They still made a bunch of copies and reused it to train multiple models after making the first copy. Unless they copy and destroy a book each time they use it as as training sample

And what if you lose? Or your lawsuit has no real impact?

> charge 0.25%

Do they? I wouldn’t be surprised if their margin was 0.25% but they‘d still be charging it on top of the benchmark rate (~4.8% now) otherwise they’d be losing a lot of money overtime

> I eventually have to come up with the $10

Or you never do that. When you die the cost basis is adjusted and you children don’t have to pay any taxes even if they sell.

But, yeah since it’s not actual income taxing it makes no sense. IMHO a wealth tax above a certain (high) threshold would be far more reasonable

> why would anyone out of blue ask such question

I would certainly expect any person to have the same reaction.

> So, it started its chain of thought with "Interpreting the riddle" (smart!).

How is that smarter than intuitively arriving at the correct answer without having to explicitly list the intermediate step? Being able to reasonably accurately judge the complexity of a problem with minimal effort seems “smarter” to me.

I’d assume that drilling a tunnel under a mountain would be significantly cheaper than digging one in a densely inhabited city (in a seismically active area).

> So, again, it's not at all clear that AMD being in the compute GPU game is the automatic win for them in the future. There's

You’re right about that but it seems that it’s pretty clear that not being in the compute GPU game is an automatic loss for them (look at their recent revenue growth in the past quarter and two by in each sector)

Because their current market valuation was massively inflated because of the AI/GPU boom and/or bubble?

In rational world their stock price would collapse if they don’t focus on it and are unable to deliver anything competitive in the upcoming year or two

> of the market where they're doing much better than nVidia?

So the market that’s hardly growing, Nvidia is not competing in and Intel still has bigger market share and is catching up performance wise? AMD’s valuation is this highly only because they are seen as the only company that could directly compete with Nvidia in the data center GPU market.

> Same could be said about Moore’s Law and progression of silicon based processor advancements. Yet it has held true.

Not an argument. Plenty of things seemed like they will progress/grow exponentially when they were invented yet they didn’t.

> Same applies for AI

Perhaps, but why?

> unlike other countries

Unlike many other countries. I live in Europe and certainly don’t need provide an ID without a cause or even carry one with myself

> My M1 beats most x86 machines even after it throttles and it’s over three years old now

I doubt that. Last gen Intel/AMD cpus are pretty fast these days.

> is slim, full metal build, 2.5k 16:10 IPS screen

I’m not sure you can get something like that for $800?

> some people are stuck with the impression that all Windows laptops are stuck in 2006

No, you can can certainly get very nice Windows laptops for 30% less than equivalent mac or so. I was only doubting the price

> ~800 Euros sticker price, no special promotion or sale. That seemed like a good deal to me.

Sure but at that level you usually get poor build quality and/or thick plasticky chasis and a horrible screen

> Thinkpad T14 Gen 4

It would still have a garbage-tier (relative to mac) 1080p screen? Of course upgrade to OLED is only ~$250 which isn’t that bad

The E15 is way too plasticky for it to be a fair comparison also the screen is awful.

> But the prices I mentioned is before you even do that!

While it’s on sale sure. Otherwise the price is much, much higher https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/configurator/cto/index.html?bun...

> with 16GB of RAM

Which is not a lot.

> superior build quality

Is that really true? There are PC laptops with comparable or only slightly inferior build quality.

> And on top of that it runs completely silently.

That great. But it depends on your use case, thermal throttling can certainly be an issue. Also Intel/AMD have mostly caught up performance wise.

> 500$ Dell/HP that constantly has issues because there's no budget

So they wouldn’t buy any macOS licenses unless they are <$50 either? Which makes it totally not worth it and would result in a significant decline in revenue for Apple

They would probably earn more money from selling those 20 macs than 200+ official hackintosh licenses.

They would cannibalize their hardware products and with the massive margin (especially on upgrades) that’s not worth it at all. The App Store revenue is peanuts (on macOS but I would assume on iOS as well relative to hw sales).

I’m not sure it has much to do with culture but almost everything with cost.

Missiles are extremely expensive and you’ll soon run out of them during a long war of attrition (especially in a symmetrical conflict like in Ukraine)

Ukraine wasn’t real a nuclear power though. They some of Soviet arsenal and some facilities required to maintain but it would have required significant investment to make it actually usable longterm. That was totally unfeasible during the economic collapse of the early 90s

> They were probably considerably stupider.

What makes you say that?

Because of reoffending risk?

I mean if you killed someone specific for specific reasons the likelihood of you murdered a random person for no reason is somewhat low. Not so if you’re a child molester. How do you even ensure that they can never get jobs related to children let alone be near them without a registry..

Did this actually ever happen to anyone recently? I assumed it’s just mostly a myth

> I think Canada has laws against a landlord doing this type of thing, maybe up to a percentage. Also, Not all landlords are that shitty.

Doesn’t matter. Prices would still go up over time as demand increases while supply stays the same.

It should be more than obvious to everyone that at the very least it will further inflate housing prices because supply is heavily restricted (something that doesn’t apply to groceries and most other goods).

> In the last 1k years, we've upset the apple cart and may destroy the world as we know and need it. We _can_ coexist in our environment without utterly destroying it in 40k years - but we are not.

It’s extremely unlikely that whatever we do to the environment will decrease QoL in developed countries below that which was experienced by the Australian aboriginals (when measured by child mortality, life expectancy, access to stuff etc.) though.

You could just select the accent you want to learn. I assume the purpose of such a tool would be for 2nd language speakers to learn to imitate English spoken in a specific area and/or social/cultural class.

And while yeah, there might be multiple “correct” way to pronounce the same word mixing Scottish, Midwestern, Irish, RP etc. English in your every sentence wouldn’t be ideal.

Also back in the day tech was moving fast (i.e. UX and frontend would become outdated in a year if not months) and you didn’t to compete with multi-billion dollar companies.

> As it stands I don't make any money on this, I just do it for fun. But with a site like non.io there's no reason for me _not_ to post my content there.

I’m obviously not targeting this at you but a business model likes this (paying fractions of a penny per upvote) is not likely to attract high quality content. In fact the opposite it incentives a quantity over quality approach (i.e. content has to be just good enough to get upvoted spending more effort is wasted)

macOS clearly has file system isolation though. Sandboxes apps can’t write/read anything outside without an explicit permission.
