The good news is that there’s nothing stopping us from starting a competitor. Nvidia probably wants to use it to push their graphics cards.

Because the authors may want to take down their models or change the datasets after the fact probably.

Not that it removes from users computers, but at least the primary source can be made unavailable at will

? Github can cost tons of money if you abuse runners

Nvidia also sells super expensive graphics cards. They probably want you to buy a couple of 5090s or a Spark.

They know they can’t shut down the entire self hosted LLM market but they can direct it towards using Nvidia GPUs by making sure llama.cpp devs don’t spend much time on ROCm support, etc. And they probably know that ClosedAI and Anthropic’s days on the frontier are limited.

This whole liberal vs conservative discussion IS an American issue and one they’ve exported to Europe unfortunately. Liberal hasn’t meant what you think it means in over 10 years except in circlejerks and academia

There’s plenty of people who are pro minorities rights and are not capitalists.

Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it’s literally named after Hitler’s favourite composer.

Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don’t matter.

Yes because Russia isn’t always looking for justification for war.

There are multiple countries in Eastern Europe that likely would no longer be independent without NATO. My own home among them.

Neighbours that aren’t in an alliance seem to get invaded. Georgia first, now Ukraine twice.

Russia always finds a genocide or whatever to justify military action. Both Georgia and Ukraine were mentioned as targets all the way back in 1997.

Then perhaps you should travel to other countries?

And when your kind says the things your kind often says, I think you can see why more moderate people consider you about equivalent with the nazis. What to most people means “doesn’t hate minorities and wants everyone to have healthcare” is what tankies seem to hate much more than they hate actual fascists.

Horseshoe seems pretty real tbh.

What I mean is that majority of the time people here are pro copyright infringement and against copyright laws

Funny seeing people on lemmy suddenly defending copyright now lol

How does that change Russia being an imperialist country filled with neonazis of its own?

Wait so you’d prefer Russia shells you AFTER you leave the alliance? Wouldn’t that leave you more vulnerable?

Liberal in modern western political discourse has little to do with capitalism anymore and more about your stance on social issues like LGBT rights, racial equality or healthcare. Half of lemmy pretends not to understand it for some reason but it’s been like that for a few decades.

It’s the result of conservatives using “libtard” and “communist” interchangeably for everyone to the left of Reagan while by the old definition they’re actually liberals.

Languages evolve. Prescriptivism is useless.

Other AI companies can still buy them, they’re just rare because nobody bought them in the first place. They destroy them because scanning them is faster and in some jurisdictions that absolves you from copyright infringement since the amount of copies doesn’t go up

Can’t say I’ve had your experience, Windows always had issues. Think 7 was the least problematic version for me and the last one I remember fondly.

I have a car diagnostics laptop running 8.1 because it doesn’t support legacy boot for 7 and is too weak for 10. That UX was horrendous. Then came 10 which was unusable without an SSD. That sounds like the norm now but back then a lot of people didn’t have them. I’m not even going to mention 11, it came out before the AI craze and has sucked since release.

But the really crazy side of Microsoft is the ERPs. Way too much always changing. Good old systems being retired because they have a worse new one to replace it with, etc.

The URL they posted has the same title as the post here so it’s the source that changed their title after the fact.

Idk, the mosquitoes at my place this year are so plentiful and small (hard to hit) that multiple people have asked me where the fuck those are coming from.

If you live in the suburbs of a big city you don’t know what mosquitoes are. I live next to the forest and this summer the forest is nearly impassable on foot or bicycle apparently. Which kinda sucks because I wanted to go foraging for mushrooms soon.
