Trump unveils aggressive AI plan focused on deregulation, dismisses copyright payments for AI training

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-24 00:25:00

What just happened? President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance on one of the most contentious questions in artificial intelligence: whether companies developing AI should be required to pay for the copyrighted content used to train their systems. Speaking at an AI Summit in Washington, Trump dismissed the idea as unworkable. He argued that requiring AI firms to compensate for every book, article, or piece of media used in training their models would stifle innovation and risk leaving the Uni

Cells that breathe oxygen and sulfur at the same time

Take a deep breath. A flow of air has rushed into your lungs, where the oxygen moves into your bloodstream, fueling metabolic fires in cells throughout your body. You, being an aerobic organism, use oxygen as the cellular spark that frees molecular energy from the food you eat. But not all organisms on the planet live or breathe this way. Instead of using oxygen to harvest energy, many single-celled life-forms that live in environments far from oxygen’s reach, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents

In sledgehammer every operation is encoded as a sequence of bytes packed into an array. Every operation takes 1 byte plus whatever data is required for it. Each operation is encoded in a batch of four as a u32. Getting a number from an array buffer has a high constant cost, but getting a u32 instead of a u8 is not more expensive. Sledgehammer bindgen reads the u32 and then splits it into the 4 individual bytes. It will shuffle and pack the bytes into as few buckets as possible and try to inline

I started with the basics: A hash table in memory, a simple append-only log for persistence and durability, and the classic fsync() call after every write to the log for durability. It worked, but wasn't as fast as it could be. In Kevo, that's the approach I use, but in Klay (not public yet, but will be open sourced when ready)
