Why is it that when regular people pirate something, they immediately get a notification from the isp, threatening legal action, but when Nvidia pirates something en masse, it’s called groundbreaking innovation
En masse. Nothing Catholic about this.
TIL, thanks for the correction
Because Nvidia has an army of lawyers and a mountain of cash, duh
I mean, Nvidia is being sued by rightsholders in a class action lawsuit.
Good.
I only bring it up to make the point that not everybody is calling what Nvidia is doing ‘groundbreaking innovation’.
It’s “funny” how, when the lawsuit comes out, they stop grifting about “AI” and start talking about statistics.
Technically they are correct. AI is nothing more than a ML, which is nothing more than complex statistics. Still, NVIDIA should be held accountable.
Accountable for doing statistical analysis?
my pirated movies just become neuronal correlations in my brain too!
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare.
I wonder how many monkeys NVIDIA has? /s
Monkeys are old hat. I much prefer to calculate pi in binary and then dump the result into a bitmap, then scroll through it infinitely. Eventually I’ll learn everyone’s secrets…
I vaguely remember reading about a way of writing down prime numbers that ended up in a pattern that could be translated into some kind of image. Math is awesome.
Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.
Can you link to what you’re talking about?
Unfortunately I cannot find this article about patterns in prime numbers. I remember it was pretty technical but apart from the general idea I’m not able to provide anymore details.
Thanks for looking
The only thing I can think of is the sieve of Eratothenes, but geometric representations aren’t typical, and they aren’t that pretty of a picture. For the ones I’ve seen, anyway.
