When
- the expected return becomes negative, or
- the risk/return ratio moves away from the efficient frontier with no other motivating factor.
When
Other than the fediverse support, are there any other differences from last year?
Every screw colony has a queen screw.
The most successful applications (e.g. translation, medical image processing) aren’t marketed as “AI”. That term seems to be mostly used for more controversial applications, when companies want to distance themselves from the potential output by pretending that their software tools have independent agency.
Agreed—and to be clear, I’m not advocating for self-driving lanes. But I think one of the potential motivations for the creation of such lanes is that human drivers would feel more comfortable if they weren’t sharing lanes with self-driving cars, just like they feel more comfortable not sharing lanes with buses. And by the same token, bus drivers and self-driving cars aren’t going to want to share lanes with each other, so there would be pressure to have different lanes for each type of traffic.
The difference with buses is that they’re less safe (or at least less able to avoid collisions) at high speed than cars are. So the purpose of bus lanes isn’t to increase the maximum speed of buses, but to increase their minimum speed during congestion.
If self-driving cars got to the point where they were significantly safer than human drivers (a big if), I could see the creation of dedicated self-driving lanes with higher speed limits.
What if the judge loses the libel case? The defendant could then argue the “unfounded” libel charge was symptomatic of a preexisting bias.
I’m guessing that could give the defendant ground to appeal the original ruling because the judge was biased by the alleged libel.
Does it need to be accessible via API (e.g. SQL) or just a spreadsheet-style web interface?
The Republican candidate didn’t have a medical degree? I’d have thought that was a requirement for coroner.
In the long run, humans whose biologies most closely resemble rats will have better medical outcomes and therefore greater evolutionary fitness.
What about the usage demographics within each country?
In underdeveloped/exploited countries, internet usage is more likely to be concentrated among the economic elites who formerly benefited from colonialism—so if increasing adoption in those countries just follows the pattern of other internet use, it could have the opposite effect from the one intended.
It’s a vegetative feeding frenzy.
I think they’re terms men often apply to whichever figure in the household represents the greatest constraint on their actions (or the person to whom they most defer).
If they’re married, that’s their spouse, but if they’re living with their parents in a traditional male-dominated household, it’s their father.
Compression algorithms can reduce most written text to about 20–25% of its original size—implying that that’s the amount of actual unique information it contains, while the rest is predictable filler.
Empirical studies have found that chimps and human infants, when looking at test patterns, will ignore patterns that are too predictable or too unpredictable—with the sweet spot for maximizing attention being patterns that are about 80% predictable.
AI researchers have found that generating new text by predicting the most likely continuation of the given input results in text that sounds monotonous and obviously robotic. Through trial and error, they found that, instead of choosing the most likely result, choosing one with around an 80% likelihood threshold produces results judged most interesting and human-like.
The point being: AI has stumbled on a method of mimicking the presence of meaning by imitating the ratio of novelty to predictability that characterizes real human thought. But we know that the actual content of that novelty is randomly chosen, rather than being a deliberate message.
Wiktionary runs on MediaWiki—does that have the sort of functionality you need?
You can use any port for SSH—or you can use something like Cockpit with a browser-based terminal instead of SSH.
Also, throwing in occasional free stuff makes it harder for customers to comparison shop: they’ll assume the free items balance out higher costs on other items without actually doing the math. (It also exploits the sunk cost fallacy.)
Yes, but in the meantime you no longer have a vehicle to get from the car dealer to the bike shop.
