I use IRC!

Why can't the FBI target these malicious bot networks? They seem to be only focusing on software sharing sites and torrent networks.

Seems crazy that Google has to do this in the lack of the FBI's action.

Since AI will be used as a tools in art, tools are allowed and copyright is retained. But whats the agreed amount to retain copyright under USCO?

AI generation will be filling in gaps, offering suggestions, fine tuning, filling in effects, etc. Media will handily adopt it to speed up processes.

Maybe it's the amount of prompts given vs the ai generation. If you describe the scene, the characters, the look and feel, and the dialog, but AI generates the images? Thats just giving a book a visual to your story.

I have favorite sci-fi authors, in the future I could see AI generating movies based off the books, maybe starting as Anime until the technology can generate a full movie, or at least a graphic novel to start. That should probably retain copyright.

I'm also expecting AI to be implemented in music, offer suggestions, make modifications, until it can fully generate music. The cross over from tool usage to humanless music generation is where copyright most likely should end.

Twitter went beyond banning the url from posts and comments, they used its child porn filters to exclude the new yorks times news article in private direct messages.

The company's own plans do not matter, cannot matter, have never mattered.

The fact that they have the data, and that they operate in a jurisdiction where they can be compelled to turn over the data (and then gagged from saying what the government is now doing with the data), is all that matters. And that applies to both the US and China.

Pre-Snowden, I could imagine some people sticking their heads in the sand and pretending that stuff doesn't happen, or if it does, it doesn't happen here, or if it does, it doesn't happen often, or if it does, it happens with meaningful judicial oversight.

But the cat's well and truly out of the bag. Gathering data is equivalent to using it for evil, and we should (some of us do) treat every app that attempts to gather data, as evil. And we've long known that even approximate location data reveals plenty about who you associate with and what you do.

There is ZERO percent chance that NONE of the affected creators appealed their strikes.

YouTube was flooded with evidence that these clowns were pulling a fast one, and failed to comprehend it, for FOUR YEARS. That kind of negligence should open them to some sort of action as well.

Part goes to the miners and part is burned. It should be noted that gas fees are mostly a bidding based system, the people bidding the most get their transactions included first (again, mostly). Prices go down if people refuse to pay the high fees.

"subsequent language updates can require today's developers to rewrite old code"

That's the definition of a failure by the language, and it's now a new language. It may share some semantics with the other language, but anyone trying to push breaking changes in the language itself should be seen as the enemy.

Sure, this keeps programmers employed, but everyone knows when they're doing a "bullshit job" that shouldn't even exist. Rewriting working code to satisfy a language wanker's vanity is the most bullshit job I can imagine. No wonder people quit over it.

Microsoft stopped doing win10 upgrades, and I wanted the new kernel that had AMD nested cpu virtualizations instructions, you can run a VM in a VM.

So I see win11 has the latest kernel 19200+ versions, so I upgrade and nope, amd nested wasn't included.

Figured most things work (except vr), might as well keep using win11. But the way they crippled the taskbar was a nightmare, and open-shell won't work on win11.

They also took 2 step tasks and made them 3 steps tasks to make it look pretty, cut paste drop downs, drag and drop issues.

The day to day workflow was horrible, and yes, it was stable.

In case you wondered if it was possible to get scummier than Fox...

Big companies like to use ticket rate closure to rate staff, but doesnt difference tiers for tickets. And, the low performers will cherry pick the easy tickets that can be quickly closed. Or more often people wont solve the harder tickets, to keep up their ticket stats in the monthly stats.

Doctors offices have this problem now too, they have a ETA for each patient, ran by the insurance or corporate heads, and a few late people or big problems can throw off the entire day.

I've seen this problem on installers and contractors, HQ gives an alloted time to complete a job, but they have no idea what the onsite setup is like, lots of issues can pop up.

I had this one Boss fire an IT guy, for not completing a remote datacenter job quick enough, the IT guy drove to our datacenter in a new office, and the site was brand new installation, there was cardboard boxes, wire and metal bits all over the the server room, so he cleaned it up. Got fired for not being quick enough.

This will just make people do "just enough", race towards the bottom of quality.

Wouldn't download a car would you?

I don't think anyone polled the users before submitting the PR that added the telemetry...

So what happens to files submitted to VirusTotal, then? I thought they were made available to AV researchers.

These files were submitted several times over the years. Are you telling me everyone who ever checked it out, failed to find its behavior suspicious?

Or were they told/paid to keep it off the detection list?
