This site is a transphobic, right wing, capitalist shithole. Go elsewhere if you value your mental health.

Does C also have a compiler that turns C code into assembly before the real runtime does its work?

What do you think ahead of time compilation is?

Distilling a model is a method that can push the entire market to low margins and prevent companies from making money off such research

Then it's on Anthropic to actually price their models accordingly so that distilling isn't profitable. Why does this need a legal remedy when market forces could easily resolve this?

Is it in the interest of the USA, probably no

Good. The world needs to diversify away from dependence on US technology.

Copyright law and IP law is not the same although everyone seem to conflate the two.

Copyright law is a subset of IP law. What IP is being infringed upon here?

Search engines for example historically ignored copyright law by copying excerpts or serving other site images

Excerpts are often considered fair use, but it depends on country.

it doesn't mean someone copying Google's code has some moral frepass

Nobody copied Anthropic's code. They used it's output to train another model. At most they violated some terms of service.

Did they maybe abuse Anthropic's subsidised pricing? Sure. But that's what happens in a free market if you sell below cost.

But part of the point of mathematics is human understanding. I think most would be willing to accept the proof. They just wouldn't think it's nearly as useful as one that could be understood.

Although in situ Raman analyses cannot determine whether these organics denote abiotic or biotic sources, the organic association with both depositional and diagenetic minerals and the detection of organics on the martian surface suggests that the organics observed ubiquitously at the Bright Angel outcrop may be resistant to radiation and oxidation or have been relatively recently exposed.

was there for some good reason (security?).

To cover the myriad of (sometimes downright stupid) requirements that large enterprises have.

In this case, it was not used in a jocular way. It was a British person demonstrating their complete and utter ignorance of the only country they share a land border with, and I will call them out on that any day of the week.

No, I'm saying that it's associated with a certain outdated and bigoted attitude toward the Irish.

Using Éire in English, would be seen as odd. You wouldn't say Deutschland or Danmark.

If I change the rest of the sentence to Na Gaeilge will that be better.

No. And you've used the genitive instead of nominative there, so I have some doubts that you could.

You can own multiple guns and store them at your residence in Denmark. I know a couple of people who do so, admittedly both ex-military.

This isn't limited to shotguns or bolt action rifles for hunting. You can own up to six handguns.

You do need to be licensed however, and given Andersen's history he probably wouldn't be permitted.

On a similar note:

There was a period post-Brexit when I hadn't moved away from Ireland yet during which I also did my best to avoid UK produced goods too.

Now that was a lot harder though due to the UK still being in the single market at the time, and on top of that just how integrated supply chains between the north and the rest of Ireland are.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the UK is moving back toward sanity though.

Actually, it's not. Speaking from experience. I'm a sample size of one, but that's still one better than your extrapolation from zero.

One of the local supermarket chains here in Denmark (Salling Group) even puts a star on the price tag for products of European origin.

For larger purchases, I'm doing research on the product anyway.

I still sometimes buy American at times; sometimes there's no avoiding it for certain items. But on the whole avoiding American goods isn't that hard, and doesn't require much effort.

Linux developers should be doing a lot more of this. We should be making everything work better for us without caring how it's going to impact other irrelevant platforms

Linux developers already do. Using a BSD can already be a pain in the arse, thanks to (often poorly thought out) Linux-isms cropping up everywhere.

A fun first project would be something to cultivate bitter almonds, and then isolate the cyanide compounds from them.

I don't know what you'd do with the cyanide compounds. But maybe you could get some inspiration from the current attitude toward "AI" products.

The fact that both our comments are being downvoted is dumb.

Over the last year, the vibe on site has become... concerning.

Yeah, it's always leaned right wing capitalist. That's fine by itself—I like the contrast to my own views at times. I'm a lefty—very left compared to US "left"—but still have some right wing economic sympathies at times and in certain areas. There's actual discussion to be had there!

But recently it seems like this site has gone off the fucking deep end in delusion when it comes to everything. The misogyny and transphobia has started becoming less and less hidden too. This is the first time I've logged in here in over a month, and I've seen my comments today getting flagged for arguing against a person saying that bicyclists have more fatalities on the road—just asking them to cite a fucking source.

What you are saying is not controversial. You're not crazy. This site is just full of fucking idiots who haven't realised they're the next serfs in the reality they're bringing about.

This isn't an example of that. You claimed something in your initial comment. You did not back it up.

I'm asking you to back up your initial claim. If you had addressed it you'd have a point, and that would be a correct example of sealioning.

But you haven't, so don't accuse me of sealioning.

This isn't me arguing in bad faith. This is me asking you to back up the claim you made in your first comment. That's arguing in good faith, if you only you are willing to provide the other side of the argument.

Which you have avoided so far.
