Surely a perfect 1 to 1 computer simulation of an entire human would be deterministic though? Why is determinism even relevant?

What brand did you opt for over Uniqlo?

Agreed, I thought I had it cracked when I noticed that I just needed to get the spacing right on Easy, but man the difficulty is a cliff going into medium. EDIT: Oh Ok, Medium isn't that hard either, much harder than easy though, just

ok, so proposed study design, provide a sample of these along with obscure english words to a number of individuals, and get them to try pick out the real words. From there take the selection of the fake words people ranked the most real. S

A uniform distribution makes sense for gibberish, not something I'd considered. A counterpoint I'd raise is I wonder how aggressive Dall-E 2 is in making assumptions about words it hasn't seen before. Hard to do given that it

Shouldn't this be expected to a certain extent? Gibberish has to map _somewhere_ in the models concept space. Whether is maps onto anything we'd recognise as consistent doesn't mean that the AI wouldn't have some concept

The opening 3 seconds to Certitudes by C418 triggers this in me so reliably that I can rewind it and just trigger it over and over again. https://youtu.be/72fGruG_LSY

I agree with your sentiment in total, but I'd also add, for every out of touch programmer still swearing by JQuery, there are 5 recruiters that demand proficiency in it that other programmers feel they need to appease. I think the most

So how long until someone trains one of these models to complete tasks by interacting directly with network/unix sockets? At the moment, it seems like the model needs to be trained with each modality of data in mind at the start, but a

I think there's some middle ground between "Hey, we need some more support, our conditions suck" and "Fuck it, we'll let the sick die I guess"

Well yeah, because it's reporting on a survery of nurses which included a question about whether they're considering leaving the profession. I think your would be headline is a fair inference to come to, though not the sole cause.

MS powerpoint already has a feature to suggest stock images based on slide title. With this, you could get a consistent art style and theme on your slides, and be truly unique too. $ART_STYLE + $COLOR_THEME + $SLIDE_TITLE

Exactly. I can't imagine how much media would begin to use 3d assets if it became an order of magnitude cheaper to do so. Not to mention, imagine the pipeline of 1. "GPT-3, give me 10,000 descriptions of different doors" 2. &

Creative industries are on the cusp of a massive upset. Relatively soon, there will be commercial models of this quality for music/code/text/speech/images/3d models etc. Once these AI generated assets flow like wate

I don't think robotics are the part holding back a clothes folding robot. If you hooked up some basic manipulators to a VR controller, I'm pretty sure I could fold some shirts. Not particularly well or quickly, but to a level that

Yeah that'd be great. I also want cars that run on salt water. I'm not saying that small data ai is equally impossible, but simply saying "we should make this better thing" isn't enough.

I'm not the op, but being on friendly terms with people handling bids, doing small things even like helping them cross of simple policy things like "considering three options" can do wonders for your future bids.

The ML community has been so focused on recommender systems, maybe what we need is un-recommender systems. (I'm joking, it obviously has very similar perverse results)

I found that playing multiplayer made that experience much better. The smaller sidetracks are more satisfying knowing others won't have to deal with them, and if others are doing the same thing they're less frequent allowing you t

Because you'd make your own library used exclusively for tracking, or check to see if another site specific set of resources had been loaded.

Very true. I wonder how many people would be out of work if the US opted for universal programs (UBI, universal healthcare, guaranteed parental leave, subsidized childcare etc.) and in the process gutted much of the bureaucracy required to

I'm getting paywalled on that article. My assumption is that instead of moving to the biggest cities in the us, people are spreading out amongst the smaller cities, not the myriad of tiny counties in the US. Am I wrong? EDIT: https:&#

Good point, I'll concede that one. I think there is some level of malicious intent implied on the grandparent that I don't think you can attribute to TSA policy makers though.

Universal healthcare would be a fantastic move for the US. I don't think the US spends money on making healthcare worse for people though. (Unless you want to argue that universal healthcare would be cheaper than the current standard a
