Yeah, and people sewed clothes per hand for hundreds of years until someone automated it with a machine.

You need to save labor somewhere to free it up for other jobs that give you technological progress. If everyone would still be occupied plowing fields with oxen, we wouldn’t have cars and computers now.


Shouldn't you multiply instead of summing the scores?

Would you show a result with 3 really high scores and one which is really low?


I use LLMs for ranking and at least for my applications geomean has given me decent scores when the rubric has multiple axes. Raw scores tend to be noisy so either way it helps to take the rough scores and refine by reranking in chunks.

There are a bunch of things that could be tried honestly. Like geometric mean, top-N, or even fitting another classifier on the training set.

Although a fixed robotic arm in a factory could also be considered a robot, I think.

Then my Desktop PC is a Robot too... It needs to be versatile in it's actual physical function, not how the individual components can also be used.

I wasn’t so much claiming it was a robot only that it was general purpose computer. Definitely a kin to a drone. Is a drone a robot?

If you take into account the auto-eject of the CD-ROM tray, a PC counts: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/ITAPPMONROBOT

How are you generating the frames? Is there a chance you’re looking trough the frames at regular intervals and have to actually “render” the video (I don’t know the proper term for this)? Did you try just extracting the keyframes where an actual full image is stored in the video file instead?

Could they label that as investing in such a report? Sounds misleading. Investing to me means paying for something you then own afterwards, paying for AI sounds like a normal expense.

Presumably on average over a year.

1.2kw is power, not energy (which would be kWh).


`w` is nothing but an ancient Unix command.

The unit you want is spelled “kW”. There really is a difference, especially when you’re inconsistently correcting someone else.


This discussion doesn’t make sense without looking at the actual French law. Just saying that the scans shouldn’t count as a document because it would lead to weird edge cases doesn’t mean the law shouldn’t be applied as written. You can’t just not apply active laws because you don’t like the outcome in a state where people are suppose to trust the law.

Can you walk through the process for the proposed example?

The problem in most suites is checking if a specific act in real life meets some definition of a crime and not figuring out the wording of the law, right?

You kill someone without a reasonable excuse -> You get punished x years for murder

wouldn't really make murder trials easier because you would still have to formalize what you put into the proof.


Yeah, it would probably be legal to take a picture in the museum and make merchandise, but the museum isn't going to actively help you by giving you a scan.

Well, that's the crux of the issue, isn't it? The museum has possession of the scans, but do they - should they - own them? Or are they resources that the public has a right to access?

Are you saying the scans are public domain? I thought it was about the picture or sculpture itself.

I don’t think every work done by a state controlled entity is automatically public domain, right?


If the scans were enabled by public funding, the public should have a right to access them, short of extenuating circumstances, like security concerns with the military (but that shouldn't be the default; it should be something they have to justify).
