You’re contradicting the conclusion / interpretation written on dglaw.com? What is incorrect, exactly? It doesn’t seem like your summary challenges either my comment or the article I linked to, it’s not clear what you’re arguing. The c

There is US precedent for training being deemed not fair use. https://www.dglaw.com/court-rules-ai-training-on-copyrighted... Why wouldn’t training be illegal? It’s illegal for me to acquire and watch movies or listen to so

OTOH, what if the goal of downplaying the environmental risks is to try to make people gullible and stop caring and spend more of their money now and ignore the consequences, as industrialization has been doing for a couple of centuries?

Some people were talking about that, until GPU for AI got to be more than 10x bigger.

Right, the number of digits you need for any given calculation depends on the magnitudes of the numbers involved, and the acceptable precision of the result. BTW round to nearest might be unsafe, I’m certain that there are many situations w

Oh now that is somewhat surprising! Is this 64 bit or 128 bit floats? 32 bit floats aren’t accurate enough to represent $1B to the penny. Do error values get stored as deltas and passed around with the float values? Would love to hear more

That’s not too surprising to me, I imagine that many number types are used, and it depends entirely on the task at hand? If you have deeper knowledge of what gets done in practice, I’m still curious what criteria and types and how many deci

Sure it is, and your own comment above about gmail to gmail being fairly secure demonstrated that. Using a photocopier is intentional, and everyone knows what a photocopier is. Most people don’t know what IMAP is, and an email sender does n

If Amazon’s layoffs aren’t AI driven, and AWS is making more money than it’s spending on AI infra… how is Amazon evidence of AI spending replacing jobs? This is an interesting topic, but this particular article left me pretty unsatisfied, i

Yes, that’s what I’m thinking of. Search says it’s sometimes called Adaptive Driving Beam or Dynamic Light Assist. Ah too bad if it doesn’t apply to low beams… LED low beams are still extremely problematic. The search results are telling me

LED headlights are blinding. One thing I’ve noticed is that many people, especially people with non-LED headlights, are resorting to running with brights on at all times. Pretty sure it’s not legal, but I have to admit that many LED headlig

Is that the number of adds that don’t overflow an 8-bit result? On that hunch, I just checked and I get 32896. Edit: if I exclude either input being zero, I get 32385. You also get the same number when including input zeros but excluding re

That video is excellent , thanks for sharing. BTW it does back up the point @subb was making, that the experience of color is a perceptual thing; “light isn’t what makes something a color. As we’ve seen, colors are ultimately a psychologic

I can’t speak for others, but this might be extra relevant to this forum — I experienced a shift and became more optimistic when I attempted a startup. Luck may play a part, and it might be a big part, I don’t want to downplay that possibil

There’s a valid point in there somewhere, but you’re also saying some stuff that seems hyperbolic and getting harder to agree with. You’re right that perception is complicated, and I agree with you when you say 3D models don’t capture all o

Still not seeing why you claimed color is definitely not something you can plug into a 3D model. We can, and do, use 3D color models, of course. And some of them are designed to try to be closer to perceptual in nature, such as the LAB spac

Have you looked at the actual ink colors? Printing is a very different story. They’re not using 12 primaries, they’re using multiple gradations of the same primary. I don’t know which ink set you used, but 5 different grayscale values is co

by dahart 1y ago
Here you’re talking about only perception, and not physical color. You could use 100 dimensional spectral colors, or even 1D grayscale values, and still have the same result. So this example doesn’t have any bearing on whether a 3D color sp

That split seems to have happened before I was born, a loong time ago, ;) Don’t they mean different things in Silicon Valley today, and wouldn’t both libertarians and liberals take issue with being lumped together today?

It seems like you lumped liberal and libertarian together, is that accurate? If so, why? Aren’t they quite different economic and political philosophies?
