your honor, the user prompted the computer to unzip the archive, which was a statistical representation of the entire training folder.
any owner of a specific file within the zip has no claim against us, but only the user who opened it

“OpenAI argued its AI models didn’t store/copy specific training data but, rather, reflected what they learned based on the entire training data set. Since the output was generated as a result of user inputs (prompts), it wasn’t the defendants, but the respective user who would be liable for it.”

Bluesky compression is so bad.. something in the re-encoding process is cranking up the color saturation.
We have officially entered epic morning twilight season.

YouTube's been real slow lately on the encoding side. Tried to yank some music out of a video after posting it and the processing spun for like four days. Now today's archive says it's going to take hours to get up.

With all the ongoing issues here on Bluesky I've made the decision to switch platforms. If you want to follow me on Mastadon, just hit up the 90F70 server, subsector 23sd32.g, quadrant 3 (-0 rotation), using auth key "grto-rklc-wiem" filtered through inverted Base 17 encoding… (🧵 1/7)

4/4 We showed that a negative coupling between Hb and VTA when encoding NPE, which is associated with a negative learning bias. These interactions, in turn, could affect downstream NAcc responses to NPE. Structural equation modeling suggested that Hb drives activities in this network encoding NPE.

Oh, I see in your bio that you won’t agree with me, but I’ll just reiterate for others:
LLMs have a lossy “knowledge map” encoded that they draw from to produce a response. This map is sometimes incorrect, or sometimes lost too much in the encoding, or the model can sometimes use it incorrectly.

almost all video encoding using chroma subsampling, where instead of RGB it stores luminance in one channel and color in two channels, and the color channels are stored at half resolution
so, a 1px checkerboard pattern of red/blue pixels will be visible to the viewer but downsampled away in a video

Finally, inspired by theories of shared mechanisms between comprehension and production we tested encoding models trained on comprehension data on production (and vice versa) and found that they successfully generalized, preserving rank order and suggesting a shared neural code.

For playing and streaming that cpu is a bit too old to do the same job at the same time. Only solution I can think of is for getting another processor to work alongside it such as Egato 4K capture PCI Express card to take the load off both CPU and GPU and let that handle streaming codec encoding

Something about the gloomy skies put me in the mood for Wheels of Fire this morning. This is the old WG Polydor disc, processed in Audacity to remove the awful CSG encoding and align the channels. The difference is incredible, especially on headphones.
