  • Actual health insurance is literally illegal in the USA. It’s all some sort of partially pre-paid health subscription crap that you get punished for not buying. Every time the government steps in the help they make it worse, even as far back as WW2 with “salary caps” leading to extra non-monetary incentives, like medical insurance, company car, etc. Then the government gives business tax breaks to provide insurance making it more expensive for an individual to buy so now your health is tied to your work. Then they help by… etc. etc. etc.

    edit: You know down voting something doesn’t make it untrue? This is true whether you like it or not.

    Every time I ask for “capitalism” problems I get answers about what the government does.

    “too big to fail”? Government bailouts.

    “antitrust”? Government granted monopolies and making the laws so that barriers to entry are too big.

    “police shootings” Government gang.

    “inflation”? Government monetary policy.

    “colonization”? Government expansion

    “not enough social programs”? Government policy.

    Then you’ve got the sub-70s who go on about “exploitation” which is rooted entirely in fiction.

    Life requires work. All life everywhere. Humans aren’t exempt from this; demanding that others do all your work and provide for you or free isn’t going to work.

    Some of these people would complain that they have to chew their own food.

    People forget that capitalism has lifted literally billions of people out of poverty, it’s advanced our technology to where it’s basically magic. It increased the amount of food we can grow with fewer people allowing people to move past subsistence farming (which many socialist countries reverted to).

    Capitalism uses people greed to provide better, cheaper, faster versions of things…

    Then the government gets involved and instead of blaming the government they’re told to blame capitalism, so they do.


  • Yeah, for enterprise you aren’t going to roll it out yourself. They’d use a partner company to help you set it up and configure it for their needs to ensure that it can continue to scale and provide monitoring solutions. It’s too much for one person to do that.

    Where are you hosting it? Onsite? Megacorporation’s clod solution? Your cable line? What’s your data recovery plan? 200+ users can generate a lot of data. What’s the security plan? You do know how to harden every aspect of each subsystem, right? What’s the monitoring plan? Not just “is it down” but way more granular for each subsystem. How many tech and phone support people will be on call to help?

    You could probably roll it out in a way that would work, but at that scale you should really be using a pro. Especially for a “friend”. Don’t want a tech problem to kill that friendship.

    Works the same as M-b for me (backwards-word)

    Make sure your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc contains

    # mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving
    
    "\e[1;5C": forward-word
    
    "\e[1;5D": backward-word
    
    "\e[5C": forward-word
    
    "\e[5D": backward-word
    
    "\e\e[C": forward-word
    
    "\e\e[D": backward-word`
    

  • Most of this stems from a misunderstand of how LLM work.

    The original work is not stored anywhere. No copy of it has been made. Just tons and tons of statistics used to inform models.

    Since there is no copy there is no violation of copyright. Again, no copy of the book is getting made. The content of the books is not stored “verbatim”. The book is not copied. I don’t know how many other ways to put this.

    Summarizing a book also does not require one to have “read” it, contrary to the complaint. I never read “The DaVinci Code”, but I can give a summary of it.

    With assertions in the complaint being clearly false it’s hard to take it seriously and it’ll get chucked the first time a judge has to deal with it.

    Maybe Silverman would have a point if it were standard practice to pay royalties to people you get inspiration from. But she doesn’t pay everyone who wrote anything she read, said anything she heard, or other comedians who influenced her. So why should someone influenced by her pay?

    If I read 100,000 books how do you determine “which one” I got inspiration from? Same situation here.
