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.
