I wouldn't be surprised if they would eventually get acquihired by nVidia. Simply providing all that code and infrastructure to the community is a big boon to raise the value and sales of nVidia hardware; the classic strategy principle

I believe that some of the most valuable short-term use cases for AI/ML seem to be "feature, not a product" - this means that the incumbents making various products can unlock lots of competitive value by adding those feature

No, in this analogy the punishment is aimed at Nike employees who after creating a shoe for kicking puppies also operated puppy-kicking-as-a-service with that shoe. The people charged are the subset of the Tornado Cash devs who ran the serv

Lots and lots of organizations would want a strong ChatGPT-like tool which is trained on a specific (likely not open) dataset of their choosing in addition to all the large general data that grants "common sense" and language unde

This. There are so many things you notice while living in a particular house which would have been trivial to fix in planning stage, but impractical after it's built.

There are 50000 reels, and digitizing them is not nearly instant - if you just load a new roll each time you pass by the machine, you'll have digitized a tiny random fraction, without any prioritization.

An interesting thought is that the examples in your documentation don't necessarily need to be static and the same for everyone. For example, if a user is logged in, you can autofill the appropriate accounts/domains/ids/

Cellebrite won't sell that thing to most police forces (they might sell the service to them, in a way where they don't get their hands on the actual exploits), so I'd assert that it is tricky for Apple to get this. This i

They buy and build unpublished exploits and hide them so that they don't get patched - that's why the key software is tricky to get even for gov't agencies, some things for breaking fully-patched recent phones Cellebrite will

It seems that the point which parent post wanted to make with "your DNA is not really yours" is that matching your DNA does not really need your DNA, as the DNA of your relatives (e.g. that aunt which opted-in to some genetic test

The tech industry has sufficient money and influence for lobbying to push this one through. The media industry did the DMCA adjustments to copyright reasonably fast, and tech industry is even more powerful and wealthy.

I think that the proper outcome for all of this would be acknowledgement that the current copyright laws very poorly regulate this aspect, that the key parts of any such legal action are at the not-really-described edges of law because thes

It seems to make sense, but is problematic in practice - for example, for pharmaceuticals it might take half of the total patent time until you are able to sell a product based on the patent, as getting FDA approval could take something lik

Because in this scenario selling the water rights to someone else would bring more money than not selling and using those water rights themselves for e.g. farming rice on that land.

Why would any farmer in California ever sell their land (to which the water rights are linked) for ANY single payment? Or, really, why would any landowner anywhere, getting money from rent, would give that up for ANY single payment? Of cour

The whole point that this pricing needs to achieve is that those particular places should abandon certain types of water-intensive farming.

No, because one of the traditional use-cases why patents were made is so that an inventor of a novel solution can get investment to get that invention actually implemented without risking that the investors will just steal the invention; or

There's no need to perish on that hill or confront anyone, a report to the local data protection agency should suffice to get it investigated and corrected, although it may take quite some time.

It might not be 100% coercive, however, at least in the EU the general legal principle seems to be that by default it should be assumed that it is coercive, due to the inherent power imbalance in employment contracts. E.g. PriceWaterhouseCo

At least in EU that clause is not binding, if you sign the handbook (or a contract) agreeing to it, that doesn't give the employer permission to do it - there are multiple precedents with GDPR fines for employee monitoring despite doin

Sure, but the contents of what that proposed agreement can be - and are - limited by law. You can't offer a salary below minimum wage even if both parties agree. You can't have people work hours above a certain limit even if both
