They're waiting for OpenAI and Anthropic's bubble to burst most likely and then they can acquire that talent for a song.

Most of those things involve tracking users I imagine but if there's any that don't, go for it.

It hits a database with 100M records. The index doesn't fit in RAM. Appreciate relevant feedback always but you can talk a long walk off a short STFU.

I disagree. They're renting out GPUs to other providers because they realize it's a long game that they're in a better position to win because they control infrastructure as well as hardware.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

FYI huggingface refers to the alien from the Aliens movies that we need to prevent from reaching earth at any cost because it means the end of civilization.

Just checking in because y'all sound good with that.

It reminds me of that French fire-fighter who threw caution to the wind in rescuing me and my precious cat Lulu from our flat when it was engulfed in flames. He sadly perished in that fire but I will never forget him.

I can't recall his name but I think he had a mustache.

Sure but these are all the same thing as cookies.

And BYW, browser headers can even be a violation if it's determined that you are using them for tracking users in a way that violates ePrivacy demands.

It's still a cookies thing.

And it will be largely unnoticed by site operators because who can be expected to edge case that into their logic?

> Apparently the eu official website really needs to track you then.

No, they don't really need to track you, that's why it requires consent to do it.

They are doing exactly what they say.

In other words, they're not saying don't track your visitors. They're saying get consent first.

Is there any other way to get that data? It's clearly about cookies but it's specifically about tracking cookies.

Actually you can't send any cookie that is not essential to the operation of the website without consent and that would include analytics regardless of PII. same for pixel tracking / fingerprinting, it's all a no-no.

I wouldn't need a cache if my $6 server could handle 1M hits a day.

I don't think what place you're in matters anymore when a small lab like Moonshot can come in and take the top spot out of nowhere.

The only way crypto touches lawyers that I can think of is smart contracts, and that's been.. minimally impactful at most.

It's a cache. My tiny websites couldn't survive getting hammered by AI bots without them.

> a hammer is still a deterministic tool, and even though we don't even fully understand everything about physics

Mid-swing in hammer-space you are in a hyper-position as to hitting your thumb or not, are you not?

You can put the app url in the browser and it will recursively open itself. I got two deep before I got scared.

It's not the model weights people are panicking over losing access to though. It's the compute.
