This is a really good question and is tangent to attribution in art-generating packages as well. It's a part of the process that gets ignored because nobody wants to deal with the unethical implications. If software is doing it, it can

I understand that drama like that can't be easily tolerated in a company but if it's the owner causing drama all the time I also get the frustration of the people taking part. I wonder whether this could have worked in a publicall

My parents had a break-in as well but they collect all kinds of paper notes and irrelevant stuff, magazines etc. Their documents are organized according to some eldritch principle - it's all there but you'll need some time to find

I feel for this kind of stuff, you want to have a local, air gapped computer, maybe a Raspberry that has an encrypted drive. A little computer that is just going to work X years down the line. Edit: Or alternatively, keep a printed document

Have no illusion, you're still the product - only if no data collection was part of the contract, you'd be a real customer. Youtube Premium users are also premium ad targets because they obviously have disposable income.

Watched it again last week. Then another time with the director's commentary (commentary can be found on youtube, audio only). The fun thing is that Kurt Russel is usually there with Carpenter: They have a drink, tell stories about the

What worked for me (diagnosed with ADHD) is to stream my desktop to a friend and have 1.5h work periods with 1h pause inbetween. Being watched by someone who knows you're supposed to be doing one thing and one thing only can be a great

Also, I feel the core of art is some promise of meaning pertaining to human experience. Look at some abstract art and what do you think about? You think about the meaning and what it might represent, inevitably assigning your own meaning to

I've spent 10 minutes trying to find a description of the training data for DALLE-2. The most I could find was that it was taken from 'publically-available' sources among others.

It's ironic, seeing people who build models trained on other people's work (which is in no way credited) to be worried about origin and credit.

I've been wondering about giving artists some sort of adversarial filter to post their creations online and have it complicate or ruin training.

Sometimes distraction is not caused by the actual distractions around yourself but by problems with regulating your emotions - you may not want to do the thing you want to focus on, it may be too challenging or it may make you anxious. One

That supplying weapons does help save civilian lives is a non-sequitur for me. Technically, if you only care about civilian lives, you would immediately surrender. But as to your point, yes - I also think this is mostly virtue signalling -

I think to get some sort of understanding (instead of just operative understanding of quantum mechanics) you have to dive relatively deep into theoretical physics. Spin can then arise from enhancing the Schrödinger equation with a relativis

If you give the entire occupied populace military training, don't you basically train the resistance yourself? I think any occupying power will be paranoid enough about that (and for good reason) to not do that.

I've been reading up on the history of the Bosnian genocide, I should probably also read up on Czechnya. I really hope that Ukraine won't go down like Czechnya but I fear in the end, Putin only knows one trick.

There are US security experts who also argue that limited nuclear war can be waged (Edit: and won). It's an idea from the 80s and it's not something that planners have disregarded.

I want to add: If you look at the tools and theoretical underpinnings spaceX uses to develop their vehicles, they didn't develop them themselves. Numerical simulation methods, especially for hypersonic flow, powder-bed fusion, CAD etc.

How do the politics of a Mars colony work? Say Elon controls the sole means of supplying the colony from Earth - do the colonists effectively become hostages? What if they mutiny? Will the supplies stop coming? Is this murder? Many question
