Most people who are good at their job understand the greatest value comes from deep understanding and internalization. Some people have been in roles where alienation from the code is institutionalized, and they've been playing that ro

The problem is that ownership is itself a legal fiction, so it's kind of necessarily legalese. It's interchangeable with "legitimate control" in common parlance. IE if I break into your house and throw you out of it, I d

You could sidestep it by running non-permissibly licensed training data that you purchased through an LLM. Legal attitude so far seems to be that this is transformative as long as it's not 1:1. The question on whether or not the end re

To be clear, you never owned the games, you own the disk that contains the games. The right they are reserving is to revoke your legal access to the games you're licensing. They can't repossess the disk, but they can deny you the

You think that giant employers being protected, especially when they align themselves with government interests of the day, is a conspiracy? Do you also think that suggesting economic producer interests are a high priority is a conspiracy?

Baseline yeah. But part of the reason you run open models is how much nicer fine tuning them is. Granted, you probably don't want to try and make LoRAs on a 4x RTX6000 setup, but you could if you really wanted to and there are other wa

That's not even remotely close to being true, even once you account for capex. You have to look at the actual usage, look at the token limits. Even if you're paying Anthropic $200k/month for scale-tier, you're going to b

I can't speak on the Steam version, but the UI was perfectly fine in the ASCII version. The worst thing that I remember was how things were categorized. IE it was something like (b)uildings, (q)ueries, (d)esignations and whatever (i) w

I would pose that's a matter of holding it wrong. Like, integrating generative AI as a prompt to an API endpoint exposed to the user is one of the worst, most naive and bland ways to use it as a game subsystem that I can think of. Don&

Weak "chain-of-thought" abilities, high error rates and a very bad ability to recover from errors. If they produce a non-sequitur somewhere (which they are highly prone to doing), that global refinement spreads it everywhere like

But can't sustain itself. The larger it is, the larger the diffuse buffer it needs to support itself, and this diffuse buffer naturally spreads out as well. It's the natural flow of things to do so.

To be honest given the amount of structural obliteration you get out of GHC, image-based development sounds like a really bad idea. Haskell is such a weird and unintuitive language to understand from a systems perspective, because it's

More broadly, the field has been focused on inductive logic programming since the 90s. More or less, one can think of it like synthesizing a logic program to describe and generalize background knowledge and examples. An automated approach t

That's why nobody uses Lisp machines today, but Lisp is somewhat orthogonal. It's true that the death of the Lisp machine economy hurt Lisp more than the end of the FGCS hurt Prolog. BUT this was happening long before the winter h

FWIW I think the paper's argumentation is extremely weak to begin with. Like in section 4.1, it opens by expressing a sound position of skepticism: > there are significant questions on whether these traces have any valid semantic im
