Yeah, assuming you think it's not a bug when the backend API that you're mocking is accidentally removed or changes its response slightly.

I don't really understand the implications of this license. Does it forbid using the resulting vectors for commercial purpose? Or does it only forbid stuff like packaging their code into a product, or offering to run it as a service.

But the lack of jobs is not a problem, assuming the same amount of things can be produced. A problem would be not having access to those things.

Indeed, the dithered image looks way too bright. It should be converted from sRGB gamma to linear light before dithering to black/white. Also, will need more than 8bits per channel if you hold the linear image as an intermediate result

I hear this "dependency" argument over and over again, and it rings so very wrong in my ears. Survival depends on so many other people. Just ignore the flow of money for a moment and consider who depends on whose work most. UBI is

Convolution is generic signal-processing. It's quite common to use a one-dimensional convolution for audio filters, it would work perfectly fine as a bass filter for example. However, 2D conv+maxpool is an image processing technique th

Salaries are at best weakly correlated to contribution to society. Somebody raising their own children is contributing to society, for example, usually without salary. And producing food is probably a more valuable contribution than arguing

Publishing a taxable income (not the source of this income) is surely not "government spying on you" because government needs those numbers anyway. You could maybe argue it's "corporations spying on you", but I thin

You can even see this problem in the article. The convolution-based sample image is clearly darker than the nearest-neighbour one. People go all crazy about interpolation and then get the brightness wrong. It's even more obvious for hi

You would be better at memorizing numbers but worse at something else. Maybe you'd remember fewer contacts. Also, we have become worse at adding big numbers in our head, but we actually make fewer mistakes and are faster with big numbe

Even if they accept contributions normally (e.g. under the same license), the above licences will allow them (or anyone else) to make a proprietary fork.

Money is circulating, thus the concept of taxing it only once seems a bit silly. We could argue endlessly who is really paying which taxes. E.g. if you tax income you are really just obscuring the fact that you are taxing the company who

I think it's poor taste to judge art by how much money someone else is willing to pay for it. It's like judging software by how much money it can to extract from its users, or by how many people know the name of its authors. Both

I don't think the author of the original article would agree with that goal. The problem with "creating jobs" is that someone (the government) has to decide (for its citizens) what kind of work is worth doing. The no-longer-n

Try looking for papers about image caption generation. For machine translation you can squeeze the information of a sentence into a vector (using a LSTM). You can then reconstruct the sentence in a different language. There was a paper how

I like the random selection part as anti-corruption measure. But the top 0.1 percent IQ filter is not very democratic. You can train for those (if you have the time and money) and there will always be some cultural bias built into the test.

Communism is much more focused about workers and equality. Just providing the bare basic needs for everyone, without expecting them to work or live in a certain way, is a very different concept. What if all basic goods can be produced with

Maybe this could evolve into an artist's tool for digital painting, where you often do colorization as the final step in the workflow. As for adding back color to photos, I don't see much need for that today, except as a machine l

In this century we should stop worrying so much about job safety and workers and instead care more about humans (regardless of their employment status). We will never run out of useful work. But we should get used to the idea that work is n
