I don't think that's "another meaning" but rather assume their name is a reference. Caturday is a widespread and long standing online meme event (20+ years) to post pictures of cats on saturdays. I have no idea what community it originated in or even when.

I don't think it was ever (past 30 years) particularly secret? The general concept is long (100+ years) established. However pulling it off used to be exorbitantly expensive.

It's a matter of intent, which will ultimately be litigated in court and is going to depend on a lot of surrounding factors.

Where did your quote come from? The comment you're replying to says "specially designed for intelligence purposes". The word "specifically" doesn't appear.

Why are you assuming the primary motivator is to serve ads? Smart TVs were already caught running content ID against the contents of the screen and phoning that data home. "Routing at the edge" is the euphemism for the logical extension of that.

> extra $25-100

Your estimated costs are off by at least one order of magnitude, probably two.

Of course none of this makes much sense in a world where smart TVs have ubiquitous wifi, most consumers have one, most consumers run the stock OS, and most consumers connect it to the public internet. It would be entirely viable if not for that status quo.

Initially I scoffed, but then I recalled that certain RF bands are disproportionately absorbed by water and this is used for certain sorts of atmospheric imaging by satellites. So you'd need a moisture "light" and an RF camera. Other than being cost prohibitive it sounds like an awesome toy.

> Getting the model to break out of that baseline without disrupting the model's ability to follow technical rules, maintain logic and reasoning, etc. is the difficult part.

Sure, that is also somewhat challenging and is necessary to get human sounding prose. However doing so is not sufficient to produce "creative" literature by any reasonable metric.

> you're again saying unsupervised then following up with descriptions that sure sound like you're referring to RL and supervised learning respectively this time.

Are you sure it isn't you who is confused about the usage of those terms? I merely suggested that both preparing and making use of labeled data (ie supervised learning) seemed like it would prove quite difficult here. Quoting from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsupervised_learning):

> Unsupervised learning is a framework in machine learning where, in contrast to supervised learning, algorithms learn patterns exclusively from unlabeled data.

Consider that the R&D cost of the GPU (>>> RAM) must be amortized across total units sold (<<< RAM).

I'd already like to play with the huawei card but everything is so overpriced at present and I don't think they sell those on the consumer market to begin with.

However unless we're taking 3DXpoint which was discontinued flash wears out. But yeah sticking an old optane nvme on a breakout card accomplishes much the same thing.

I did read the the full comment and I did in fact mean exactly what I wrote when I used the term "unsupervised". I think the condescension does nothing but get in the way. Try extending the benefit of the doubt.

> enough to measure creativity a ton of different ways ...

The things you listed seem more like temperature than creativity to me. At this point it occurs to me that this is likely yet another case of highly misleading technical jargon. Suffice to say that truly creative writing requires something entirely different than unusual sentence structure - in fact it doesn't require unusual phrasing at all.

Re unsupervised, it seems the misunderstanding here follows naturally from the previous difference in word meaning. Hopefully you see the difficulty of scoring long form answers for the creativity of the underlying ideas, as well as the impossibility of using a labeled dataset to train on such a criteria.

Does that not refer to a complete and heavy overcast? A uniform gray from one horizon to the other without even a hint of where along its arc the sun might be.

Off topic nit but that's not slang rather it's an example of conflicting technical jargon with an added helping of religious zealotry.

How are you scoring creativity in an unsupervised manner? That seems anything but easy.

I take it you enjoy works of literature with inconsistent world building?

Or do you mean professional as opposed to creative writing? Because the bar is even higher for that.

It's not a straw man that's the natural extrapolation of your earlier logic.

> For the people who genuinely care about this issue, an obvious response you will get is "how many children are you willing to allow to be sex trafficked to preserve your privacy?"

I think you are confusing genuine caring with political radicalization. The behavior you're describing there isn't that of rational supporters but rather inflamed zealots.

Do we believe that? At least relative to the rest of the internet (ie not-big-tech)? Isn't singling out big tech in this manner just a talking point used by the disingenuous actors attempting to foist this on us?

What is even the supposed motivating ill here? What exactly do you mean by the phrasing "exploit children"? That's awfully vague for something we're supposed to be targeting.

> ... at least puts the people you view as the enemy on the defensive ...

It feels like you're ignoring the point you're responding to here. The pattern outlined was one of bad faith, where after each reasonable attempt the process merely repeats itself ad nauseam. So then in effect your suggestion is to follow the same strategy that hasn't worked in the past.

We aren't dealing with a good faith opponent who will back down when an alternative wins out. They will return with the same argument, and it will still hold sway with the same people, because the rate of the crimes in question will almost certainly never reach zero. At some point the political solution must be to attempt to educate those who are being taken advantage of by the bad actor. To refuse further accommodations when the other party is clearly acting under false pretenses.

It also seems like you're neglecting to address the relative expense. Chat control is cheap compared with Wyden's proposal.
