Llama is not open source. It is at best weights available. The license explicitly limits what kind of things you are allowed to use the outputs of the models for.

To the extent that Linux doesn’t support nvidia gpu it is actually Nvidia not supporting Linux and keeping their drivers proprietary.

What if it was an alien, or a magical being? There is no reason the same reasoning must apply for humans as it does for machines or code. Our laws already work this way.

Plausible deniability will satisfy who exactly? The Sherlock Holmes of Reddit did a great job with the Boston marathon bombing. You don’t have to actively demonetize your reviews, you just have to prime your audience ahead of time that your

Consciousness is irrelevant to discussions of intelligence (much less AGI) unless you pick a circular definition for both. This is “how many angels dance on the head of a pin” territory.

Go look at videos of the current UI. It's not just doing an alpha blend between two static images. It's doing real time effects to mimic refraction and color separation the way you except to see through glass. Also, 20 years ago y

I hear from people who in the same breath then tell me the benefits of the natural chemical-free supplements they're taking, as if the supplement industry doesn't exist.

Interesting. However for the purpose of this discussion it is both: A) Irrelevant since it's not being run by a for-profit corporation, the kind that would care about these tax bills. B) It's a bit of a cheat. TeX itself may be ap

Also a great way to speed up hardware upgrades. Each new os update can add more computationally expensive frills to make the older phones slow down.

No, a regular pickup truck would make boatloads of money. Instead they made a rusty tin can that chops off fingers and falls apart. Meanwhile their competitors are moving downmarket and releasing cheaper cars

None of this has to be for-profit. It just requires the university administration to put its wants, priorities, and head count (!) above the interests of the individual departments and of the students. Making the whole thing a non-profit or

I guess it depends on what you mean by contentious and by whom. The current US administration is a love letter to grifters, con artists, liars, and cheaters. And is staffed with many of the same kind of people.

University departments do not always have the kind of autonomy your post implies. It is common for the university’s central administration to dictate how many students they must let it, how much money they get per student, and hence how man

Blame it on the continual rate increases for the sake of money if you’d like. But it isn’t expensive because generation is expensive.

Most of that is not generation, but for transmission, distribution, and grid upgrades. Specifically burying the lines so they survive forest fires.
