How does your ISP have anything to do with port forwarding, or wired vs. wifi?

That’s fucking hilarious.
So judges are saying:
If you trained a model on a single copyrighted work, then that would be a copyright violation because it would inevitably produce output similar to that single work.
But if you train it on hundreds of thousands of copyrighted works, that’s no longer a copyright violation, because output won’t closely match any single work.
How is something a crime if you do it once, but not if you do it a million times?
It reminds me of the scheme from Office Space: https://youtu.be/yZjCQ3T5yXo
One of my first tasks in my game development career was to change the data type used for the main currency in [Famously Addictive Farm Simulator Game], because a user had exceeded the maximum value.
I eventually found out approximately how much IRL money this person had spent on this game…
6 figures. And not barely 6 figures.
People don’t spend that much because they’re just having fun.
There is absolutely something different about these kinds of games. It’s abusive and dangerous, and we should consider it a health hazard.
Futurama called it “Bachelor Chow”.
Devs out there:
F# has a feature kinda like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/units-of-measure
Yep. Same problem we have with AI use of free-to-view literature and art. The author’s intent is often to invite others to participate in a collective effort, and start an ongoing conversation where works can be shared back and forth and everyone improves as a result.
Corpo use of FOSS — and especially ML training on free-to-view works — often takes the fruits of the collective effort and then sprints directly away from the community, refusing to participate and sometimes even wrapping a thin for-profit layer around the free underlying tools.
In the case of AI, this for-profit wrapper is so comprehensive and so thoroughly obscures any reference to the source material that not only can it replace the original communities very effectively, but it denies any ability to navigate through to the original communities even if you wanted to.
Not sure what Ubisoft sees here.
The only use case where crypto beats centralized data stores is the use case of grifting people through buzzwords.
So I guess I am sure what Ubisoft sees here.
That presumes I’m a fan of myself.
Seize the means of computation.
It’s a secular apocalypse cult. There’s a good episode of Team Human about it. https://www.teamhuman.fm/episodes/257-emile-p-torres
Most creators that have in-video sponsors also have Patreons with sponsor-free feeds.
Saying Gen Z and Millennials are “more into gig work” is kinda like saying black people are “more into incarceration”. I assure you, it is not indicative of a preference.
Always blew my mind at CompUSA that they had lil security boxes around the $30 games, but $200 (or however much it was) Red Hat was just chillin.
We have an entire movement in the US that says:
I don’t think you defeat that movement by assassinating its political leader. Especially out of a belief that his crimes will never be prosecuted lawfully.
I don’t think Biden has an ideological bone in his body. Supporting Israel is just good business. Simple as.
12 sources, but rated “mixed factuality” at best. I’d stay skeptical. https://ground.news/article/us-news-network-msnbc-takes-2-muslim-journalists-off-anchoring-duties-amid-war-in-israel_7aba2d
Most Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency. Transplanting to a new state is off the table for a lot of people, especially women. If you have enough money to move, you probably also have enough money to take a weekend trip to get an abortion in a neighboring state.
