Yes, agreed, I don't think the problem is with networks that mix tons of input data in a way that doesn't heavily derive from one or a couple of sources. The currently available models do not have overfitting solved, though, and t

This might be technically correct but doesn't seem to matter much in practice because of how many practical cases of NN outputting copyright-infriging content there are. These include examples in the recent lawsuits that made the round

If you have an image, then train a neural network on that image, then use the neural network to reconstruct that image in detail, then the NN by definition contains enough information used to reconstruct that image - hence, a copy. With NNs

I assume that's one of the parts of the work done at https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc - not happening any soon yet, but it'll eventually be done.

I meant that automatic garbage collection is not always the way to go for some people, especially in the days when JVM GCs were not as advanced as they are now.

Also the Common Lisp OS Mezzano[0] runs like that. It runs Doom and Quake by means of lowering C to LLVM-IR which is then lowered to a subset of CL which is then compiled by the trusted native Mezzano compiler. [0] https://github

Not until hardware became fast enough and compilers performant enough to support this, and not until everyone had to learn their lessons with approaches like the JVM.

Yes. Probably the most scary thing is that this part is becoming more and more true as well.

Yes, the video is pretty amazing - Gary in 2014 managed to predict pretty much everything that's happening with WASM nowadays: the push for safe execution of software compiled in unsafe languages, a common VMesque instruction set, web

Your response is technically correct but misses the entire point of the video. To make a tl;dr, the video talks about a technology called asm.js which other applications end up compiled into so they can run with near-native speeds on any sy

I think the mistake is to consider "human" something separate from the rest of the world as opposed to a more holistic point of view. The fact that we have a somewhat complicated mind capable of abstract thinking doesn't mean

Sure, the universe seems infinite enough both in time and space. Assuming that laws of statistics hold, there should be other areas where there's optimum for life as we know it to develop - even if we won't get to meet it because

These badges are emoji - currently e.g. https://infosec.exchange/@lcamtuf has three of them. That's 200% more than you can get on Twitter, and $8 cheaper, too. Actual verification happens via proving that you control a

Donating to server admins seems to work for the instances whose growth I'm in/directly observing. And then, running an instance with a few hundred users is not a resource hog.

Yes, and we're already seeing it e.g. with https://mas.to getting hugged to death because of pg joining it. If anything, it can be treated as a technological problem, solvable e.g. by (theorizing now) splitting a single ins

It's an error to treat the Fediverse as you would treat Twitter, where there is a singular platform in some way external to its users. Fediverse is a mesh network with single-user instances being feasible. If a single node has problems

I don't think you need to reach infinity to realize it's OTCA metapixels all the way down and OTCA metapixels all the way up. In a way, it just loops forever.
