these kind of songs into hiphop songs for a long time. This is such a weird victory for music producers. These are a gold mine for hip hop sampling.
From the wikipedia page: In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.
At the point of them taking in input to process, audio that comes from a microphone or comes from a file is basically just a series of numbers and is the same. So there's no barrier in terms of feasibility.
Whether they're all set up to do that "off the shelf" is a different matter but it should be fairly straightforward to add this to any that lack it and because they're open-source anyone could do a bit of Googling etc and find suitable code to adapt to do it. I know DeepSpeech definitely can take audio from files directly as input as I've used it that way before, and I strongly expect many (or possibly all) of the others could too.
I did almost exactly the same thing at my last job. I'm a game dev and they provided us all with woefully underpowered MacBooks that didn't even have a dedicated GPU. The game engine was constantly crashing while working and making it very difficult to get anything done. I recorded the amount of time wasted on these crashes over the course of a week.
I then proved to management that there was about 5 hours a week being completely wasted for me waiting for my machine to open applications after they crash. So after that we all got new MacBooks that were properly spec'd out for game development. I got to pick the specs :)
Yeah this part is something that annoys me but lots of the Unity team is working on macbooks, even though it's only a relevant platform for iOS as far as the end user is concerned.
I would say you're wrong. I know this is anectdata but I'm a non-single millenial, and my girlfriend and I have decided to never have kids because we value our own happiness and wellbeing too much to sacrifice it raising a child. We would be happy to live this type of lifestyle.
Edit: and it has nothing to do with our income. We're both 6 figure engineers.
May I suggest your understanding of the word "happiness" will change as you age? My happiness at 25 is not the same as at 50.
As a male I guess society is on your side and you can be a late father if you find a willing younger partner. For your girlfriend however it's no dice: at 50 and childless I assume earlier happiness may taste different.
my daughters about the same age, and she's gone from never having kids to the opposite in the space of a few years.
I recommend it, it makes your life chaotic and costs money, but its the best thing in the world, you'll never be the same. Think about how you'd be in your 50's or later with no kids, I don't know anyone that said they're glad they didn't have kids, but I do know a few that are sad they didn't. Just a random internet guys opinion.
Careful not to go too overboard for this. I won't say the company's name for fear that I may work there one day. At my last job, a large enterprise database provider wouldn't provide any support to us unless we agreed to pay them upwards of $60k a year for a product we weren't going to use. And we weren't exactly a small customer for them either, we just weren't as big as some of their others. Don't become the toxic one yourself!
Does anyone know if they'll ever release the models for GPT-3 so we can train/re-train then ourselves? Or is GPT-3 so general that it doesn't need retraining?
I don’t know if they will release the models, but are you sure you can train a 170 billion parameter model? Last I heard it’s around 500GB, which would require serious infrastructure.
What's interesting with machine learning is that in a few years time algorithms get efficient enough to train the same quality models on commodity hardware. At the same time organizations are always a few years ahead :(
At least where I'm from in the US, there is no "bulk goods aisle" in the grocery. It makes it a hell of a lot harder to eat healthy because we have no alternatives to canned and packaged goods in many categories of foods.
Whole Foods does. There's also bulk grain stores most everywhere there's "regular" grocery stores, but of course far fewer because there's little demand for such. Bulk goods also trivial to buy online.
I honestly never thought to try online just because I was worried about food safety during shipment. I could try Whole Foods but everything I've bought there in the past has been massively overpriced. I haven't shopped there since Amazon acquired them though, our local chain has been fine for most of my needs, besides bulk goods.
