The memory of a poem is stored information but your vocal cord is NOT stored information. "*2" and "+1" are vocal cords. They operate on any number of inputs just like how your vocal cord operates on any number of nerve

chatGPT is a reflection of those who trained it (not openAI but the actual ground level people hired to label answers). It generates bullshit because a lot of bullshit was approved during training.

But it's not memorized. The "poem" in the case of the machine learning model is constructed from a general algorithm. Similar to how 2x+1 has no concept of 3. When you input a 1, it does a *2 operation and a +1 operation and

Ok sure. This makes sense. Let's be clear so I don't get off track again. Your point is that an isomorphism means an encoding of the picture exists in the network and is therefore a copy. My point of contention is that it's n

This doesn't make sense. F(X) itself is not (1,5). You have to apply F for it to work. Paint and paint brushes can be thought of as functions. You apply the right inputs (brush strokes) and you get an output that is a painting. Therefo

It's technically sound though. Let me give you an example. y = f(x) = x + 2 This is what's memorized. But with that equation you can plug in a specific x. to get: 3 = f(1) = 1 + 2 The training set here would be (1,

Machine learning is an extension of the concept of linear regression in 2-D space to 9999999-D space. They also make the line more then just a "line" the equation produces more of a best fit complex curve in multi-dimensional spac

Over-fitting is a known problem and deliberately avoided. This does not prevent the curve from intersecting an actual training set. I mean technically, if there are many copies of the same data set pair, THEN you can call it over-fitting. B

How so? I have an equation that makes a number: y = 2x + 3 And I have (x,y) = (1,5) I'm saying the y = 2x + 3 is the ONLY thing stored in memory. The (1,5) is not stored anywhere. (1,5) is training data. y=2x+3 is the mod

This makes perfect sense and is expected. But you have to know, none of the images are memorized. It's a coincidence. I can explain. Think of the analogy of linear regression. You have X,Y 2D space. X is the input (the English sentence

Hah! Old news. You're a decade late. I don't think this is one of those ideas where some one is twisting some other concept into an app. I think this fits, big time. Typically forming a union involves someone stepping up and paint

This type of thing is questionable. It can be viewed from the other angle. If software engineers aren't licensed why do lawyers and plumbers have to be? The pros of being licensed are obvious. The cons are less so. One thing licensing

I mean which do you prefer. Being on a team with terrible engineers, or getting layed off. Take your pick. It's not really a binary choice either. With unions it just increases the probability of you being on a team of terrible enginee

This is a YC owned site and it is against the interests of YC and all it's incubated startups. A lot of founders come here, so yes that group is likely mostly made up of founders.

I wouldn't worry about that. There are literally too many people with your background for this too matter. I think there will be a form of credential-ism and it will continue to be similar to the tech interview.

Yes. But does the law require this. Does the law require the union to have a leader and be operational at all times? Apologies, I'm honestly ignorant about the exact nature of the law here. But from the informal descriptions that I rea

On a side note I feel we can take Unionization into the tech world as a start up or an App. Imagine a blind-esque App that just allows everyone participating to vote anonymously for a union. Then AFTER a union is official then leaders and i
