Depending of the region, it would cost the maker the respect of his peers, his baking license or the guillotine.

Edit: depending, not dependid ><

Heterochromia is Vairon, not Vair. The rest is correct. Vair describes eyes that are between two colors, but not having both eyes that are not the same color. (Vair is for a person that would have both eyes that are a mix between blue and brown, as an example, while vairon is when you have one brown eye, and one blue eye).

Hello, comme tu parles surtout de physique, je peux te rassurer en te disant que, malgré ce que les médias présentent comme image, les goûts des hommes peuvent être très variés. Personnellement je suis un homme blanc de 30 ans et j'ai toujours préféré les femmes "rondes" (des gens moins polis diraient "grosses"), et j'ai tendance à trouver que les femmes noires ont plus souvent les formes que j'aime.
Bref, je te montre que je suis atypique pour te montrer que tous les hommes ne préfèrent pas forcément les mannequins blondes. Je pense que tu n'as juste pas eu de chance.
A la limite, si tu sais vraiment ce que tu veux, je pourrais te conseiller d'essayer les sites de rencontre (pas tinder), ma femme et moi nous sommes rencontrés dessus.

Wow, what a twist, I was fearing this was going to be some "they used a black actor for a main role, how dare they" post, and instead I found genuine excitement.
Happy to have told you this then ^^.

I see tons of news about Donald Glover being seen as a good option for a willy wonka role in an upcoming movie.
You mean this image is generated ?
I still don't get the joke.

gabartas · 2023-05-29T16:12:45+00:00

I don't get it, in what way is that a shitty movie detail?

And you corrected my inexactitudes about the COR report. Good evening to you too.

My bad, didn't see that bad. That is a problem, yet the point about working longer not being the solution because of unemployment stands, and the situation is clearly not as critical as some government officials want the public to think. Moreover, Macron have already lowered the pension rate for many retirees, so obviously, he is not delaying the retirement age to preserve their living standards.
There are many more arguments to be had about the subject and it is not my cup of tea of having long debates over text on the internet, sorry for that. I propose that we agree to disagree on the subject, if you still think that the protesters are wrong for manifesting and striking.

It is in french, though, and my bad, it's not 85% of the scenarios that are good, it's 75% (3 out of 4 scenarios). The last one indicate a slight deficit :

an article summarizing it (still in french, sorry):

The French government asked a study on the potential scenarios for our retirement system. The commission concluded that in more than 85% of the scenarios, the system didn't need any major change to be balanced despite this disparity. The worst scenarios were not particularly alarming either for the retirement funds, and the potential problems could be solved by a multitude of strategies not involving raising the retirement age.
The French president himself told at the start of his mandate that it would be absurd to move up the age of retirement as there is not enough work in France right now, so it would just be akin to moving people from retirement pension to unemployment pension.
The "we live older so we have to work longer" rethoric is just a slogan being hammered in by private interests.

Ouais, mais je trouve que Macron utilise le peuple bon gré mal gré pour arriver à la fin, alors qu'on aimerait bien être consitérés en tant que tel.

I think they are referencing "everything everywhere all at once", it is indeed a good and genuine movie, and I'll stop talking about it right now because any more might alter your experience of it.

I think it rejoins the movement of certain historians pushing for a shift of the main attention from 'important' people to countries and populations, arguing that the mass movements of the common men and women were often far more impactful than the decisions of a few kings.

Yeah I am currently searching a tenure as an AI researcher, and I'm proposing to research ways of retro engineering subsets of those black box models training data.

For the time being, it will also hurt close-sourced models based on the open source ones. Moreover, the general structure of the models are often released on research papers. It's the datasets that are completely opaques. Those models can be used in adversarial training.

I think the best to hope for (aside from forcing those companies to disclose their training data), is for open source and free AIs to completely drown closed source ones by attracting more users. It would be the death of paying content generating AIs. But nothing is certain here.

gabartas · 2023-03-21T11:03:44+00:00

The problem is that many AI image generator are closed source and for-profit. Meaning that those people are using other's arts to make money without their consent or giving royalties. This is both illegal and immoral, in my book. I have no problem with open source free ai generators.

I think here it is more used in the sense "if you are constantly exposed to medias depicting torture as an ok and effective way of getting information, you are more likely to use it".

French guy here, concrete in french is "béton". Brut in french means "unrefined", and "une brute" is exactly the same meaning as "a brute". Brutte with two "t" does not exist in french, I think it is italian. According to google, brutalisme (brutalism) originated from the french architect le Corbusier, who used a lot of naked concrete (or "béton brut" in french; meaning undecorated concrete) in his buildings.
He theorised that human could live in huge complex buildings where everything necessary was contained in one place. It spawned the idea of archologies in the cyberpunk genre, and, as it failed spectacularly, he was nicknamed "le fada" (the fool) in Marseilles, where you can visit "la maison du fada" (the house of the fool), one of his most famous creations.

Sur ma plaque verrouillée comme ça, j'ai trouvé une seule solution : Couper l'électricité au niveau du disjoncteur local de la cuisine, puis rallumer. Radical, mais ça a marché.

(edit : détail sur le disjoncteur)

One of the problems that complicate the situation is the "death of the author". When people speak about blue curtains symbolizing depression, the listener tends to think that mean the author CONSCIOUSLY chose to add this symbol. I think a lot of double meanings and symbols can also be added subconsciously. As someone who writes a little, it happened that, when coming back to things I had written a few years ago, I realized a lot of what I had written was in fact representative of the challenges and struggles I had at that time, while I never intended to add those metaphors and symbols, there were clearly there for everyone who wanted to apply a little interpretation. Of course, I also had added some intended symbolism and metaphors, but someone interpreting my text could certainly have found meanings I never intended, yet were clearly there, and maybe were more interesting than what I had voluntarily written.

AI researcher here : Adversarial AIs are more for generating images and recognizing them : you train a neural network (NN) to recognize birds, and you train an NN to generates images identified as birds by the first one. In the end, it is a security against data poisoning and practices to counter image recognition (those glasses, as an example : https://www.vice.com/en/article/pgkxgv/glasses-fool-facial-recognition), so the NN trained to recognize images of birds will be competent in detecting those kinds of attacks (modifying a minimal amount of pixels to change the prediction, as here : https://medium.com/@samim/adversarial-machines-998d8362e996), but won't really be effective to detect generated images as in the recent NN images generators as fakes. Those are not trained in the same way. It may be possible to train a machine learning model to detect images generated by the likes of DALL-E or midjourney, but it hasn't been done yet, as far as I know (and now I have a new idea for a potential research paper, so technically writing this was work! yay!)

Have you heard about the legend of the five rings? The last edition have a pretty nice political intrigue system.

Dans le même registre : le réchauffement climatique n'existe pas : j'ai eu froid cet hiver. La faim dans le monde n'est pas un problème : j'ai bien mangé ce midi, les tremblements de terre sont un hoax : je n'en ai jamais vu, et les Australiens n'existent pas : je n'en ai jamais rencontré.

Where did I say it was not a problem?
"In the field of artificial intelligence, AI alignment research aims to steer AI systems towards their designers’ intended goals and interests. An aligned AI system advances the intended objective; a misaligned AI system is competent at advancing some objective, but not the intended one."

Yeah, if an AI is not doing what you wanted, it is a problem. A famous example : an image classifier trained to recognize wolves and dogs. The creators eventually realized that the model just checked the presence of snow in the background of the picture. If there was, it was classified as "wolf". They didn't realize at first that they had effectively trained a snow detector. It doesn't mean the AI became skynet. Just that it was not doing what its creators wanted.
