🎉 The magical #OCaml duo claims to outmaneuver a $359M juggernaut, because obviously two #wizards typing in their basement can easily outshine a #tech behemoth. 🤯 Apparently, open-sourcing and bootstrapping are the secret ingredients that make #investors question their life choices. 🙈

Terrateam · How we're beating $359M in funding with two people and OCamlTerrateam has done a lot with a little.

"As these tools become more powerful and affordable, #skepticism in #media will grow. But the question isn't whether we can trust what we see and hear. It's whether we can trust who's showing it to us. In an era where anyone can generate a realistic video of anything for $1.50, the #credibility of the #source becomes our primary anchor to #truth. The medium was never the message—the #messenger always was."

Something for the weekend? I'm super pleased to have just blogged with the 1st issue of #SOURCE. SOURCE is an idea for where to place articles I'd like to write but that are to difficult for my brilliant paid clients to home. SOURCE is opensource, free (pay as you feel) and I'd LOVE it if you shared my first experimental issue on Computational Fluid Dynamics with @FreeCAD that's on this blog. Ta.

Ok, so the article references this memo [1], which in section 2.A.iv has this blurb:
"After a supervisor issues a Warrant of Apprehension and Removal and deconfliction is complete {an administrative warrant}, officers shall use all available tools to immediately apprehend validated Alien Enemies wherever they are found in the United States, including, but not limited to, inside Alien Enemies' residences and workplaces. Prior to entering an Alien Enemy's residence to apprehend an Alien Enemy, officers must have reason to believe the validated Alien Enemy is present inside the residence."

So clearly, it is the current policy of the United States Government to violate the 4th Amendment and the Constitution. The memo is based on an illegal #ExecutiveOrder [2] which in section 2 directs the attorney general to generate the above referenced memo.

« Posons-nous un instant la question : qu’est-ce que le #code #source d’un réseau de #neurones ? […] La #GPL fournit une définition : le code source est la forme de l’œuvre privilégiée pour effectuer des #modifications. Dans cette acception, le code source d’un réseau de neurones serait l’#algorithme d’entraînement, le réseau de neurones de départ et le #corpus sur lequel le réseau a été entraîné »
