That makes absolutely zero sense, regardless of how much I'd look at it.

It only sounds like that because most people are not able to look at things objectively. But, obviously, you're wrong. I don't own a car and haven't for many years. I never intend to own a car ever again. But just because I d

I don't really understand why everyone in this post is so hung up on this. As long as there is no regulation in a particular area, obviously each actor will look out for their own interest. I wouldn't even call it selfish, it&#x27

Unfortunately, the value to society is not the main factor in compensation. If the incentives were to be aligned that way, we'd live in a very different world.

Totally agree with this, I’m just saying that few, if any, companies would make the decision to force people back in the office based on the well-being of cities or the real estate market. All companies act in their best interest and that’s

by rocgf 3y ago
Yes, but this is like the opposite of a tragedy of the commons scenario. Are you saying the companies do this in order to save the cities and real estate prices? That's likely not even a small factor at the bottom of the list.

I'm not a data scientist or anything, but as far as my understanding goes, you can think of it as a list of numbers (floats, integers, whatever), each number representing a feature of the thing you're trying to represent as a vect

I'm sorry, but this is lazy at best. > But the EU has discovered that it can extract money by threatening to ban the foreign companies for reasons of privacy, data protection etc. So your argument is that the EU, with trillions of d

This guy definitely is _the source_ I would use to get all my information. He has videos on every topic imaginable, I can only assume he's an expert in all of them.

I worked at IBM many years ago. At some point, some hotshot executive came to our site and was giving a presentation about Watson Healthcare (IIRC). It's a bit hard to reproduce exactly, but he said soemthing along the lines of: "

Absolutely not. Do you think we’d use resources more effectively by cutting our hours? Maybe the global maxima is not the standard 9-5 work day, that’s almost a given, but to claim that working dramatically less will yield better results is

There may be some who disgree with your view, but let's assume most people want the 'ultimate' goal of being 'liberated' from work in order to 'live more'. However, that's a wildly simplistic view of

To me, this type of argument is so hard to understand that I'm not sure if you're serious or not. Private jets are bad and wasteful & the people attending that are pricks anyway etc. etc. Everybody agrees. But I actually see n

I used to play sports professionally at junior level and I experienced what you described quite a few times. At that time, I did not understand it in any way, but it was clear to me that some sort of "trance" was happening under c

> The US is a huge outlier regarding salaries compared to practically anywhere else. That is obviously not true, unless you exclude a lot of countries from "anywhere else".

This is not really the case everywhere. Healthcare and education are not drastically more expensive everywhere in the Western world. In Europe, these things have not increased in price to the same degree as the US and they are definitely mo

In the Netherlands, that is not the case. The worst they can do is give you a fine.

That is only true in a small amount of areas, like the city center of Amsterdam. Bike lanes are separated from pedestrians, so the only issue would be crossing the street.

Cycling drunk is technically illegal, but often unenforced in the Netherlands. You should see the thousands of obviously 'drunk' people leaving festivals on bikes, under the eyes of the police.

Indeed, I feel many are betting on rationality coming on top and that simply makes no sense to me. For example, does it seem like the Russian public is rational in any way? There are many approving of the 'denazification' rhetoric

When did the US 'flex their muscles' over Ukraine? There was absolutely zero talk of the US/NATO directly intervening militarily in Ukraine. As for Taiwan, it's an unknown and if you claim otherwise, you're doing it

I think DALL-E understands the same way an Excel sheet would understand SUM(B3:B6), obviously at a way larger scale and with a more complicated function. It's all just rather simple maths all the way down.

by rocgf 4y ago
Does anyone actually believe DALL-E "understands" what it's doing? For any reasonable definition of "understands", I assume most people would be skeptical. So if we go with that, then yes, it just glues things toget

Same here. I remember seeing this as a kid and being perplexed, but haven't thought about it until reading it now. This is sooo interesting, I wonder how much stuff like this we have hidden away.
