Isn't that the kind of toil that tends to get automated away with CI/CD?

Isn't the same true of any intellectual property? A movie can be duplicated indefinitely. There's no guarantee your song will be appreciated as art. I'm not sure why you say you can't print out an image and hang it in yo

Good point! At home you can watch a movie without being judged on your choice of snacks.

It's also odd to release software under a license allowing commercial use if the authors didn't want that.

That might be the answer -- something like BitTorrent that updates only the parts that need updating. But I do think I'm identifying an unmet need. Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-BF16.gguf, for example: what's its sha256sum? I don't think

We might be talking past each other. Call Haifa a parable, if you will. I understand why you find fault with the study, but I invoked it to call out (quoting myself) that a fine can also give permission for unwanted behavior. That point add

I get your point, but I doubt the fine could have been ethically higher. Domino's drivers killed dozens of people in speed-related accidents before they ended their 30-minute guarantee. I don't think our society is ready for the c

I could imagine an AI sidekick that does all this work for you, and always has the last word because it'll never give up. A place like Meta or Microsoft would tell you to pound sand, but an aligned army of collective-bargaining agents

What happens to older datacenter GPUs? Do they have a second life somewhere outside of datacenters? I could see Nvidia adding terms of sale requiring disposal rather than resale.

Consistent, low-impact enforcement is better at preventing unwanted behavior than the rare and severe but also capricious enforcement performed by human police. It can also give permission for unwanted behavior. Cf. the Haifa study, where

Thanks for all your contributions. Do you think it's time for version numbers in filenames? Or at least a sha256sum of the merged files when they're big enough to require splitting? Even with gigabit fiber, it still takes a long t

Maybe triple. (1) paid higher prices, (2) the government will issue debt to refund the tariffs to importers who we already reimbursed through higher prices, and then (3) Congress will use the extra debt from the refunds as justification f

When someone is in the market for a new computer, they rarely look more than months ahead, no matter how long your cycle is.

Your original point carries an infinitesimal amount of weight. Yes, you win.

Unless you know something we don't, Alibaba hasn't been accused of distilling or stealing any Anthropic assets.

The more stars my personal GitHub repos have, the more likely the project was something I cranked out over a weekend to scratch an itch, and then more or less abandoned because it was good enough -- maybe even perfect for that specific itch

I would like my phone to forward spam calls to this, with a system prompt to slowly provide fake personal and financial information intermingled with chatter about sports and the weather.

Related: In my Bash logout script I have a chmod that fixes authorized_keys. It won't help with scp because that's non-interactive, but it has helped the other 999 times I've forgotten to clean up the mess I made during an ss

It's strange how hard it is to think of a situation that could lead to that case. Who would bother filing an infringement lawsuit for code whose very existence proves that it can be derived by anyone from LLM prompts? What would the da

That would effectively rely on the doctrine of trade secret rather than copyright. A major difference is that accidental or malicious disclosure of a trade secret usually ends the trade secret status, forever. In an alternate universe where

If you're running Ollama, you'll have to wait a little longer for its embedded version of llama.cpp to catch up. It can be a couple days or weeks behind.

Read the beetle example in that article. It's exactly on point. You believe Anthropic is a rare subspecies of beetle (an "unsavory" company) based on a certain pattern on its back (certain NDA-related behavior). I and several

This would be a great job for an AI agent. Even better if a few million such agents collectively refused to agree to unconscionable terms.

You can usually purchase 10 years up front. But then you should set a reminder for every 3 years or so to keep topping up, or else you'll forget how to even sign into the registrar. You're right that having a vanity domain for you
