When I see a company this big screwing over their partner after 20 years of partnership for some lousy tens of millions of dollars (which is probably peanuts compared to worldwide profits), I immediately think that everything is not as simple as it seems.
In this post, Underwood is obviously a virtuous, hard working victim and the sriracha guys are the villains. I don’t believe that there are good and bad companies and I firmly believe that there is some underlying reason for this situation.
The court awarded $10M in punitive damages in addition to the $13M in compensatory damages. So the options are basically "Huy Fong's lawyers are criminally incompetent" or "Huy Fong absolutely screwed over their supplier".
By way of contrast, I've seen so many corporations led by deranged idiots who used to make good decisions within their realm of competence that I have no trouble believing that Huy Fong decided that they could completely dominate Underwood, and were very wrong.
The more power a person believes they have, the stupider they act.
Quoth wikipedia: "The jury unanimously ruled in favor of Underwood on the grounds of breach of contract and fraud."
Is it a property though? You are buying a non-exclusive revocable license for specific piece of software, it's not an NFT. You don't own anything, you only get permission to use thing you paid for in a set of specific circumstances. Usually it is written somewhere in the license agreement.
What about multi-gpu setups? Nvidia has nvlink, effectively combining any amount of GPUs into one speedy network, which can benefit both training and inference speed for bigger model sizes. AFAIK, AMD doesn't have anything like that, thus, limiting the usefullness of these chips.
Also, compute stack is too rough right now. Not sure ROCm will be comparable with CUDA in terms of usability in the next couple of years at least.
It can be replaced with a self-hosted LLM, simply change the code where the Vision API is being called. That's true for all of the API calls in the app.
I really, really want to switch from Vivaldi to Firefox, but I am just too accustomed to the workflow. The interface is too slick and it "just works".
I use vertical tabs with different workspaces, and although I am aware I can do it with extensions or userchrome in Firefox, I've found both variants pretty rough and unpolished -- and I don't have the time and energy to polish stuff that bothers me.
The biggest question for me is why nobody creates browsers based on FF engine and everyone uses chromium as a backbone for the browser. I would love to see something like Vivaldi or nyxt based on FF engine.
I've used Tree Style Tab before and switched to Sidebery (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/). Never used Vivaldi, but you might want to give that a try. It works well in combination with container tabs.
