Can i please say something about the announcement itself. I marvel at its simplicity and focus on the outcomes & benefits. Especially its lack of trying to link it to a political party / person is very refreshing to see and i wish can be emulated in some of the more developing nations.

"you can't enforce the law if you can't see the crime taking place"

Isn't this the key?

If AI can learn how to write a song like the Beatles, is it a crime that it has learnt it, or is it a crime that someone can use AI to produce work that resembles those artists' creations?

May the control be put on preventing AI from plagiarizing instead of putting measures to prevent scraping specific content from the open web.

The obvious difference would be that a human doesn’t regurgitate someone else’s work as-is and represent it as their own, at least not with enormous reputional damage.

It wasn’t scraped from the open web though was it?

At last someone echoing my biggest gripe with RM2. I dare say a number of recent sw upgrades have been annoying - but the one that made me use my rm less is the infinite scroll and pressing a button to add a new page. Also the zoom feels very clunky.

Is there a way to revert to the older versions of the software?

You can use RCU [1] to downgrade to a firmware of your choosing [2].

Is that a fact? That seems insanely large.

Browsers contain a lot of logic

I wonder why the prices here (https://www.kuronekoyamato.co.jp/ytc/scn/send/services/takky...) are so specific (not rounded off). Am I right that this is a general trend in Japan?

Yes, that's perfectly normal. It's not like the US where everything is $x.99. Prices can be anything. With the latest inflation, they've been going up, but I'm guessing they just make a calculation for what the price should be based on their costs, whereas in the US they always round up to do the x.99 thing.

In general, it's shenanigans with the display of VAT.

In Yamato's case, they make paying cashless a tiny bit cheaper because handling cash is a time sink for their couriers

You make a good point. Except that a number of these concepts and tooling in the ML world have been slingshotted into the forefront in a relatively short time and it has been hard to play catch up. For eg. - someone said "frozen Vicuna" below - what does that mean?

Vicuna is a specific open source AI LLM: https://ai.plainenglish.io/vicuna-the-unparalleled-open-sour...

i know what you mean about "good stuff", but i did really enjoy the full commentary on this one. you have to give the narrative a chance and you can choose to skip right ahead if you want to without so much of an effort.

I agree that it popping it on its own is irritating. But having a live chat feature I have found to be very useful. Recently I have had to do a lot of purchasing for my House renovation project remotely (from a different country). It was useful feature, to enquire about specifications, book replacements etc. So much so that on the websites that didn't have this feature, I really missed it.

Yes this is the one. Thank you
