Any legal precedent for this has to be a win right?

No direct evidence for him no, but there is direct evidence that the market shifts slightly before his announcements, suggesting that somebody is getting advanced knowledge.

You say that right up until a tracking cookie links some accounts together that otherwise weren’t and some nut job buys your data from a data broker and comes to your house to kill you.

As someone running diffusion and autoregressive models both in my basement and at work, the drive to create open-source models as a method of competition certainly makes me feel like I’m winning as a consumer.

There are JS based torrent downloaders. That would work for the normies to get files, but you’d still have to find a way to convince people to host files on the backend. It’d probably take a full-on desktop client wrapper with an embedded torrent client but that’s a pretty hard sell for the average nerd if you’re upfront, and probably a harder sell if you’re dishonest about it.

That’s reasonable; I just wouldn’t have called my wife’s laptop my laptop I guess. It was either that or there was probably an interesting story behind it.

How many laptops do you own lol?

I am fairly certain SmartTubeNext was a rebrand by the same dev.

If you make it only toonami ads I’m in tho

I had an opposing shower thought the other day so I’m going to play devil’s advocate on this one.

I think in a world of rational, good-faith actors (which I’m not arguing we live in), this is both by-design, and optimal at society scale.

Think about those things you’re good at, and the things you’re not so good at. I’m really good with computers, my time is most efficiently spent troubleshooting and building technology stacks. This skillset is in demand enough that I make a comfortable living doing it.

I’m comfortable enough that I have time to learn other skills when needed, but not comfortable enough to hire out all the otherwise commodity tasks I need done. A leak in the roof, a sink that needs replacing, some cat6 through the walls, leveling a floor before replacing broken tile from the 80’s… You get the idea. I can do drywall and other general contractor work but I’m not great at it. It takes me longer to end up with a worse end product than a professional, and I don’t enjoy doing it.

Every Saturday I spend doing drywall could, at society-scale, be much more efficiently spent building a k8s cluster or helping a scientist build software for research. Just like the guy doing my drywall should have a me on the other end of a phone when he needs a new laptop, or his mother gets malware.

When people hit “rich” the unspoken meaning is supposed to be that their time is valuable enough that society deems it more useful to spend it outside of commodity tasks. That seems like a good fundamental design… say what you will about its current real-world implementation.

DRM is already the primary purpose of trusted compute if you read shareholder meeting transcripts; security is a marketing side effect.

Remote assistance is not rdp, it’s Microsoft’s support hook over the Internet, which requires telemetry to function. It is distinctly separate from, and not a prerequisite for RDP.

The rest of that I’ll have to look into, but disabling remote assistance seems sane in that context.

I wonder if other parts of the shutdown dialog or hover context menu have phone home functions that can only be disabled in roundabout ways; it wouldn’t be the first time. It would not surprise me to learn that the “which apps are preventing shutdown” dialog would be something that triggers a call to phone that data home.

Was backtrack before or after whoppix?

I’d say that the ctt winutil does a pretty good job. I’ve been running installs cleaned by it for a good year now without major issues

“simple majority” is a technical term in this context, it refers to any number >50%. In the context of the Senate, that’d be a 51/49 split, or a 50/50 split broken by the VP.

There are some procedural measures that explicitly only require this simple majority to pass; most bills require a 60/40 in practice because that’s the threshold required to bypass a procedural filibuster. They at the very least require a simple majority + 0 members of a body opting to invoke filibuster.

Say what you will about the people we’ve currently elected; I just stand by it being a sound procedural practice.

Yes they were, so I’m offering you an actual theory as to why this may actually be true, yet difficult to “prove”.

Smoking was bad for your health long before anyone sat down and took the time to prove it. Autoregressive LLM tokenizer are a very new field of computer science and it’s going to take a while for the community to collectively understand everything we’re currently doing by trial and error.

I try to keep my commentary as apolitical as possible, so what I’ll say is:

If you believe that the current ticket is the Cthulhu/Lucifer ticket, imagine what they could accomplish if every bill only required a simple majority.

Anecdotally, I use it a lot and I feel like my responses are better when I’m polite. I have a couple of theories as to why.

1. More tokens in the context window of your question, and a clear separator between ideas in a conversation make it easier for the inference tokenizer to recognize disparate ideas.

2. Higher quality datasets contain american boomer/millennial notions of “politeness” and when responses are structured in kind, they’re more likely to contain tokens from those higher quality datasets.

I haven’t mathematically proven any of this within the llama.cpp tokenizer, but I strongly suspect that I could at least prove a correlation between polite token input and dataset representation output tokens
