I have received cds with ubuntu 5 or 6, was surprised they actually sent those, but at one point I started using it

[edit] omg circa 2006, firefox was still new back then

no one at whitings is working hard on taking any measurements, just some mba convinced themselves that they do actual work

device was bought by customer and it's all customer's data

oh wow, I was literally thinking about buying whitings device, now I don't have think about it anymore - I'll definitely never buy from them

supposedly someone is getting bonus for loosing customers, that's how it works?

you can start with

    var chain = x=>f=>f?chain(f(x)):x;
    chain(x)(h)(g)(f)();

if you need to partly curry to free first argument

    var _ = (f,...y)=>x=>f(x,...y);
    var sum = (x,y)=>x+y;
    chain(1)(_(sum,1))()

if you want whole pipeline

    var $ = (x,...f)=>f.reduce((x,f)=>f(x),x);
    $(1,_(sum,1));

which gives fun ability to extract function without input param

    var sum1 = _($,_(sum,1));
    sum1(1);

... which in turn is just having fun with point-free JS

both are working very hard for that renown

it simply works, that's how you optimise tax on million+ sums, do you think ceo-s pay taxes on par with regular workers?

it was meaning "to be careful and considerate when changing things", now it means "i do whatever i want and if you don't agree then you are (insert imaginary adversary here)"

it can be very easily done by burning it with laser on prepared blank box on silkscreen - even iPhones are marked this way with their own serial numbers

the only reason why pis are not marked this way is because raspberry didn't wanted to (so far)

gateway 3ds tried to brick 3ds-es of users of cloned cards, bricked whole swaths of actual users instead

fun fact is that some chinese electronics manufacturers do exactly that with their products (even simple ones like led night lights), holographic qr-code on box that can be scanned and verified without opening box and second code inside box to verify box wasn't swapped

information was easy to find since wikipedia and google (when both were unpoisoned), LLM-s were already good as "books you can talk with", now when LLM-s start cosplay experts they are not (and try make decisions they are not fit to take responsibility for) it gets literally insane, like looking at car wreck in slow motion

it's of wrong scale, you cannot claim derivative work when you literally ingressed sum of knowledge while destroying it in the process so your "competitors" cannot do the same

while you mentioned how tribal property management looks like in some places (that things are dynamically moving between who needs them at the time), it does not help to solve issue at hand, that is how to call what ai companies did:

- amassed then destroyed/denied largest knowledge corpora seen so far

- poisoned knowledge for decades to come, deliberately or not, which would stop new developments by independent teams

- now they are crying that they are being robbed of their precious models, which - at this point in time - are neither truly good not economical

(not to mention actual environmental and social harm they cause)

this is truly first of a kind situation, that was never seen nor heard before

it will only get worse now when hughingface was bough by nvidia, not immediately, but in span of year or years...

because that makes them even more money for equally nonexistent amount of liability, this is actual answer, unfortunately

this argument still adds nothing to discussion because companies clearly want to spend zero but earn everything, the only amount they are willing to spend is on lawyers working on shielding companies from any responsibility including obvious cases of negligence

so they went straight to unhinged side? readers should be able to decide for themselves based on unbiased reporting

but you didn't even seen that article, it's about logging causing yet another species to go extinct, planted or not

you can always plant more forests but you cannot resurrect what went extinct, extinction is forever, new forest is 20 years

no, absolutely not, any malicious or dishonest bot traffic is harmful, generating unnecessary transfer and literally stealing data

you can still find books published within last 50 years, you don't have to read books published this year, unless your library went through destruction of "old" books which are now more relevant than ever...

it's happening for years now, just in slightly different form, so far it was called disinformation, seo, astroturfing, hasb... ehem... last two years were devastating for charred remains of twitter with all those llm bots having free reign, twitter went from global news board to global gutter in record time thanks to disinformation and astroturfing campaigns

it's connected via vicious cycle

private healthcare is getting more and more expensive due to private prices available to bulk insurers but not for private person

even if this is not completely deliberate, effect is that you are "serf of whomever pays your insurance" or go bankrupt the moment you have any kind of emergency

in europe some private healthcare providers are showing their colors from different perspective, they outright refuse or cancel private contracts when you are above certain age

It’s not their IP, they never created data they were training on in the first place, at best they derived existing data without asking if they can commercialized it

balmer told us that gpl is cancer, but true cancer is us model of licensing

let's call it for what it really is, only companies "entitled to legally stolen data, don't steal from us now" are crying about distilation

which is moot point, if open model is hard to fully audit, then closed model is complete enigma and you should be more scared about closed models

but you are not using chinese models to learn about taiwan, you use chinese models to do everything BUT learning about taiwan, so no issue there

in simple terms closed models are rugpull waiting to spring at unsuspecting users, it's like you take all worst components of terminal capitalism (including price cartels), subscriptions relying on almost monopolistic dependency and microsoft/uber models of hugging competition to death to remain only provider and dictate all conditions

it's a real paradox, that chinese models are what guards democratization and private use of ai while us models are moted castles with "kings" crying that you are stealing their legally stolen goods... what times we are living in...

altman should listen to his own words, and he should replace himself (wasting energy for eating) with ai (supposedly not wasting energy for eating)

it would be beneficial both for openai and world (most likely)
