Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Green is at the top of the list of hot colors for 2023, and it’s showing up in a variety of places—from pen and watch collections, to fashion and home décor. Here are a few well-known brands that have taken the trend to heart. Pelikan Special Edition Souverän 800 Green Demonstrator This Special Edition Souverän 800 Green Demonstrator may look familiar to long-time pen aficionados at first glance, since a similar green Pelikan Demonstrator was introduced in 1992. But there are a couple of important design updates featured her—like the modernized cap ring and turning knob for the piston-filling system. The body of the pen is a springtime grass green that is vibrant and energizing, and the transparent cap and barrel—the very definition of a demonstrator pen—allow a great view of the inner workings of the pen, as well as the status of its ink supply.

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.

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.

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
