Is it safe to assume that GPT3 has been trained on GPLed code? And in that case, should the GPT3 source code be freely available?

I think you misunderstood: The reason why modern societies need legislation on emails and not on traditional post is because there is a cost associated with traditional cost. You'd probably see the same rules if you could send 20.000

This is just a clear indication that it should have some cost to send a message, otherwise people (mis)use it until the legislators need to stop it attention robbery.

I think a start is in ensuring proper rights to browser extensions. The Garmin Connect cookie banner was broken. It kept showing up on all reloads despite acceptance. In the end the add blocker fixed the problem by entirely removing the coo

In Denmark there is "fri process" that will ensure a lawyer is provided when really needed and you can't afford it – my guess is that other countries have similar systems.

Having taken a masters myself has helped med tremendously on all of the aspects: 1. I know a thing or two about computing etc. and how we should apply that on a societal level from my masters in computer science. I use that to engage in the

I disagree with that sentiment. In my opinion, tax money should mostly go towards building a prosperous society, whatever that means. But some things I see as being highly important: 1. Education in active participation in a democracy 2. Ed

I think it is a bit too narrow to see academia as purely industry preparation. There are a number of educational tasks academia also carries out, furthermore, there is the entire reasearch area. On the contrary, My masters in computer scien

To be honest, we probably see an alternative to academia grow and disrupt it before we see academia reform itself – the academic institution is so old and has so much legacy at this point, that it is close to impossible. I am curious on how

The point is that we retried something that was previously deemed infeasible. Had you been too much aware of the history, you might not have done that.

Yep, as nobody argues we should completely forget previous generations. The question is where to set the needle. The author definitely thinks we do not dwell enough on the past and should spend more time studying it.

This seems to be a failure outside of fads. This is application of an unviable technology. Filesystems has been available for much longer than MongoDB. Using that as a database and having requirements changed to a relational database would

It's a shame that this has negative connotations. There is a case that this is essential. It seems like we are overcoming an AI winter, using the same technologies that was deemed infeasible 20 years ago. When I did competitive program

They do, Both USDC and BUSD are backed by actual dollars. Ie. 1. Burn 1 BUSD 2. Withdraw that 1 dollar 3. Deposit it with the USDC account 4. Mint one USDC However, that requires that banks are open.
