Also a good one. And no, we cannot show you because "national security"...

Yep. In fact a pretty bad idea. But I think they are getting desperate.

You apparently have no understood what model collapse is. Here is a hint: It cannot be avoided. The first few papers about it already proved that.

That stunt only works once. Everything to keep the hype going a bit longer, I guess.

It would be amazing for me at work where we don't have a license for Acrobat which allows us to do that, except they install Chrome and not Firefox on our PCs (because they like having us spied on I guess) so I still won't be able to do this.

The UK partitioned Palestine but did not found the nation of Israel. That was the US, and it was done through the UN. America always wanted to fuck up the middle east for economic and racist reasons, but I repeat myself.

Agreed, though the trend towards expansion of presidential power through executive orders goes back long before Biden. Back to Reagan, at least, and much of the root of it was in legislation signed by Carter (IEEPA). Every successive administration -- both parties -- has pushed the boundaries. Dubya was probably the worst, mostly because he had the biggest hammer. But the pattern is that each administration takes a bit more and when the other party gets elected, they don't give any of it back.

Very much a "both sides" problem.

Same with Python.

There is a feasible solution.

Make them continue to provide the service if they want to operate.

If they don't, terminate their licenses and require them to sell to someone who will do it.

I'd love to know how low the population density is when it's not cost effective to pull fiber where there is already pre-existing infrastructure. The power cooperative in my mostly rural county in east Tennessee started a fiber buildout just before Covid hit. The original idea was a three phase plan starting in the highest density (i.e. most profitable) areas first, using that revenue to finance less dense (i.e. less profitable) areas, then taking that revenue to finance the least dense (unprofitable) areas. The original project timeline from break ground to break even was something like 15 years.

Covid changed things, the state had some additional money for grants and there was a huge need from the school system for more bandwidth as they were providing wifi to the parking lots so students/county residents had better connectivity during the pandemic. The entire project scope was substantially completed around 2023. You now can get 10gbe anywhere in the electrical service area for less than $100/mo for residential customers.

Obviously, there are benefits when the infrastructure is owned by a cooperative where the membership has a real voice in what happens, but it doesn't have to be for this to be economically feasible.

Verizon doesn't meet that requirement.

My local tower, which they own, goes out after less than 36 hours

Using a work for AI training is not reproduction. It's not storing the works.

Creating the training corpus, on the other hand... That IS storing them, and completely as well.

This is a settlement for use which has already occurred under existing laws.

Your idea is fairly good but a counterproposal might be to change nothing but expiry, and go back to a 15 year copyright term with no extensions, which would serve everyone.

It supports snaps and charms.

Yeah, that's why no one should want this.

I wrote a howto on how to make your own apt archive years ago, but it's become outdated since. Maybe I should revisit that now in light of this.

My ISP offers failover wireless Internet service for my cable internet at a reasonable cost. I haven't adopted this yet, but I think it's pretty admirable that they do it, and it solves more than just the power loss problem.

There is a future where essentially everyone has large battery capacity at their residences and commercial facilities, and it will probably become mandatory. Sodium Ion battery tech is coming online in a big way, and it directly addresses the numerous issues that hinder endemic battery deployment today, including safety, reliability and (ultimately) cost. At that point, the obvious thing is: everyone gets batteries and the power system relies on their existence throughout the grid to solve its storage and reliability problems in a mundane and low cost manner.
