Just because someone has a high net worth does not mean they are not trying to scam people, and it is good to be on the lookout for that.
Every human being is self-interested, at least to some degree. So, it is perfectly expected that he seeks money, fame, status, power, sex, etc.
But he doesn't seem to exhibit these to an abnormal degree, and in any event, you can just evaluate his claims based on evidence and logic and they either succeed or fail.
Just because the Wright Brothers were selling airplanes doesn't mean that they didn't fly.
open hardware to me means that you have access to all of the specifications for building the hardware. Things like when the laptop company Framework posts github repos full of CAD models. Or, initiatives like RISC V.
And, alongside that, there's also open firmware.
Unlocked hardware is maybe what I would call hardware that enables swapping out the software. Although, historically, we didn't even need a term for that, because that was the default aside from outliers like Apple.
The panopticon concept from Bentham was interesting because even if there was only a small chance that you might be observed, at any given time, then people would act as if they were being observed. Even if they weren't.
We have had that kind of system, now, for just about everything. Not just from the Big Brother direction, but also the Little Brother direction. At any time, a mob of people might decide to pull up your old digital footprint and condemn you for it.
Likewise, even before AI, at any time the IRS could decide to audit your past tax filings, or data breaches could expose your personal secrets, or street camera can nab you for a traffic violation, or someone could decide to pull up surveillance footage and get you for something, and so on.
The exact degree of difference between the two systems is significant, but much of the marginal psychological burden of such things has already been paid by everyone living in industrial civilization. And, as with the panopticon, just the small chances of active monitoring already provided 80% of the sought-after result.
Indeed, that kind of condition is what people like Ted Kaczynski were so bothered by decades ago.
Those living in the epicenters of civilization, like those in the largest cities, have basically been under almost constant surveillance now for decades.
yea, but those users can still upgrade to 6.7 which isn't even out yet, and then also remain on that as a supported release for a significant amount of time.
And you'd have to balance all this against the wealth of severe X security bugs that have been coming out even just this week, and the maintenance burden of supporting it in a volunteer project with limited backing.
There's an argument that they are being too conservative. Other DEs like GNOME have already dropped X.
It is the standard, and is extremely flexible. It was probably the wrong framework for most use-cases, which are often just CRUD screens. But, we are in an AI world now, so probably Javascript in general and even Typescript is starting to become the wrong move. Programming languages and frameworks which offer a ton of guarantees is what you need, now. In my humble opinion.
So, the problem is that he feels strongly about not incentivizing what he considers sexual exploitation. If he had the reverse position, then suddenly you would feel more positively about his identity group?
My understanding is that inference (running existing models) is around 1/4th of the average compute budget for AI companies. Training new models takes up about 3/4ths.
As such, using only 11% of their GPUs indicates that they've elected not to do as much training as they are capable of.
Is there any danger of transplanting organs into you that have genes which signal not to develop a brain? Would those genes potentially affect your actual brain?
And we must remember that 6G is in the final stages of development, which has peak speeds of 1 Tbps.
