This is not to say your code should be a buggy mess, but 98% bug free when you're a SaaS product and pushing features is certainly better than 100% bug free and losing ground to competitors.

Simply, if the models can think then it is no different than a person reading many books and building something new from their learnings. Digitization is just memory. If the models cannot think then it is meaningless digital regurgitation and plagiarism, not to mention breach of copyright.

The quotes "consistent with copyright's purpose in enabling creativity and fostering scientific progress." and "Like any reader aspiring to be a writer" say, from what I can tell, that the judge has legally ruled the model can think as a human does, and therefore has the legal protections afforded to "creatives."

Simple: demand.

>The value of the tokens is completely and totally dependent on a consensus of crypto miners doing their job within the parameters of the system, assuming you want them to maintain a price and trading volume that's favorable to the token holders.

Number of miners has absolutely nothing to do with trading volumes, not sure where you got that from. Miners don't maintain a price any more than a whale maintains a price.

>If the majority of miners suddenly go bust due to outside circumstances

The rest of the miners would step in and start making more money, actually.

>they decide to conspire together and attack the system, or conspire with some whales to perform a rug pull

Not much of a rug pull to sell the tokens you've legitimately acquired through mining or fiat buying. That's just selling. High volatility selling, yes, but still just selling.

>it's extremely likely that your tokens aren't going to be worth anything anymore. This applies to every token, including bitcoin.

Oh yes, Bitcoin has died thousands of times. Maybe you'll be right one day, but I doubt it.

So instead of letting stupid people vote, you would prefer that their vote is manipulated and therefore cast for them? You would prefer a fascist state?

That's patently false at the very least. Everyone I've talked to said it was a horrible act and those officers deserve legal charges.

Don't be disingenuous just to win the argument.

To actually prove your point, you need to look at GPUs. A 3070 is ~$1100, so there we go, already we've broken his $1600 budget, and we have bought none of the other parts (which would total at minimum ~$1000 more).

If you go 5900x plus 3070, you're pretty much right in line with M1 Pro, but it will cost you around $2500 to equal the Macbook pro. So an upcharge of $1000 to $1500 for the price of being a mobile workstation, as well as all the Mac software. Not really unreasonable.

Why is this? From a layman's perspective it seems like gravity would be a massive form of help here and therefore lowering orbit should require much less fuel.

This might be more correct if you specify the UK has this opinion, because it definitely isn't a generally held opinion elsewhere.

Everyone in the US definitely thinks of Ford as a quintessential American car company. The F-150 is the most popular truck in the US, and used to be the most popular vehicle of any type sold.
