LOL. If you're not charging us for it, is there any other psychoanalysis you might be willing to provide?

Alternatively: sometimes, a weirdly-positioned pricing page is just a weirdly-positioned pricing page.

Psychoanalysis?

This is a technology review and discussion website. It's poor design to put a link to a pricing page and not list any prices.

You're literally the only GPU provider that does that.

I was trying to give you my perspective as a consumer since I know you frequent these forums but I apologize if I have offended you in some way.

I was considering these guys the other day until I saw their pricing page: https://fly.io/pricing/

(There's not a single price on there, why even create the page?)

Never use public trackers (unless you're downloading Linux ISOs of course).

Been downloading literally whatever I feel like in Canada here for the past few decades with nothing more than an email forwarded to me from my ISP with some "threats" from the original copyright owners :P

Obviously if you walked at a snails pace, even the lightest rain would get you soaked.

While I was initially impressed with it's context window, I got so sick of fighting with Claude about what it was allowed to answer I quit my subscription after 3 months.

Their whole policing AI models stance is commendable but ultimately renders their tools useless.

It actually started arguing with me about whether it was allowed to help implement a github repository's code as it might be copywritten... it was MIT licensed open source from Google :/

We shouldn't be listening to the NIST for any sort of Cryptographic advice. [1]

While these discussions are always loaded with sentimental intepretation, and complex questions of what "rightful owner" after hundreds or thousands of years even means, I think more of an emphasis should be put on impact for the population.

After all, the British Museum, the main example for restitutions, is located in a global city, given completely free access to its huge collection on display and pays for preservation. The global cultural value it adds is much larger than individual museums all over the would could provide.

> Marieke van Bommel, director general of the National Museum of World Cultures, tells the New York Times’ Lynsey Chutel that “the thief cannot tell the rightful owners what to do with their property.”

And in the meantime the academic establishment seem to ignore doing what's best for the artefacts or the public. Abused children are taken away from their parents, but artefact are to simply be given back to whatever state has jurisdiction over some area they were in way back?

There seems to not be a simple answer on when things should be given back or not, but at least some effort should be put into figuring out some triage criteria.

I think that's besides the point.

To me this means a goodhearted effort to right past wrongs.
