(It’s worth emphasizing that there’s no “theory” being used here it’s just a matter of what’s been found to work in practice. And, in keeping with the idea of voodoo, there’s a particular so-called “temperature” parameter that determines how often lower-ranked words will be used, and for essay generation, it turns out that a “temperature” of 0.8 seems best. The fact that there’s randomness here means that if we use the same prompt multiple times, we’re likely to get different essays each time. But if sometimes (at random) we pick lower-ranked words, we get a “more interesting” essay. Because for some reason-that maybe one day we’ll have a scientific-style understanding of-if we always pick the highest-ranked word, we’ll typically get a very “flat” essay, that never seems to “show any creativity” (and even sometimes repeats word for word). But this is where a bit of voodoo begins to creep in. the one to which the highest “probability” was assigned). But which one should it actually pick to add to the essay (or whatever) that it’s writing? One might think it should be the “highest-ranked” word (i.e. (More precisely, as I’ll explain, it’s adding a “token”, which could be just a part of a word, which is why it can sometimes “make up new words”.)īut, OK, at each step it gets a list of words with probabilities. But the end result is that it produces a ranked list of words that might follow, together with “probabilities”:Īnd the remarkable thing is that when ChatGPT does something like write an essay what it’s essentially doing is just asking over and over again “given the text so far, what should the next word be?”-and each time adding a word. ChatGPT effectively does something like this, except that (as I’ll explain) it doesn’t look at literal text it looks for things that in a certain sense “match in meaning”. Imagine scanning billions of pages of human-written text (say on the web and in digitized books) and finding all instances of this text-then seeing what word comes next what fraction of the time. So let’s say we’ve got the text “ The best thing about AI is its ability to”. The first thing to explain is that what ChatGPT is always fundamentally trying to do is to produce a “reasonable continuation” of whatever text it’s got so far, where by “reasonable” we mean “what one might expect someone to write after seeing what people have written on billions of webpages, etc.” (And the essence of what I’ll say applies just as well to other current “large language models” as to ChatGPT.) I should say at the outset that I’m going to focus on the big picture of what’s going on-and while I’ll mention some engineering details, I won’t get deeply into them. But how does it do it? And why does it work? My purpose here is to give a rough outline of what’s going on inside ChatGPT-and then to explore why it is that it can do so well in producing what we might consider to be meaningful text. That ChatGPT can automatically generate something that reads even superficially like human-written text is remarkable, and unexpected. “Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT” » A discussion about the history of neural nets » There are specific admission requirements listed for eligibility for the course and the college itself. It is worth checking the college website before applying because, as well as the monies involved. for online learning) and ‘eTextbooks’ sign-up required, with attendant costs, as well as several other supplementary fees (such as IT payments, graduation fees and so forth) on top of the main tuition fees of $1,313.25. However, applicants to the program are minded that it involves numerous fees and add-ons, with mandatory BOYD (‘Bring Your Own Device’ – students must have a laptop, tablet etc. At the end of the program, and if successful, graduates walk away with an Ontario College Certificate in Bartending, meaning the transition from student to bartender should be a straightforward one.Īlgonquin describes the course as perfect for those who enjoy the nightclub, hotel beverage and restaurant industry who are passionate about travel, for example, via cruise ship work or employment at holiday resorts are sociable and possess strong interpersonal skills and who are seeking to earn – and sometimes earn a considerable amount – almost immediately. Such is the complexity of instruction provided – both in terms of detail and time spent learning – that the course adds up to nearly 450 hours of tuition over the fifteen weeks. Other sections include ‘Bar Cost Control’, which involves purchasing and receiving procedures, maintaining inventories, beverage recipe costing and software analysis of drinks pricing, ‘Oenology’ where pupils learn about spirit products knowledge – such as methods of production and developing a more nuanced appreciation of liquors, beers and wines – and ‘Bar Law’, ‘Customer Service’ and ‘Mixology’, with the government-standard Smart Serve certification also included. The college course includes numerous modules and training environments and covers a variety of topics, many of which are incredibly in-depth – for example, the ‘Communications’ component alone is 45 hours of study, lectures, written exercises and self-reflection – plus more – designed to ensure students acquire the highest possible standards and skills for dealing with others in the workplace. Over fifteen weeks during each Fall and Winter, pupils receive five-star service training incorporating the basic principles and practices of rigorous bar management, meaning by the end of the course, they should be equipped to work anywhere in the trade. It can count amongst its impressive roster of alumni such as comedian Tom Green and award-winning director and producer Jon Cassar, known for his work on the first seasons of television hits 24 and La Femme Nikita.Īlgonquin’s comprehensive Bartending Program is a full-time course run by the School of Hospitality and Tourism at the Ottawa/Woodroffe Campus, where students receive ‘the perfect blend of theory and experience’ via classroom instruction, online modules, a mock ‘bar lab’, and intensive hands-on instruction at a selection of real licensed establishments – nightclubs, restaurants and bars – dotted across the city. Each year, the college manages to attract over 16,000 students studying in more than 180 programs. Such is its cachet and intense focus on technology and workplace needs. Located just off the city’s Nepean district in the thriving suburbs of Ottawa’s west end, Algonquin has been operating for nearly five decades and in 2014 was recognised as one of Canada’s ‘Top 50 Research Colleges’.

Even David Bellamy got himself arrested in a tin dinghy. The year 1982 and Australia’s largest civilian protest, to preserve the wild Franklin and Gordon rivers from development, changed everything. Strahan is Corinna developed – a premier-league village-resort created from what was a lonely logging settlement. Current favourites of gastronomy critics include high-end Dier Makr ( ), Peppina ( ) and Fico ( ). Either way, the view of Australia’s finest harbour setting is superb, one reason why Darwin preferred Hobart to Sydney. If you’re up for five hours of wilderness-lite, walk up like Charles Darwin. Hobart’s other icon is Kunanyi, aka Mount Wellington. Arrive on a gallery ferry from Brooke Street Pier. Still, there’s no faulting the wow factor of a subterranean gallery like a pharaoh’s tomb. What they don’t say is you may not like an irreverent collection which juxtaposes antiquities with works sourced from the badlands of modern art, none more so than a digestive machine which is fed at 11am and defecates at 2pm. Behind that shift has been MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art ( ). Surprise two: Hobart is a whisky town.Ī backwater in the Nineties, Hobart today is what a city by film director Wes Anderson might look like: dizzyingly inventive yet charmingly playful. I’d follow it with fish and chips harbourside at Fish Frenzy ( ) then a whisky digestif from Lark Distillery ( ). Exact replica huts of explorer Douglas Mawson ( tell more. Ice-breaker ships in Constitution Dock are a reminder this is a launchpad for Antarctica. Sunday farmers’ market Farm Gate ( ) is also excellent.įollow the waterfront to the Tasmanian Museum and Gallery ( ) for a primer into what makes Tassie tick: history, wildlife, green ethics. Its Saturday crafts market (8.30am till 3pm) is a perfect Tasmanian introduction. You’re staying at the port where convict-built sandstone warehouses now harbour galleries, crafts outlets and cafes a lovely spot to browse and people-watch. Surprise one: Hobart is perfect for pottering. I’ll bet that’s exactly what happened to those downshifters.Ī modern studio apartment in Salamanca Suites ( ) and a gentle day to recuperate. And maybe, like me, you’ll end up at estate agents’ windows pondering a possibility of another, better life. Save them for the next trip because you’ll also find that Tassie has a way of worming into your heart. That there are still places like Bruny Island and the bucolic south, the Walls of Jerusalem National Park or Flinders Island, a world apart even by Tasmanian standards, to discover. Whatever you do, you’ll leave wowed by ever-changing scenery and with a realisation that you’ve barely scratched the surface. If you prefer resort facilities, base in Strahan not Corinna for two nights, for example. I’ve included wildlife hotspots in this circuit for first-time visitors, a mix of classics with areas less suited to mass-market tourism so, arguably, more rewarding. You won’t just see scenery bathed in luminous light but some of the strangest concept creatures ever to be put into limited production. While I’ve avoided multi-day walks in this itinerary – visit Great Walks of Tasmania ( ) for inspiration – everyone should stretch their legs at some point. Between them is a World Heritage-listed wilderness like Elysian gardening. The west is like Scotland on steroids: raw, wild, flailed by the Roaring Forties. The east coast is scalloped by astonishing beaches and lapped by sea the colour of kingfishers. Tasmania packs a lot of scenery into an area the size of Ireland. In short, they’ve reminded us that a key part of the state’s appeal is its character – easygoing, fun. And glass-walled, five-star stays remain if you want them.īut post-pandemic, a new generation of lifestyle downshifters has rejuvenated Tassie’s tired B&Bs and put the soul back into soul-food. Tasmanian food and wine remains stellar, blessed by the clean waters of the Southern Ocean and the world’s purest rainfall, a byproduct of what is officially the world’s cleanest air (having Patagonia and Antarctica as your nearest neighbours upwind has its benefits). Then the pandemic hit.ĭon’t get me wrong. Elsewhere, tours became ever more chic, hotels ever more glamorous (aka expensive). Mainlanders (as Tasmanians call all other Australians) lauded the cutting-edge creativity and gastronomy of capital Hobart. For over a decade Tasmania had become ever more aspirational. The curious thing about the pandemic was how it affected perspectives. This change, shown below, makes alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents excellent nucleophiles and useful reactants in synthesis. Because the functional carbon atom has been reduced, the polarity of the resulting functional group is inverted (an originally electrophilic carbon becomes nucleophilic). These reactions are obviously substitution reactions, but they cannot be classified as nucleophilic substitutions, as were the earlier reactions of alkyl halides. These are the four prototypical organic chemistry reactions. This complex helps stabilize the organometallic and increases its ability to react. Carbon dioxide gas is stable, therefore the bonds that hold the carbon and oxygen atoms. Lone pair electrons from two ether molecules form a complex with the magnesium in the Grignard reagent (As pictured below). Ethyl ether or THF are essential for Grignard reagent formation. Diethyl ether can also be used but the subsequent alkyl lithium reagent must be used immediately after preparation due to an interaction with the solvent. For alkyl lithium formation pentane or hexane are usually used. Mixtures of polymeric and other associated and complexed species are in equilibrium under the conditions normally used for their preparation.Ī suitable solvent must be used. Although the formulas drawn here for the alkyl lithium and Grignard reagents reflect the stoichiometry of the reactions and are widely used in the chemical literature, they do not accurately depict the structural nature of these remarkable substances. When the named reaction is difficult to pronounce or very long as in. A very old named reaction is the Claisen rearrangement (1912) and a recent named reaction is the Bingel reaction (1993). The other metals mentioned above react in a similar manner, but Grignard and Alky Lithium Reagents most widely used. Organic chemistry has a strong tradition of naming a specific reaction to its inventor or inventors and a long list of so-called named reactions exists, conservatively estimated at 1000. The alkyl magnesium halides described in the second reaction are called Grignard Reagents after the French chemist, Victor Grignard, who discovered them and received the Nobel prize in 1912 for this work. Halide reactivity in these reactions increases in the order: Cl < Br < I and Fluorides are usually not used. To upload our program (hex file) into our development board, people normally use the STM32 ST-LINK Utility tool, but instead, we will be using TrueSTUDIO itself to do this. Then STM32CubeMX will be used to generate peripheral drivers for STM32 boards to make programming easy. Here for our tutorials, TrueSTUDIO will be used for writing, compiling, and debugging code because it is free to download and use even for commercial projects without any license requirement. IAR Embedded Workbench® for ARM® (EWARM).The STM32 family consists of 32-bit Microcontrollers that support the following IDEs and toolchains: So here we also need an IDE for our STM32 Nucleo64 Boards to perform programming and debugging. Getting started with any microcontroller will need a programming IDE like we have Arduino IDE for Arduino boards, Atmel Studio for AVR microcontroller, MP Lab for PIC, etc. Selecting and Downloading the Required Development Platforms for Nucleo64 Boards Even, if you have a different version, most things discussed in the tutorial will suffice for you to get started. We have selected this board mainly because of its low cost. Note: There are many versions of STM32 Nucleo64 Development Boards, the particular board used in this tutorial is NUCLEO-F030R8. The video also demonstrates how to program STM32 using ARM Mbed Platform but for this tutorial, we will use another free to use platform from ST Microelectronics called TrueSTUDIO. If you are completely new to the STM32 Nucleo64 Development Boards, do check out this Nucleo64 Review video to understand the basics of this board before you proceed further. Nucleo64 Development Boards are low cost and easy to use platform for professional developers as well as for hobbyist. Similarly, starting with this article, we will also plan a sequence of STM32 Nucleo64 Development Board Tutorials which can help absolute beginners to learn and develop using the STM32 Platform. We have already covered a sequence of PIC Microcontroller tutorials, which guides beginners for learning PIC microcontrollers. In fact, for most people, Arduino would have been their first development board, but as we dig deep and begin professional designs, we will soon realize the limitations of Arduino (like cost, versatility, stability, speed, etc.) and understand the need to shift into a more native Microcontroller platform like PIC, STM, Renesas, etc. Key Features: STM32 microcontroller in LQFP64 package External SMPS to generate Vcore logic supply (only available on '-P' suffixed boards) 1 user LED shared with ArduinoTM 1 user and 1 reset push-buttons 32.768 kHz LSE crystal oscillator Board expansion connectors: ArduinoTM Uno V3, ST morpho extension pin headers for full access to all STM32 I/Os, External SMPS experimentation dedicated connector (only available on '-P' suffixed boards) Flexible power-supply options: ST-LINK USB VBUS or external sources On-board ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer with USB re-enumeration capability.Many of us should be familiar with the popular microcontrollers and development boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, NoduMCU, 8051, etc. The STM32 Nucleo board comes with the STM32 comprehensive software HAL library together with various packaged software examples, as well as direct access to the Arm MbedTM online resources at. The STM32 Nucleo board does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer. The ArduinoTM Uno V3 connectivity support and the ST morpho headers allow the easy expansion of the functionality of the STM32 Nucleo open development platform with a wide choice of specialized shields. For the compatible boards, the SMPS significantly reduces power consumption in Run mode. The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the STM32 microcontroller, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features. |
