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

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)

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

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
