It would be absolutely hilarious to follow up the absurd response with a public records request for all documentation around how they calculated that sum.

I mean, they could break it, but the devastation would be immense and then everyone would hate us even more. Getting involved was always a losing strategy.

I mean, they detailed *exactly* how it works in the very short article.

On a recent 3k mile cross-country trip I was shocked to see how prevalent Flock cameras were, even in tiny back-woods locations. I'm fairly certain you cannot drive long distances in the US anymore without Flock having a detailed record of your travels.

Not to mention, didn't it recently change to first-to-file as well?

Given the fact that Taalas was claiming 1/10th the hardware cost and 1/10th the power consumption, yeah, companies would absolutely jump at that. Now, whether they can achieve that in practice is yet to be seen.

The Taalas chip already had a memory region to keep fine-tune weights.

You should check into hall effect mechanical keyboards. They can have a floating actuation point for retrigger that is based on detecting press, partial release, press. It's really pretty cool.

I mean, they can generally re-sleeve a cylinder. Did no one offer that solution?

Funny that you are comparing Copyrights and Trade Secrets. The monopoly granted on Copyright is predicated on it being published. Trade Secrets, by definition, are not published. Copyright is granted based on the value to the public provided by the author publishing their works. Trade Secrets have no such protection as they are not meant for the public good. They have other protection from theft, but once they are published, there is no protection of the information.

I started on Oracle, then spent many years on MySQL, and am now using mostly Postgres. I vastly prefer Postgres over MySQL. Mind you, I haven't really worked with MySQL in a few years now, so it might have improved a lot for all I know. The one thing that initially drew me to Postgres over MySQL was DDL being transactional.

Taalas claims significant cost, speed, and power differential with running on Nvidia (and similar) hardware. Their whole thesis is that with making the hardware cost less, run faster, and run with less power mixed with their claimed fast production cycle for new weights, companies would plan on purchasing and then relegating the other chips to different workloads at the next update cycle. And the chips have facilities for fine-tunes that can by dynamically loaded. The info I've seen has been very light on details, but if they can even get halfway where they are planning, it'll be a massive shift.

Out of curiosity, why do you prefer MySQL over Postgres?
