The authors are entitled to their share of the profit of the AI boom, because their intellectual property made it possible and the companies committed an illegal act by stealing their data.

If you support these companies raking in billions and don't want any victories or legal precedents for the little guy - then be prepared to watch as they take up an even larger share of the profit in other ways until 95% of the AI boom is their billions of dollars sitting in banks to the point where nothing matters anymore.

Different problem. ITAR makes it illegal to even feed this information into any space that could be exported to foreign nationals, let alone that information is probably classified. Arguably this is a blatant violation of the 1a, but the US is a fake and gay hypocritical shithole.
>>
>>107684325
To be fair, buying entails licensing which entails disputes. Stealing and obscuring the source and then smoke-screening with "fair use" was likely considered the lowest risk. I don't think money came into the picture. Remember, lawyers and the jewdiciary are literally the root of all evil and the decline of the west, personified.

Lets assume we agree this is reasonable: how do you verify whether or not your work was used in the training? The big SaaS You are almost always going to keep the data sets, used a secret and never release them for all these reasons (mostly so their competition can't improve THEIR products with it or do any reverse engineering). Once you have a raw neural network, you cannot inspect the thing to find out exactly which specific media you trained it on. The most evil find is some metadata (and even that isn't necessary for the neural network to even work. It being included is more of a courtesy)

I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.

For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.

What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?

I didn't read the thread but I'm a middle aged man and I can easily hear the difference between the 24bit flac version of blood sugar sex magik and the constant bitrate 128kbps .mp3s of the songs I got from that album over 9000 years ago from an IRC bot. And I don't even have expensive speakers. I use SVS Prime bookshelf speakers. Just thought you'd like to know.
>>
The reason you use FLAC is to have access to transcoding. You need audio in AAC? No problem. You need it in MP3? Easy.
If you get your audio in MP3, specially if it's low bit rate then you can't transcode it to any other audio format without ending up with a total turd. Now, for most people this isn't something that matters because they'll just always listen to their MP3s, but for the sake of archival FLAC is a must. It has nothing to do with how good it sounds when you listen to it, but I'm sure nobody is gonna complain that their FLAC is too low quality compared to the CD they ripped it from.

It depends a lot on content. With most music I've tried I also couldn't readily tell a difference between 320kbps MP3 and FLAC, but with the eig.wv sample I found on hydrogenaudio it was quite easy once I raised the volume sufficiently:
https://hydrogenaudio.org/index.php/topic,49601.0.html
https://files.catbox.moe/srh7pa.zip (contains the original and the 320kbps MP3 encode I made and used for testing)
Though the codec used is another important variable, more modern codecs like AAC and Opus fare a lot better on this sample than ancient MP3. Even different encoder implementations can behave differently, e.g. the native ffmpeg AAC encoder is a lot worse than the AAC encoders by Apple and Fraunhofer.
There's also generation loss, meaning if you convert multiple times the losses stack up, so if you want to convert to, let's say 96kbps Opus, it's better to feed the Opus encoder the original FLAC than an already lossy MP3.

there is like no reason to buy a 5080 when the 5070 ti exists. since all the games that need lots of performance already support dlss frame gen and both gpus can shit out like triple-digit fps when doing so, and in older games it doesn't matter that much since they already run at stupid frames. the 5080 is just pointless honestly while costing a premium. you have to be a cuck to get it as a primary gpu and you have a budget.

Does anyone remember how that worked, taking two checkpoints and training a LoRA on the difference between them? Or am I misremembering?

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

Use Linux long enough and you'll begin to see the cracks. It doesn't take long for issues to arise. Just wait until it starts locking up on you. It's only a matter of time. It's Windows ME levels of hot garbage with a vocal userbase that would do well to either admit to the issues or shut the hell up and get out of the way.
>Works on my machine
No, no it doesn't, you just haven't used it long enough or did enough with your PC to notice. Give it time friend, you'll be doing something important and it'll shit itself in confusion. You'll either go back to Windows or buy a Mac mini. I just accepted my fate and went back to Windows and it's not bad. I actually enjoy using Windows because everything just works. From cad to games, from office to 2d and 3d printing, designing, from server to workstation, windows just works these days. And the issues it does have are very easy to solve because the instructions you find are actually applicable because it doesn't change every couple of months, or the issue is so small it's a storm in a teacup. I wish Linux were as good as people claim it to be. I really really want to love it. I can't even begin to like it.

Linux users themselves are basically the QA testers, but many of them have developed a complex after decades of butting heads with Windows/Macfags where they refuse to admit any faults or bugs whatsoever--they will always find some random shit to blame your problems on, most commonly user error/inexperience/misconfiguration. I remember being told for ages that a lot of the random issues I had were the result of using Nvidia hardware...lo and behold, I had the exact same issues with Intel and AMD hardware. It goes on and on.

what you're refetning to as linux, is in fact, bugs/linux, or as iv'e recently taken to caling it, shit. linux is not an operating system.

many computer users run a modifiesd version of the gnu system avertyday withut realizing it, and they're all gay lolololololololoolol.

thorugh a peculiar tune of eevnets, the verison of gnu which is widely sued today is oftne called "linux," an dmany of its users are not getting laid xDDDDDDDD

there ereally is a linxu, and these people are using it, but it is just shitty looooooooool

linux is the kernel: the perogram in the sytem that allocates the mahcines resources towards crahshing xDDDDD

the kernel is an esential part of an aperating styem, but useless by itself. it's also uselees when it's not by itself because linux sucks amirite.
