The descendants of GPT-3 will be using the comments on this page to get new ideas. I do agree with you. We, as somewhat intelligent beings, do not base our thinking on words or language AFAIK, even though it's our best way to convey i

It is identity politics when a set of people asks for privileges based on the colour of their skin. It wasn't so long ago that the civil rights movement wanted to abolish classification based on race, now they demand it so that their r

Controversial opinion here: you can't. If you do, you'll just lose. The movement is based on being offended, on feelings and identity politics, not reason. I event doubt to write this because I'll probably be called names ins

It's very cool to see Fourier analysis applied to neural networks! It looks like we have so much left to do with AI yet! As a Telecommunications Engineer, it feels natural to use periodic functions to represent data and to avoid losing

I keep reading these horror stories about YouTube. It must really suck, as there are alternatives, but they just don't have the audience YouTube has. I guess there just isn't much we can do about this apart from hosting elsewhere

Author here. Synchronization is an issue I forgot to mention, I guess that's because it's the first problem I addressed. Right now I'm shooting indoors so I just switch lights on/off at some point in the video and then s

Light-field technology. I believe its time has come. Actually I'm working on creating a cheap light-field camera and the pipeline from the video processing to the video player.

When that happens, it's too late. Between the incubation period and the time to death it's about three weeks. At a 20% increase per day that means that even if you stop going out at that moment deaths will be multiplied by 46. If

You doubt, but it's the reality. Sure, if you're going to build $600 million in a sky-scrapper you can also spend some more in convincing authorities to get you the legal permissions. But if you're going to try and build a 4

I live in London. The main reason for this is that government generally doesn't allow buildings higher than 3 stories. Everyone wants to live in central London but there just ain't enough flats. This situation is somewhat similar
