You are the only one wasting time by giving dumbass avoidance advice instead of telling us what you know.

… What insider information do you have and why do you want to keep us ignorant???

The question was, “why is this a technical limitation?” Not, “what should I do to work around the limitation?”.

The only problem the Luddites had is they went and busted the machines instead of the rich owners’ kneecaps.

If you say, “they did that too!” Well, NOT ENOUGH!!

Marketing and executive work shares many similarities with being in first grade. Flashy colors and stupid slogans go pretty far when the target has a child’s brain.

… getting most of my apps through snap…

You poor soul.

Governments have a magical income source called “taxes”. Weird, I know.

“Swap space that lives in RAM” No… just … no. Swap is for when RAM runs out/low. It literally cannot live in RAM…

That’s the role they’re currently playing, but not the one they were tasked with.

What “agenda” are you posting? You’re just nay-saying.

Go eat hay elsewhere with that attitude.

Notice how I said “commercially profit” too. Read all the words next time.

Also LLMs do not “learn” anything, you idiot. That’s the entire point. They mathematically blender things. They DO NOT learn and create.

Yea OK they’re fucked. I really really doubt they’ll be able to claim the data is solely comprised of the open works saved within that database. The only way they’d be able to get away with it is if they’ve meticulously harvested the data such that they only ever retrieved the open works or public domain works.

Anything not in that list or otherwise made available solely via their nonprofit efforts is going to be ammo in the lawsuit. Ammo that will hit its target.

I think that would depend on how intentional the open port was.

If it’s something there and advertised, even if mentioned in one place in some archaic document, they’d probably be fine just for accessing it.

Though that would only absolve them of acquisition issues. If they’re using someone else’s work for profit, there is almost certainly enough room for the lawsuit.

Only a select few licenses even allow for open and unrestricted commercial use. Especially if the data itself is the licensed thing, since valuable data is far easier to convert than something like source code.

I mean… it’ll all come down to how they accessed the data. If they had a public portal and no EULA, they can push rocks. If the data wasn’t public or the ‘theives’ had to use non-standard channels, or otherwise violated an EULA, they’re likely screwed. Especially if they had to go through abnormal channels.

I know their data can be accessed publicly, but I’m pretty sure it’s under license. You cannot just use any old thing found in public… That’s the biggest reasons the AI models are technically theft: they weren’t licensed to commercially profit off of 99.99% of the things their LLMs are trained on, but the law and politicians are WAY behind the times. Commercial data they’d normally have to pay for is suddenly magically OK when laundered through an LLM…

Keep in mind data recovery vs drive size. Getting past ~16TB drives, it starts to become a question of whether the rest would be able to survive a restore of a failed drive if any are going to have remotely similar endurance. Obviously, the answer is going to be “yes” most of the time, but at a certain point, there are deminishing returns on the cost of the drives to where even a one to one price increase in the HDD per size might not be worth it all the same.

Kinda’ a moot point if you’re not going to raid them in any way for reliability, but worth a thought.

I’ve described this terribly, but Level1tech on YT talks about it sometimes in reviews.

To get to 0.01 error, you’d need to add up trillions of trillions of floating point errors. It will not happen solely because of floating point unless you’re doing such crazy math that you shouldn’t be using primitives in the first place.

Floating point error? Yeaahhh no. No. Just… no. That is NEVER as big as 0.01 unless the number is also insanely massive.

The error is relative in scale. It’s not magically significant fractions off.

I’m not saying don’t criticize it. I’m saying even understand what it’s trying to do before you start whining about how it doesn’t work.

This was always, ALWAYS going to happen. That was the plan. The idea isn’t to magically solve all of Reddit’s problems, but to decentralize the product. It’s the same product, OF COURSE it has nearly the same identical flaws on a per-instance basis.

The entire point is the federation and choice, NOT some mystical idea of a Reddit without Reddit problems. That’s just stupid expectations.

Ahh yes, the ability to have different communities with different rules is WORSE than a monolith that bans anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader…

Your views are completely ignorant to what the entire point of the fediverse even is. If you want to go live under a king that can have you killed for frowning at him … leave. No one is keeping you here against your will.

Possibly, though for now, they’ve worked with the ad blocker devs and kept everything working WITH v3 in FireFox. Google will not do it in Chrome because defeating the ad blockees is the point.

Capitalists do nothing for free because they are callous, heartless monsters.
