Okay, but your objection was requiring more evidence for the less likely assertion constituted an "arbitrary bar", you cannot argue that and quote _an arbitrary estimate by another commenter_

Prior probability estimates are not part of science?

The argument is not "research accidents categorically do not happen" it was "are they the more common event and therefore the more probable explanation, absent anything else"

Like Moq last year ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37051967 ) this strikes me as another poor solution to the legitimate problem of funding work on OSS libraries - in addition to the licensing issues pointed out here,

Setting aside the question of who holds it, is it an inconsistent position? If a broadening of fair use is necessary for developing large language models, it's perfectly consistent to argue it should also extend to artists/archivi

This posterization-vectorization approach is what the Flash "Trace Bitmap" tool implemented (I'm not sure if Animate still has it?), but if your image isn't originally clipart/vector art, it gives the resulting vect

I think this comes down to the Huggingface libraries defaulting to downloading the model from HF if they cannot locate the weights - so "make your own text classifier" tutorial notebooks default to bert-based-uncased as a "st
