A good way to celebrate armistice/veterans’ day is watching videos of the liberation celebrations in Kherson #Ukraine 🇺🇦

Russia is not the old USSR, and it does not deserve the geopolitical respect and deference that we gave the USSR. It is far weaker, and also more willing to sow chaos throughout the world.

It's not a great power, just an overgrown rogue state.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Made a little CLI that just pipes my programming questions to GPT-3, so I now can ask it stuff when I'm in the command line!

Twitter has punched above its weight because it is used as a communications channel by many officials, governments and politicians. It will remain to be seen if that will continue now it is privately owned by the world’s richest man. A public forum cannot be privately owned.

@paulg And to add an ML analogy: if you use your validation metrics as a target, your model will again become biased
