You could call this concept "The Art Gallery of Babel". https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

I think sometimes the difference is only apparent once you get the product.

Also, if it the seller tries to pass the product as being made by a human artist but it's instead AI generated, some form of fraud is being committed: Some buyers care about the provenance of the product, especially in art.

I suppose "regulated activities" refers to things like giving legal, financial or medical advice. That would make sense.

This doesn't pass the "reverse the roles" test. If I create a job fair for everyone and then I actively promote it to men, that would be [rightly] viewed as discriminatory. This is exactly as bad. Discrimination against men is unfair and illegal.

Here's a straight-forward solution: Force airlines to publish the cost of each seat on the airplane. Just don't let them charge a different amount to different passengers depending on where else they are going, whether they are coming back or how late they bought their ticket. I would even disallow frequent-flier programs. If you want your customers to be loyal, give them excellent service.

I am generally in favor of free markets, unless a free market is not working, and in this case it's not working. Airlines play so many shenanigans with prices that it creates a very asymmetric market, where they have all the information and the consumers are thoroughly confused.

I don't want to be a prick, complaining about spelling and punctuation errors, but I honestly can't make out what you are saying.

I have followed Yann LeCun for a long time, and these comments seem out of character. In Machine Learning there is a long history of clever implementations of old ideas propelling the field forward. In this case he sounds a bit like Jurgen Schmidhuber, complaining about a recent success not being innovative and not giving proper credit to people who couldn't get similar ideas to work decades earlier. I hope Yann doesn't slip further in that direction.

The same should apply to every fossil fuel, regardless of its use. Actually, it would be easiest to tax at the extraction point. The market would then push people to decide if we really need things overnight or not. The fact that there is no political will to impose such a tax means that we are doomed to burn every last drop of oil and every last chunk of coal we can cheaply extract.

"Mano" is a feminine noun, so the adjective "duro" doesn't match.

This is nothing like the stock market. The stock market includes the primary market (a.k.a IPOs), which is a mechanism of capital accumulation that allows companies to raise funds to grow; and the secondary market (what you probably think of as "the stock market") where people can transfer ownership of [parts of] businesses. There is a zero-sum game aspect to active trading, but the stock market is clearly useful to the economy.

I'm guessing they mean a 3D torus, which doesn't need to live in any higher-dimensional space, and which doesn't have anything like an axis or anisotropy.

Think of Pac-Man and how leaving the screen on one side lands you at the opposite side. The Pac-Man playing arena is topologically the same as the surface of a donut, and it's called a 2D torus. Note that you don't need anything 3-dimensional to describe the dynamics of Pac-Man.

If you imagine now a cube with the same feature of leaving one side bringing you to the opposite side, that's a 3D torus.

There are a number of other simple ways to get a feel for how big a risk this is. You can compute how much your life expectancy is changed by the possibility of getting one of these blood clots, assuming it would kill you immediately with certainty. My back-of-the-envelope calculation results in about 30 minutes if you are in your 20s, but less if you are older.

You can also think of what would happen if you were to give this to the entire adult US population: You'd get 300 people with blood clots, to be compared with about 1,000 people dying every single day. So if using the vaccine can make us get to herd immunity a few hours earlier, it's totally worth it.

The people issuing this recommendation migth think they are acting with an abundance of caution, but the result is going to be hundreds or thousands of additional deaths.

Two years ago, there was a similar story, with numbers that are very very far away form 10^1100: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscience.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F18%2F04%2F07%2F1856202%2Fdid-harvard-scientists-predict-the-end-of-the-universe

What was wrong with the earlier story? Maybe we can just stop making stuff up?

> Stop fucking calling this AI. It's not AI.

There is a name for this "not AI" comment: The AI effect. Basically, whatever can be done with a machine is automatically considered "not AI", because it's no longer magical, just engineering.

> I cannot think, nor actually be truly creative.

I'm very sorry about your lack of thought and creativity. :)

You don't need a cloud for any of this. Actually 1990s technology does just fine.

At work we do all our development by using ssh to connect to one of a small set of computers where sysadmins maintain the programming environment. We use emacs for editing code, and we compile from the command line. It works great.
