I run a product that has a free tier. There's one person with ~30 accounts, each with their own unique email address (gmail).
Credit cards are a decent tool to stem the tide of people making lots of free accounts.
Fine, then charge $1 and don't auto-convert to a subscription. That practice is what is offensive.
Or if it's just a few users don't ruin the free trial for everyone based on the actions of some bad apples. Spend some time on IP based screens etc.

Just say "No" to "Free" trials that require a credit card on file.

I don’t understand why you think they are even similar. This is still doing pairwise attention.
An LSTM takes a series of values and uses a combination of gates to determine critical information to hold on to or forget as a sequence unfolds. This is a compressive technique that removes the requirement of having all previous sequence information at the time of a particular inference.
This paper "compress sequence information into an anchor token" which is then used at inference time to reduce the information required for prediction as well as speed up that prediction. They do this via "continually pre-training the model to compress sequence information into the anchor token."

Someone explain to me how this isn't reinventing LSTMs please.
I don't care about learning Mandarin, I want to find out how this guy's motivation system works and then download it into my brain.
Doing a PhD and learning Mandarin as a side project?! Doing hours of Anki practice and new note taking, some of it while running on a treadmill? There's just a crazy amount of drive (and what sounds like an epic memory) here.
I don't think people consider base motivation enough when thinking about processes and this guy won some kind of biological and/or upbringing lottery.
One thing I've noticed with the set of music generation tools (eg Udio, Suno) is that there's a sort of profound attachment to songs that you create.
With all due respect, how could there be when at the click of a button you can generate entire songs? You didn't come up with the chord progression, the structure, the melodic motifs, or the lyrics.
My attachment to my works is directly proportional to the amount of effort it took to create them.
Imagine you've had an idea bouncing around in your head, or even an emotion, for a long time and you've never been able to express it. Then one day you push a button and a piece of art captures what you've been feeling perfectly.
It's not the craft that drives attachment in this case but the emotional resonance of something that you think should exist finally existing.

What if she believes AGI is imminent and is relocating to a remote location to build a Faraday-shielded survival bunker.
This is now my head-canon.
I've encountered this in the Pittsburgh area with AHN. Trying to get a provider results in printed lists of outdated numbers, practices not accepting patients, etc.
Frankly I think we need to start breaking laws. A startup needs to offer straight up good care and fuck the web of infinite regulations which support America's for profit health failure.
Doctors can lose their licenses pretty easily so it's going to have to be a straight tech play. Offer as-good-as-possible care entirely outside of the medical profession. AIs are getting good enough that despite the obvious errors they make they are still better than the nothing-burger of care we get here.
