My previous landlord was the IT manager of [big bank everyone would recognize] at their headquarters. When he asked me to email him scans of a bunch of personal documents, I asked him for his PGP key. ..."What's that?"

Not that it is necessarily the case here, but when execs go "AI shopping" they have absolutely _zero_ idea that there are basically 3-4 SOTA models, thousands of smaller models, and then an uncountable number of wrappers on whatev

It's even worse than that, because they are adamant that they aren't abusing the system, and insist that if they didn't want people doing it, they would stop taking returns.

Zitron is just a rage farmer that tells angry people what they want hear while selling them subscriptions. Maybe he is well meaning, but it's pretty common these types are just milking an audience that they dialed in on with zero regar

I implore everyone to take on a nut and bolts (or resistors and transistors) hardware project sometime in their life to learn what it's like working on "Mother Nature OS". I guess a more relatable way of conveying this is tha

Never, because you have to pay for pen an paper, and the most reliable way to determine what the internet will favor is simply "Does it cost money or show me ads". That is literally as deep as the internets interest goes.

Blame the brain damaged judge that literally told Google "The Apple app store is not a monopoly because Apple has no competitors on their platform." Google is just doing what they need to do to stop being a monopoly....by becoming

$200 for an emergency specialty service is shockingly...fair?

The worst thing about the modern internet is people's innate expectation that others will work/pay to entertain or inform them for free. What existed in 1993 was a cultural blip, it's never coming back, so let it go.

It's not just Google, the Internet stops existing. I know people have rosy eyes for a BBS/IRC comeback, but that will never happen. By and large, people don't care about having to look at tide and Toyota ads to watch YouTube.

That article is brilliant, can't believe I have never seen it before. The media (especially in today's environment) works to sell ad views, not make the reader more informed. Way (way) too many people think that because the media

The next two replys are people telling me it's corporations... Maybe 10ish years ago the left was all on board with individual action, but now it has heavily shifted to "I can drive my SUV because it's on Big Oil to fix the c

The right thinks it's a hoax and the left thinks it's on corporations (not themselves) to fix it. To put it plainly, everyone wants the problem to go away without having to change anything about their lifestyle.

Can someone explain to my non-programmer self what the deal is with Rust? Even not being in the tech space, I have long picked up on this quasi-religous aura around it.

A jury deciding the case would exclude people who play the games or play them heavily. IP protection is about reasonable confusion in the public. Not experts in field getting confused.

The EU is cooked unless they can figure out domestic industry. They currently have a US tech stack because they strangled Euro tech in the cradle, and now that things are rough with the US, they are looking to China to be their new, err, &q

And you would bet your life savings that the general public, including a jury, would know that? They would look at Minecraft and say it's a clearly different game? "Obviously the real Spiderman has an "i" and not a &quot

The design or gameplay isn't the issue, the aesthetic is clearly Minecraft. You can't take Minecraft assets, mix the pixels around a little bit, and then be legally free and clear. If the public looks at pictures of your game, and

Usually the benchmark is "would a person reasonably confuse this for being the IP of another company" https://www.luanti.org/media/gallery/5.jpg C'mon...

A clone isn't the benchmark for breaking the law though, substantial similarity is. There are a gazillion cases that establish this, and the reason why you can't just paint spiderman green and start selling t-shirts with "spy

But the IP is, and it's jury that would likely decide. So with a straight face, you think a jury wouldn't call this Minecraft? https://www.luanti.org/media/gallery/5.jpg Also Luanti probably could doge a

The internet was never free, it was just people other than you carrying the cost. Those people are the ones who control the internet, not you.

I don't know about ars and discord, but netflix, prime, and yt all have ad-free and ad-subsidized options. There is also the degree to which people consider something ad free. A character using an iPhone in a show could be considered a

People need to just take responsibility and pay for shit. Like if you don't want to be kicked around, you need to be the one kicking. People interpret business as hostility because they cannot conceive of the idea that they themselves

If you look at the screenshots of the game in question, it's pretty obvious what is going on https://www.luanti.org/en/#gallery Even though those are mods, it's a bad look to be holding those up as reference

Unfortunately (or fortunately, juries are generally a good thing), it's a jury of randos that will be shown the screenshots and asked to make a determination. https://www.luanti.org/en/#gallery What percentage of

Right, I can only imagine the most foolish DC operators are excited about this. Just more gas on the political fire, when DCs should be boring and out of public politics, even if they rank 15th for water consumption and 8th for energy consu

3.5 was almost certainly a 3.1 post-train, so likely a small investment on Google's part. They mentioned that they have already started pretraining Gemini 4, which will be the full ground up rip-your-face-off-expensive training that is
