But it's been lossy compressed into a big parameter store and you can't reproduce it exactly, so it's not the same ... also that means JPEGs a 50% compression and DVD encodes of BluRays should be totally legal for anyone to sell.

There are several copyright cases going through the courts right now. I have little doubt one will eventually request certiorari from SCOTUS. High courts in Europe might rule differently. The hypocrisy of all these companies is deafening. I hope someone just leaks GPT-5.x and/or Fable-5 at some point.

If I go will there be trouble?

I guess add it to the list?

This is what's so dumb about all this "social media is bad for children" bullshit. It's bad for adults! I deleted all my major social media in 2021:

I've know people who have said, "You've probably seen this on social media," pulling out their phone. I'm like, "How? How would I see your video on social media?!" They just automatically assume we're friends on Facebook, even though they've never seen me online or never seen a post, because I'm literally not on there. Even when I had it I never went to the live feed. I'd always go to my page first and then individual pages. The way people use social media by default has disconnected us for individuals.

My current phone doesn't run Google services of even microG:

There's almost no reason for me to ever get my phone out, unless I want to show a photo to someone. Sometimes I'll reach for it and realize it is still in my car. I use it for photos, podcasts, music and texts and that's about it. Over five days of battery life most weeks!

I absolutely cannot stand people who invite me out, and we're in a bar or restaurant or at an event, and they are constantly on their phones. It's like, "Dude, we're here. Live. This live right here!" Those angry tweets will still be there later.

Facebook was funded by Peter Theil, has ties to US intelligence agencies and just happened to launch the day DARPA shut down Digital LifeLog (just a coincidence I'm sure). These tools are not your friends. Stay off them, and instill those values in your children if you want any hope of them escaping the coming surveillance state and the current trend to narcissistic broadcast culture and society.

Kinda terrifying these pressure vessels ended up on their coast. If they fell off during a launch window, coastal authorities in most nations do try to keep the launch path clear to prevent any potential harm. But if these fell off an existing satellite and survived, that could have been deadly if they hit a cargo ship. I am curious if they're going to release the name of the owner. There's not much as far as launches around Australia. There's RocketLab over in Auckland, New Zealand. I have a buddy who worked there and they've done some amazing stuff. Could be one of theirs.

Yea it sounds like marketing fluff. Unless they can gather a lot of solar power, it seems like any attempt to thrust to the moon would take several months or years. I wonder if they even have such a test planned? Maybe at the end of their chart in the "if we somehow have a lot of left over money" phase.

At this point, nobody truly at the top of this space is expecting any kind of return at all. This is endgame for the economy as a whole. Sam "Alternate-man" and Dario are likely fully away of the government and banking interests that are pushing hard for a total and complete financial collapse to replace the dollar, euro, ruble and other major currencies with new digital currencies; money that can be programmed to only be spendable on certain categories of goods.

The collapse is coming soon, but it won't be what anyone is expecting. Our economy is about to evaporate.

After Hogwarts Legacy on disc didn't contain the damn game was when I finally got around to hacking my PS4 Pro:

https://battlepenguin.com/gami...

My PS5 has been disconnected from the Internet for over a year but it still has firmware 10.40. The only hack is using a Lua exploit and the only physical disc that can do it was a Limited Run Star Wars game that now goes for over $400 on eBay. The digital version could do it too, but Sony, not only patched the exploit, but changed the store so that all new games purchased have a 30 day expiration window so they can force patch updates.

That's right. When you purchase a digital game on PS5, if you get disconnected from the Internet for a month, the game stops working. Not sure if you can just turn back the system clock either.

Fuck Sony and piracy is now 100% fully justified.

Every state has gas companies. That's not the point. It's not anywhere near as common in Florida as it is in the North East corridor. In Chicago, nearly every apartment has gas stoves and even gas dryers.

You're right. This is about creating new "carbon markets" and pumping money into such frauds. It doesn't stop pollution and is all based around the religion of global warming.

It's intentional. I think this was all a show and, to some extent, a psychological operation.

I think this was all for show for both Anthropic and the government. It pushes the "scary A.I." narrative, and gives Antrhopic the excuse it needs to require your government ID. I wrote about this before:

It's important to read the actual decision to understand the arguments instead of just shrieking for your political sports team.

It has long been established that federal courts may not issue “advisory opinions” that do not bear on the rights of the litigants before them. Lewis v. Continental Bank Corp., 494 U. S. 472, 477 (1990). At the appellate stage, this prin ciple means that courts should resolve only those questions on which a favorable ruling would provide a litigant redress from the judgment below. See Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, 588 U. S. 427, 432–433 (2019). The question on which the Court granted certiorari in this case cannot satisfy this requirement under any colorable view of the law. The Court should therefore decline to answer it. Okello Chatrie’s ongoing stake in this case stems from his conviction for robbing a bank and brandishing a firearm. On appeal, Chatrie challenged those convictions on only one ground. He argued that the District Court erred in denying his motion to suppress the fruits of the geofence procedure Cite as: 609 U. S. ____ (2026) ALITO, J., dissenting

3 that led to his identification as the bank robber.1 So, unless he can show that this evidence should be suppressed, he cannot obtain any relief. And his chances of making the showing needed to justify suppression are virtually zero. The police obtained information about Chatrie’s location at the time of the robbery pursuant to a warrant issued by a neutral magistrate. And when evidence is obtained under such a warrant, a defendant seeking suppression must overcome the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule. United States v. Leon, 468 U. S. 897, 923 (1984). A majority of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting en banc, held that Chatrie could not do so. 136 F. 4th 100, 101 (2025) (Diaz, C. J., concurring); id., at 114 (Niemeyer, J., concurring); id., at 115 (King, J., concurring); id., at 115, n. 1 (Winn, J., concurring in judgment); id., at 142 (Hey tens, J., concurring). That holding suffices to affirm the District Court’s admission of the geofence evidence and thus independently supports the Fourth Circuit’s judg ment. Accordingly, any review by this Court should concern an issue that could at least plausibly disturb that good-faith holding. Cf. Stewart v. IHT Ins. Agcy. Group, LLC, 990 F. 3d 455, 457 (CA6 2021).

On this score, today’s decision fails. The majority does not dispute the Fourth Circuit’s good-faith analysis, and nothing in its opinion casts a shred of doubt on that holding. See ante, at 10, n. 4. To overcome the good-faith exception, Chatrie would need to show that either (1) the affidavit sup porting the geofence warrant was knowingly or recklessly

4 CHATRIE v. UNITED STATES ALITO, J., dissenting false, (2) the magistrate rubber-stamped the warrant appli cation, (3) the affidavit was “‘bare bones,’” or (4) the war rant application was so facially deficient that no reasonable officer would rely on it. Leon, 468 U. S., at 923, and n. 24. Yet nothing in the majority opinion touches on any of these matters. Thus, nothing in today’s decision bears on the Fourth Circuit’s good-faith holding. And because that hold ing independently supports the judgment below, the Court’s opinion is advisory.2 This outcome was guaranteed as soon as this Court granted certiorari. ...

This case doesn't meaningfully change anything about the defendants situation. It will get sent back to the lower courts, but there is still quite a ways to go to get any of the other evidence thrown out as fruit from the poisoned tree.

You people should really read the decision.s
