ah I get what you’re saying., thanks! “Good” means that what the machine outputs should be statistically similar (based on comparing billions of parameters) to the provided training data, so if the training data gradually gains more examples of e.g. noses being attached to the wrong side of the head, the model also grows more likely to generate similar output.
I only have a limited and basic understanding of Machine Learning, but doesn’t training models basically work like: “you, machine, spit out several versions of stuff and I, programmer, give you a way of evaluating how ‘good’ they are, so over time you ‘learn’ to generate better stuff”? Theoretically giving a newer model the output of a previous one should improve on the result, if the new model has a way of evaluating “improved”.
If I feed a ML model with pictures of eldritch beings and tell them that “this is what a human face looks like” I don’t think it’s surprising that quality deteriorates. What am I missing?
I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance… Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!
Agree, it definitely rocks!
You’re in a situation you don’t deserve, but you are trying not to make it worse for your mom. I think you rock!
I don’t want to get too deep into your business but just to understand better what you’re trying to communicate… Please tell me if I get this right: there’s current (not past) drama in your family and you think that not acknowledging father’s day at all would feed into that drama (maybe your dad’s reaction would be “see, you’re all against me” and he’d play the victim or something like that) . On the other hand you also don’t want to pretend everything is right with your father. So you want something to communicate “I don’t want to be against you, but I certainly am not on your side either; I just want to be left alone and talk to you the strictly necessary amount of times”. Is that it?
If that’s the case, yes, the standard-est, humorless “happy father’s day” card you can find, with nothing but your signature in it should convey that message pretty well. If you can’t find anything, just a white one with a handwritten “happy father’s day, [your name]” would do.
We found very ancient human viruses! To the lab! Gotta see if we can use them to infect modern humans…
I know that research is generally for good, but why is it so hard to tell if a quote is from an actual researcher or a comics super-villain?
The medical field is ripe for some intrusive ads to boost revenues! Possibilities are endless:
Ad-supported hearing aids (“this conversation will resume after a quick message from our sponsors!”)
Pacemakers - want to watch an ad for 100 more free heartbeats?
Surgery - this will leave a visible scar, but how about we make the cut look like the Amazon logo ?
Implants - click the nipple and watch an ad to re-inflate the left breast for 10 more days
there’s an old joke about this:
man goes to doctor saying “I keep farting, doc; my farts aren’t smelly and luckily they are also silent but I am worried because I fart all day long. Even now, as I was talking to you, I kept farting the whole time”.
“I see”, says the doctor. “I will prescribe you this pill, to be taken twice a day for a week”.
“And will that help with the farting?”
“No, but it should help you with your sense of smell. Then come to see me after one week and we’ll try to fix your hearing”
It is about fragility, like others said, but It is also about uniqueness, in the sense of “oh, so you think you’re soo special!”
