  • In what world is a production codebase 75k lines. A single project at my last company was 1.4 million lines of code. Every single one of our microservices had more lines of code than that. And just my team was responsible for 50+ microservices. And thirteen tokens per line is hilariously low.

    Holding a week of chat in your head is nothing when 90% of it is stuff that is incorrect or discussed and minds changed. This is exactly why my boss keeps saying conflicting things, the LLM doesn’t know what is true or not. It just regurgitates the random thing from context.





  • You’re not spelling anything out. This article you are commenting under is literally about the case when YOU ARE NOT BUYING A LICENSE.

    Like holy fucking shit you are fucking dense.

    And yes you are not buying the fucking copyright. It’s like you don’t understand what that means. If you buy a book from the store you are not buying a license. YOU ALSO AREN’T BUYING THE COPYRIGHT.

    Sorry, but you do NOT own any of the copyrighted works that have ever been given to you or purchased.

    Yes you do. Buying the copyright has nothing to do with buying the product. Here’s an example. I as a photographer can sell you an image. I own the copyright on that. You cannot duplicate and resell my works as your own. But you can do whatever the fuck you want with the original you purchased. But guess what, I can also sell you a license to use that work instead of selling you the product. So I can say, you can’t do whatever you want with this. You can only use it for personal use cases or in one book. Nothing else. That’s selling you a license. Finally, I can sell you the entire copyright for the photo, transferring that copyright to you entirely, meaning now I can’t do anything I want with my own creation anymore.

    These are three different things. You are only buying a license in a very specific context. You are almost never as an individual purchasing a copyright, though businesses buy and sell them all the time.

    For the case above, Sony was selling you the full product. They were not selling a license. They were not selling the copyright. They were selling you an item you owned and can resell.
