Well the "wrapping open source" model doesn't give you anything to export

so your idea is basically to mooch off of people who do have productive jobs, by proxy of the government? there is no such thing as an art-based economy

It's not the choice of an american or chinese person but an american or chinese economy you're dependent on. An american or chinese country, an american or chinese government. The difference is that the chinese support eugenics, a

The dollar will be weakened in the future. Is there any doubt about it? We cannot continue operating in this post-war regime when the conditions for the post-war regime have been dismantled. I have rarely ever aligned with this president, b

Because I don't want the chinese to control the world.

It will never happen because of economies of scale. What type of intervention of the free market do you approve of as an alternative that would incentivize local production over economies of scale? It essentially comes down to tarrifs and p

by beeflet 2y ago
Because of tarrifs, demand for local manufacturing increases and manufacturing wages will be greater than they are currently abroad due to newly constrained supply. Okay, then we'll have unions then. I don't see what the issue is

Not your keys, not your coins. It is never a sound idea to leave a large amount of cryptocurrency on an exchange. I don't think this will fundamentally change from Mt. Gox

Does this constitute a "real economy"? Where are the goods and services being traded? It's all just speculation and worthless "web3" stuff like NFTs. It's not any more a real economy than the counter-strike ski

Managing the government isn't brain surgery. It's not that specialized.

Security systems also give you power and control over others. Whether or not it's harmless to break them is a case-by-case question.

I don't really care about ransomware distributors either. I think the burden is on the victim defend their own systems.

This is weird that you are citing an LLM
857.
by beeflet 2y ago
Yeah but depending on the pace of the lecture you might not even get everything down. So it's better to take some notes after class like this

The opposite is true. If there was no municipal water supply, then you would in theory have a freer market where there would be multiple suppliers and consumers could theoretically make this decision themselves- assuming it doesn't res

They couldn't just implement whatever biometric thing that is without making it tied to an account?

the "freedom" being limited in this case is the freedom to privatize otherwise public work

a permissive license is essentially the worst case scenario for a violated copyleft license

by beeflet 2y ago
yeah it sucks that a lot of the rust ecosystem is pushing permissive licenses over copyleft

Even worse for these LLM-as-a-service companies i that the utility of open source LLMs largely comes down to the customization: you can get a lot of utility by restricting token output, varying temperature, and lightly retraining them for s

If humans create oxygen with a machine, is that parasitic?

You have to acknowledge that in our current time, atheism largely exists within christian societies. That's the basis for humanism and social justice and such. Before and after christianity you have master morality. The best thing I ca

I can't think of anything trump has done in this term which is that authoritarian. Maybe that's just the "tan suit" syndrome where the media reports on every little thing it drowns out the big picture, but nothing really

by beeflet 2y ago
I think it is pretty obvious that trump doesn't have any real political ambitions besides being popular and powerful, and seeking personal retribution against those who tarnish his reputation. In fact, he increasingly just seems like a

Banks and centralized payment systems are natural monopolies, so they jack up their fees as much as possible and become weak points for regulation. A bank transfer costs me 15$ bucks, more than 10x the cost of a bitcoin transaction right no
