the difference is, that a model is literally just numbers.
proprietary software is data and code, and while it's true that code is data, the difference is that some data is intended to be for control flow, while in a model it is all the same stuff.
You can point to any single part of an LLM's model and say "this here is a weight" but if you point to any single part of a binary file you will have no idea what you're looking at.
And yes, you could decompile the binary, but that still doesn't give you the entire picture, and all proprietary software does the shady shit on servers these days anyway so you're not even going to find anything interesting.
what if i want to change out the middle part of the training, and then still run the rest as before? or if i want to cull a bunch of the initial training set?
a binary is also just numbers, but we know there's other parts to it
Generally yes, unfortunately, with very narrow exceptions. Not all countries follow this rule, but the US does, and it’s certainly not alone in this respect.
Yes, but have you ever seen 8 queues of cars, about 8-10 cars in each, at Sams Club or Costco buying gas? You'd need a awful lot of battery buffer to keep up with that kind of demand. At some point you'd deplete the batteries and be stuck with charging at whatever rate the grid connection could deliver.
With EVs, most of your charging should be done at home, with fast charging mostly just existing for trips.
I know not everyone can charge at home (especially if you live in an apartment), but the solution to that is pretty straightforward and a lot more convenient compared with trying to scale up fast charging to match petrol stations.
First, that exact situation simply doesn't have an equivalent in the EV world. Quite a lot of people should be able to charge elsewhere (at home, at work, on the street).
Second, wow, I live in Europe and I have never seen 64+ cars queueing at a single station. If I saw 15, I'd be wondering what the hell happened.
I’m an apartment dwelling EV owner, so I’m well aware of that, but even here, where high density housing is pretty common, at least 50% people could theoretically charge at home with no or minimal adjustments. And on top of that, workplace and street charging should follow EV adoption, it’s not like either EVs or the infrastructure are going to appear overnight.
GPS tries to cover the whole globe, app uses GPS to get location. Ship probably has internet connection in the from of wifi or a cell tower with a starlink or other sattelite backbone link and app's traffic is encrypted so ships firewalls cannot easily block this
