was considering this recently and came across something interesting. This photo studio in berlin charges different prices depending on where you plan to use it. Also curious whether that is common practice?
35 euro:
for private use in applications, social networks eg Xing, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram etc.
80 euro:
You acquire the full rights of use to use your portrait commercially eg for websites, brochures, business cards, publications in books or magazines, all without time and space restriction.
I've seen that too from some studios. Legally the photog is the copyright owner (they created the work), and you're purchasing a license from them, and I suppose in this case there are 2 levels of licenses.
I guess one could try bargaining with them - because without you hiring them, there'd be no license to sell to you. But I guess successful ones can just turn you away.
This feels like the most realistic depiction of the growth of strong AI I've ever read. The emphasis is on training neural nets in the form of raising child-like avatars. The subsequent use and abuse of them feels totally believable. The lack of singularity doomsday hype reminds me of an interview with Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinksy on Recode: https://www.recode.net/2016/6/27/12037248/artificial-intelli...
I've actually been interested in affordable laptop rentals for a while but haven't found anything worthwhile, mostly lease to own. Has anyone encountered this done well yet?
playok.com might be a good reference. it has all the bases covered and a great balance between simplicity and features, plus an active community. I played your othello bot and it was really easy, maybe you could use some of the open source othello programs like edax to make a more challenging computer? http://abulmo.perso.neuf.fr/edax/4.3/index.htm
