That wouldn't be a problem, just look at climate science, it has decent models of very complicated systems, grounded in real-world understanding. But it requires lot of data to be collected and made available for people who do these si

Yeah, but you also need to compare it with real world data. Without grounding, the simulation will be very limited. So you need to understand the real-world monetary flows to a sufficient level of detail. You need to understand who actually

First, I really appreciate author trying to understand economy better in this way, even though this simulation is quite naive. I think everybody should do that. But as others have noted, it has no concept of capital, private property, and l

I agree, and that's why I favor it to unit testing (although to be fair, they are pretty complementary, because each addresses different end of the spectrum). To properly unit test, you need to have a different implementation, which yo

I think the fundamental problem is that, despite our wishes, there are programs which are inherently complex, and cannot be refactored into a simple, by-pieces testable, form. And if we try to do that anyway, all we end up with is just more

I find Linear B more readable than Linear A, but I agree with the OP, if there were additional explanatory comments in Linear A code, then it would be probably more readable than Linear B.

If a prompt is commonly used, then it wasn't created by you, and isn't copyrightable. It has to have enough original content so it could be copyrighted. I am sure a short poem is copyrightable. But then again, fair use also allows

Maybe I misunderstand, but isn't your point "the only solution IS to change the laws"?

Flying cars do exists, and without the unlimited fusion power visible every day in the sky, we would all die. So there is a good chance you will see all three.

I only see 19 questions. I guess one could add an "Introduce yourself".

Do you know of any good tutorials how to create a pure webassembly application that can run on Android?

I am not really sure that minified JS is any more transparent. IMHO it's not source code by the original definition.

Improvement in quality is improvement in design, since having less bugs is one of the desired properties of good design.

Yeah, your primitives are effectively your reserved words. And you need some primitives.

Musk, Thiel and Andreessen are not liberal or libertarian, they are all conservative. They are not proponents of freedom, they all value authority above everything. Look at how they run their companies - on top-down authority. Somebody who

OK, I am confused what policy you're arguing in favor of. You seem to think that limiting search is too broad a measure, yet you think that an actress will be annoyed by the results of the search. I suggested a sort of compromise. If s

Looking forward to it. My only wish is that they add something like Recursive Blueprints to the base game, so we could build von Neumann probes.

Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from an LLM? Cute, but practically speaking, I would prefer the former.

Well that's just harassment. Has nothing to do with AI, you can as well send her a dick pic.

Yes, I think the "famous person lookalike" loophole should be illegal for generated images. All generated images are lookalikes, by definition. Also no tricks like "this is not a pipe". But I think we have to allow looka

I think I addressed that in the next sentence. Doing an image search using a real image and deciding whether the fake image you find is good enough for your fantasy is already more complicated process than getting two images (one of your fa

by js8 3y ago
Not really, because you cannot efficiently search by face and body features. IMHO publishing an image that looks like a famous actress, without indicating which actress it is, should be allowed. Sure, perhaps somebody could do an image sear

by js8 3y ago
I think this is inevitable and the best we can do, as a society, is to forbid publishing images together with personal identification (like actress name) without their consent. As they explain, almost anybody can combine the two images usin

I have only skimmed the article, but IMHO this is a pretty bad summary. (For those who want a summary, the reasons are also outlined in the article.)

So perhaps we need to require that commercial models trained on public data be also made public?

I was about to say the same. Before Agile, we had one Friday meeting with development manager where we pretty much did this.
