“If your corrective action depends on people remembering a conversation from six months ago, you don't have a corrective action. You have organizational folklore.”

I think i’m going to call our ticket support system “folklore” from now on. It sure is used that way.


What you should have done is install a webcam, connect it to some SuperMarket AI App Api (tm) and supply your credit card info. Now you never have to worry about food anymore. :)

I love being alone. I'm never lonely. Maybe i'm crazy.

Making lots of money protects the children of the shareholders from being poor. Perhaps even their childrens children. Or their childrens childrens children. /s

"Do I need to flash a new UEFI image on the motherboard, to enable ReBAR on the GPU ? Yes, this is how it works for Turing GPUs (GTX 1600 / RTX 2000)."

Sounds scary. Like there is a good chance to brick the motherboard permanently. I think i'm going to skip this for my ye olde pc with crappy GTX 1660 Ti card. Can't afford a new system.


>GTX 1660 Ti

reports on github show 0% speedup for 1xxx series


Thank you for your response. No flashing necessary for my setup.

just did it, worked perfectly from the guides on my MSI motherboard. Only scary moment was the actual bios flashing, because it took a small while and you shouldn't touch anything around you that risks blowing a fuse.

"The question of whether AI firms can legally use copyrighted material to train AI has no clear answer, but judges have been largely favorable to AI companies’ arguments that training constitutes “fair use.” This legal rule lets people use copyrighted work without permission in certain cases, like parody, news reporting, or criticism. Earlier this month, the Trump administration contributed a brief in defense of OpenAI’s unlicensed use of copyrighted material to train its LLMs. "

So training can make it legal as well. Interesting...


"It is stealing. A human paid for the book, compensated the author and learnt from it."

I went to the library. Didn't pay a cent.

Now what?


Library paid the authors.

> Didn't pay a cent.

Taxpayers did pay on your behalf by funding the Library via the Government (if Library is public).

Nothing is free. Except ofcourse stealing, which is free.


Do you not think that stealing requires the original owner to lose access?

If I sneak into your home, take apart the coffee machine, measure everything, put it back together and go home and build a copy to have my own, did I steal your coffee machine?

Can we not just stick to calling it copyright infringement?


> Do you not think that stealing requires the original owner to lose access?

No.

> If I sneak into your home, take apart the coffee machine, measure everything, put it back together and go home and build a copy to have my own, did I steal your coffee machine?

Not mine. But the company that made the coffee machine. It is stealing IP.

> Can we not just stick to calling it copyright infringement?

It is just a fancy way of saying you stole someone's IP. You can call it infringement if it makes you feel good. But the act is the same end of the day.


Sunshine, air, wind, gravity, radioactivity, public domain, knowledge passed on

I would not classify sunshine and air as "free". Sunshine requires the Sun to undergo continuous fusion. It is invaluable as opposed to "free". Air is invaluable asset too. Without both we would be dead. The price of both is literally price of my being alive every second of my existence.

Public domain on the other hand is legally only possible if/when copyright has expired. That means the owner has enjoyed proceeds from copyright protection for more than his own lifetime. That is fair. It is still not comparable.

EDIT: since you tacked on more like "wind, gravity, radioactivity" etc, I would still not classify them as "free". They are invaluable to very existence of life.

"Knowledge passed on" is also after someone (in ancestry) has paid for it through blood, sweat and tears. It isn't "free". "Public domain" is legally recognized form of "knowledge passed on".


They all have “some price”, because of universal laws, but i doubt you would be friends with a corporate entity claiming the ip of them.

> but i doubt you would be friends with a corporate entity claiming the ip of them.

They can't claim. That's the point. They are an invaluable resource precisely because they cannot be OWNED by anyone. They are not FREE.

Hence why even corporate entities that deal with solar, wind etc talking about "HARNESSING" energy. They don't talk about OWNERSHIP of energy.


Point taken. Thank you.

Person entering coffee shop:

"So what is the WiFI password here?"

"You sure would to like to know that eh you effing hipster"

"Does that start with a capital Y?"

"Yes. No spaces."


Rocketjump! The wife password is four words all uppercase.

"Also make sure not to run backups at 2AM or 3AM, or things may get scary."

I never though of daylight savings times causing such an issue. Learned something today.


I wonder what we will do with the discarded data centers and its hardware..

Copper can be stole, but that's already in progress.
