  • The big reason for being a target is the size. Why attack smaller ones with less effect? Like making a virus for anything besides Windows. But maybe the long term benefit is the movement of some to other instances, balancing out the loads.

  • The interesting part of his shows back then wasn't him, but the group that was put together to talk about issues of the time. When he wouldn't butt in with his own thoughts. Terrible host, better hosts spark conversation and let the guests talk.

  • The movie posters that I've seen literally say that in two sentences. Even the song says she's a Barbie girl in a Barbie world.

  • 93% with Firefox and Ghostery behind Windscribe VPN. I've got a few other addons disabled like Decentraleyes and Ublock, but a combination of those with Ghostery didn't do any higher. Pretty sure I disabled them because Ghostery did everything they did. The stuff let in are to make websites like Youtube and Google usable. It's a tradeoff.

  • Judge me by my size, do you? We've got a mother cat who is much smaller than the boys. Guess who rules the house. Sure the big cat would have the advantage, but only if it realizes it has the advantage.

  • I remember a friend dragging me to the arcade to see what he had found there. It was Q-Bert. Now of course it was a wild game, but he said, "no wait, watch this", proceeded to jump off the blocks, and I heard the mechanical clunk at the bottom of the machine. Someone came up with that just for the F of it...brilliant.

  • Some cars you won't notice it because the system works well and once it slowly rises up to operating temp it doesn't move again. Some cars you would because they are designed stupidly different. Like Dodge. I had a mechanic tell me after some research that yes indeed, the cooling fans not kicking on until the needle hit red was by manufacturer's specs.

  • Methanol fires in racing are scary. No flame, no smoke, just burning you.

  • I wonder how Firefox's new reader toggle would handle this. It basically strips things down to the core textual content of the page.

  • That the first season/part of first season was awkward qualified it as part of the Star Trek tradition, they all stumbled around to figure out what they were doing at first. I would say that it is Star Trek just as much as Galaxy Quest is a Star Trek movie, and perhaps that's the issue with some not liking it fully...it's a parody/alternate take of the idea carried out a bit too long, whereas Galaxy Quest was the perfect amount.

    As a Star Trek fan since the 70s, I can say that all versions have their highs and lows, there isn't a perfect one. And from the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations), this is how it should be. The more the better, even some of Discovery. I think the idea of Discovery was great, it just wasn't implemented well, but again, I could point out other Star Trek that shared that.

  • Even if you disagree with her leanings, just listening to the depth of stuff she talks about particularly at congressional hearings should suggest she's doing more than a lot of the others who talk fluff and waste everyone's time.

  • I know it opens doors we probably shouldn't, but I'd have trouble declining a memory assistance implant.

  • Re-reclaimed swampland. Not just in Florida.

  • Me either. You're as old as you let yourself be.

  • Some do, some don't. Some ceramics get hot enough to crack, while others don't heat at all. It depends on the material the container is made of.

  • It changes so much so fast. For a video source to grasp the latest stuff I'd recommend the Youtube channel "AI Explained".

  • True, and then because it's a black box there wouldn't be a known issue at all. Or maybe it would be much less of an issue because the words might have blended others into the mix, and his style wouldn't be as obvious in the outputs, and/or it would be easier to dismiss. Did the training involve actual input of his name, or was that pulled from the source trained on? How much control was in the training?

  • I totally agree with you on protecting the basics of creativity and growth. I think the core issue is using "imitate" here. Is that what the LLM is doing, or is that an anthropomorphism of some sense that there's intelligence guiding the process? I know it seems like I'm nitpicking things to further my point, but the fact that this is an issue to many even outside artwork says there is a question here of what is and isn't okay.

  • In the context of LLMs, I think that means giving them access to their own outputs in some way.

    That's what the AUTOGPTs do (as well as others, there's so many now) they pick apart the task into smaller things and feed the results back in, building up a final result, and that works a lot better than just a one time mass input. The biggest advantage and main reason for these being developed was to keep the LLM on course without deviation.

  • And yet the artist's name is used to push the weights towards pictures in their style. I don't know what the correct semantics are for it, nor the legalities. That's part of the problem, the tech is ahead of our laws, as is usually the case.
