is it legal for police to track your movements in a state they have no jurisdiction in?

You can argue that reverse engineering anything is as hard if not harder than engineering something. I can’t imagine distillation is any different.


Distillation is objectively easier than training a model from scratch, that's why all these Chinese labs are doing it.


Training a model is objectively easier than generating the sum total of human creative output prior to 2020. That's why the big labs are doing it. What's the difference here?


Reverse engineering has stronger protections than merely copyright infringement


Just a note, be careful on your laptop in the front passenger seat. If you get into an accident, the airbag is pushing that device right towards your head.


"You don’t get build muscle using an excavator to lift weights. You don’t produce interesting thoughts using a GPU to think." Great line!


Curious have any of you tried the Charachorder? It's supposed to be the fastest "keyboard" to type on.


I havn't tried it but its way up on my list to try. Another one thats really out there is the svalboard. I really dig that the trackball is just under your hand.


It’s called marketing and value signaling. Doesn’t mean they believe what they spew.


2 tom brady posts on the front page in one day?


and zero peyton manning posts, interesting


That's not where Peyton Manning is competing!


two tom brady posts on the front in one day?


I noticed that . Typically after the first post hits the front page and goes viral, someone else will submit a second post, which also hits the front page. It's rare, but I have seen it happen a few times over the years.


It's often something that was mentioned in the first post's comment section. I guess someone found it cool enough to want to share.


Who is he?


A very successful American Football quarterback.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady


A well-known former NFL player.


I also did not expect Tom Brady to be a high quality blogger. These are not rambling complaints about life. There is fantastic wisdom in his posts.


why does this require uploading my photos? can't something like this run native?


The website says it runs locally. In browser JavaScript , you can import a file from local file system to JavaScript's local scope without sending it to a server. I'm guessing that's how this app works.

If you want to know for sure, open your browser's dev tools, switch to the network tab, import a file and watch to see if a network request is made.


Yes, that's exactly right. All your images are processed locally and don't leave your device. They are all processed in the web browser with javascript and your dev tools like you say should show that.


I think he means "why does it have to upload to the browser, can't it just read from the filesystem?" it should work, but browsers make it more complicated.
