what does 1-based mean?

That happened to me on instagram (DMs) a bit of time ago too.

Facebook controls the algorithm, wouldn't they just be able to down amplify how much that story is spread on it's network? (Rather than resort to this?)

Yeah I was totally anti hype when everyone was excited about style transfer and stuff like that. I found most of the VQGAN+CLIP way overhyped (sure it's abstract and funky but you get bored of that look after 10 images - it's like

I used to be a huge sceptic of this cycle of deep learning. But not anymore. GANs are incredible and there's a huge amount of low hanging fruit left to pluck. I definitely don't believe AI will repeat it's history (history do

I keep seeing the same material like this (and love it btw) but I keep thinking that it's all only scratching the surface. From what I've seen in abstract algebra this stuff goes way deeper and becomes way more beautiful. I would

Did you mean the Thiel Fellowship?

> He funds Thiel College Huh? I've never heard of this. Searching doesn't give any good results. Could you direct me to somewhere to read more about this?

Not really sure leaving the US would do that much good (speaking as a european).

I bet the algorithm would be very different if it was actually penalized with 'false positives' as a scarce resource.

Best decision I ever made was installing an extension to get rid of the recommendations (they're such crap - I wish they would actually try to recommend me things with a high likelihood of me enjoying rather than whatever propaganda yo

Hopefully someone will use this technology to allow people to protect their private image library from being used in computer vision applications.

This really handicaps your ability to use it as the powerful tool that it is though. I wish this was a real option.

The insane amount of effort this must have required boggles my mind.

I always find NK as a threat such a silly idea. The moment things escalated to anything real they'd be wiped out or even if they did manage to put up a fight they seem so resource constrained that it'd be over within weeks. I can

A platform where I self-censor my real thoughts for some signaling purpose, neat.

Sure. It's just that if the goal really is to identify which stories aren't covered by news then if you only look at what news covers to determine that, you'll miss some of the bigger 'coordinated silences'. Weinste

I'll just throw out a comment (even though this is mostly a thought experiment) that doing any type of twitter analysis is either nearly impossible (in the scraping case) or prohibitively expensive (e.g. using their API). They've

It would be challenging to define "articles that a news organization should cover but isn't" though. Like there's trillions of things that happen every day, where's the lower bound on "news worthy" and h

Definitely a good excuse to just allow the technology to come into existence then. "Hey bad things already exists let's just add more of it! Don't wanna be against progress right?"

I just feel like all this is going to end up as a deeply layered proxy for pushing your political narrative (hidden behind a "AI is math therefore it's objective" veil), and I just don't feel like being part of the decep

I wonder if face identification is actually good enough at that without producing false positives. (Also I think there's been enough movies about that particular scenario that there'd be a ton of uproar if that came into reality.)

Even glass rooms would distract me. I just get a distracting tension in my brain which steals like 20% of brain power whenever I have to think about how what I have on my screen could be perceived by a random person walking by.

Just curious: are there other games people (who are reading this) have been waiting for for like 10 years that show a lot of promise and people are excited about? It used to be The Witness for me but then that released and now there's

There's a ton of countries that just trusts its people to quarantine without the government checking on them.
