It might be a bad idea to put that in all caps, because in the training data, angry conversations are less productive. (I do the same thing, just in lowercase.)
As a consequentialist who shares the author's concerns, I feel fine (ethically) using AI without advancing it. Foregoing opportunities meaningful to yourself for deontological reasons when it won't have any impact on society is pointless.
One of Dutch artist M.C. Escher's works is a man is admiring a piece of art that itself depicts the building the (very same) man is in [0]. Escher left out the middle bit of the painting, probably since it's fairly complicated, putting his signature there instead. The video itself is about the complex analysis used to fill in that missing middle, based on a paper ~20 years ago.
I think the gap also has a compositional purpose: the viewer's eye is meant to travel around the image in a circle, and the gap helps anchor that in a way that the filled-in version might not.
The whole point is the explanation... it's a bit like someone telling you to take a 2 week holidays somewhere and you'd just say: it's too long, can't someone just get me a plane ticket there and back the same day so I can compress the stay?
The punchline is that you can fill in the centre of Escher's piece by using complex analysis, and it produces a very satisfying, "obviously correct", solution.
But, as with all jokes, the punchline isn't funny at all without the setup.
Well, maybe, but that seems like a deliberately uncharitable interpretation of the question, which I interpreted more as "Can you summarize the video in ~1 line?" - or at least closer to that than "Can you give me the answer the video comes to without specifying the question it asks?"
Even in those terms the answer given isn't really an answer because it just gives an expression with undefined variables.
The image is essentially a self-similar 'droste-effect' image in disguise. The warping of that image shifts that self- similarity into a visual loop, but the warped image still has a droste-style self-similarity in the center as well.
Obscurity indeed. This morning shortly after I woke up I read your message and could only think that you were referring to Awk somehow. That didn’t make much sense to me. Now, hours later and after finally eating something, it does make sense! You really do have to have your faculties about you.
Yes, without a good experiment (maybe a natural one [1]) we can't know. Even if the study controls for everything observable, there may be unobserved differences that lead to the caffeination difference. For instance, even though two people might have the same job, education, etc. the one who is more ambitious, or creative, or hopeful, or simply healthy enough to feel like working more, might drink more coffee.
I was trying to articulate to myself why calling it champagne feels like self-deception. And the reason is that to a SE all software is broken, buggy, slow, incomplete, has the wrong feature set, and is not extensible. To us software gets shipped when it stops giving us cold sweats.
For a PM to assume that the product ever becomes champagne feels very naive.
I think it's sort of the opposite. You're saying that your dog food is of such high quality that even the CEO will eat a can of it. You're saying you hold your product in high esteem, not that you have low self esteem.
It is a valueable learning experience. Especially if you are naiv enough like me, to actually give police a call after someone threatened you with death. Pretty sobering when the guy on the other end of the line just flips you off with "And what do you think are we supposed to do about it now?" Thats when you learn that some of your problems are pretty much imagined :-) and that there is a difference beween TV and real life...
What do you mean? The claim was that prediction markets are the worst thing on the internet and I mentioned some things that are worse. What else is there to explain?
"May be able" refers to collect, which is entirely up to the app. It does have access to password as you write them with it. It doesn't know what you're writing and it MAY collect. But it's not clear if it does collect.
But does it have network access, or access to other apps (perhaps via shared storage)? There's no reason for it to have any of that, and there exist systems for tracking whether an app can do those things.
