I think its well corrected by the increase in competition that meets or exceeds the quality. The house may have gotten nicer but now you are selling a single room
There were experiments that zipped music pieces, I think, and then classified the compressed files by similarity. They got rather interesting resuls. But I do not remember much details. It was, I believe, about 20 years ago.
That sounds like a really cool project, I will def give it a look.
I still think this has much more to do with the structure of language than the abstract conception I have of intelligence, and I would be interested in having conversation w/ someone for whom the opposite is true.
bzip is not very intelligent, true, but it does develop some model of its input. It's not like there's a linear relationship between between compression ratio and IQ or anything.
I'm not arguing that compression algorithms don't produce models of their inputs, some even use neural nets or other stochastic predictors with correction terms etc.
This doesn't address the only part I really commented on, which is the connection between intelligence and compression.
There was a startup called WUPHF that used some telecom wizardry to multicast messages between providers given a single identifier, I'm not sure what happened to it...
Honestly a lot of the complaints about migration feel to me like the result of poor management of actions etc. If your CI etc is so inextricably tied to github you were never doing it correctly
We want to find the largest number in the f function.
First, we set the formula for max = f(x) + 1.
Next, we put x in the second term of the formula.
Then, we put 1 in the first term.
So, we multiply the first term by 1: f(1) = f(x + 1).
Answer: f(x+1)
100% agree. Especially since you wouldn't have to start taking his word for the things he explicitly lays out in this article, that previously were checkable at no additional cost to any party
Art consists of decisions made by the artist that are interpretable by the audience. Automatically generated imagery lacks this, but still presents a fascimille of it. The intention and thoughtfulness of the artist is encoded within their creation, and when there is no artist this is lost.
