Effectively using GPT-J and GPT-Neo, the GPT-3 open-source alternatives, with few-shot learning
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in category: robotics/AI
GPT-J and GPT-Neo, the open-source alternatives to GPT-3, are among the best NLP models as of this writing. But using them effectively can take practice. Few-shot learning is an NLP technique that works very well with these models.
GPT-J and GPT-Neo.
GPT-Neo and GPT-J are both open-source NLP models, created by EleutherAI (a collective of researchers working to open source AI).

Dubai is making its own fake rain to beat 122F heat
Posted by Jason Blain in categories: drones, geoengineering
Its cloud seeding operations are part of an ongoing mission to generate precipitation in the Middle East country, which has an average rainfall of just four inches.
The enhanced rain is created using drone technology that unleashes electrical charges into clouds in order for them to clump together and form precipitation.
The National reported the heavy rainfall caused waterfalls to appear in the city of Ail Ain and made driving conditions hazardous.

Brain ‘Noise’ Keeps Nerve Connections Young
Posted by Jason Blain in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, genetics, life extension, neuroscience
The findings, published in Nature Communications, could have important implications for human health: minis have been found at every type of synapse studied so far, and defects in miniature neurotransmission have been linked to range of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Figuring out how a reduction in miniature neurotransmission changes the structure of synapses, and how that in turn affects behavior, could help to better understand neurodegenerative disorders and other brain conditions.
Summary: Study reveals how miniature release events help to keep neurons intact and preserve motor neuron function in aging insects.
