Why is it that nobody discusses uploading all the company's IP to service providers that built their service by 'creatively interpreting' IP ownership?
Acting in public is hyperlocal - your behaviour affects those around you and gives those affected right of reply, if they have the courage to take it.
Publishing your actions on the Internet is a little different. If people were affected by the action, they are affected (likely unknowingly) by the publication too - and the audience that you grant right of reply has at best an ideological horse in the race, not true skin in the game. And not much courage is required to engage with an opposing position.
So "living publicly" on the internet leaves a permanent door open to ideological conflict, mob behaviour, and creates a disconnect between action and reaction - in both time and space.
Kinda alien for a monkey brain to wrap banana powered neurons around.
It's the heat map of the error surface of the equation... Fairly well understood as a concept in the land of optimization and gradient descent.
Interesting, what's being visualized there is actually a failure mode for an unidentifiable equation - the valley where the error is zero and therefore all solutions are acceptable. Introduce noise into the measurements of error and that valley being too flat causes odd behaviour
I just find nothing palatable about the crispy edge. If it happens when I cook an egg I cut it off. It has no flavor beyond the oil it was cooked in and all the mouthfeel of an orange peel left in the sun for three weeks.
If a parrot squawks, "1,345 multiplied by 785 equals 1,055,825", you would be logically and factually incorrect to say 'Well, that's wrong because how would a bird know".
The historical meaning of the word 'hominem' isn't crucial to the universal logical principle of 'ad hominem'. If xenoorganisms beneath the ice-sheets of Titan are dismissing each other's ideas out of hand, they too may be committing this fallacy. The fallacy is the rejection of an argument based on its source rather than its content.
Another way to look at it is by analogy. You pick up a cup, the cup warms your hand uncomfortably, so you put it down.
You and the cup are objects, and physically send messages as you interact. That leads to changes in the physical world as each actor decides what to do with the incoming information, by physics or by conscious action.
So far so good. Except software is just information, and so the software version of that interaction includes the "person put hot cup down on table" event. That interests somebody, so they rapidly express their displeasure and rush to put a coaster underneath...
And that is valid a model of computing. Direct messaging between interacting objects, a stream of events of the produced changes, and actors that consume that stream for things and optionally chose to initiate a new interaction
Is this motivated reasoning from the perspective of an OS vendor? It seems like intermediating the user's intent using AI has the same hazards as intermediating the internet through a single search provider... i.e. it'll happen, but will tend towards benefiting larger interests, leaving the experience a little less rich than before.
