Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now.

You suggested to model it linearly, that is what we are discussing here.

Does the data originate from an exponential? Can you prove it?
mxeff@feddit.org 4 days ago
Your data, no because I have no access to the actually values. But just a plot of a line that seems very straight (but does need to actually be), and measuring it manually will introduce some noise.
In my data, that I generated, yes there I know for a fact that it is from an exponential.

The actual values are exactly as show on the graph. Do you know what graphs are?
mxeff@feddit.org 4 days ago
I am well aware what a graph is and that it shows the actually values, but to obtain some actually values to perform manually some calculations we need to extract some explicit values from the image. This is however not arbitrarily precise and therefore will add some noise to the extracted values.
My data is simply y = exp(x).
