Wait til you see the first diagram

Wouldn't it be the other way around? They're all using cloud services already for things that they could run themselves.

I agree. Some existing licenses don't seem compatible with AI training. If they don't go back to rectify that, at the very least you should be able to license your work in a way that explicitly prohibits AI training. They can pay if they want to use it.

If someone really wants to ask a million dollars to let a book be trained on, ok their choice, maybe not getting any customers though. If someone really pays then cool, you deserve it for making what is apparently a very useful book. There are encyclopedias that probably cost more than that to make and would sell for more.

Yeah, I'm fine with copyright existing even though it's messy. That said, if you put your copyright image on a public site with no watermark and Google Images shows it, skill issue.

If inference needs to be subsidized to be economical (idk if true), open models have the same problem.

There's no moral high ground here, it's just that nobody would invest in training publicly usable models if they could be easily distilled. Not that I think there should be laws against it or that such laws would even work; they're going to have to protect themselves.

The drift is consistent if your doors aren't randomly open/closed. If I set my upstairs thermostat to 73˚F, the master bedroom with a closed door is always 71˚F. Downstairs thermostat is 70˚F, office is also 71˚F. We don't care about ±1˚F when working but do care when sleeping.

Also, I get some measures being pointlessly precise just cause it lines up with the units, but they deliberately add a decimal place to the displays to support ˚C, even in countries where ˚C is default. The same display could support 0.5˚F increments, but they intentionally don't.

> I still don't get why are you so fixated on 50°C. Why not 125°F? You'd get even more unused range if you go 0-125.

The 0-125˚F range gets used though. Usually 0-100 though. It's perfect.

Probably not even that.

I'll bet ⅓ of Craigslist car listings had the codes cleared right before the test drive

Yeah, even if they properly enforced this and made cheap car ownership more expensive, people always have their choices and can deal with it. If this makes car-dependent cities non-viable then ok. Probably wouldn't even do that, they'd either find the money or use motorbikes instead.

I think if anything, this shows that cheap cars aren't that bad of a solution. Motorbikes are viable, and people still go for the cheap cars.

If I'm choosing a filename, it's lowercase alphanumeric plus underscore. Usually not even the underscore.

Sometimes you download stuff that relies on case sensitivity. Anyone who's dealt with this probably has a sensitive RW DMG lying around for this reason. But macOS FSes default to case-insensitive, so random issues come up if you make your root sensitive (famously in Adobe software). Damned if you do or don't.

Another weird thing in macOS:

  $ mkdir Cased
  $ cd cased
  $ pwd
  /Users/me/Downloads/cased
  $ cd ../Cased && pwd
  /Users/me/Downloads/Cased

So yeah I wish the FS defaulted to sensitive, even though I never rely on that. Not its job to normalize names.

I don't want spaces either. Of course your scripts should never assume any of this, and this only matters when doing stuff manually (or ai-yolo) in the shell.

Dental yeah, vision is just a scam. There are also "life insurance" plans that are basically tax-advantage investment/inheritance funds if you have like $50M+.

Lexus and Acura are the only luxury brands that are actually reliable, though they're not exactly luxury.

And nobody is selling a new Toyota for a non-expensive price. The cheapest new cars are brands without reputations.

I don't even think the cheap used cars are a more expensive way to live on average. If you get unlucky or scammed, sure.

Well that was random

Poor people can't afford a new $13K car. EVs also make less sense if you live in an apartment.

Yep. Which is also why I find vision insurance ridiculous. No it doesn't cover me going blind, it covers a pair of glasses at best, more like 25% of one.

It's higher in Los Angeles. And I don't know if they have licenses. What I've heard is if they get in an accident and can't drive away, they run away on foot and report the car stolen.

And I guess they don't get pulled over because there aren't ALPRs or cops are ignoring the hits? I had my insurance lapse for 1 day and they still pulled me over a week later off a stale list, so idk.

It's not fun or bragging-worthy or anything. The "haha the driver door doesn't open" bits are very different from getting stranded in random places. The only good experience is if you manage to fix it for cheap.

Having more wealth if anything has had me buy less insurance. My newer car is liability only. Worst case if it blows up, I can afford a cheap replacement that I've already more than saved up for by not paying full coverage.

Also, that $4K cash for clunkers was a lot. I agree with the author, that would've totally gone into my pocket if they did it today. I still have my old car from college that's worth about $500 now, purchased for $1500, and I don't need it.

I have one piece of junk and one newer (ie 2012) car, so I get to experience the difference every week. Except, the driver side window doesn't work in either car. Wish power windows weren't invented.

Supposedly about 20% of drivers in El Paso are uninsured, so yes?

Thermostats normally use 0.5˚C increments because people can feel the difference. Then they disable the decimals when in F mode.

50˚C is the highest temperature that regularly occurs in the hottest place I can think of, Death Valley. The point is, half the 0-100 range never gets used even in extreme settings. But yeah, in most places, more than half is unused.

The goal wasn't regime change. They didn't even propose a replacement, unlike Venezuela where there was someone to step in. Trump admitted it was Israel's demand, plus there are signs of market manipulation.

Some Iranian-Americans are very pro-Shah, particularly the many kicked out during the revolution. They were celebrating the war like it'd bring back the Shah, but frustrated that the US govt and even Western media as a whole ignored the exiled royal family... because that's not the point of the war.
