Calling a LLM "a tool for plagiarism" takes some real mental gymnastics. You could similarly argue IKEA is selling lethal weapons because you can kill someone with a knife. The exact way copyright laws will apply (or not) to AI is

This has nothing to do with ChatGPT and everything to do with Amazon tolerating counterfeits and plagiarism. Also, how is this a replica if it was released before the original book? Is it just title squatting or has someone stolen his dra

It's at the same time pure microkernel and performant and usable in real world (not just a research project). The memory management, scheduling and IPC are implemented in an interesting and novel way (compared to your typical mainstr

SeL4 is a very interesting kernel even without taking the proof into account (eg in platforms/builds that the proof doesn't cover). I wish someone would build a beyond-posix desktop OS on top of it...

Looking at your pricing, is that per seconds of GPU usage or per total seconds the app is running? Eg. might have only a few minutes of usage in an hour and the rest of the time is spent waiting for requests. How's that billed?
