It is a tremendously stupid idea, which is why I found it funny (also, it's one of those things where name came first and inspired the rest).

But, to take it seriously for a moment (and I'm not trying to defend it, not a fan of LLMs as most of the people here), is it necessarily lossy? I mean, you basically have to include the 5Gb large model for it to work, and you just move the data from the file to hoping the summary can trigger a correct combination of parameters.

I didn't run any larger tests, and I assume that if you managed to keep the API/function names and behavior, the summary would be actually longer than the actual implementation in most cases anyway, so it's probably not even a compression (especially if you include the model).

It's just a food for thought, it's definitely a bad idea to do something like this, to the point where I'm pretty sure you could get millions from investors if you made a startup working on something like this (and that one already exists), but I do honestly wonder if the fact that you kind of have the data in the model would still count as lossy.

Yeah, I kind of assumed that would probably be the case, and while this kind of reasonable approach to technology, that was highlighted in the book, sounds pretty nice in theory, it does put a lot of power into few hands, which historically (and unfortunately) never works very well.

The only exposure I have with how Amish work is from Newport's Digital Mininalism book, and it sounded pretty reasonable. (Don't know how correct it is, though)

The way he put it, they don't outright ban and refuse all technology. Every time a new tech comes out, they have a few people give it a try and then decide as a community if/how to best use it without sacrificing their core values.

For example - a telephone? We don't want that, because then it would break the sense of community if you could just call anyone, without having to call on them/meet then for dinner, etc. But, we'll have one phone in a village in casr we need to call for outside help in an emergency.

Assuming that's true, I would suspect that especially in regards to medicine, they would be pretty open. But yeah, I guess it absolutely depends on the community, and how cultish/reasonable are the people making these calls.

This is important. Basically, nothing changes. The parties that wanted to (Meta, Google, Microsoft) have already been doing it for the last 5 years.

I'm not defending it, I've been screaming about it every time 2.0 was discussed, especially with people who I know refuse to move away from M$ and Meta, but apparently they don't care that much.

I just hope they will settle on 1.0 passing and fuck off with it being mandatory, so I have at least some place to chat and keep my data.

A reminder that the Lego store has also reportedly paid for a expensive and professional PR damage control agency, which usually operates by slowly changing the general opinion about the case in coments and posts like these. That it might've been his fault a little, that he has done this and that. They know what they're doing, so take any comments about how it he migt not be as right as it seems after all with a grain of salt.

Don't forget the gain of 10000 bucks in the repair shop they're running.

It mentions that Privacy Guides have apps that help with batch-submitting requests to Data brokers for removal of data, but I couldn't find it there. Anyone has a link?

Also, is this something that applies only to the US residents, or is there a similar process for EU people? Most of the guides/services I've seen were US-only.

This is the first time I'm hearing about semver contract. I always assumed the x.y.z versioning was pridever, which was the first definition I found. And that says nothing about backwards compatibility.

So it might as well be the case of the XKCD.

I might've been wrong, see other replies to my comment. It might've been some kind of honor equipment rental, where you can borrow sporting equipment, instead of it being a locker for people to store things in.

But the context of the post is basically the same. City did something nice, people vandalized it :D

Oh, you are right. There seems to be some text on the outside. Might've been just some equipment to borrow.

Ok, it might need more context :D

It might have been just a misinformation, but I've read somewhere that according to some regulations, the requirements for your food to be considered "free ranging" are nowhere near sufficient. Like, you can have a building with (tens of) thousands of chickens, but as long as they have 5x5m of outside ranging space, they are considered free ranging.

If anyone knows more about this, I'd love to learn, but it was pretty eye opening. I wouldn't be surprised if bullshit lobbying managed to secure "wins" like this, tbh.

EDIT: I was kind of wrong, it was a misinformation. I mean, unsurprisingly, aside from "free ranging" label in the US.

EU & UK

• Laying Hens: Max 2,500 hens per hectare outdoors (exactly 4 square meters / 43 sq ft per hen).
  • Source: European Commission Laying Hens Standards
• Meat Chickens: Minimum 1 square meter (10.7 sq ft) of outdoor space per chicken.
  • Source: UK GOV.UK Poultry Meat Marketing Standards

US

• Standard "Free Range": Requires "outdoor access," but specifies no minimum size or quality framework for the space.
  • Source: USDA FSIS Labeling Guideline
• USDA Organic (OLPS Rule): Strictly requires 3 sq ft per laying hen and 2 sq ft per meat chicken outdoors. At least 75% of that space must be actual soil/vegetation.

I would guess that the City of Mississauga has installed public equipment lockers for people to store their things in, and within days, all of them had broken glass because someone has stolen the equipment stored inside by other people.

But I'm just guessing based on the picture. I wouldn't expect the context to be much different, tbh.
