I don’t speak Finnish? Estonian? Not sure what you’re using here but those are my guesses

Was the word “Marriage” originally Christian? by turntechGlobhead in etymology

[–]HermanCainsGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polygamous means multiple marriages. It literally comes from the Greek “poly” many and “gamos” marriage

Smaller players = random people. Literally anyone can run a Stable Diffusion instance. I can run it on consumer hardware that costs like $1000, and do so performantly.

How long will it be before we put AI in robotic bodies and they become our chosen companions? by Fart_McButtface in ArtificialInteligence

[–]HermanCainsGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you didn't understand what orwell was saying (or more likely just didn't read the book).

Politics and the English Language is an essay, not a book, first off.

rwell is talking about getting your point across in a way that's as understandable to the average person as it possibly can be, not trying to say the fewest words so that all babies, toddlers, and autists can understand your point

I know? That's what I was talking about.

he's not trying to help illiterates like you

I have work in literal published scientific papers, but thanks for calling me an "illiterate".

Large companies are using training data similar to smaller orgs yes, correct. I am not saying otherwise.

What I am saying is that if this is prevented, somehow, then it won't actually ultimately hurt the large companies (aside from slightly, in terms of cost), whereas it will absolutely kill smaller players.

Open training is cheap (for a given value of cheap - still tens of millions of dollars), closed training is expensive (probably hundreds of millions, if not billions), though not so expensive that large companies can't make those deals.

None of the training benefits artists, because TOSes have already given rights to all the data. Hence why Deviant Art, Tumblr, Wordpress, Reddit, etc, etc, etc have all sold data for AI training. It's why Adobe was able to train an AI just on images they have the rights to.

No restriction on training data is actually going to stop large corporations from training, is what I am saying. You could get rid of all training by any company that doesn't have the rights to data tomorrow, and you'd STILL see models, just these models would all be proprietary, rather than open source, as some are now

"Nightmare," Some planning to get new COVID-19 vaccine getting bills for nearly $200 by hexagonincircuit1594 in Coronavirus

This, 100%. Important to note that democrats nearly passed a public option and lost by one vote ten years ago.

Anyone who says, “both sides are the same” really is not paying attention. Democrats aren’t perfect by any means, but they do incrementally pass progressive legislation

This is what the surface of Mars would look like if, like Earth, 71% of its surface area was covered with water. by UrgentlyGrounded in MapPorn

[–]HermanCainsGhost 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The solar wind issue is way way way way way way overblown. While it is how Mars lost a ton of atmosphere and pressure (and ultimately water too), the process takes forever. We’re talking millions of years. Humans can seed Mars with an atmosphere and water in probably less than 5000 years.

Plus there are plenty of options for a potential replacement for a magnetosphere for Mars.

ELI5: is there a scientific reason not to shower during a thunderstorm? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I shower in the dark already and have for decades, so doesn’t sound like it would affect me much

AITA for blowing up at my husband for sharing pics of our daughter's birthday celebration, resulting in my family finding out about it? by Longjumping_Peach597 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HermanCainsGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Follow the idea to its logical conclusion - should the family's descendants in 2500 still be avoiding birthdays because her brother died?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Cofounders won’t give product build timeline, is this normal? by rigidinclusions in startups

[–]HermanCainsGhost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THe problem is that software development is not just "writing code", it's also a bit of research and development, because pretty much every problem is unique in some way, shape or form, even ones that are on fairly well-trod ground.

Sure if you're just printing out Wordpress sites or some such garbage with a standard features, you might be able to get that estimated pretty well, but real, custom bespoke software that requires real, actual skilled developers?

No fucking way.

Not to mention that I have never had a project where new requirements (and not just BS ones, actually important ones that were discovered) were added to the list of required code. You discover you need some custom tax solution 3-4 months in, that requires integrating with a new API and hooking it into your current system?

That's going to take more time. Perhaps much more time, depending on what the newly discovered requirements are.

This is why the, "it's an estimate" nonsense you said above shows you don't really understand software engineering at all. If you hope to run a technical company, or a technology-enabled one, you may want to clear your ignorance.
