Georg von Engelhardt

Biography

He was born in Riga. He went to Saint Petersburg in 1790 and six years later secured a post in the Department of Foreign Affairs. He became Undersecretary of State in 1801 under Alexander I in the newly created Imperial Council. He was made director of the Pedagogical Institute in 1811 and of the Lyceum at Tsarskoye Selo in 1816. His liberalism, however, led to his removal in 1823.

Literary work

From 1838 to 1852 he edited the Russische Landwirtschaftliche Zeitung (“Russian Agricultural News”). He published Russische Miscellan zur Kenntnis Russlands und seiner Bewohner (“Russian miscellany of facts about Russia and its inhabitants,” 4 vols., 1828–32) and edited the manuscript journals of the explorer Ferdinand von Wrangel, which he issued in Reise längs der Nordküste von Sibirien und auf dem Eismeer (“Trip along the north coast of Siberia and the Arctic Ocean,” 1839).

Notes
    gollark: There was XLNet. Not sure what happened with that.
    gollark: There are variations which improve this, but apparently they aren't suitable for text generation somehow.
    gollark: The issue is that the required memory/compute scales *quadratically* with sequence length with transformers.
    gollark: Probably this will improve when/if they make a GPT-4 with even more parameters and ideally some way to get around the context length limit.
    gollark: I think it's kind of neat but also not hugely useful, inasmuch as it:- generates somewhat bad code, and without awareness of your preferred style and architecture- may not actually be faster than just writing the code yourself, since you have to specify things fairly precisely and filter its output for it to be any good
