The whole point here is that as an alternative to BOTH AWS/Azure type monster datacenters *and* the old server-in-the-cupboard DIY approach (that really does need those gigabit pipes to work well in 2025) , something like local datacenters run by the local city or state govt or whatever, run at cost price to provide alternatives to the giant world eating super-clouds.

If we all had gigabit pipes, then the host at home thing could be entirely plausible, would just be a case of a bit of software engineering to provide a decent plug and play environment where you just drop a usb key on a suitable comodity server, like a reconned synology or something. But as you note, without those pipes, its not a complete solution.

Sounds a lot like Asset Phoenixing to me. And yes, that is very illegal cos its a liability and tax dodge. You declare bankerupt, "sell" the assets to yourself, then reopen free of tax debts or liabilities. Excepet its still you and the tax man IS coming for his due, possibly with an arrest warrant in tow.

Honestly this sounds like the company is one angry person away from being sued.

Worse, its one angry commissioner away from getting EU'ed. And the EU doesn't f**k about when companies do shit like this to consumers. They'll take all of your toys if you start stealing from customers.

Yeah thats not how LLMs work.

Something like Stockfish absolutely does do something like that. Stockfish is not an LLM, its entire theory of operation is vastly different to how LLMs work.

For the most part LLMs play worse chess than children.

Yeah I think your right. Oh well, poes law is a bitch sometimes :/

The way a lot of other sites deal with that is to just have a 2-3 minute edit timer. Enough time to fix a borked tag and possible unmangle some grammar (we all do it). Add to that if its moderated, the edit window closes, problem solved.

fwiw someone earlier was claiming that a dude lying on a forum is perjury lol

If you look on Twitter you can see that the person that talked as the spokesperson for the company named Tea actively perjured themselves above, because the actual full database is available for download.
All 57+ gb of it, Including every single ID of every person that is on the app and their selfie pic.

How did the judge react to this perjury? Was it during discovery, witness questioning or arguments?

To make a claim about them lying in a courtroom without giving any sorts of links to this clearly juicy escalation seems a bit unfair!

Kinda seems like Yan Le Cunn is geting fscked over too. Dude is one of the major fathers of modern ML and AI. Aaaaand shafted? Considering Yann is a legit actual scientist and not some feckless prompt guy and was responsible for llama and most of the algorithmy shit i FB, seems kinda disloyal of Zuck. Le Cunns made Zuck a stupid amount of money.

No coauthors, barely any referencing. No peer review. No publication. Resurects a disproven theory (ether) without addressing why it was disproven. Never cited.

We have a term for papers like this in the sciences, and your not going to like it.

"Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.â
- Authur Schopenhauer , a miserable old bastard who was none the less right about most things.

Its fine to be fond of your own country, but its a dull and useless thing to think it better than any other country. The simple fact is, the US doesn't have the capacity to entirely manufacture a modern computer, and that particular fact doesn't matter since a slab of silicon has no innate features that cares one iota which particular set of national borders it was made in, nor does the remarkably low unemployment rate in the US (low 4%) particularly justify settling for inferior or expensive to aquire one purely US manufactured, even if it was available.

Oh I would definately not fuck that guy. Putting aside my decidedly vanilla sexual orientation. If I did swing that way, I strongly suspect he'd very much not be my type lol.

The dudes creepy as hell.

Goddamn it. I may have fallen for a troll. Well done I guess.

(And this site drastically needs an edit button to fix my screwed up blockquote tags. Come on slashdot, its 2025, this should have been on your todo list 20 years ago.)

I mean I know right, when you have a political administration that manufactures intel on Russia related to they're political opponent ...
Oh wait, that actually happened.

It is actually wild how many people really do believe tthe Biden (and Obama for some reason, wrong time frame but facts are not really important here ) made it up, despite countless FBI investigations, including by republican lawmakers who somewhat had a stake it it not being true but couldnt deny the evidence, arrests and volumes of documented evidence that actually yes Russia really did interfere with the election and while its not established Trump knew, people in his team most certainly did.

Yeah that really did happen. We live in a weird timeline.

The only reason why the truth isn't widely accepted by the sheeple is the constant MSM conditioning. If everyone knew what we know, the truth would be unstoppable.

Dumber than a bag of rocks.

That is why you cannot win against us in the Social Media, where our voice is strong.

You guys sure make a lot of noise, but its important you understand, nobody likes conspiracy theorists. We don't like how conspiracy theories tore our families up because some dude called Q made a thousand predictions that all where wrong.

We don't like how anti-science activists sabotaged the pandemic response leading to countless deaths and we despise how its sabotaging other health responses now.

And don't think we'll let go how conspiracy grifters made countless folks with poor media literacy paranoid.

There will be a reckoning one of these days. I can assure you of that much.

Just think about it, does it make sense that they could shoot Princess Diana in that Mercedes, but could not manage another Moon landing since Armstrong?

1) She wasn't shot. The car crashed. This isn't controversial.

2) We didn't go back to the moon, because it was expensive and doesn't have a lot of scientific value when probes and rovers are a fraction of the price and work better.

Again. This isn't controversial. Except to crazy people. Are you a crazy person?
