But yea, DELETEing is faster than creating a DB from template (depends on how much you have to delete, of course). However, templates allow parallelism by giving its test its own database. I ended up doing a mix of both: create a DB if there's not one available, or reuse one if available, always tearing down data.
TRUNCATE is faster than DELETE. You could have 100 dbs, each test first acquires one, runs, truncates, releases. No need to create more dbs on the fly.
> Create a blockchain-based AI-powered VR platform that allows pet owners to monitor and interact with their pets remotely, providing real-time feedback on their health, behavior, and emotions. Incorporate web3 technology to ensure secure and transparent data management, and leverage VR/AR to create an immersive experience for both pets and owners. This startup idea taps into the growing trend of tech running through every industry, while also addressing the need for innovative solutions that benefit both pets and humans.
All I need now is a tool that will generate the YC application
First part is correct, the second part is not. GPT Neo is a 2.7B param model, the largest GPT is 175B (they have various flavours, up to 175B). I appreciate the sentiment and what ElutherAI is doing with GPT Neo, but there is no open source equivlenet of the full GPT-3 available for the public to use. Hopefuly it's just a matter of time.
GPT-J is 6B and comes pretty close. Also practically I haven’t noticed a difference.
Keep in mind there are also closed source alternatives: for example, AI21’s Jurassic-1 models are comparable, cheaper, and technically larger (albeit somewhat comically, 178B instead of 175B parameters).
He spends a lot of his money on giving back: 42, a free programming bootcamp (https://www.42.fr/), Station F, a huge co-working space in Paris which hosts entrepreneurs for free (https://stationf.co/)
He also has a very active VC/Business Angel fund (he funds 2 early stage startups every week out of his own pocket).
His telecom company (free) helped divide by 2 the average price of mobile plans in France.
All in all, his impact seems very positive, I'd love to understand why you think he is evil
Complaints about issues with page design appear frequently. There's a couple problems with them. One is that they distract from the topic of the submission, which is the reason why it's here. That's doubly the case when there aren't many comments yet, because threads are sensitive to initial conditions.
The other reason is that there are only a few such complaints that get recycled over and over, so they tend to be repetitive. Curiosity withers under repetition, and curiosity is what this site is for.
This doesn't mean that good page design isn't important, it means that part of the art of contributing well to a forum like HN is to resist bringing certain kinds of important things into the threads.
Because control should be where caps lock is on most keyboards.
It is the one key re-map I cannot live without.
(Anyone who used a Sun keyboard for a considerable period time is familiar with this layout. I do not know if any other systems predated Sun in this regard.)
Sun (founded 1982) was certainly not the first. The Apple II (1977) put CTRL to the left of A, and every other II followed suit. I'm sure they weren't the first, either. The original IBM PC's Model F keyboard (1981) put control to the left of A, too.
The Macintosh didn't originally have a CTRL key, so Caps Lock went there. The first Mac to have CTRL seems to be the Macintosh II and SE, where you were offered the choice of the Apple Keyboard (control left of A) or Apple Extended Keyboard (caps lock left of A). Thus began decades of confusion.
Interestingly, the NeXT keyboard (1988) had no caps lock.

I believe the ASR33 may be the originator of Ctrl to the left of A:
Other influential terminals such as the DEC VT series, and the ADM-3A also placed Ctrl along the home row (although on many of the DEC keyboards, there were two keys in the modern Caps Lock position - Ctrl to the left, and Caps Lock on the right).
Many early home computers had Ctrl in this position, including the Apple II and the original IBM PC.
The very first Sun workstation used a keyboard with the same layout as the DEC VT100, it then evolved into the more well known Sun layout, which later inspired the Happy Hacking Keyboard,
Because ctrl is important for terminal users, but Mac keyboards have it only in a very awkward almost unreachable place - so remapping caps lock to ctrl is a very common fix (which is supported natively in the settings app, too).
