But that's kind of the point - in your culture apparently there is a difference between making unrealistically ambitious claims and being scammy, and in my culture there is not. If someone tries to get investor's money by making u

At least in other places in Europe, and I assume also in UK, it's somewhat common for any sources of financing to new companies (i.e. without a proven steady cash flow), both banks and other investors, to explicitly require personal gu

If something takes two inputs (e.g. an adder), then I'd expect it to have two separate connectors, not "also" plugging in the second thing.
94.
by PeterisP 2y ago
Hmm, my decades of clicking things lead me to assume a flow from top to bottom, so something with a connector on the bottom is a source that will output data through that connector, and something with a connector on the top is a sink that w

This seems to be begging for a user-switchable "dense mode" (like the fad of "dark mode" switches), which swaps the "buyer-oriented" CSS to the "I-use-this-every-day" oriented CSS.

I think this would have more chances of success if it focused on just one aspect of game creation, instead of trying to solve engine development, gameplay development and content development all at once. I.e. if an programmer wants to creat

Sure, but that's digressing from the key point of the grandparent post about the visual novels - that this median number of "game" revenue is meaningless, because steam sales conflate to entirely different markets i.e. proper

I think there's a consensus that you don't assume that the human experience of "green" is consistent, only that people do have such an experience. We can possibly try to "align" those experiences with communi

But organic brains aren't some magic unknowable mush, we know how they work on a low level, we can trace how visual processing is done, etc, etc. As far as we see, the raw computing capabilities of biological neurons that we understand

There's currently no reason to assume that we're more than a complex biological computer - while it's indeed interesting to explain how subjective experience and qualia arise, it's certainly plausible that this can arise

I think there's practical value to knowing what would make a very complex AI system conscious in order to explicitly and intentionally avoid it - we want to create powerful artificial systems to do all the tasks that humans don't

by PeterisP 2y ago
I somewhat disagree, I feel that the prevailing position is that unlike intelligence (e.g. Legg&Hutter definitions) consciousness can not be easily assumed from mere behavior and relies on certain things happening (or not happening) i

It is very relevant to keep analyzing and keep trying to get any other answer to this question, because while "appearing like us in every other way, they also experience like us" applies to other humans, as soon as we want to talk

Knocking the trackers off is a real issue, however, a great non-digital solution to that is the wooden laser-cut boards with physical notches for the cube slots - e.g. https://github.com/cophus/terraforming-mars-board

I probably prefer a clear separation of nature and non-nature, with my home/backyard being the latter one, but having actual nature within a walking distance - which requires the non-nature parts to be dense, not sprawling wide.

Worst case complexity matters when the input data can be manipulated by someone malicious, who can then intentionally engineer the degenerate worst case to happen - as we have seen historically in e.g. denial of service attacks exploiting c

Getting a certain amount (according to their vesting schedule) of stock options, which are worth a substantial amount of money and thus clearly is "good and valuable consideration".

The general criteria for authorship require including the people who worked on the experiments and data for the paper, which can be more important contribution than most of the text in that paper. In other experimental fields, there are pap

I think for most people it's far too late, as there exists at least something on the internet and that something is sufficient - photos can be aged virtually and a single photo is enough, voice doesn't change much and you need o

I'd argue that "code that emits SQL" is never an inherent need but a possible development time-saver - we need code that emits SQL in those cases (and only those cases) where it saves a meaningful amount of development time c

Caveat emptor and your mileage may vary; but unlike nVidia where you could just assume that everything is compatible with everything, for AMD I'd strongly recommend that you try before you buy - consider renting a cloud machine with th

We've rooted for that for years, but looking at what AMD does and doesn't do, I've lost hope for this. ĀMD don't seem to want to do what it takes; it's not that they're trying and failing, but they're simp

Technically we definitely can, but are there sufficiently many people willing to pay a sufficiently high premium for that feature? How much more would you be willing to pay for an otherwise identical card that has the option to expand RAM,

The while point of GPU memory is that it's faster to access than going to memory (like your main RAM) through the PCIe bottleneck.

Yes, some non-linearity is important - not for Turing completeness, but because without it the consecutive layers effectively implement a single linear transformation of the same size and you're just doing useless computation. However,

Why would the license matter in cases where your actions aren't restricted by patent law and you don't need to accept any license and any limitations in it? If you have a valid patent for e.g "A Device or Appparatus that does

In current neural networks the activation function usually is not sigmoid but something like ReLU ( y = 0 if x<0 else x ), and in any case the computation of activations is not meaningful part of total compute - for non-tiny networks, al

As my kids got some recent Choose Your Own Adventure books, I'd say that the quests in modern MMORPGs tend to be significantly worse than that.

I think there's a reasonable C) which acknowledges that there are multiple jobs where people have an important reason to just have to pee on the spot, and also ridicule gamers for implying that their game is comparable to that.

The models are multiple orders of magnitude smaller than the compressed versions of their training data, they can not be the equivalent of a DB of it.
