Atlanta United’s Thiago Almada May Have Boosted His Transfer Value Saturday … Without Playing
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Of all the voices calling for Major League Soccer to stop through FIFA international match windows, Thiago Almada’s agent is unlikely to be one of them. Almada’s value as arguably the most certain European-bound current MLS star has been in plain sight through his opening four games of the 2023 Regular season. The 21-year-old Argentine ( who is already a World Cup winner ) merely scored four goals and assisted four more to start the new campaign, helping his team earn 10 points from 12 in the process. But any lingering doubts of his value to his current club were truly erased by the misery his side endured on Saturday night in their first game of the year without him. With Almada one of several Atlanta players away on international duty, a team that entered having won back-to-back games by a combined seven-goal margin was on the other side of a 6-1 hiding to a Columbus Crew team also missing key internationals. And … [Read more...] about Atlanta United’s Thiago Almada May Have Boosted His Transfer Value Saturday … Without Playing
Ten Questions With OpenAI On Reinforcement Learning With Human Feedback
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Recently, we interviewed Long Ouyang and Ryan Lowe, research scientists at OpenAI . As the creators of InstructGPT – one of the first major applications of reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to train large language models – the two played an important role in the evolution of RLHF models and paving the way for GPT-4. Here are some highlights from the conversation. What's the motivation behind InstructGPT? And what are the problems with GPT-3 that inspired InstructGPT? Long Ouyang: I think one of the main issues we’re trying to solve is that when GPT-3 came out there was a lot of excitement about using it to do useful cognitive work, for example, summarizing a news article. Out of the box it’s not exactly designed to do that, it’s designed to predict what someone on the internet might say in a given setting. And it turns out that you can kind of trick the model into performing useful work for you … [Read more...] about Ten Questions With OpenAI On Reinforcement Learning With Human Feedback
TRAPPIST-1’s Planets May Have Shockingly Similar Compositions, Says NASA
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The nearby TRAPPIST-1 star system’s seven rocky planets have compositions that appear to be both low in density and maybe even shockingly similar, an international team of astronomers reported this week. New, more precise observational mass estimates of these rocky low-mass planets orbiting the cool red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, make it clear that this alien solar system is radically different from our own. “These planets could have accreted directly from the protoplanetary disk around a much cooler star than the Sun,” Erik Asphaug, a planetary geophysicist at the University of Arizona, who was not part of the study, told me. The international team of researchers used 1000 hours of observing time on NASA’s now decommissioned Spitzer Space Telescope to make their observations. Their findings, reported in the Planetary Science Journal , make it clear that this bizarre alien solar system —- located nearly 40 light years … [Read more...] about TRAPPIST-1’s Planets May Have Shockingly Similar Compositions, Says NASA
In Healthcare’s Game Of Monopoly, One Player Will Control The Board
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In healthcare, as in life, people devote a lot of time and attention to the way things should be. They’d be better off focusing on what actually could be. As an example, 57% to 70% of American voters believe our nation “should” adopt a single-payer healthcare system like Medicare For All. Likewise, public health advocates insist that more of the nation’s $4 trillion healthcare budget “should” be spent on combating the social determinants of health: things like housing insecurity, low-wage jobs and other socioeconomic stresses. Neither of these ideas will happen, nor will dozens of positive healthcare solutions that “should” happen. When the things that should happen don’t, there’s always a reason. In healthcare, the biggest roadblock to change is what I call the conglomerate of monopolies , which includes hospitals , drug companies , private-equity-staked physicians and commercial health insurers . These … [Read more...] about In Healthcare’s Game Of Monopoly, One Player Will Control The Board
Reviving Retail: The Recommerce Revolution Is Helping Cash-Strapped Consumers
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The cost of living crisis continues to challenge UK shoppers, as prices for food essentials like bread, milk and cheese continue to rise. The stark reality of the impact of food price inflation can be seen in the latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which tell us that 3 percent of families across the United Kingdom (2.1 million people) used a food bank in the year ending March 2022. In a true north/south divide reality, families in the north of England and Scotland were most likely to interact with a food bank service in the last year. As the appetite for non-essential shopping continues to be suppressed, more consumers are turning to second hand sales platforms and discount retailers as a way to save. UK sales volumes saw a 1.2 percent in February 2023 according to figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS); the most significant increase since October 2022 but nonetheless subdued. … [Read more...] about Reviving Retail: The Recommerce Revolution Is Helping Cash-Strapped Consumers
Sagi Rodin Creates Frontegg Customer Management And Identity Platform For SaaS App Builders
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The arrival of Software as a service or SaaS platforms may have started with Salesforce.com in 1999, but the business model has reached near ubiquity today.

What Is Chelsea’s Plan For Mykhailo Mudryk And Is He Doing Enough To Impress?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An image circulated around social media after England’s 2-0 win over Ukraine that depicted Bukayo Saka skipping away from Mykhailo Mudryk, pained expression, sat on the ground. Arsenal fans took delight in the sight of their winger prompting such a moment of reflection from a player who could have joined them in January. Mudryk was Arsenal’s top target for months before Chelsea swooped in. Now at Stamford Bridge instead, the 22-year-old has struggled to find his feet for his new club, going six Premier PINC League matches without finding the back of the net. Substituted after 60 minutes against England, Mudryk looked low on confidence. Potter has settled on a front three of Joao Felix, Kai Havertz and one other with Christian Pulisic possibly ahead of Mudryk in the pecking order as things currently stand. This raises the question - what is Chelsea’s plan for the Ukrainian winger? How will Mudryk fit into Potter’s … [Read more...] about What Is Chelsea’s Plan For Mykhailo Mudryk And Is He Doing Enough To Impress?
