Intelligence and learning really seem distinct. Does someone who only has a short term memory no longer count as intelligent ? But also he does count much simpler systems as AI, so it's not about learning on the fly or being anything

No, he calls other much simpler things AI.

Of course there's an algorithm! What nonsense is this that we're saying things with probability used somewhere inside them are no longer algorithms ?

I think it depends on the roll. For two players against each other it’s a bit more fun, but dm/player feels imbalanced, even when it’s character based. Th player winning might feel more fun beating another character with wits but that

This starts by assuming humans are bad at coming up with unbiased numbers but then requires them to do so. I don’t get how this could work with biased inputs.

Repetitive and easy or worth automating are not the same. The fundamental problem is that a setup capable of solving any of the requests that come to it is as complex as just a whole programming language and then you’re back to square one.

We do have these things and they are often wrong. Loads of the examples given look better than things I’ve seen in real databases on this kind of thing and I worked in this area for a decade.

That’s about generating images, the other side is about understanding images.

Not surprising to see this so downvoted but it's very true, it's a great first order approximation and yet users here will be continually surprised they act like people.

I understand this, but at the same time the concept of this to me is absolutely wild. We see this in the UK, the exact same argument. Yet I was paid more to manage a small tech team than an MP for fewer hours. You actively disincentivise pe

That rather depends on exactly how this is done, although it's a useful upper bound for many tasks either way. You could say the same for images and yet due to the way some work they straight up cannot see in certain ways. This could

In the top section where there’s authors etc, there’s a format list. I didn’t see it the first time.

This is a good point. Docker? I typically want other kinds of isolation for services and things anyway - it’s got its own file system, you could have N versions on the same branch working without conflict (at least the conflict you’d have

No you don’t. A birth certificate can be used for example along with a letter from a government agency. Also expired passports are fine.

You don’t have to do all that. If you have a+b and a-b you’ll get 2a when added together. So knowing just the sum we can say that a is 9 in this setup. Now we need to figure out b. Multiplying out those you get a^2 + ab -ab - b^2 And I get

We do have forms of animal rights, including for livestock, and having them is not a controversial position.

It's broader, it's about users data. For example, you can store my address so you can send the item I ordered to me. You can't, without permission, use that to send me marketing stuff.

FWIW I had to bail on the same thing because my results were drastically different. There was something happening with images through open router. Although outside of that I’d absolutely do the same thing, their apis are awful and billing w

It depends a lot about the ratios here. There's a fast flip between "interesting but useless" and "useful" when the tradeoff flips. How fast can you check the contribution? How small of a part is it? An unsolicited

Most models don’t have good spatial information from the images. Gemini models do preprocessing and so are typically better for that. It depends a lot on how things get segmented though.

I have no idea how to reconcile sdd and waterfall. With SDD you’re working per feature, right? Waterfall is speccing the entire project upfront and with a strong force against any changes as you go before a final delivery.
