Turns out the only thing we are doing is making more and more monopolies, there are no free markets and no choice for buyers. Your 88 brands of toothpaste are owned by two corporations. But yeah.

granted synthetic is closely related to synthesis, but in common parlance synthetic would mean something that is not natural or abiotic in some sense, in case of synthetic data, it should imply data that doesn't occur naturally from human and natural sources. i.e. synthetic data would be exactly the one that is assembled from algorithmic output. granted im not able to explain it as well as i understand it.

I'm hoping this is a typo '191 years ago'. Don't mean to sound pedantic just interested when this was. My friend was in Caltech for his MS + PhD in Electrical engineering from 2008 onwards. I think he graduated in 2014-ish.

I don't really understand this, many Linux distributions like Universal Blue advertise rollbacks as a feature. How is preventing a roll-back a "security feature"?
