>But if they have the source code, they could just switch off the license key check, right? That's basically piracy. Unlike individuals who pirate stuff all the time, for businesses there's a much greater risk for lawsuit which

I think he means AI-generated porn, e.g. the Taylor Swift case. I still think it's a silly argument against AI.

Thanks! Just tried it, but it made my skin very smooth, like it was obviously filtered. And it gave me perfect teeth. Kind of uncanny.

The list of main complaints against OSS they present here is (conveniently?) missing the biggest one, in my opinion: Your users can just host their own version instead of paying you. It seems like many OSS companies mitigate this by leaving

Even as a staunch capitalist and borderline libertarian, I am thankful for taxes, why shouldn’t I be? I am not going to celebrate it, but I don’t see it as immoral in any way.

Also, morally - I would argue that the billions of people who choose to use Google for free every single day because it makes their live better, thanks to ads , might think it’s pretty cool too. Please stop demonizing the very thing yo

Newbie question: When would you use dataframes (e.g Pandas, Polars...) and when would you use tensors (Pytorch, TF...)? Are the usecases completely distinct or is there overlap?

I’m not saying on-device performance will ever be comparable to cloud, it’s probably a different use case and market at this point. But 1, it’s still a profitable business to be in, so why shouldn’t OpenAI go there? And 2, more importantly,

I wonder what companies like OpenAI will do if we see on-device AI becoming the mainstream. The entire business model is based on API access. Will they start selling offline models? I guess then piracy becomes an issue…

React is also functions all the way down and the syntax is pretty much identical to this

…you can use React without a transpiler. Without JSX React’s syntax is pretty much identical to this.

by brap 3y ago
I don’t know why they’re selling lack of JSX as a feature. React works without JSX too. It’s just (very convenient) syntactic sugar.

Why did the verification step take so long? I imagine just verifying proofs is very efficient, no? Or do they mean formalizing the proof in Lean is what took weeks?

by brap 3y ago
My uneducated hunch is that we’re just a few years away from “proof search” being a solved problem. But that’s only a part of mathematical research.
