Snark aside, thanks for clarifying which kind of ip theft was meant, because this is not the kind of ip theft that is normally associated with training models.
It would have been incredibly impressive if they managed to train it without stealing acquiring tons of data.
I was thinking about the training data, of which you need massive amounts to train. And as far as I know, pretty much all companies have worked on a scraping basis, rather than paying for (or even asking for).
I guess there's a market for it nevertheless, because in stoked for the new pebble steel.
I'm still wearing mine every day. I checked out the Bangle, but compared to the pebble it just looks like a cheap kids toy to me. At the same time, other good-looking smartwatches are either neutered in functionality, or send all your data to the cloud (or both). Also: yay, physical buttons instead of just touch screen!
To me it reads like "I'm going to move abroad if x wins the elections."
Actions speak louder than words, but even then I don't really care what you do in your personal life. Wake me if you need help or have something useful to share.
I'm sorry I have to spell this out for you, but in other parts of the world WhatsApp is The messenger. As in, since companies are easier to approach though it than, say email.
Bundle that with the network effect, and it's effectively self-ostracising to go without.
Having said that, I still do that, but I'm antisocial, and am okay with being excluded from group chats. But at least I don't go around showcasing my ignorance/incomprehension at how other people do things differently.
I think it's more useful to take their points at their own merit, rather than factor in who said it. Who cares if they said they were leaving, or if they torture puppies in their spare time. There's no need to make it personal - feedback is feedback.
IMHO a user shouldn't have to know about federation or how it works - if lemmy wants widespread adoption, tackling these issues will help.
Or option C: there's a discussion going on about an open source project, and you're starting a discussion about the semantics of the word fascist/asshole, without taking a clear stance on what you mean. I didn't downvote you, but I also have no idea what you were going for with that statement. It seems unrelated.
For the past half hour I tried to read into what's happened, and who the supposed fascists are, and these are the facts I managed to uncover. I hope it will serve anyone who reads this well:
Communities are gonna drama.
Moderating is hard and (paraphrasing Douglas Adams) anyone who wants to do it, shouldn't be allowed to.
I really don't care enough to waste more time on this.
Obviously he would say that - "don't buy from our competitor". But he's not wrong, nvidia is pretty much near a monopoly regarding hardware for training and inference. It would be better for [everyone who's not nvidia] if there was more competition and options.
You can either pick a battle that you cannot win (assuming you're not the one in charge of the many millions such a migration would cost). You can just deal with it, or you can look for better circumstances.
You say you're convincing people, management sees a trouble maker who's spreading unhappiness.
In my opinion, it's better to save your energy for something where it can make a change, not a futile attempt at trying to make an institute drop Outlook or Teams, or whatever shitty software we're talking about.
That's nice, dear.
