The key difference is that a search engine downloads a copy of a web page that is specifically intended by the author to be downloaded and viewed by others. If the LLM training is being done only on books that have been downloaded from sites where the books have been made freely available by their owners, then the fair use argument would be much stronger.

Also, a net worth of $3 million should be easily achievable by any of us who are typical engineers. If I'm doing the math correctly, if you put $10,000 per year into a retirement account starting at age 22 and get 7-8% returns, it'll be pretty close to $3 million when you retire.

I know it's been a couple decades since anyone here RTFA, and barely anyone even RTFS anymore, but you didn't even bother reading the headline, did you?

You've already forgotten the entire premise of this article. If technological improvements allow the same work to be done in 32 hours that was previously done in 40 hours, then employers should pay the same, instead of paying 20% less, for the same amount of work.

He doesn't think that the radio waves will give everyone cancer?

Is it just the regulation that requires homes to have reliable* electrical service, and they don't consider solar panels without battery storage to be reliable enough? If so, that sucks for you, but there are good reasons for those regulations.

* For some value of reliable

When the last Indiana Jones movie came out, a lot of people complained about how unrealistic it was for him to still be working when he was 80+ years old. People that work in academia commented on how that was the most realistic part of the movie.

Not really. A used 2022 model year car most likely just came off a three-year lease. A lot of people that can afford to make car payments forever just keep getting a new car every three years. The main reason that getting a lease would be more common for electric vehicles is that the technology is still improving rapidly. A gas car that's three years newer will have some minor improvements, but an electric car that's three years newer may have some major improvements, especially a longer range.

I call your Chinese Communist Party and raise you a Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

When it was discussed here a few months ago, people pointed out that the law provided for an extension if the president decided that there was a good-faith effort to negotiate a sale. I vaguely remember, though, that the law allowed a single 90-day extension, which would make this latest extension illegal.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think the "G" in "TCG" stands for?

You're underestimating how wrong it is to do that.

You can have a law that says a person A is not allowed to tell person B that they are a licensed, professional therapist and then provide therapy, since that would be fraud. And unless the person is running the chatbot themselves on hardware they control, the chatbot is a commercial service, not a private individual.

Can you provide one example of a line drawn on the right? Where "right" means advocating for things like less economic regulation or lower taxes? When you say that someone was banned for their "conservative viewpoint" when they were actually banned for being racist, all you're doing is admitting that being racist is a fundamental part of being conservative.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's pretty close to what Boston has been using. We also had low speed limits on a large percentage of the system, though I think that was more due to track wear and damage than the signaling system.

A couple years ago, we got a new General Manager who's a career civil engineer. He basically said there were two options. One, they could keep making minor repairs in the 4-5 hours they have overnight, and it would take something like 10 years to fix enough of the current problems. Or two, they could shut down large sections for 2-3 weeks at a time, and get everything fixed in a year or two. He chose option two, and now the system works a lot better than it did a couple years ago.
