I’m not lazy, I’m just tired of the fucking AI crawlers trashing my bandwidth.

I guess it’d be whatever the other party’s lawyer can persuade the judge into.

Does it take the view that I encourage/facilitate illegal use of my product unless I state otherwise in the T&C?

Encourage, probably not. Facilitate, possibly. That's why my bottle of Windex glass cleaner says "it's against federal law to use this product for anything other than its intended purpose."

In either case it's illegal for me to use it for bad purposes, but how much I can blame on Windex depends on how much they let me know that I shouldn't do bad stuff with their products.

Ask every account that has ever released information on drug use, lock picking, explosives manufacture, or "hacking" - they all say "for educational purposes only" for a damned good reason

Yeah, but if the refrigerator is built in a way that makes it very easy to grab some refrigerant when you want to pour yourself a glass of milk (to the point that one has to be careful and skilled to safely drink milk), maybe we should get a new refrigerator.

They will. Either new architectures will come out that give us greater efficiency, or we will hit a point where the main thing we can do is shove more training time onto these weights to get more per byte. Similar thing is already happening organically when it comes to efficient token use; see for instance https://github.com/qlabs-eng/slowrun.

Thanks for the link.

The "if" is fair. But when scaling hits diminishing returns, the field is forced to look at architectures with better capacity-per-parameter tradeoffs. It's happened before, maybe it'll happen again now.

Can someone recommend USBC earbuds with good ANC? Sometimes I’d love to avoid battery and interference concerns of Bluetooth, but noise cancellation became a must-have for me.

Is in-ear ok? With IEMs, you'll get passive noise canceling that I've found more than enough for most situations.

I have a pair of IEM with the usb-c converter attached most of the time for use with phones.

Give Truthear Hexa a try.

For me, it isn't, I need ANC also. This is the thing sticking me with wireless because as far as I can tell, the best ANC are all wireless.

Try different tips --- IEMs are supposed to seal to your ears like earplugs.

I'll put it this way: I also often use earplugs that are rated about as high as they go, and it's still not enough. So adding ANC on top is also helpful for me

What's the best in-ear ANC you found? I usually stick with over the ear and bose still has the best that I've tried compared to Apple or Sony

So far, sony wf1000-xm5, but they're also the most expensive I've tried. (OTOH, not a fan of the bose qc ultra over-ear despite the cost). Earfun airpro 4 were probably second after the sony.

That seems a ~~wired~~ weird compromise to me: you get the downsides of Bluetooth (inherent latency, potential codec quality loss, spectrum congestion — I occasionally experience interference and dropouts in crowded areas) but still have a wire hanging from your head and another battery to keep charged. :/

Latency doesn't matter for music and Fiio supports both LDAC and aptX.

Keeping the battery charged is a weak point though, agreed.

I hope regulators will soon force Apple to add alternative OS support.

Unfortunately it sounds like regulators are forcing Apple to make their OS (and all OSes even Linux) even worse by hamfisting age verification at setup.

Couldn't one charge from the display connected to?

Except on my stupid iPad “Pro”. :(

iirc theres an app on the app store that's basically a small alpine container

Well, there's iSH and a-Shell but they don't have GUI capability and are somewhat limited in other ways. There's also UTM, but without weird hacks you can only get SE version which is very slow.
