Thank you for such an interesting, detailed, and in-depth response!

Now if the shareholders need next quarter’s numbers go up to juice the stock price and make it clear to the executive team that if they don’t reduce expenses they will find someone who will. Where should the liability lie if the only way to

I've been running through the problem in my head from a theoretical perspective but am in a similar situation in regards to familiarity with tooling. The depth map encodes an array of relative positions, but without knowing the camera

Another piece of the puzzle that is worth noting, it is unclear if the model itself is copyrightable. There's a reason that they require you to affirmatively agree to the license before sharing the model instead of just attaching the l

This is really cool, and I can immediately see a lot of way to take this further and improve some of it's weaknesses. To solve the issue with hidden faces (right now it just projects out copies of the visible textures, you could combin

I think it's actually a smart move. Your first guess in Worldle has traditionally been one made with 0 information, and therefore people tend to pick a word and just use it every day. By making this change it encourages people to mix i

This way madness lies. It's impossible to reach 100% accuracy when evaluating the veracity of a story, we are always operating with imperfect information. How critical you are of evidence helps sets the boundary for your range of reali

You are giving Apple way too much credit. All it shows is that the team responsible for driving increases to service revenue has been gaining influence relative to the more user-centric teams. These moves are also very dangerously raising t

I went through something similar in high school and college, my personal theory is that extroversion is very similar in a lot of ways to physical fitness. Some people are naturally predisposed to a higher baseline, it's easier for them

This seems to very clearly fall under the umbrella of fair use for purposes of parody. I hope some entity steps up and offers them pro-bono legal services.

It’s worth pointing out that you are not making a fair comparison when you compare the amount of data that a NN must parse to that of an individual when learning a specific new concept. A human brain is not just trained on their own lived e

Given the way the language model works these words could have multiple meanings. I wonder if training a form of textual inversion to more directly represent these concepts might improve the results. You could even try teaching it to represe

Agreed, I think it's a big failure of the imagination to think that a monopoly-cementing acquisition is the only way to encourage more competition. A world in which large dominating companies can be overthrown by a promising upstart is

That didn’t start with our last president. The other half spent a good part of 8 years spreading racially-tinged false narratives around the previous president. Be careful about partisan blindness.

Email and Mastodon have a similar issues in that they combine two different layers of functionality into a single protocol. The bottom layers (identity and social graph respectively) would be better served by not being tied to specific form

The fetus is utterly reliant on the mother to provide a hospitable environment, it seems self-evident that a body that is not autonomous doesn't have the same right to self-autonomy. Just think through the consequences of the argument
258.
by dwallin 4y ago
It's seems like absolute bodily autonomy would be an extremely libertarian position. You can't get more hyper local than that.

To be fair, the full comment is even more belittling than the sound bite. It’s almost dripping with contempt for those who have a different set of values than him.

I think it's a mistake to just drop most of the data and then try to rebuild the lost data afterwards. Nothing requires you send just a set of points across. A better approach is to transform and compress the data BEFORE sending it acr

Your analysis overly simplifies the matter. For one, this assumes that there is a replacement solution available for the role the employee fills with a cost less than the cost of an employee. This is trivially falsifiable in the large major

The links you provided don't support your argument in the way you think it does, but does reveal a gap in your understanding of ADHD. ADHD has strong correlations with motor control and sleep issues, and is notoriously under-diagnosed

Do you realize you are agreeing and providing supporting evidence for the point I was making? There is significant gun ownership in this country and support for guns. The idea that gun owners are some persecuted minority is ridiculous. &quo

by dwallin 4y ago
There's no way one can look at the existing situation and realistically think that gun owners are some sort of persecuted minority, that voting bloc is the golden sheep of the republican party. There's a bit of a distortion field

You are being pedantic. The expression "multiple points of failure" is commonly used to refer to a single system that can be disrupted in multiple ways. They are are clearly referring to multiple independent systems where each sys

Honestly I think email needs to be rethought from the ground up, just a whole new protocol with a killer app to get it going. Some of the most salient uses/qualities of email: - Asynchronous communication - Decentralized / Federat

These kinds of changes always start in some sort of localized group or community. While it's wise to not assume that every small movement is going to turn into a large one, it's still worth paying attention to what's going on

More like everything can become a bubble. I think many have started using "ponzi scheme" to reference bubbles that appear to be crafted or manipulated by bad actors.

I'm not sure it's a convincing rebuttal, the examples shown all seem to have some visible commonality. Eg. "Apoploe vesrreaitais" Could refer to something along the lines of a "fan / wedge" or "wing-l
