If they're super motivated by the 3dness, Id suggest try Spore with the Galactic Adventures. Spore is a great 3d editing program for someone to get introduced to and Galactic Adventures let's you put all the stuff you create toget

The final state in chess is a single* state which yes, then branches out to N checkmate configurations and then N*M one-move-from-checkmates, and so on. (*Technically it's won/lost/draw.) The equivalent final state in theore

That's a good point. It looks like the article hints at some success on that front. It'd be interesting to see what that means quantitatively. Interesting that this delta could even be used as a measure of the llm's value. I&

It would be interesting to compare to training a NN to draft w/o the Mistral starting point (both by epoch and by $). It's not obvious to me why the LLM component would be relevant. Maybe there are enough deck lists or mock draft

The Reals are ordered right? Any two elements can be compared. I'm guessing you might be referring to infinite sets of reals being potentially unordered under zfc w/o the axiom of choice. In that case, you made up this word '

Newsom is going to run for president soon. Half the articles you see about how horrible SF is include references to 'Newsom's San Francisco' even though it's been a dozen years and 3 mayors since his tenure.

"With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk” It seems like you could calculate how much data is within X% error of a 5GB model, and what X% should be for 'visual data'. I bet it&

You don't get the exact pixel values decoding a jpeg. But for a lot of uses, what you get is close enough. One could describe llms similarly.

One theory I remember reading about some where posits life as a scheme for maximizing energy use. I'm not sure how this relates to information quality. I'd be interested in a reference.

Fundamentally, if humanity is given data set A, it will eventually generate dataset A' of 'higher quality' than A. Colloquially that might be called 'progress' or maybe even 'understanding' or 'learni

I think a lot of folks are missing the point thinking this needs to be super-robust to be useful. This is a hedge against courts deciding scraping data for training purposes is valid. Maybe you're allowed to scrape data, but with this,

For sure, people who pirate are helping archivism. Similarly, people who murder are helping stem climate change. That being said, I agree with most of your statements and concerns. I probably don't weigh them quite as highly compared t

Honestly, it seems like if you accept any contract law you implicitly must accept copyright law. Consider the following contracts: I agree to harvest your crops in exchange for 50% of the yield. I agree to sing if you give me supper. I agre

I'm interpreting your view as property only applies to physical things or abstractions of physical things. Is there a name for this theory? I'd say I subscribe to the labor theory or property and it's interesting to think abo

I feel like I can interpret what your saying in two ways: - Archivism is an important goal - Often cannot be accomplished in a way that meets the creators interests - Important enough that sometimes it supersedes the interest of the creator

I'd also like to disagree with the claim "many artists seem to think their creativity was formed in a vacuum". In my experience, most artists will gladly list out the artists that they've admired and studied from int the

So long as you're consistent with that view for all forms of intellectual property that seems a reasonable position. However, most of the world had chosen to enact barriers giving rights to the creators of IP, on the theory that that

Everyone knows that the term machine learning doesn't actually have anything to do with human learning, right? It's just a set of words that were catchier than gradient descent or curve fitting. Asserting legal rights based on a n

The fashion industry and pretty much the concept and existence of luxury brands are counter to this claim.
