If they are using GPL code, shouldn’t they also release their source code?

See my post above in the thread where I show the laws I am talking about and cite source.

This article summarizes the subsidies I’m talking about. Here’s an excerpt:

For now, the important point is that trucks generally are more profitable than cars thanks to two big government incentives, both of them historical footnotes.

The first is the so-called chicken tax, a 25 percent tariff imposed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 on foreign-built work vehicles as part of a chicken-related trade war with Europe. If you’re making a pickup or cargo van in the United States, profits should be higher, because foreign factories can’t come close to undercutting you on price.

The second incentive lies in the fine print of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards adopted in 1975, Gerald Ford’s reluctant response to a crippling Middle East oil embargo that sent gas prices soaring. To protect American commerce, work trucks and light trucks were subject to less-strict CAFE standards than family sedans. Trucks are also exempt from the 1978 gas guzzler tax, which adds $1,000 to $7,700 to the price of sedans that get 22.5 or fewer miles to the gallon.

That’s because the USA subsidizes bigger trucks as “work vehicles”. This practice needs to stop and they need to be taxed more than smaller vehicles.

Until his profile gets high enough that they find some permit he doesn’t have and he gets shut down.

I was working tech in the Bay Area in the '90s, I remember it well.

Probably you are right, but so far no one has demonstrated any LLM that can be controlled within these tight types of adjustments and it feels like it might be something that the technology just never is able to do. We might have to wait for a whole new generation of technology for this.

It will be really interesting to see how long it actually takes before this can be done accurately enough to execute a directors vision and high quality enough to actually make a film from. It could be anything from a few months to decades, it’s so hard to know how much we are actually able to control these models to get them to do what we really want accurately enough.

This would really be the ultimate fuck you to everyone if they did this. I sort of wish they would so we’d all stop giving them all our personal data.

Not clear from this what the difference is between a TPU and an LPU.

Yes, however recruiters see someone like this and see a great opportunity to fill their quota, so it all balances out.

There are free OS alternatives out there (which I suspect you already use but just want to poop on other’s parade).

I assume that if someone’s already using Windows, a paid OS, they are willing to pay $2 to make it usable.

Install this. You will thank me later.

Until governments get serious about trust busting, it will keep happening. Companies that don’t have to compete enshittify.

Upvoted for the cat

Yes RSS came back strong in my life after Reddit and Twitter shit the bed.

It does tend to sort by recent, but to me that’s its strength. It makes no effort to curate the feed, it gives me all the articles from the sources I choose in order and that’s it. So while I still use Lemmy for the “popular”, RSS tends to deliver me deep niche content that may not be popular but is very interesting to me.

And also so much content is overlooked by sites like Reddit and Lemmy, that often it is stuff that’s popular if I post it, but no one’s gotten to it yet. It tends to be more up to date because you don’t have to wait for things to get voted to the front page

For me the only use case for this has been when I’m really tired and want to watch while lying flat on my back. Unfortunately most of the apps don’t even support this. But Netflix actually did.

I wonder if this move will change that, at least in the EU?
