On one hand Facebook has never done anything to help anyone not named Zuckerberg.

Hm, React is also open-source - it’s under the MIT license. A lot of people have jobs and develop or use products made with it. Probably there are other good examples that I’m not aware of.

However, here the license is more restrictive:

2. Additional Commercial Terms. If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.

I wouldn’t say that’s a crazy requirement. A lot of businesses still could use it free of charge, because few have 700 million or more monthly active users. Besides, from the given text I’m not sure if this applies to the current version of the LLM or not.

You can’t fork it and change the license. You can’t use it to develop another LLM either:

v. You will not use the Llama Materials or any output or results of the Llama Materials to improve any other large language model (excluding Llama 2 or derivative works thereof).

So yeah, while they want to protect their commercial interests and put some restrictions in place, we should discuss the actual license agreement instead of talking about trust and beliefs. To me, it doesn’t look bad.

My phone usually stands on the wireless charger as it’s next to my PC. I charge it before going somewhere, because the phone is 6 years old and its battery could be better.

I use it every day in my job and the quality of answers only drops off when prompts are poorly crafted.

Same. It saves me a lot of time both at work and when I’m working on my personal projects. But you need to ask proper questions to get proper answers.

It’s not that hard to predict, given that ~90% of startups fail.

I love good stories. For me, the atmosphere and plot are vital. It feels like after work I just don’t have enough time and mental capacity to put a lot of effort in a video game, therefore I avoid things like Minecraft or the whole survival genre, even though I used to enjoy that kind of stuff when I was a teenager.

These things are inevitable whether you host everything yourself or in the cloud. The latter simply has to be more secure than the former. And it probably is in many cases.

Google has finally launched its Play Games beta for PC project, which lets users play Android games on their Windows systems, in India after introducing it in more than 50 countries. The program is also being expanded to 60 other countries — including Argentina and South Africa, bringing the total availability to over 120 countries.

First launched in 2022, the project has since been gradually expanded to different regions such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Europe over the last several months.

Google Play Games on PC requires users to run Windows 10 on a PC with 4 CPU physical cores, 10GB of free storage on a solid-state drive (SSD), an Intel UHD Graphics 630 GPU or comparable and 8GB of RAM. The program is currently in beta, so these requirements can change around the final release. Google said Friday users in India will have the option to access the service both in English and Hindi.

Users will have to have a Windows admin account with hardware virtualization turned on to play games.

Apart from existing titles including “Eversoul,” “Lords Mobile” and “Evony: The King’s Return,” players will now have access to Indian titles such as “Ludo King” and “Hitwicket Games.” Overall, Google offers more than 100 titles under the program.

Users can sync their game progress across devices like Android phones, tablets, Chromebooks and PC. Last year, Google also started testing keyboard control for select Android games on ChromeOS.

In March, Google also launched an emulator for game-makers to quickly debug their games. Additionally, the company offers integration with Android Studio for developers to make adjustments and deploy their games.
