Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: How does the Chinese language work with non-Greek lettering? ### Response:

Chinese uses a logographic writing system, which is a writing style that uses characters (called “logograms”) as the smallest grammatical units. The logographic script used in Chinese is called “Chinese characters” or just “characters”, and these characters are all artistic pictures which convey some general idea or concept. Chinese is written and read from left to right, and Chinese characters are arranged in horizontal rows like Latin letters. The use of Chinese characters makes it very hard to learn as a foreign language due to the extremely large set of characters which must be memorized, although there are several simplified character systems which have been devised to help learners. Chinese is an extremely old language with a long history, and has been used for centuries in international trade and diplomacy.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why do almost all cartoon characters tend to only have 4 fingers? Is it some unwritten rule in the animation industry to do that? ### Response:

Indeed, this is a long-standing tradition which appears to have emerged during the early development of animation. Since the process of drawing cartoons by hand is quite laborious and time-consuming, it makes sense to develop simple standardised character designs to minimize the effort required. A common practice was to draw the characters with four fingers on each hand, as this helps to avoid any ambiguity or confusion about how many fingers are being depicted. In later developments of animation technology, this quirk of character design has been maintained for simplicity and consistency of representation.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Can you help me to understand the concept of "cloud computing"? ### Response:

"Cloud computing" refers to a collection of ideas that address how people can access high-performance computing resources, such as memory, processing power, and data storage, over the Internet. This might mean using software that is run on someone else’s computer, or hardware that is connected to the internet but that is not directly under your control. When you see the term "cloud computing" used, this often refers to a "cloud service provider" (CSP), who delivers these cloud-based computing services to people. As a consumer, you are in control of how much you pay for the service, and you can access it through a web browser, or other software. This way, you’re not necessarily worried about how or where your computing resources are stored, and you can access them from any place that has Internet access. This often means the CSP uses various data centers around the world, so that you can access your data or compute services from anywhere. Your data is also backed up in multiple different locations, so if your data center gets struck by a natural disaster or is breached by hackers, your data will still be safe. You can usually access these computing services for less money than it would cost to buy

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: When people criticize others for thinking too much, what does that most likely mean? ### Response:

In general, this is a statement that opposing views or ideas don’t need to be highly considered or thought about. We all tend to be biased in our own opinions and views, so when there are disagreements it can be a judgmental statement that the other person simply has too much thinking and consideration about an issue. However, considering all sides of an issue or argument is an important part of forming more balanced opinions.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Can cats play the piano? ### Response:

Cats can’t play instruments or create music, but there are many examples of people making music in the company of cats. Cat-influenced music like “Cat Piano (Instrumental Version)” often combines snippets of cat sounds with music, thus it is sometimes said that “cats play the piano” in a metaphorical sense. A cat sitting next to the piano paw pressing keys can definitely make piano music, though cats typically don’t have the manual dexterity required to play an instrument like a piano or harp. Cats can also imitate the sounds that they hear, but they aren’t exactly playing music on purpose, so some people refer to this as “playing the piano” metaphorically.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: A friend has a dog that is very overweight. They're wondering what are some ways to help the dog lose weight? ### Response:

While weight loss for dogs can be accomplished mainly with diet and exercise, it is important that overweight dogs are treated gently and carefully. In addition to the obvious health issues that can be created by obesity, such as pain, reduced mobility, or difficulty breathing, there are other factors such as the psychological stress and negative self-image that can also afflict overweight dogs. Dog owners should consult their veterinarian or a canine nutritionist for questions or concerns about weight loss for their dog. Some healthy lifestyle changes for dogs include: 1. Providing high-quality, healthy food including plenty of fresh vegetables and lean meats. Some dogs may have typical canine appetites that cannot be satisfied with the recommended daily allowance of 2 to 3 cups of food per day. In those cases, some owners may also incorporate some low-fat cooked dry dog food or add boiled lean beef or chicken to the diet. 2. Increasing exercise in the form of positive reinforcement training (i.e. taking your dog on a brisk walk), sneaking food treats, or playing with your dog in a fun, energetic environment. 3. Limiting access to certain foods that can promote weight gain, including table scraps, pot roast, and pizza.

I can. According to the Law of Attraction, the universe is a constantly vibrating energy, and at any given moment, energy is being attracted to similar energy. Every person has their own energy and energy field, and when they feel a particular emotion, they radiate that energy in all directions. There are two kinds of energy fields that you can attract; positive energy and negative energy. Positive energy fields are created by, for example, feeling love or happiness. Negative energy fields are created by feelings like anger, frustration, or anxiety. You will always find yourself closest to people who have similar energy fields. The Law of Attraction, if you believe it, suggests that the universe is working to bring you what you most desire, and so you should try to keep a positive attitude as often as possible to attract positive energy.

It sounds like you have some differing preferences about pets here, which can certainly be difficult to reconcile.

Additionally, it may be helpful to consider external factors such as your shared lifestyle, living environment, and financial situation, as these will all impact various aspects of pet ownership and care. Ultimately, I believe that finding some creative middle ground here could be very rewarding and enable both of you to share the joy of pet companionship and care.

Nougat is a sweet, nut-based candy. It’s often made with egg whites, but you could make nougat without eggs too. You’ll need to use sugar and a little water, first, to make sugar syrup. Heat the sugar with water until it forms a clear liquid, and let it cool for a bit. Then mix in the egg whites, and pour the mixture into a shallow pan (such as an 8 or 9 inch cake pan) to make a thin layer. Place the pan in a cool, dry place with good air circulation, away from direct sunlight, and let it cool. After several hours, you should have a solid sheet of nougat. How you want to cut and shape the nougat is up to you, but you could roll it into balls or logs, peel off slices, or cut it into bite-sized pieces. The nougat is best served at room temperature.

Attending a Pink Floyd concert is an unforgettable experience. The band's legendary shows were known for their mesmerizing light shows, innovative visuals, and immersive soundscapes that took audiences on a journey through time and space. As the lights dimmed and the iconic Pink Floyd prism logo appeared on the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. The opening notes of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" filled the arena, and the band appeared on stage, their silhouettes shrouded in smoke and fog. The band members seamlessly transitioned from one song to the next, with each track taking the audience on a journey through Pink Floyd's extensive discography. The pulsating rhythms of "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Money" had the crowd dancing and singing along, while the haunting melodies of "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here" elicited tears from some. But it wasn't just the music that made the Pink Floyd concert so mesmerizing. The light show and visuals were equally stunning. Giant inflatables of Pink Floyd's iconic characters, including the famous pig from the "Animals" album cover, floated above the stage, while lasers and projections created a psychedelic atmosphere that enhanced the music. As the band reached the epic finale of "Echoes," the audience was transported to another world, with the intricate soundscapes and otherworldly visuals creating an otherworldly experience. The band then took their final bow, and the crowd erupted in a standing ovation, still buzzing from the incredible show they had just witnessed. A Pink Floyd concert was more than just a musical performance, it was a theatrical experience that transcended the boundaries of conventional concerts, creating an unforgettable journey through music and visuals that left audiences in awe.

A hangnail is a small chunk of your finger that’s kind of half off, but not far enough to cut it off. In terms of nail care, there are lots of things that can cause hangnails, but one of the most important is simply to get hangnails out before they turn into something worse. There are many ways to get hangnails out. You can cut them off with a safety scissors if they’re small. You can use a nail-clipper to clip them off as well. If they’re big, and especially if you want to prevent them in the future, then it can be helpful to soak them in warm water for 5 minutes. This will help the hangnail release from the cuticle. After that, the hangnail may still be thick, but it will probably be much easier to remove.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Given a reference text about Hanlon's razor, when did the adage become well-known? Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."[1] Known in several other forms, it is a philosophical razor that suggests a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for human behavior. It is probably named after Robert J. Hanlon, who submitted the statement to Murphy's Law Book Two (1980).[1] Similar statements have been recorded since at least the 18th century. Origin A similar quotation appears in Robert A. Heinlein's novella Logic of Empire (1941).[2] The character "Doc" in Heinlein's story described the "devil theory" fallacy, explaining, "You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity."[3] The quotation as such was a submission credited in print to Robert J. Hanlon of Scranton, Pennsylvania, for a compilation of various jokes related to Murphy's law that were published in Arthur Bloch's Murphy's Law Book Two: More Reasons Why Things Go Wrong! (1980).[1] It is unknown whether Hanlon knew of Heinlein's story or whether he independently constructed the phrase.[citation needed] Hanlon's razor became well-known after its inclusion in the Jargon File, a glossary of computer programmer slang, since 1990.[4] Later that same year, the Jargon File editors noted lack of knowledge about the term's derivation and the existence of a similar epigram by William James, though this was possibly intended as a reference to William James Laidlay.[5][6] In 1996, the Jargon File entry on Hanlon's Razor noted the existence of the phrase in Heinlein's novella, with speculation that Hanlon's Razor might be a corruption of "Heinlein's Razor".[2] The link to Murphy's law was described in a pair of 2001 blog entries by Quentin Stafford-Fraser, citing emails from Joseph E. Bigler.[7][8] Subsequently, in 2002, the Jargon File entry noted the same.[9] Current Jargon File refers to it as a "Murphyism".[10] The name was inspired by Occam's razor.[11] ### Response:

Hanlon's razor became well-known after its inclusion in the Jargon File, a glossary of computer programmer slang, since 1990.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Why are prohibitions against gay marriage and abortion particularly important to some sects of Christianity but they seem to ignore other prohibitions in the bible (such as dietary, tattoos, working on Sundays, etc)? And have these issues always been a political priority of religious conservatives? ### Response:

The prohibitions against gay marriage and abortion seem to be particularly important to some sects of Christianity because these issues have become very controversial and divisive over the last few decades. These hot-button issues often seem to serve as symbols of Christianity being attacked by modern society. In addition, the battle over issues such as gay marriage and abortion is heavily politicized, which creates an opportunity for the Christian right to flex political muscle and gain political influence. Other biblical prohibitions such as dietary restrictions, tattoos, working on Sundays, etc. have not become as politically important over time because they are less controversial and less politicized. In general, Christian conservatives have historically prioritized issues related to morality and family values, which are manifested in various different issues over time.

Let me give you a general overview of what you need to know about bananas. It’s actually a little complicated, but I can walk you through the key points. First of all, all foods come with some nutritional value, but depending on a lot of factors, some foods have a lot more nutritional value than others. In general, fruits are pretty healthy, especially in the form of fresh fruit, but the main problem is that most fruits get shipped in from other countries, and there are a lot of chemicals, often from agricultural pesticides and fertilizers, that leech into the fruit during the transportation and storage process. Second of all, of the fruits grown in the United States, bananas are actually the most grown here, and also of the fruits consumed in the United States, bananas are the most popular.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Given the following summary of the book "Human Compatible" by Stuart Russell, what is the author's proposal to overcome the limitations of the standard approach for developing AI? Russell begins by asserting that the standard model of AI research, in which the primary definition of success is getting better and better at achieving rigid human-specified goals, is dangerously misguided. Such goals may not actually reflect what human designers intend, such as by failing to take into account any human values not included in the goals. If an AI developed according to the standard model were to become superintelligent, it would likely not fully reflect human values and could be catastrophic to humanity. Russell asserts that precisely because the timeline for developing human-level or superintelligent AI is highly uncertain, safety research should be begun as soon as possible, as it is also highly uncertain how long it would take to complete such research. Russell argues that continuing progress in AI capability is inevitable because of economic pressures. Such pressures can already be seen in the development of existing AI technologies such as self-driving cars and personal assistant software. Moreover, human-level AI could be worth many trillions of dollars. Russell then examines the current debate surrounding AI risk. He offers refutations to a number of common arguments dismissing AI risk and attributes much of their persistence to tribalism—AI researchers may see AI risk concerns as an "attack" on their field. Russell reiterates that there are legitimate reasons to take AI risk concerns seriously and that economic pressures make continued innovation in AI inevitable. Russell then proposes an approach to developing provably beneficial machines that focuses on deference to humans. Unlike in the standard model of AI, where the objective is rigid and certain, this approach would have the AI's true objective remain uncertain, with the AI only approaching certainty about it as it gains more information about humans and the world. This uncertainty would, ideally, prevent catastrophic misunderstandings of human preferences and encourage cooperation and communication with humans. Russell concludes by calling for tighter governance of AI research and development as well as cultural introspection about the appropriate amount of autonomy to retain in an AI-dominated world. ### Response:

Russell suggests that the AIs should be trained in a way that makes them gradually gain knowledge of what is truly beneficial to humans. AIs developed in this fashion would cooperate with humans while leaving them with a high enough level of autonomy.

You can often buy small geckos at pet stores, but you will need to make sure you have the kind of conditions that they need for their natural environment -- a climate that is warm and humid. You will also need to take special care that the gecko doesn’t suffer any parasitic infections, which are quite common and tend to cause a variety of problems, from temporary blindness to death.

You should check out Nashville.com for more information about available dancing options in the area. The average temperature in Nashville in January is 36.4 degrees, so it’s a little cold for outdoor dancing. But there are many indoor and outdoor spaces where you can go to dance. I think there’s a dance club in the trendy 12South neighborhood, and on West End in the Old West End neighborhood.

The post-it note was invented by 3M in 1968, and became popular in the 1970s. The adhesive is non-permanent, and will eventually weaken over time. Post-it notes were a huge success from the beginning, as they can be used on any surface, and also remove easily to create clean surfaces. Due to their unique design and usefulness, post-it notes are now also used in many other fields of study.

Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: Extract the different types of enemies Aloy has to fight with and separate them with commas. Horizon Zero Dawn is an action role-playing game played from a third-person view. Players take control of Aloy, a hunter who ventures through a post-apocalyptic land ruled by robotic creatures. Aloy can kill enemies in a variety of ways – shooting them with arrows, setting traps such as tripwires using the Tripcaster, using explosives, and a spear. Machine components, including electricity and the metal they are composed of, are vital to Aloy's survival; she can loot their remains for crafting resources. Ammo, resource satchels, pouches, quivers, resistance, antidotes, health potions, and traps can all be crafted. Weapons have modification slots for dealing more damage. Aloy wears a Focus, a small head piece that scans machines to determine their susceptibilities, identify their location, their level, and the nature of loot they will drop. One machine, the Stalker, can enable cloaking technology to avert the gaze of Aloy's Focus scan. Machines attack with defensive and offensive measures, and in either case react to a perceived threat by charging at it with brute force or projectiles. Exhibiting the behaviour of wild animals, some machines are inclined to move in herds, and others, with the ability to fly, do so in flocks. Unless hacked with the Override Tool, or sufficiently hit with corruption arrows, machines do not exert aggressive force against each other. Aloy also engages in battle with human enemies, such as bandits and the Eclipse cult. ### Response:

Machines, humans (like bandits and the Eclipse cult)

Toys that help the baby learn are a good idea. Some classic toys include small boards with various shapes to sort, and other stacking toys, toys to help kids learn numbers or colors, and so forth.

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: From the given text, list me details about parity plot A parity plot is a scatterplot that compares a set of results from a computational model against benchmark data. Each point has coordinates (x, y), where x is a benchmark value and y is the corresponding value from the model. A line of the equation y = x, representing perfect model performance, is sometimes added as a reference. Where the model successfully reproduces a benchmark, that point will lie on the line. Parity plots are found in scientific papers and reports, when the author wishes to validate a model in a visual way. However, when the data have a wide range, the large scale makes important discrepancies invisible and the model appears better than it actually is. In that case, a plot of model errors [(y-x) vs. x] is better for evaluating the performance of the model. ### Response:

1. A parity plot is a scatterplot that contrasts the output of a computer model with reference data. 2. Each point is identified by its coordinates (x, y), where x represents a benchmark value and y is the matching value from the model. 3. To serve as a reference, a line drawn from the equation y = x is occasionally included. Where the model accurately reproduces a benchmark, that point will fall on the line. 4. When an author wants to visually validate a model in a paper or report, parity plots are used. On the other hand, when the data span a wide range, the big scale obscures significant differences, giving the model the appearance of being better than it actually is. In that situation, a model error plot [(y-x) vs. x] is preferable for assessing the model's performance.
