Perhaps, if we encourage more people to use privacy preserving tools like Tor browser, signal, etc., then privacy for everyone will be normalized again. One can only hope

And if you're only interested in preserving just some Wiki pages, this browser extension with some automation on top will do the perfect job: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile No affiliation, just a happy user :)

Yet another gem by the genius Fabrice B!

I kinda understand why he would not release the source code. Perhaps, he's finally decided to monetize some of his coding skills. Maybe in the future, he'll start releasing some of those newer and bigger models to the public given that other big corps like FB have started already doing so (GPT-NeoX and OPT - as mentioned in the sibling comment by infinityio)

Great work! Is there a similar project for (local) text generation (NLP) on a CPU + lots of RAM. I mean something transformers-based and of similar quality to GPT-3 (i.e. better than GPT-2). I understand that each prompt would take almost forever to complete but still curious if something like that exists

I am surprised that there have been no responses to your question as this would be like the holly grail for people interested in privacy oriented and robust peer to peer messaging. I wouldn't be able to add much know how to the technical aspects unfortunately.

New comment by krasi0 in "Ask HN: Are you also getting extremely obvious spam bypassing Gmail's filters?"

krasi0 — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 06:07:15 +0000

Yup, getting a few of these each day and manually marking them as Spam (to no avail). Not sure how GMAIL's filter is missing them. A simple regex matcher would catch 99% of those. It seems like even the gmail registration process for the SPAM accounts has been automated?

Quite similar is the situation in neighbouring Bulgaria and I am sure the rest of the Balkan countries as well.

I wish they tried to tackle StarCraft 1 BroodWar AI where the game is (arguably) even harder than SC 2. Besides, there's a healthy BroodWar AI community with some very strong AIs out there.

This is your typical modern "objective" journalism today. The only thing not clear is whoose financial and / or political interests they are trying to boost today. Follow the money / power, I guess?

The same situation in many developing countries around the world. The local taxi cartels have been using lobbying and outright violence to keep ride-sharing services away / banned.

Of all the natural predators mentioned above, only dragonflies make a real difference. It's night and day in the same area depending on whether there's a healthy population of dragonflies nearby.

In some parts of the world, the suffering that you describe already lasts 9+ months of the year. Mosquito swarms literally eat you alive while outside.

krasi0 — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 05:07:16 +0000

I really recommend getting into StarCraft 1 BroodWar AI development using BWAPI. OpenBW is open source and there's a thriving and helpful community around bot development. A lot of tournaments / competitions and video casts too. You won't regret it. Search for the SSCAIT Discord link. (I am on mobile and don't have it handy).

Let's not forget that there are many regions in the world (say in the middle East or Africa) where the situation is constantly volatile to put it mildly and where a nuclear power plant would be impossible to be secured properly against insurgency.

Then why not embed a Prolog engine which being Turing complete is much more powerful and expressive than Datalog?

So what is a good and healthy way to address the situation aside from eating something? Using an insulin pump?

Interesting. I guess your driving factor was that you can use those directly from Python. How's the performance (with many many rules)?
