I'd take "running at home" to mean running on reasonably available consumer hardware, which your setup is not. You can obviously build custom, but who's actually going to do that? OP's point is valid
Napoleon's only been gone for about two hundred years, whereas Common Law has some real classics. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Merton was a set of laws promulgated in 1235, some of which remained in force (at least nominally) until the 1980s. I don't know much about Canon Law, but that surely goes back even further.
All that to say, you can just do your best to understand the law in the the context in which it was written, and replace the text every now and again.
There's a great non-AI point in this article - Seattle has great engineers. In pursuing startups, Seattle engineers are relatively unambitious compared to the Bay Area. By that I mean there's less "shooting for unicorns" and a comparatively more reserved startup culture and environment.
I'm not sure why. I don't think it's access to capital, but I'd love to hear thoughts.
My pet theory is that most of the investor class in seattle is ex microsoft and ex amazon. Neither microsoft nor amazon are really big splashy unicorns. Amazon's greatest innovation (aws) isn't even their original line of business and is now 'boring'. No doubt they've innovated all over their business in both little and big ways, but not splashy ways, hell every time amazon tries to splash they seem to fall on their ass more often than not (look at their various cancelled hardware lines, their game studios, etc. Alexa still chugs on, but she's not getting appreciably better to the end user over even the last 10 years).
Microsoft is the same, a generally very practical company just trying to practical company stuff.
All the guys that made their bones, vested and rested and now want to turn some of that windfall into investments likely don't have the kind of risk tolerance it takes to fund a potential unicorn. All smart people I'm sure, smart enough to negotiate big windfalls from ms/az but far less risk tollerant than a guy in SF who made their investment nestegg building some risky unicorn.
I'm hiring Research Engineers and Machine Learning Engineers to bring Meta AI to Reality Labs devices, including RayBan Meta Smart Glasses. Build rich multi-modal experiences fully unlocking both the power of mixed-reality devices and Facebook personalization.
Research Engineers will push the boundaries of how to train and deploy Meta AI LLMs. Publish your work, and be a leader in industry best practices.
Machine Learning Engineers will help bring emerging technologies onto the next generations of Reality Labs hardware devices. Build systems to ensure Meta AI performance in constrained environments.
"Understand that even with the best intentions you'll likely still get it wrong."
Objective truth is incredibly unwieldly. It's almost impossible to get right - just considering imperfections in communication alone.
Ever play the game of telephone? One person tells a fact to someone, who tells that fact to another person. Go 3 hops and you're almost certainly going to end with a different fact than you started with.
Each step of knowledge transfer incurs loss - and this applies to all forms of communication.
I'd argue communication is always an approximation to an ideal, anyways. The original version is going to be incomplete. How adequately can English (or your language of choice) represent a complex event or concept?
