Then you use the disc.

If the license server is gone, you have the disc.

This is copyright law issue, not a technology one.

Once you scan a book, you have to destroy the book.

Google books had page turning robots at libraries and scanning books 10-20 years ago.

Since Xbox already tried to do something related when releasing XBox one, I assume they have been adding a serial number to every disc that can be read by the laser.

So if I borrow a game disc from the library, what happens? It is tied to my account until someone else puts it in their console?

Also I assume Microsoft has been tracking every game with their unique IDs. Steam already creates a unique id for every single individual instance of a game but once redeemed it is forever tied to a single account. Steam wouldn't need to track a unqiue id of a game. What additional data would Microsoft get from their disc tracking?

Actually discs has to be inserted by hand and so should be called digital.

The names are completely flipped!

Eastern diets, esp Indian diets, who have very little meat don't fare better either.

The only thing our bodies aren't designed for are ultra-processed foods: sugar, "vegetable" oil and refined carbs.

With GLP-1, fad diets and the whole concept of diets is gone. You can deal with eating bad foods if you eat little of it. Of course, once out of GLP-1, you'll overeat the processed foods if you don't improve your habits.

People are stuck in pre-GLP-1 world. You don't have to worry about diets, GLP-1 is the ultimate diet pill.

This hasn't been true since the MS-DOS days.

LOL. We bet the farm on this.

Also, we don't have to distill their models. Their models are open-source, open weights.

They did jump ahead a few times and we did use their techniques and learnings to jump past them in the next round.

They remove that kind of data from the training and so model has no idea what you're talking about. They don't add guardrails after the fact.

Anyways, its open weights/open source. You can fine tune it to your liking. Lots of companies do that. Even the company Cursor that SpaceX just bought for $40 billion used a Chinese model, fine tuned it and ran the company on it.

How are people storing the keys to their crypto wallet?

How are people with $200k in their crypto not buying a hardware wallet? Or were they coinbase logins?

His take is only 30%.

Why doesn't Steam or Windows run video games in their own sandbox?

Even Linux with proton does that or can do that.

Flatpak/snap has its issues with sandboxing but video games don't need to access external files.

Does it have to do with DRM?

What is the reason?

This is just as reductionist as saying emotions are just chemicals, our thoughts are just electrical spikes and the entire internet is just 0s and 1s.

A complex system is not just a lot of the basic operations but has inherently different characteristics as a complex system.

I disagree. It is a waste of time.

But, I think you're probably right in a different way.

Even when I was in college decades ago, we used to say, "what you learn in school doesn't matter, what matters is that you showed you can jump all the hoops to get the degree"

This is my pet theory but we don't need to do homeworks like we think of where we ask questions and expect answers from the students.

If AI can generate answers, we should ask people to make questions as homework.

Other camps will say homework should be to generate answers and understand how to use AI to generate answers, like using a calculator or CAS like a tool and be able to verify it.

Word problems were a solution to CAS. I don't know what the solution AI is but it has to be found. If it can't be found then there is no reason for the field to exist and no reason for people to study it anymore.

That's just time wasting.

Heard stories of older professors who would do 3x3 matrix inversions by hand in front of the classroom. Going back to my example, doing integration by parts over and over again in front of the students.
