this also applies to proprietary black box software. You can still test it, interact with it

the difference is, that a model is literally just numbers.

proprietary software is data and code, and while it's true that code is data, the difference is that some data is intended to be for control flow, while in a model it is all the same stuff.

You can point to any single part of an LLM's model and say "this here is a weight" but if you point to any single part of a binary file you will have no idea what you're looking at.

And yes, you could decompile the binary, but that still doesn't give you the entire picture, and all proprietary software does the shady shit on servers these days anyway so you're not even going to find anything interesting.

it isn't really just numbers though.

what if i want to change out the middle part of the training, and then still run the rest as before? or if i want to cull a bunch of the initial training set?

a binary is also just numbers, but we know there's other parts to it

Or you can just plug monitors into usb-c ports using usb-c cables without any special hdmi cables.

but it is perfectly legal when federal officers lie themselves?

Generally yes, unfortunately, with very narrow exceptions. Not all countries follow this rule, but the US does, and it’s certainly not alone in this respect.

non-failed companies may still not want 3rd parties in their chat

could a charging site have a buffer of fast charging batteries?

Yes, but have you ever seen 8 queues of cars, about 8-10 cars in each, at Sams Club or Costco buying gas? You'd need a awful lot of battery buffer to keep up with that kind of demand. At some point you'd deplete the batteries and be stuck with charging at whatever rate the grid connection could deliver.

With EVs, most of your charging should be done at home, with fast charging mostly just existing for trips.

I know not everyone can charge at home (especially if you live in an apartment), but the solution to that is pretty straightforward and a lot more convenient compared with trying to scale up fast charging to match petrol stations.

First, that exact situation simply doesn't have an equivalent in the EV world. Quite a lot of people should be able to charge elsewhere (at home, at work, on the street).

Second, wow, I live in Europe and I have never seen 64+ cars queueing at a single station. If I saw 15, I'd be wondering what the hell happened.

Lots of people (apartment dwellers) cannot charge at home. Charging at work or on the street is still a very uncommon option here (USA).

I’m an apartment dwelling EV owner, so I’m well aware of that, but even here, where high density housing is pretty common, at least 50% people could theoretically charge at home with no or minimal adjustments. And on top of that, workplace and street charging should follow EV adoption, it’s not like either EVs or the infrastructure are going to appear overnight.

by email you mean pop3, imap and smtp or the heavy html web client?

I doubt email would work, even with imap or pop3. I get a lot of spam per day, and imap clients typically download unread messages.

I guess you could configure it not to do that, or write your own imap client with better behavior -- on your 2G smartphone.

GPS tries to cover the whole globe, app uses GPS to get location. Ship probably has internet connection in the from of wifi or a cell tower with a starlink or other sattelite backbone link and app's traffic is encrypted so ships firewalls cannot easily block this

The term is called "Subject of The Crown"

NL VPNs will bend the knee to EU regulation

One click its Algeria, or Singapore, or Canada.

We can move much faster then they can legislate.

First they came for the websites but I used vpns

Then they came for vpn clients but I used free software

Then they came for the payment methods but I used bitcoin

Then they blocked UDP at the isp but I used satelites doe linked elsewhere

Then they just came for me but nobody cared as nobody else was affected

Source?

Also how is it related to the EU if it only affects certain places? Could have just said certain places in Europe

Illegal would by a hyperbole. But the noose is tightening a bit.

There are upcoming limits for cash transactions (10K, countries can opt to go lower), and strong requirements for identity verification at 3K or more euros in cash.

See: https://www.deloittelegal.de/dl/en/services/legal/perspectiv...

EDIT: The other side of the coin is that banks are _required_ to give legal residents of a country a basic account that can be used for payments.

Also illegal in Denmark. You need a NemKonto by law. Also making cash payments over 15000 is illegal since 2024. So you can't make a large purchase without a bank transfer.

Such a huge invasion of privacy.

Not illegal per se in Germany but you won't find a legal job that doesn't require you to have a bank account. Benefits will also only be paid electronically (exceptions for some asylum seekers apply).

You also cannot get a tax refund or pay taxes without a bank account.

Spain: you must be paid through a bank if you

-have a steady contract -are paid more than 1000€ for a job (say you are self-employed).

Completely illegal in Spain if you have a paid job.

Not sure how it works in countries that didn't go through 80 years of socialism, but I assume that you're saying that in those countries, your salary is required to go to your bank account and can't be paid in cash. Then you can still pretty much "stick to cash" by withdrawing the whole thing on your payday. But then idk, maybe everyone in those countries is aware of the risks related to keeping their money in a bank, it's just the internet banking that introduces the new ones for them.

>Then you can still pretty much "stick to cash" by withdrawing the whole thing on your payday.

Not if you want to make a purchase beyond a small amount, like $500 or $1000. Then it has to be through some fucking bank or CC.

All withdrawals of more than 1000€ in Spain must be accounted for and more than 5000€ must be authorized.

You "may" but maybe you "cannot".
