That argument might hold for other countries but not for Norway, which is one of the richest in the world.

Norway values equality over tax revenue, so when billionaires leave, it actually enhances the country's equality.

AFAIK the Medieval Warm Period was indeed a time with high temperatures but this was mostly local (restricted to few areas), while the current increase in temperature is global and is also clearly linked to human activites

So true. I still own a Sony ereader and although the battery is a little worn off, the whole ease of use with epub or pdf is remarkable (its nearly 10 years old now). I really wonder why they stopped producing them

Regarding number 4) this seems very similar to the board game Stratego [1] where part of the squares can not be stepped on. Also you only see your opponents pieces when you attack!

Re:OpenAI releases larger GPT-2 model on Wednesday May 15, 2019 @04:21AM (#19917382)
I tried it on The Office quotes [1] and it seems to generate some more or less humorous examples

Nice work! I was wondering if you noticed changes in the output coherence during training?

I fine-tuned it on the corpus of The Office quotes [1] and I noticed that a loss of around 0.9 gives me the most 'humorous' outputs. This may be subjective but I think for comedy the surprise plays a huge role and for longer training (and loss around 0.4) it feels overly unsurprising and therefore less funny. I also tried sampling with temperatures >1 but then it just goes crazy (e.g. some outputs are completely in Latin).

Re:Show HN: Alphazero chess re-analysis on Tuesday December 12, 2017 @05:18AM (#15904363)
I wrote a simple library for finding surprising moves and wanted to re-analyse one of AlphaZero's games against Stockfish.

Just tell me if you want to see more games analysed like that.

Hi! Thanks for taking your time doing this. Are there projects in the intersection between deep learning and neuroscience? As mentioned there are people with neuroscience background but from the papers mentioned, I dont see something really neuroscience related.

I am rather curious what type of company you created. You mentioned sports science? Something in the direction of moneyball?
Re:Finding surprising moves in chess games on Wednesday December 14, 2016 @09:21AM (#13176088)
Hi! I'm the author of this little library. Somebody apparently took it from my reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/5i54lu/how_to_quanti...) and linked it here. Thank you for doing that, i haven't thought this would interest so many people!

I hope i can answer some of your questions given more time but I have to say there are some very cool suggestions here and in the reddit thread which i have to keep in mind.
