I don't think the final point about programming languages makes much sense. In the overall software development process, lots of people contribute different things to create the product. The job of the software developer is to bring th

I can see 3 ways that you can guarantee that the output of a model never violates copyright 1. Models are trained with 100% uncopyrighted or properly licensed input data 2. Every output of the ML model is evaluated to make sure it's no

I think the big difference is that it's not a direct replacement - it feeds off of the existing people while making it much harder for them to make a living. It would be as if instead of cars running on gasoline, they ran on chopped up

> you address each time they do case by case. That's what I listed as #1 - evaluate each individual output of the model to see if it violates copyright.

by wheelie_boy 3y ago
It seems very difficult to ensure that a model will never output any of the copyrighted content that it was trained on. I can only think of three ways, but perhaps there are others 1. Evaluate every output from the model to ensure that none

I would have thought that purpleair was the best-known consumer brand. It looks like this May they introduced API pricing? But honestly, it still seems very reasonable https://community.purpleair.com/t/api-pricing/

> "create a new currency" Ah yes, Flooz and Beenz. So silly, but at least they didn't use a small country's worth of electricity.

they also had an internal source control system that they never released, which was a fork of perforce that they had purchased the rights to use and modify. Not sure if that's still in use in any projects.

Exactly, I'm sure you're familiar with the kinds of difficulties and complications that creates. Rather than representing that curve analytically, you have to keep track of the procedural tree that generated it. Then things like o

The two best modelers I've seen for that kind of casual solid modeling are Plasticity https://www.plasticity.xyz and Moment of Inspiration http://moi3d.com Both are really focused on UX, and license a kernel

Yeah, on the big kernels the time just getting filleting working robustly can be measured in developer-careers. The core problem isn't memory safety, it's due to difficulties with the mathematical foundation of NURBS surfaces. For

I found Bostom's Superintelligence to be the most boring Scifi I have ever read. I think it's probably possible to create a digital sentience. But LLM ain't it.

by wheelie_boy 4y ago
It reminds me of the Mirror Self-Recognition test. As humans, we know that a mirror is a lifeless piece of reflective metal. All the life in the mirror comes from us. But some of us fail the test when it comes to LLM - mistaking the distort

I think the overall question is whether the decrease in bison is offset by the increase in cattle. Bison primarily decreased in NA, but cattle increased worldwide.

by wheelie_boy 4y ago
This is a very interesting discussion, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. One thing I figured was worth checking was how many bison there were pre-industrialization, and how many cows there are now. Some quick googling seems to say: ~

Looks like I used the wrong word when I said dealer. It's apparently called Express Delivery where you "Take delivery at a Tesla location" https://www.tesla.com/support/taking-delivery#express-delive...

Tesla is such an odd company. They apparently have a great product, hardware and software. But the rest of the company is just an absolute shitshow Like, a friend recently received delivery of a Tesla. They went to the dealer 4 times before

Everyone has made errors, yes. Ideally we will make fewer in the future. To that end, we should consider the amount and directionality of errors made by individuals as we consider what weight to give their current predictions.

It's always yes because paying money is not a really fun gameplay mechanic. That said, I don't have a problem with cosmetic-only purchases. It's really the gambling and other dark patterns that are the problem.

by wheelie_boy 5y ago
Cosmetic-only in-game purchases are great. I'm also not against one-time upgrades or subscriptions. If it's not compromising the game design, and it's not so addictive that people are spending more than they have, I don'

But could you make a better game if you didn't need to funnel people into buying gems at all? The answer is always yes - you always need to give up something to make people buy gems. Apple Arcade is a good example of this. With the sub

I have two main problems with the freemium model. First is that it necessarily compromises the game design. Instead of optimizing for fun, or a memorable experience, or an artistic vision, you are optimizing for profit, which compromises th

Yes, similarly I could definitely create a simple ML algorithm and feed it a single codebase to learn. Then it would be possible to predictively output code, such that it reproduces that entire codebase verbatim. There's nothing magica
