Why, what the hell is the point? Why would the average person care about a merger?

Another reason why it might be hitting records is many companies getting rid of Microsoft 365 downloads for desktop and only allowing use of the web version. And apparently it's the first thing that comes up when you try to download Mi

That's bluesky and mastodon working as intended. Easy like a centralized platform for everyone, while staying decentralized for nerds.

Apparently the only exception is, if your website is only used for piracy and you can see it and you do nothing about it when asked to. That's why mega, megaupload's successor, has encryption, so that the company can plausibly den

Simple, create a company that becomes large enough to justify an IPO. Then stonks go up.

Anthropic and Openai, but especially anthropic, are lobbying the us government to make it happen

Rookie mistake, you should have created a company and gotten people to do it. Put everything under the company. And then the one in trouble is the company not you.

i am tempted to think using it for robotics will become the standard because humans like to have one size fits all solutions.

Non technical people have always used centralized platforms starting from geocities, Google, Yahoo, it's cheaper than hiring someone to do it for them.

We have to move people to mastodon or bluesky. Stop using x Twitter

Currently it has around 3 pflops. That's even lower than what it had in 2018 when it had around 71 pflops and much much lower than its peak during the COVID pandemic when it had 2 exaflops.

So you don't know, if you did you would elaborate, it's not hard to type, hardly it can be counted as work

We need IPv6 desperately for fault tolerance
76.
by alightsoul 2mo ago
It's also easier to understand. For the internet to be fault tolerant you have to get rid of CDNs and assume everyone needs the same thing. That's more expensive than a centralized "internet" which relies on CDNs and fib

It can also be used to sidestep copyright like this forum, books and most websites even if the data was not purchased but is a website or book. Are LLMs what we need to make all data public domain? This way it could be used for that purpose

Crypto bros took the idea with some blockchain shit and no one takes it seriously anymore so it died

The reason why they don't use Bluetooth is because, they don't exist at all. People either die first before receiving the device, or the condition that requires it is rare in that part of the world

You will need to use your own

In a third world country which are the most affected by this, Pacemakers are very rare and if you have one chances are you live in a rich area where you don't live with neighbors who do that. People die before they ever get a chance at

This is such a first world problem. The speakers the post refers to are probably in a third world country where no medical equipment uses Bluetooth so jamming it poses no danger.

It doesn't say meta or thinking machines were asked. Does that mean asking them is futile, even though they are American labs?

There were other players, china included, but it wasn't relevant until LLMs became profitable? China is being singled out as usual because it's the antithesis of the us
85.
by alightsoul 2mo ago
Oh it's the typical china race thing, we can't let the antithesis of the us be better than the us etc. American exceptionalism

by alightsoul 2mo ago
why are chinese models a consideration at all?

And even worse, if you're addicted to soda, it is cheaper than bottled water, what if you don't have tap water?

Yes, because they want to avoid trade secret lawsuits is what I understand? Computer generated output including code is in the public domain according to the us copyright office, so licensing and authorship are only relevant due to trade se

To a company ownership is irrelevant. What is relevant is whether it contains trade secrets and that is often only proven if an employee worked at their company before

They already are? When an American company does it no one cares but when a Chinese company does it, it's shamed publicly in America as a distillation attack?
