You have to have a sample to be able to reprint it.

Good thing the books are being scanned, then. The copyright owners know just who to go to get the sample.

They’re not giving anybody any samples lol

Has anyone asked? From the discussion here it seems like the books are extremely valuable.

It seems like you had a nice, unexpected experience due to the incident. I didn't expect your story to end up in you threatening to take them to court.

> I declined to take that offer. I had missed several business meetings that cost me actual money. I couldn't donate blood for years because I had been to the Amazon and was tagged a malaria risk.

RTFP?

Agree. Some people really fail to see the bright side of things. Sad.

Left gmail 5 years ago for Fastmail, haven't looked back. Their support is super fast and effective, had to use it once. Gmail support is nonexistent.

It’s called society and it’s really hard to fight against. I’d suggest you look for a way to fit in that suits you.

Old guy checking in. This is the best reply I could find that matches my view.

You might not escape but you can breathe better air if you try.

Do you need a big house, do you need a shiny new vehicle, do you need to eat at restaurants twice a week?

Life can be more your way if you have more money to make it your way.

Except, it's not "the US", just some minority with direct financial ties.

Very, very happy with my Flint 2. Rock solid.

Upgrades are “owut upgrade” these days. Pretty straightforward.

Maybe so. The documentation seems to be all over the map, and the GUI suggests using "attended sysupgrade" for upgrades.

...which I tried doing, a week or so ago, for a minor point release update within the 25.12.x series. And then the router went out to lunch and didn't come back.

Getting it going again wasn't so bad as such things go. My router has a huge advantage here in that it's a Raspberry Pi 4, so it's easy to remove/replace/re-do the flash device and start over.

(Except: I get all out of sorts when I need to do Internet stuff to fix my Internet connection while that Internet connection is absent.)

Yeah, for non-X86 devices, getting to U-boot with pressing a combination of PINs in particular order and conditions and releasing at right time is a pain.

I think I wasted $100,000 in salary for $100 more in device cost, in setting up an OpenWRT router.

Apart from installation and upgrades, the OS itself is nice, very flexible and capable.

Well-said.

I've got other options for routing hardware and software (of course I do), but I generally keeping using OpenWRT. Looking back, it seems like I've had it around in some form or other in active use for about 20 years so far.

Part of what keeps it around is the flexibility and the home-network-centric hack-value. I mean, this whole thing grew out of a shell injection exploit on a Linksys WRT54G. :)

Anyway, it can keep whatever counts as a slow WAN connection today feeling responsive and quick with cake SQM, even while loaded heavy with traffic and users. It's nice in that way, even though enterprise types don't seem to be interested in that kind of thing at all.

I could take a nice Juniper router home from work to use instead and it would absolutely trounce the packet-forwarding performance of my cheap OpenWRT box...while also doing nothing at all to make my home-gamer WAN limitations more tolerable.

So OpenWRT is still my answer, with the warts and upgrade woes and all.

You're not worried your whole genome is being sent over to some commercial entity?

Marginally but the data manipulation is actually being done locally as the genome CRAM files are like 24Gb each.

it's not, the genome is treated locally by tools called by the LLM, the LLM itself can't do much with the raw DNA sequence

I wouldn't care where my data went if it was to help my children.

Any chance to run this on a RTX 3090 and 64GB of regular RAM with decent context size?

Nothing a few million dollars here and there can't fix ...

Please don't post unsubstantive comments.

Kissing the ring also helps - I won't be surprised if Anthropic's next model goes full MAGA

Cheaper and less harmful to long-term and international prospects to just make a gold-plated “AI Peace Prize” award and gift it in some ceremony. Couple of hundred thousand dollars, works great. Ask Tim Apple.

I don’t know, for all the bad people say about Amodei, everybody seem convinced he’d rather burn his company than let something like that happen
