No, GPT-3 wasn't trained in 11 minutes. The GPT-3 architecture was trained on the C4 dataset to 2.69 log-probability in 11 minutes on 3584 H100 GPUs. Don't focus on the "11 minutes" -- because it's like saying "ResNet-50 was trained in 5 seconds on MNIST to 80% accuracy"

We finally got some good news today. The Chinese government helped facilitate a donation of 1,000 ventilators that will arrive in JFK today. I thank the Chinese government, Jack Ma, Joe Tsai, the Jack Ma Foundation, the Tsai Foundation and Consul General Huang.

I'm on board with the idea of masks for everyone, but it's worth urging caution about home-made masks. Better than nothing, home-made mask provides ~50% filtration between material & fit, vs 95% for a surgical mask. That means you get & share 10x the viral particles. /1

Facts are empowering. Even when the facts are discouraging, not knowing the facts is worse. I promise that I will continue to give New Yorkers all the facts, not selective facts.

At the next press conference, ask him: "If you knew this was a pandemic all along, why did you refuse the test kits from WHO?" "If you knew this was a pandemic all along, why did you send an untrained team w/out PPE to meet infected patients, then scatter them around the USA?"

.@RichardEngel: "This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn't speak Chinese. It doesn't target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth."
