The original statement was about there being little incentive to create a work you don't "own" Difficulty in copying is irrelevant to owning it. Moreover, this does not address music or spoken word. A pre-copyright musician c

Bluesky is much better for this type of thing. It functions like X did 10 years ago: anyone can read the posts and subsequent thread, even if they don't have a Bluesky account. The main non-political issue with X is that those without

I use VSCode more often than PyCharm nowadays (same reasons as TFA, it's just too heavy), but unless something has changed in the last couple of months, you can disable the AI completions

> Releasing server code also exposes the inner workings of the company's technology. And yet releasing standalone servers back in the 00s was the norm, rather than the exception. I don't buy the argument.

The (Western) educational system still does this for PhDs. Grades barely matter, and in most places you have two oral exams in your entire 5 years: your qualifying exam, and your final defense. The reason it doesn't happen for the rest

You don't even need MB of training data for some ML applications. AI is the sexy thing nowadays, but neural networks (Torch is a NN library) are generally useful for even small regression and clarification problems. For some problems y

Assuming the agent doesn't forget or misinterpret anything. It would be much better to just have a deterministic minification script.

by StableAlkyne 5mo ago
Agreed. It would be one thing if it was a regular bash project that got minified via a script or something, since at least you could tell what it's doing. This is just spaghetti. Maybe it's spaghetti that runs, but code of this qu

Personally, I don't use GCP because of their history of getting bored with their products and abandoning them. It's nice, maybe I would use it for a personal project, but I go out of my way to discourage my engineering teams from

The future is going to be arguing with AI chat agents designed to waste your time. It's phone menus, but worse - at least most phone menus can get you to a human if you figure out the right incantation. This issue would have never gott

The state is capable, it is just unwilling to leverage its power to achieve a meaningful outcome. This is relatively normal across the country; NIMBYs and small landowners have outsized influence and ability to delay. China builds high spee

I'm not sure what the point being made here even is, beyond arguing just to argue? It does not matter in the US whether you use the current year or last modified date. At worst , omitting a date entirely makes it easier for the other

While this is certainly a creative way to interpret the copyright notice's date, I believe most people look at it as a "last updated" sort of thing.

Most people do so because everyone else does; it looks off if you don't see a copyright at the bottom of an otherwise professional site.

This sounds like pseudolegal folklore (in the US at least). Do you have any actual examples where this affected a case? In the US, you get copyright on your work automatically, with or without a label. The only thing a label does in the U
