For the same type on task: gtp-j, gpt-neox for exemple. Here a nice list of model you can use: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/index#supported-mod...
It is somewhat a betrayal. Secret negotiation is a way for US and Australia of telling to France (after 30 years of collaboration in Pacific) "We don't want to work on strategic stuff with France anymore".
The thing that make the french government angry is not much the cancellation of the contract, but how it was done it completely in secret behind his back.

You just don't do that to ally on the geopolitical stage.

> "Mind uploading" is the wrong way to look at it. How about "mind copying" for a best case (whether that copying requires the destruction of the original is another issue); "mind simulation" is a less palatable case.

One way we could do it, it's to slowly replace one by one natural neuron by a virtual or synthetic one and by keeping all synapse correctly connected. It should allow an "upload" (well more a conversion) without breaking consciousness continuity.

Their is bodyweight for the posterior and lower body other than air squat. - Pistol squat, shrimp squat, sissy squat, nordic curl, bridge, sprint and many more.

And the progressive overload can be done by exercice variation, you do an harder one.

Exemple: incline push up -> push up -> diamond push up -> pseudo planche push up -> push up on gymnastic ring -> bulagarian push up on ring -> one hand push up.

The current bodyweight fitness is way way past just increasing rep on easy exercice.

I recommend the Recommended routine on reddit /r/bodyweightfitness to start: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...

But when we look at the datas, country that use nuclear power are way way ahead of those that use renewable mix.

Re:Rescuing Economics from Neoliberalism on Monday November 20, 2017 @06:01AM (#15739106)
It depend of the context or/and where you use the term. In the US or for social policies, the term liberalism is used for something like progressivism. In Europe or for economics policies, liberalism means free trade and deregulation.

When an US citizen say liberal, he's talking about society. When an EU citizen say liberal, he's talking about economics. This make sometimes translation difficult.

In the context of the article, while US, with the focus on economics. They are using the classical or the european meaning.

But yeah Republican are conservatives on social policies and liberal on economics policies. Democrat are liberal on social policies and less liberal on economics (but still very liberal compared to an socialist party).

I read somewhere, don't remember where that your healthcare system is more costly because of you're legal system.

There are more legal risk and cost for doctor, hospital, etc.. in the US, so their insurance is (way) more costly, so their price is higher.

But I don't have any data, so that's just an hypothesis. But if this is true, good luck to change that.
