I would imagine that to propagate any confidence value through the system you'd need to have priors for the confidence of correctness for all data in your training set. (and those priors change over time)

But the social nature of art also means that humans give the originator and their influences credit - of course not the entire chain but at least the nearest neighbours of influence. While a user of a diffusion generator does not even know

No accounting for particles yet, which you'll also keep hitting, making your ship's materials radioactive and causing lots of secondary particle showers, bremsstrahlung and the likes.

Adding to those arguments, you can include exports/imports into the CO2 emission estimation and suddenly one sees that a good part of China's CO2 emissions are for products that are exported to the EU and the US (Edit: see e.g. [0

I wonder why Musk is always thrown into the ring with SpaceX, when its entire operation is mostly done by Gwynne Shotwell.

appropriation also includes a resonance and admiration of the original - you cannot admire if you don't know where you're appropriating from

I feel it's also a scaling issue: If you wanted to do all of the digital bookkeeping of today on paper, that would be perhaps impossible. I don't think personal note-taking is in any way a large contribution to paper use. I do art

Regarding your other comment: why wouldn't a high-altitude detonation, even outside the atmosphere cause an EMP? I feel like the gamma photons emitted in space will eventually hit the atmosphere and with that cause electrons to spiral

There are people who argue that there are ways to keep limited nuclear warfare limited. [0] I think the RAND institute also published some study on it not outright rejecting the idea but I can't find it atm. [0] https://www.

It entirely depends on where you see the role of a "fighter" but I think we both already agree that it won't be anything like naval battle on Earth. Maybe you're familiar with Atomic Rockets, the collection of engineerin

The models can produce a very very biased memory (as any other form of history) - just by virtue of being a product of technology does not make these algorithms any more objective. They're trained on biased data after all. So what we&#

There are some in-universe laws or facts that fictional genres cannot give up (Edit:typo) easily - one in scifi is the small crewed spaceship or even space fighter. Even if guns exist, there is an arguable thrill to reading about a characte

Isn't this the same issue as with the neuro-visual reconstruction techniques matching on a small collection of samples?

Starting small doesn't work if you have a nonlinear system. In nonlinear systems, the magnitude of a perturbance isn't linearly related to the absorbed effect. So in the worst case: small input, giant irreversible effect.

I feel any method that is powerful enough to dependably act as an attourney is powerful enough to found its own company, write software, acquire clients, subcontract etc. With the expression I meant the realization of a business idea into a

The irony may be that removing the barrier to legal advice in that way will at the same time make the implementation of your startup a triviality.

In physics in college we were grilled in verbal discussions with professors and an assistant for ~30 minutes or until the professor had found the limits of our knowledge, one I had went on for 50 mins. The entire grade of the diploma was co

Then the alias itself has to be protected though, else someone could harm you by impersonating your alias.

I didn't know the background but I'd agree though not necessarily as strongly as hating it. To me, the poem paints an unreachable ideal of being that just doesn't resonate with me at all. It may just be me but in my mind it f

I think the entire longtermism thing is at the heart something that Camus discusses in the Myth of Sisyphos: We will ultimately all die and be forgotten, what good is struggling, working and living? That is the absurd condition every human

I don't think that future will come to pass, because there is no application of "AI" on the horizon that gets climate change halted by 2030. And the consequences, which are already beginning, will royally dash any hope of uto

Even in a perfectly deterministic universe, the accessibility of that determinism to models hinges on knowledge of the state of the universe. We're surrounded by highly nonlinear interactions that we just approximate as linear - if we

To be very cynical: We are trapped in a hellscape with no chance of ever breaking free, it does not matter one bit if it's simulated or not. Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods (or simulation) and raises rocks.

That hit me years ago when working conditions at Tesla came to light, I realized Elon can never have his Mars colony be self-sufficient or he'd be thrown out of an airlock.

I doubt that, looking at how bad the SOTA in detecting generated text is or conversely how human-like the generated text has become.

Maybe it's like in the free-to-play video game business: Having one whale (person who spends more on the product) outweighs having lots of smaller customers. The IMO dystopian move is to just let the AI employ humans as 'hands&#x2

how much do the weights have to change for it to be transformative? Edit: you arrive at the same question as taking an image with img2img and running it through a diffusion variant - keeping the composition, colors etc. but no the details

I have a report where the actual project work done is not exactly what was planned, so that's triggering some avoidance. It was hard to start with directly writing the report. So what I did is the classic 'break it down' but

Yeah, I'm dealing with it at work right now for a deadline. I'm using my entire tool box.
