Look at the accuracy numbers and these things clearly don't know much yet, and I'm not about to hand one my hardest work. But you can see where it's going. As quantization and the MoE stuff keeps getting better, "good enough to just run on my own machine" keeps eating into more of what I'm currently paying a frontier lab for. Once a local model can handle like 80% of what I need, the math stops making sense for the subscription.

This isn't really about ownership in the abstract, it's about honest labeling. Owning a copy has never meant you can duplicate it. You can't run off copies of a book you bought, but nobody thinks that means the publisher can take it off your shelf when they stop printing it. The ESA conflates the copyright they keep with the copy you bought. The real difference with live-service games is server dependency, and that's where the dishonesty lives. If a game can't run without an online service the publisher controls, people deserve that caveat before they pay. Don't sell it with the word "Buy" and a one-time price and then treat it like a subscription you can end. This bill just forces that honesty: notice, an offline patch, or a refund.

I’ve never really understood why electric cars need to look so visually different from gas cars. I feel like if more EVs just looked like normal, great-looking cars, a lot more people would probably be interested in buying them.

This is really cool. I love how much detail you went into explaining the setup and walking through each piece of the simulation. Definitely bookmarking this to play around with later!

Definitely before my time working on computers... but I remember seeing this font in old computer magazines I came across when I was young and always thought it was really cool.
