Yes, my understanding is that non-humans in the USA, cannot be granted copyright. This puts the work in the public domain, which means it can't be relicensed. There was a much appealed case of a monkey taking a photo, where it was deci

If there is barely any code in those repos that you wrote, how can you license them under the GPL? You don't hold the copyright for it. This genuinely isn't an attack, I just don't think you can? The AI isn't granted cop

That is not the reason at all. Google was very new when the EU proposed these laws in 2000. It certainly didn't have a browser. I think the privacy provisions and disclosures required under GDPR give users more useful information (ie t

That may be, but meanwhile, these companies make a lot of money operating in Europe, so they need to follow the law. I think some of it is out of touch (omg, the cookie alerts!), but being able to understand what data a company retains abou

Many successful American tech founders and entrepreneurs don't have strong religious or spiritual beliefs. Both are true. I think finding self-motivation in life is important, particularly for entrepreneurs, but there are many sources.

Ok, let's just take your facetious argument on face value. So that's $5.80 / hr in our land that has a minimum wage of $24.95 / hr. Still, a bit over 20%, crappy for sure (if it was true). Now, of course, most people are

For those that would not remember, this was a real thing in the late 80s and 90s relating the cryptography. There were serious laws limiting the export a "modern" cryptography software from the USA. Some of us had to face up to th

I'm only now seeing this a week later, but for E = mc^2, m is the rest mass. rest mass = all the energies of the mass, not just its thermal energy. So, as it approaches 0 kelvin the thermal energy approaches 0 and the mass approaches i

is it actually "big" in Aus? I know MGA Thermal have a demo project that the gov funded, but is there anything in commercial use?

by Quarrel 1y ago
It does, but because you have to divide the energy change by c^2, it is really really hard to detect it, and mostly overwhelmed by other effects of the heating/cooling.

Fun to play with. It makes my Australian accent sound very English though, in a posh RP way. Very natural sounding, but not at all recreating my accent. Still, amazingly clear and perfect for most TTS uses where you aren't actually imp

In Australia, all companies must have a registered address, available on the register of companies (which isn't quite as open as I'd prefer, it isn't nearly as good as the UK's Companies House, for instance). This physic

This is my understanding, at least in US law. I can't remember the specific case now, but it has been ruled in the past, that you need human-novelty, and there was a case recently that confirmed this that involved LLMs.
