There are crappy combination padlocks that can be picked by turning the combination wheels and pulling on the shackle. When you've turned a wheel into its unlocking position the shackle will shift open slightly, signalling that you&#x2

I mean, everything would seem to indicate that mitochondria were assimilated while our ancestors were still microbes themselves. But that aside, our species is the result of everything that happened prior to its appearance, including for

I believe I've already addressed it. You say: The fact that production in style S (of artist A) can exceed human consumption capability makes the fact that someone's style can be reproduced without bounds irrelevant. You mention a

Yes, someone can disagree on whether a fact is true. That's obviously true, but it has no effect on the truth of that fact. I'm saying something very simple: If a machine can copy your style, that's a fundamentally different

I'm not sure what you've changed, but I'll reiterate: my copying your style is not fair use. Fair use applies to copyrighted things. A style cannot be copyrighted, so if you tried to sue me for infringing upon the copyright o

Whether it's irrelevant is a matter of opinion. The fact remains that a machine being able to copy the artistic style of a human makes it so that anyone can produce output in the style of that human by just feeding the machine electric

Tool improvements only apply a constant factor to the effectiveness of learning. Creating a generative model applies an unbounded factor to the effectiveness of learning because, as I said, the only limit is how much computing resources a

I'm using "implication" as a synonym of "effect". If a human learns to imitate your style, that human can make at most a handful of drawings in a single day. The only way for the rate of output to increase is for mo

I'm not sure what you mean when you say different implications existing is subjective, since they clearly aren't, but regardless of who has more say in general terms, the author of a work can decide how to publish it, and no one h

And? Even if neural networks learn the same way humans do, this is not an argument against taking measures against one's art being used as training data, since there are different implications if a human learns to paint the same way as

There's a difference between playing to win and being frustrated because your opponent can consistently steamroll you effortlessly without even giving you a chance to set your game up.

So what's the actual relative difference? The absolute difference is completely useless in this context.

Couldn't this just be statistical noise? 2% isn't a huge difference, and if you partition stock funds into two arbitrary groups it's almost certain that one will on average perform better than the other, but not by a lot. The

What that article says is that one woman with the same job title as a man makes 1 million dollars less than the man. I doubt that's just a fixed salary, so it's hard to say how damning it is. It also says that a spreadsheet from 2

You're tracking things at the content level? How will you deal with files that are purposely broken, or which cause the parser to take impractical (but finite) times to complete? Also, tracking the history of a class makes sense to som

Perhaps, but if you know how far to push it, it's not a bad strategy. If you're on a salary it's in your interest to do the minimum possible that won't get you fired, just like how it is in your employer's interest

I don't really get it. Why is { P0:r0 = 1; P1:r0 = 1 } not an allowed final state? What code code could the compiler generate that would definitely prevent the threads from interleaving their loads and stores on any given architecture?

Not at the expense of my own dignity, no. Or at least, not knowing it would be at my expense ahead of time.
