<p>>they are to some degree lossy compressors<p>Is this even a controversial statement? Seems very clearly correct to me.<p>My original point wasn't worried about the copyright though. I'm completely ignoring it for now because I do agree it's a problem until Congress says something (lol) or courts do.</p>

<p>Sure, a lot of people are incompetent. But the world generally works. Which is of course, the problem. The only time anything really gets questioned is when you start having a GitHub like 0 9s situation.</p>

<p>As a practical matter as a "normal person" who just wants to rebalance/do a deposit/withdraw every so often, the market only being open 6:30 AM-1 PM on the west coast is very annoying.<p>6:30 AM to say 10 PM would solve a lot of those issues though without needing to go 24/7 (unless you work night shift...)</p>

<p>You have to set a deadline at some point. Now, I think any rational manager would agree if the sale shows up on April 1 instead of March 31st, that's totally fine. But HR/Finance systems aren't always rational.</p>

<p>The economic incentives line up much better there. You charge for tokens -> cost is GPUs -> you work very hard to keep GPUs utilized 100% and get max tokens out of those cycles.<p>Compare this to essentially any modern business app, the product being sold has very little relationship with CPU cycles, or the CPU cycles are SO cheap relative to what you're getting paid, no one cares to optimize.</p>

Sinper was purchased by Applix in 1996, which was purchased by Cognos in late 2007, which was in itself acquired mere months later by IBM.[3][2]<p>TM1 is widely used as a way to interface with official ledgers.</p>
