It's not like those American companies were only stealing form Americans. Maybe you could argue about utility, but morally I don't see any ground to stand on And the utility argument is also very shaky. The proposed punishment for

I don't believe I understand your argument? Are you claiming a moral, legal or practical difference? Or are you saying that Anthropic spending resources on training an LLM is somehow different from an author spending resources on writi

Do they? Is a company with $200 billion annual revenue and earnings (EBITDA) of $100 billion having $420 billion of off-balance-sheet debt really staggering? In many other industries that would be a perfectly normal amount of debt to have.

Source? Has Anthropic's annualized revenue not quadrupled in the last 7 months? And OpenAI's annualized revenue quadrupled since January 2025? Which is only unimpressive by comparison to Anthropic's meteoric revenue growth I&

The important difference is that leaving Codeberg forever is much easier and lower impact than leaving your country forever Switching costs are a core part why certain governance methods work on the internet but not in real life. Similar re

I wonder how this turns out longer-term. Obviously more and more software development is moving to LLMs. But depending on how principled codeberg ends up about enforcing this, a project being on codeberg might end up as a strong signal that

New reddit is more annoying (to me as human, but also to scrapers) in two very important ways: - old reddit shows more or less the raw comment tree, sorted, like HN. New reddit does aggressive folding. You get a couple comments for each bra

If by "distill" they mean "used it for fine-tuning" then they might have used it in the final stages of fine-tuning of Kimi K3. I image they might have already been using Opus, and when Fable became available it was easy

I frequently have cases where `ls **/*.png` fails because the argument list is too long. Just happened yesterday with an rm I wanted to run. Find works, but the syntax is arcane. Not bad , but unlike any other common cli tool, which m

It also burns quite well. If are in a location that burns trash in waste-to-energy plants you can get a decent amount of that energy back by throwing it away

While running the model at 9000 tokens/s is the more flashy demo, I imagine running 1000 concurrent requests at 150 tokens/s each is the much more achievable goal

Planners forgetting that pedestrians exist is sadly a common occurrence

People associate a lack of lighting with crime I vaguely remember that studies showed that lack of streetlights does not create crime, but the crime that happens anyways prefers badly lit areas. But from a pedestrian's perspective that

I got a decent response with the same prompt But yes, this will happen. 1.7B is already a tiny model, running that at 1-bit is going to lead to some behavioral issues and will need tuning of temperature/topP/repeatPenalty/etc

There have been plenty of instances of paper-based land registries being wiped out. It's just usually a very local problem because paper lends itself more to decentralized storage

From the NY Times, 1995: > Spying on allies for economic advantage is a crucial new assignment for the C.I.A. now that American foreign policy is focused on commercial interests abroad. President Clinton made economic intelligence a high

The market will quickly adjust to the point where spending $50 on tokens will on average give you a vulnerability valued at $50. Maybe $100 to account for your edge in having a better prompt and the risk of prison time you take in selling t

In Europe (at least in Germany) we already have a lack of truck parking spots along many routes. And that's with parking spots that are just a bit of Asphalt and maybe a portapotty, or big asphalt parking lots attached to a rest stop I

In most realistic settings it's even easier. For example a Project Daedalus probe only accelerates for four years before running out of fuel. So you could decelerate in just four years. Maybe a bit more, since you only have the smaller

It's also just a very cherry-picked framing Mozilla exists because one company owned the front door to the web, and another company abused their market position to push their free (as in beer) browser. Mozilla is the phoenix rising fro

With variations on nuclear propulsion we could plausibly get to up to around 12% the speed of light. At least that's the number quoted for Project Daedalus [1], which is using nuclear fusion for the first stage and nuclear-powered ion

Steel production is on the decline in most first world nations. In case of a large-scale war there simply wouldn't be a lot of surplus to send Britain's way

Recycling steel uses by and large the same industrial sites as making new steel. Most new steel has some amount of recycled steel mixed in, the trick is getting the ratios of various types of scrap right

In a defensive war, a steel navy sitting in spitting distance of your shores and an army of steel tanks will still do a lot to keep the enemy at bay. And you can swap the tank turrets for Gatling guns on some of your newly produced tanks to

But that's on OpenAI for selecting that company name. EU trademark law hasn't changed, this was always going to be a problematic trademark if challenged They still have the trademark on their logo

In the EU "well known marks" are protected even without registration, and block conflicting trademark applications As such "everyone knows them" isn't a reason to allow a registration. It would just mean that blocki

The trivial fix is to execute not "git.exe" but "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe". With a configurable git binary Of course that then leads you down the rabbit hole of whether the llm should exectute a known-good ripgre
