Does this means that the product of neural network training is not owned by anybody, so free to be used by anyone?

The most devious thing here is that if you cancel the plan before the end of the contract, you lose access immediately while also paying 50% of the remaining months.

What happens is - and I felt 2 years on that - you wait to cancel by the last month, which is not surprisingly easy to forget.

Victor Mono is one of my top fonts, specially because I like to use tiny sizes + a bit condensed to get some extra columns. Iosevka becomes illegible under the same size, so despite being more condensed, Victor still wins for me.
Re:Hacking ADHD: Strategies for the modern developer on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @08:41AM (#38276491)
I don't find this hyperfocus to be unique and became quite resentful when diagnosed later in life by a therapist + psychiatrist. In my case, I was confused as to why I was always underperforming and needed to work extra hours to catch up with my peers, for example. It is not lazyness, when alone I’m a dialed down version of Martin Lorentzon (reference here from the Spotify docuseries)

As a child, I had nicknames related to "crazy." Today, the one thing I take pride in related to ADHD is my ability to think outside the box.
