What makes for a great pizza? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What makes for a great pizza?
### Response:
| There are many different variations of pizza. Many would say that the crust and sauce are more important than the toppings when considering what makes a pizza great. Toppings (pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, pineapple, etc.) are generally pretty standard, with little variation by source or region, though premium ingredients may be had my many pizza chefs, these are not considered here because premium toppings may not be available to every pizza chef.
The crust and sauce, however, are nearly limitless in variation. From thin crust to thick crusts, to bright or spicy sauce; a pizza chef may make their mark with excellent pizza on the foundation of a well made crust with a well flavored sauce. | |

Tell me which of these terms are related to artificial intelligence versus gardening: tilling, seed, gradient descent, production, Bayesian optimization, genetically modified organism, heirloom, transfer learning | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Tell me which of these terms are related to artificial intelligence versus gardening: tilling, seed, gradient descent, production, Bayesian optimization, genetically modified organism, heirloom, transfer learning
### Response:
| These terms are all unmistakably related to artificial intelligence:
- Gradient descent: a technique used when training a machine learning model to improve results over time.
- Bayesian optimization: a probabilistic approach to arrive at the best set of parameters, most often used in training machine learning models.
- Transfer learning: a technique to re-train an already trained deep learning model on new data, most commonly used to customize models to a particular use-case, such as detecting a specific object in photos.
While these terms are all unmistakably related to gardening:
- Tilling: mechanical preparation of soil for planting.
- Genetically modified organism: this is a term to describe plants that have undergone genetic modification to optimize for specific traits, such as drought resistance.
- Heirloom: this describe certain non-hybrid plant types that must be open pollinated, namely by insects, birds, wind, or other natural factors.
These terms relate to both artificial intelligence and gardening:
- Seed: in artificial intelligence, a "seed" is a number chosen to help reproduce random outcomes, such as picking random numbers. In gardening, a seed is the raw input that a gardener plants that will eventually become a plant.
- Production: in artificial intelligence, production is often the term used to describe a lifecycle stage of a model that is in real-life use, rather than testing or development. In gardening, production is another term used to describe the total output of a harvest. | |

### Input:
n/a
### Response:
| n/a | The American Revolution was a five-year long war that started in 1775. The colonists of Great Britain were tired of being taxed endlessly by King George lll. The revolution started when some of Britain's forces assaulted revolutionary colonists at Lexington. This convinced many people to fight for the colonists. Finally, after many long battles and suffering, at the battle of Yorktown in 1781, Great Britain's forces surrendered to General Roshambo and General Washington. King George lll passed the Treaty of Paris in 1783. The colonists, now free from Britain, started America. The political system was also created, with George Washington becoming the first president. |

What is electronics engineering? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is electronics engineering?
### Input:
Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, sensors and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies. The nonlinear behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes digital switching possible, and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunications, and signal processing. Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system.
Today, most electronic devices use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The underlying principles that explain how semiconductors work are studied in solid state physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems are part of electronics engineering.

### Instruction:
Jill, a 60-year-old personal training client, wants to improve her hip flexibility. Jill is concerned about her balance and the risk of falling. Recommend two exercises she can do to improve balance.
### Response:
| She can perform weight shifts, which is an easy exercise for someone of her age to perform to improve their balance. She should begin with feet hip-width apart, and then shift her weight to her right side, lifting her left foot off the floor. She can maintain this position for 30 seconds, return to the starting position, and repeat for her other side. Besides weight shifts, she can focus on exercises that target auxiliary muscles in her lower back and core, which help with balance. For example, she can consider doing partial sit-ups, which strengthen abdominal muscles, or if she finds that too difficult, she can perform cat and camel, which is where she arches her back, and then lets it slowly sag toward the floor while in modified pushup position (knees on the ground). | |

What is Assembler? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is Assembler?
### Response:
| An assembler program creates object code by translating combinations of mnemonics and syntax for operations and addressing modes into their numerical equivalents. This representation typically includes an operation code ("opcode") as well as other control bits and data. The assembler also calculates constant expressions and resolves symbolic names for memory locations and other entities. The use of symbolic references is a key feature of assemblers, saving tedious calculations and manual address updates after program modifications. Most assemblers also include macro facilities for performing textual substitution – e.g., to generate common short sequences of instructions as inline, instead of called subroutines.
Some assemblers may also be able to perform some simple types of instruction set-specific optimizations. One concrete example of this may be the ubiquitous x86 assemblers from various vendors. Called jump-sizing, most of them are able to perform jump-instruction replacements (long jumps replaced by short or relative jumps) in any number of passes, on request. Others may even do simple rearrangement or insertion of instructions, such as some assemblers for RISC architectures that can help optimize a sensible instruction scheduling to exploit the CPU pipeline as efficiently as possible. | |

How do you cook the perfect pizza? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How do you cook the perfect pizza?
### Response:
| The first thing you must do is preheat your oven up as high as it will go. It takes longer than you think to heat your oven up all the way! You want to give your oven at least 30 minutes to preheat. If you have a pizza stone, make sure it’s inside the preheating oven.
For highend ovens, this can be up to 550 degrees F. For regular ovens, they are not going above 475 F. Pizza is traditionally cooked in 900 or 1,000 degree ovens. We can’t get our ovens at home quite that hot, but we want to get as close as we can. Figure out what your oven can do and crank up the heat.
Start out with about 12-16 ounces of dough. Any pizza dough, homemade or store bought, will work for this recipe.
Place your ball of dough in the center of your work surface and use your hands to press it down, starting from the center. Keep gently patting out the dough, moving the dough outward from the center. I like to leave a pretty healthy crust on the edges of my dough.
Continue patting and stretching the dough gently with your hands until it is about 12 inches across. Of course you can use a rolling pin if you want! (Use your hands to lift up the edges of the pizza when you are done to get more a lip for the crust.)
At this point, transfer the dough to a square of parchment paper. I highly recommend using parchment paper because it’s SO much easier transferring your pizza into the oven.
Stretch and arrange the dough on the parchment paper. The dough shrinks a bit when you pick it up to transfer, just gently stretch it out again.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top of your dough. Use your hands or a pastry brush to rub the oil all over the top of the dough, especially the edges of the crust. This layer of oil helps the toppings stay separate from the dough, helping it cook more evenly. It also tastes delicious, especially on your crust.
Once the oven is up to temperature, we are going to do a 1 to 2 minute par bake.
Some of my favorite pizza toppings:
Just Cheese: Any will work: Mozzarella, Fontina, Parmesan, and Gorgonzola would be amazing.
Pepperoni
Meat Lovers: Pepperoni, salami, Italian sausage, ham, bacon
Hawaiian: Canadian bacon, pineapple
Margherita: fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, tomatoes
BBQ: Use barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce, then rotisserie chicken, red onions, bacon
Veggie pizza: spinach, tomato, corn, peppers, red onion, mushrooms
Buffalo: Use Frank’s sauce instead of tomato sauce, then add rotisserie chicken, garlic, blue cheese, red onions
Once your pizza is in the oven, you need to cook it for about 8-12 minutes. This is of course going to depend on how hot your oven is, and how thick your pizza is. The crust should be golden brown, and the cheese should be bubbly and also starting to brown. If you don’t have a pizza stone, use a spatula to lift the edge of your pizza to make sure that it is browning all across the center on bottom. If the bottom is still white, you are looking at a doughy pizza. Leave it in longer. | |

Why is the Saguaro cactus important to Arizona?
### Response:
| The Saguaro cactus (Saguaro Cacti) is a very rare type of cacti that only grows in the Sonoran Desert, which southern Arizona is part of. The Saguaro, can easily live a few hundred years as it takes about 50-75 years just to grow one arm. Due to new construction in Arizona, a Saguaro interfering with the location of a building must be transplanted and cannot be destroyed. The destruction of a Saguaro cactus is a class-4 felony. | |
Why are drill jigs less commonly used today than they were in the past? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Why are drill jigs less commonly used today than they were in the past?
### Input:
A drill jig is a type of jig that expedites repetitive hole center location on multiple interchangeable parts by acting as a template to guide the twist drill or other boring device into the precise location of each intended hole center. In metalworking practice, typically a hardened drill bushing lines each hole on the jig plate to keep the tool from damaging the jig.
Drill jigs started falling into disuse with the invention of the jig borer.
Since the widespread penetration of the manufacturing industry by CNC machine tools, in which servo controls are capable of moving the tool to the correct location automatically, the need for drill jigs (and for the jobs of the drill press operators who used them) is much less than it used to be.

As a Manager, how can I use Clifford's Strengthsfinder? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
As a Manager, how can I use Clifford's Strengthsfinder?
### Response:
| Strengthsfinder is a tool that has been used by 30 million people worldwide. It's an assessment that measures one's strengths across 34 potential strengths. There is no strength better than the other. It's more a matter how much you actually leverage the strength that you have.
As a manager, here is how you can use it:
- Use it in 1:1s with your team members: For career development, or provide stretch assignments to focus on 1-2 strengths
- Develop a team aggregate: Where are we strong as a team? What strengths are missing? Who is strong in a particular area and can be the expert?
- Use it for team building: During a team meeting have team members present their top 5 strengths. People will get to know each other under a different light.
- Integrate new team members
- Develop new managers: How can they use their strengths? How can the strengths hold them back? | |

What are the names of the social insects that are mentioned? | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What are the names of the social insects that are mentioned?
### Input:
Solitary bees, such as leafcutters, do not form colonies. Unlike social insects (ants, yellow jackets, honeybees), leafcutters work alone building isolated nests. Similar to honeybees, female bees perform nearly all essential tasks of brood rearing. These native insects perform essential tasks, pollinating wild plants. The alfalfa leaf cutter bee (Megachile rotundata), native to Europe, has been semi-domesticated for crop pollination. In North America, the species was deliberately imported to assist in the pollination of food crops, but has now become feral and widespread.

Is the lacavore diet beneficial? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Is the lacavore diet beneficial?
### Response:
| While it is harmful to the world trade and transportation of foods, the locavore diet is generally beneficial to the environment, local farmers, and people. In a small community, the locavore diet would contribute to the local economy as well as the health of the population.
The locavore diet is a restriction in which people are encouraged to eat foods produced within a 100 mile radius of them, which not only benefits their health, as they are eating organic, locally produced foods, but also local farmers, by buying their produce, and the environment, by eliminating the harmful effects of transportation, such as airplanes and trucks.
A common concern of younger generations is the state of our environment, thanks to the continuation of air and water pollution as well as global warming. The locavore diet targets these exact concerns. In Source A, Maiser notes that a study from the journal Food Policy in 2005 found that buying locally produced foods eliminated the environmental damage that most food transportation causes. The locavore diet is not only friendly to the environment but also to the farmers who produce organic foods. In the USA, the increased purchasing of local foods has created a revival of small farms, with the number of small farms rising 20%, or approximately 1.2 million farms, in just the past six years (Source E). In small communities where small farms are a main source of produce, the locavore diet benefits the local economy, as more money is spent on local farmers and businesses. The increase in small farms within America is also beneficial to the national economy, as money is being spent within the country and perpetuates within our economy.
Despite its benefits to local farmers, farmers from around the world who were dependent upon the trade and transportation of foods have been suffering. For example, Kenya is responsible for most of the UK’s green beans, and while the locavore diet would support local farmers in the UK, approximately 1.5 million of Kenyan farmers’ livelihoods would be threatened. However, the same argument could be applied to local farmers: the import of foods from countries like Kenya decreases the money spent on small, local farms. In addition, eliminating the need to import food is beneficial to the national economy, as money is being spent on American farmers, who will then spend that money in America, rather than being spent outside of the country.
Perhaps the most powerful appeal to the locavore diet is its healthiness. Not only do local foods have fewer susceptibility to contamination, but the physical distance of local foods causes them to harbor more powerful vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting substances. In Source B, Smith argues that because local fruits and vegetables travel shorter distances, they are therefore more likely to be closer to maximum nutritional value. In a notoriously unhealthy society, Americans are likely to benefit from the locavore diet because it emphasizes the importance of eating fruits and vegetables.
The locavore diet, while having some drawbacks, is overall beneficial to small communities: it keeps local farms in business which in turn stimulates the local and national economies, it reduces potentially harmful environmental impacts by decreasing the use of air and road transportation, and it allows for more nutritional value in the foods people eat. Worldwide, the locavore diet may not be as helpful, as it would all but eliminate the need for food trade. However, for small, tight-knit communities, the locavore diet would be arguably beneficial. | |

### Instruction:
What is the best way to make a camp fire
### Response:
| Nothing screams camping out in the wilderness like building a campfire. The memories, conversations, scents, roasted marshmallows, and crackling of the wood are all part of the experience. In order to build a strong campfire, you need to perform the following steps.
Step 1. Clear a perimeter that is roughly 12 feet in diameter. Make sure you are in an open area, where tree limbs are not hanging over the campfire to avoid secondary fires. Before you start the fire, get all of the necessary components such as dry kindle/twigs, larger sticks, and larger logs, paper, and lighter
Step 2. Build a small tepee shape with the dry kindle and dry small logs. I would recommend adding paper with the kindle to assist in starting the fire.
Step 3. Stack larger sticks around the teepee structure in a square formation. Build up multiple levels, so the square structue is higher than the teepee. This will help the fire expand and spread to the surrounding structure.
Step 4. Light the paper in the teepee with a match or lighter, and watch the dry kindle start to catch. At this early stage, you will most likely see smoke. You may need to blow on the teepee structure lightly in order to add some oxygen to the fire and help it catch to the larger sticks square structure.
Step 5. Once the square structure begins to light, start to add larger logs diagonally across the structure. The diagonal formation will fuel the fire, and expand upwards .
Step 6. Keep adding larger logs to maintain the fire. With the prior kindle, sticks, and logs already hot, adding the new larger logs will burn quickly and self ignite.
Step 7. When you are done enjoying the fire, have a couple of buckets of water nearby to extinguish it. Do not leave the campfire unattended as the hot coals and wind could cause a unintended spread. | |

What is the difference between table salt and kosher salt? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is the difference between table salt and kosher salt?
### Response:
| Most salt shakers contain table salt, a fine-grained salt often including iodine - called iodized salt. Table salt is most commonly applied “at the table” when eating, however many home cooks don’t tend to keep multiple types of salt on hand so they might season their food with table salt during the cooking process.
Kosher salt is a more flaky salt and typically used either in larger quantities for brining or creating a salt crust on proteins prior to cooking. Most professional chefs will choose Kosher salt over table salt as they prefer the texture and usability. Table salt, being very fine-grained, is more dense than kosher salt and as such, recipes using salt should be weighed rather than using a volume measurement to ensure that a different type of salt doesn’t ruin the recipe. | |

### Instruction:
Write a poem about a raven
### Response:
| Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore. | |

Should I use microservices for my project? How many microservices should I have? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Should I use microservices for my project? How many microservices should I have?
### Response:
| Every microservice you add increases the testing and deployment complexity for your project. However there are a few reasons you would want to split off separate microservices:
1. the scaling requirements are different (e.g., maybe part of your code needs to be deployed to 100 servers and other parts just to 5 servers).
2. the deployment model is different (e.g., maybe part of your code needs to be sharded by customer id, and other parts not sharded)
3. they are logically different parts of the code or of the company and they can benefit from moving independently for each other.
So split off as many microservices as required by the rules above, but don't split off too many. | |

If one participant is a bad liar, the whole game is ruined. This is because in its essence, GGD is a game where a set of players guard a secret, and the rest of players uncover that secret. To make this process fun and intellectually stimulating, we first need to remove the more obvious secret-revealing signals like voice tones and facial expressions. What’s worse, it only takes 1 player to leak the secret for everyone, which imposes an incredibly high entry barrier | |
What is the legality of owning an alligator as a pet in the United States? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
What is the legality of owning an alligator as a pet in the United States?
### Response:
| 26 states outright forbid owning an alligator as a pet. 12 states allow ownership with proper permitting. 11 states allow ownership with no need for a permit; of those 11 states, 5 do not have any permit requirements to own any exotic animal. While Wyoming prohibits certain game animals from being owned as pets, the state does not include nor exclude alligators in specific listings, so presumably, one can own a pet alligator unpermitted in Wyoming. | |

What are the different types of fees that are charged in the US National Park?
### Response:
| Experiencing a US National park to it's fullest may require different kinds of fees and charges. The entree fee to the park, can vary based on vehicle and visitor type, and also can be different across parks. If one has plans of visiting multiple national parks/preserves within 12 months, the national park pass can be a good purchase.

Provide instructions on making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
Provide instructions on making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
### Response:
| Making the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich is part art and part science. One must must be judicious in the quantity of ingredients while ensuring proper coverage to ensure each bite is equal to the one before and after it. Here, both measurement and distribution of ingredients serves as the scientific aspect of constructing your delicious and timeless lunchtime meal. Jars of peanut utter suggest a serving size as 2 tablespoons, which, when applied to the critical soft white bread, may prove too much to hold and cause soak through or tearing of the bread. We think 1.5 tablespoons is the proper amount to ensure there is coverage of the bread slice to the crust without compromising the integrity of the bread. Jelly application is even more precarious, as it holds more fluid and can soak through the bread quicker; equally, jelly has a tendency to congeal. To ensure proper application, heat the jar of jelly closer to room temperature if refrigerated, then apply using a clean butter knife or small spatula. Again, one must ensure it reaches to the crust and is evenly distributed. Once you have complete coverage of peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other, place the peanut butter side of the first slice on top of the upward-facing jelly slice. This ensure none of the jelly slips or drips. Once together, gently compress the sandwich. Slice delicately from one corner to the opposite corner. Gently press the crust edge of each triangle, and plate for serving. | |

How to do forecasting with small dataset? | Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
How to do forecasting with small dataset?
### Response:
| Forecasting with small datasets can be challenging, as many traditional methods require larger amounts of data for accurate predictions.
Here are few approaches that can help you.
Simple moving average: This involves taking the average of a certain number of past data points, and using it as the forecast for the next period. This method can be effective for stable time series with no trend or seasonality.
Exponential smoothing: This method assigns exponentially decreasing weights to past observations, with more recent observations being given more weight. This method can be effective for time series with trend and/or seasonality.
ARIMA: The AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is a popular choice for time series forecasting. It can be effective for small datasets if the underlying data follows a pattern that can be modeled using an ARIMA model. | |

From the passage provided, extract the name of the person who first proposed and tested the law of conservation of energy. | Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
From the passage provided, extract the name of the person who first proposed and tested the law of conservation of energy.
### Input:
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law, first proposed and tested by Émilie du Châtelet, means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes. If one adds up all forms of energy that were released in the explosion, such as the kinetic energy and potential energy of the pieces, as well as heat and sound, one will get the exact decrease of chemical energy in the combustion of the dynamite.
