It's still astounding to me that the 'fractal trick' starts working in R3 and not already in R2.

Would "it's curve fitting by building an internal representation to better describe all the curves seen so far" be a better layperson-ish analogy in your opinion? Depending on how the model is set up, we'd say 'set

That doesn't mean I can't recover the image (or at least get really close to one) using a different query, does it? Edit: It's nonlinear after all.

I am not a lawyer but I'd think: You're not directly competing with the movie though, your work is a review, not a feature film. If you were to make a parody movie from the material of the movie itself, directly taking scenes and

There are laws in the EU that only apply to large companies, like Facebook et. al. because they have much more power in certain spaces. Similar laws can be made for Disney vs. small studios, e.g. "if turnover is less than 100M EUR&#x2F

This is the only issue I have with generative image models. I'd be using them myself right now but I'm too disgusted by how the sausage is made. Once the first licensed, properly sourced models are out, they will get my money or t

It becomes a problem when violating content can be generated faster than it can be discovered and fined.

I should have written Eastern Germany, it was long after unification and there were smart phones involved (but in the US security apparatus, Eastern Germany may still be suspect).

They will investigate your background, whether you have any ties to family abroad by which you could be blackmailed etc. An acquaintance of mine (from East-Germany) had a US boyfriend who started to work for Lockheed - in the interview he w

A mathematical proof is a better guarantee that something works than a demonstration in code. The higher math researchers usually pay for it being less accessible, because the first engineering paper that uses their works gets cited a lot m

I think people regularly overestimate the bandwith and precision of natural language. If you only have language, it's damn hard to communicate to someone how to do something.

Since history is like weather and climate (accurate short time predictions are nigh-impossible, accurate long term predictions are possible), he's banking on long-term predictions. But just like with the climate, the exact trajectory b

I think in a benevolent reading, you have to read it as: "Scientific facade hides many charlatans." Engineering and applied science are entire universes removed from the ideal of science that gets painted here in defense of them.

And then people go to empirical data and apply the Great Smoothing: By dropping ML/DL methods on the data (also including results from discontinuous behavior), continuity is often implicitly assumed.

Some probably but I feel you could also ask your 5yo kid and have the same efficacy. The work is not in generating ideas, it's in the verification.

Maybe it will be called GPT-XP by then, with Microsoft owning half of it.

So it is only usable in congested Autobahn traffic to begin with - it's the minimum speed you're allowed to drive on a clear road. Mean speed is somewhere at ~110km/h (and you're on the slower end in my experience if you

I just have to reply to this to tell you this comment changed my perspective on my own perceived productivity in exactly this context, thank you.

Thermodynamically correct but CO2 making our atmosphere scatter solar radiation internally and increasing total absorption is a much larger effect. I try to imagine it like a fog: all kinds of radiation makes it through to the ground but th

You have to write the message onto the moon, so it needs a lot of infrastructure but the program would be in G-Code.

We already do, we talk into the void on social media (like this post), the oportunity cost is already high. In the future, we'll get the bots talking back from the digital abyss.

They could state "Some of the content in the following paragraph is sponsored by Apple:" and then weave it in. Edit: but still have vital content in the paragraph, like product placement in movies.

Be sure to top it with onions, salt and freshly ground pepper. Edit: It's popular enough for there to be vegan Mett in Germany (also best with thinly sliced onions, salt and pepper) which comes extremely close to the pork version. [0]

Partially, you can have lots of cheap instruments driving/flying/floating around to find something interesting to look at with the fewer expensive shots.

Living on Mars is like living on Earth after a very, very, very protracted global thermonuclear war. You can argue the other way: If we figure out how to live on Mars, global thermonuclear war on Earth is not a big deal anymore, it becomes
