(To be clear I quite happen to like EVs) And those people who would lose money are the EV manufacturers. AFAIK in the US EV manufacturers are barely making money even with gov’t subsidies (baring Tesla). They can’t charge what would be nece

Meta needs to stop open-washing their product. It simply is not open-source. The license for their precompiled binary blob (ie model) should not be considered open-source, and the source code (ie training process / data) isn’t availabl

Intel has a fab nearby as well which is actually net positive for potable water because they take in waste water and purify it enough that it goes back into the supply after they’re done using it.

Monopolies are not inherently bad. They are only bad when they abuse that position to retain a monopoly or allow a decline in product quality.

I really liked Brave Search but unfortunately it started giving me captchas on every search after 11 pm Pacific or so for some (unknown) reason. They’re not even image captchas, you just click the button and wait 15-20 seconds which is pret

Sure but under what license? Because slapping “open source” on the model doesn’t make it open source if it’s not actually license that way. The 3.1 license still contains their non-commercial clause (over 700m users) and requires derivative

Except that before today you didn’t even need admin for access to the database, any process that is allowed to read things could access the Recall database.

How much is the AI necessary for this? At least for the targeting of sounds in the line of sight, that should be fairly easy to do without AI, but I don’t know about the human voice identification.

Just to clarify, no it isn’t theft. For most games and software that cost money, you never really buy it, but rather you’re buying a license to use it, with strings attached for rules on the possibility of being banned, of which there is us
