It’s irrelevant because it wasn’t a precursor technique. The precursor was machine learning research, not other image generation technology


Creating abstract art by moving pixels around is not anywhere close to what we mean by image generation. At no point did this other software generate something from a prompt


Image gen did not exist in any way shape or form before. Now we’re getting video gen like a few years later.

Let’s not forget we started by playing the game of Go better. My prediction as a hobby Go programmer (the game, not language) in 2015 would be that better than human AIs would be there by 2020 and they got there by 2016.

Before the AlphaGo match with Lee Sedol people predicted the AI would just put up a decent fight since a previous version played questionably against a weaker player. It blew one of the best players ever out of the water, losing only one game of the series.

Future matches even against the world #1 with the better models showed it to be invincible against humans

You’re making the same mistake. You’re looking at the current capabilities and predicting a human speed of improvement. AI is improving faster.


the mitigations just have bugs, and bugs can be fixed

I’m not convinced it won’t be a thing of the past after some time


It means that if quantum technology improves, the same technique can break higher bit integers. So it’s in fact broken, we just don’t have the future hardware to execute it on yet.


The issue is they can install spyware after selling their company and if you have automatic updates you’ll get that too



You already have to fork the chromium project to make Brave and degoogled chromium


You can support V3 without limiting the number of filters! The limit is arbitrarily chosen to block fewer ads


Is it, though? A lot of self-taught programmers do great work. I’m not sure this is true


No, because it either runs the program successfully, or it fails to launch. I don’t mess with the protocol. It runs as root because it needs to set the iptables when turned on to be a “global” proxy


Yes, but people with master’s degrees also fuck this up, so it’s not like some accreditation system will solve the issue of people making mistakes


I have to actually modify the code to properly package it for my distro, so it’s engineering because I have to make decisions for how things work



Look, nothing will blow up if I mess up my proxy setup on my machine. I just won’t have internet until I revert my change. Why would that be different if I were getting paid for it?


I have a 280hz monitor and it doesn’t look smooth in motion


Not really? Modern hardware gets almost 1000 fps in rocket league. You don’t need exactly 1000 to get a benefit, even getting 800 fps will give you a smoother experience


Why, you drive a cab for a living so when you get directions you know exactly how to get there from memory?


Yes, but it’s basically placebo if your headphone cable is of a normal length


It’s not so hard, you just run it in your own VPS, open the ports and go

I use a proxy and route all of the packets except DNS through it using iptables






You have the cause and effect switched. More intelligent parents have higher incomes, their kids also are more likely to have higher intelligence because it’s heritable. So if a bunch of rich Jews live in a Manhattan, does it mean that IQ is predicting their zip code? Or is it predicting they are Jewish? That’s just a weird way of thinking about it.

Your definition of intelligence is not that is commonly thought of intelligence. It’s like saying “intelligence is your maximum chess skill measured by elo and you will never achieve it”

But learning to play chess quickly would also fall under intelligence. Given not being a high level at a similar game, there will be people who learn quicker than others. Learning languages, learning from your experience, all fall under intelligence.

If you take all of these measures, average them, you will get a true intelligence measurement. IQ is a sample of true intelligence by using only some measurements, since intelligence can have an infinite amount of tasks that it can be used to perform


I never said it’s the cause. We’re trying to find a measure that correlates well with actual intelligence g

IQ correlates with g, but also income/education correlates with g because smarter people do better in these metrics.

IQ doesn’t make you smarter, but smarter people can do better on IQ tests


The fact you went out of your way to write it’s when I wrote the correct “its” tells me everything I need to know about your educational achievement


IQ is objectively a good measure of human intelligence. High IQ people have higher educational achievement, income, etc.


Yet it can outperform humans on some tests involving logic. It will never be perfect, but that implies you can test its IQ


Yes, use a proxy. Usually 443 is not blocked either, so an SSL encrypted solution is hard to block
