Right, but there's still an addressable set of display units that convert an RGB signal to actual glowing lights, right? It seems like defining px to be perceptual is one of those compatibility hacks that probably helped a ton back in

Management is going to force one model or another because that's how procurement works in most places. For better or worse that really favors Anthropic because they were the first to land these contracts.

If I stop in the wrong gear the most dangerous part is that I stopped, not that I'm in the wrong gear. If I'm moving the bike by directly motivating the drivetrain with my foot, all this talk about "more control" feels v

It's not their choice, no matter how much they'd like it to be. The Chinese models are able to distill outputs into a model of slightly worse performance within a few weeks of each release, and the same copyright exemptions which

You are not liable, you can't be held responsible. These agreements are trying to hold back the tide with their legal team's hands. This already happens at such massive scale that it's obvious they're completely helpless

Presumably the agreement is worded in a way that prohibits that, but considering that lots of model outputs go on the internet just to get trained on anyways Anthropic/OpenAI can fuck right off. I don't see them as having a leg to

It's true for most engineers (most human beings, really) and not by a small margin.

Because the margin on digital goods is effectively 100%. As long as a retailer can secure a license for less than the publisher directly charges customers, they can undercut the publisher and still make a profit. At least in theory. I&#x2

It's an ARM CPU - ARM is built off Berkeley RISC. ASML would never exist if not for billions of dollars of R&D spending by American chip manufacturers, much of which was directly provided. Obviously there are good engineers in Eur

The United States has the best engineers because it pays the best. Good engineers from other places move here to capture some of that. Obviously strict licensing laws would get in the way of that. Outside of some exceptions which don't

The most likely option is that the status quo stays as it is: almost everything is copyrighted, nobody finds it worth it to defend their copyright because it's not worth very much.

I don't think that anything you said is wrong but I also don't think that memory consumption is going back to the old baseline... well, ever. Memory is just too useful now that you can use it to drive cars and write code.

Most enterprise GPUs are scrap after 5 years because they're so inefficient compared to newer models. It's entirely possible to make them last longer by undervolting them, people just don't because it doesn't make sense
