Theft means and has always meant the unlawful deprivation of one's property. Physical or not. This is not debatable. Look it up. If no unlawful deprivation of property has taken place then no theft has taken place. Why is this concept

No, it can't be theft unless the service provider lost the channel being "stolen" to the "thief" which makes no sense. Things quickly become silly when we insist on using the wrong concept where it doesn't appl

> Copyright is a property right. No, it isn't. The hint is right there in the name. Copying does not deprive people of their property. That's why they came up with the word Infringement to use instead of Theft, because they are

I wonder whether generative AI will be thrown out with the bathwater once this issue hits critical mass the same way cryptocurrencies were. Both technologies provide real solutions to real problems faced by small sets of honest users, but t

I wonder how they verify the personhood of the people making the comments. I can see this process being easily abused if the comments aren't taken by real people in person. That said, I hope the US doesn't end up piling even more

Three points I want to make: - Models are nothing more than a statistical distillation of facts that can be traversed. They are not like software at all. Calling them software is like calling pachinko machines software. Nonsense. - Models a

I used to stream all my videos 144p less than 5 years ago because streaming any higher resulted in a stuttering buffering mess. Youtube was the only streaming service I could watch because most other sites didn't bother with resolution

What you should support is stricter laws and penalties on fraud. I have no issue with (and sometimes prefer) used or "non-genuine" third party parts as long as it's an informed decision. Don't throw the baby out with the

I agree with you in principle. Wasting energy like what this and hashcash do is unfortunate but that's what happens when you have an irrational hate towards a technology rather than how it is used. That said, modeling it after a genera

I largely ignore the licenses on this stuff and use it for commercial purposes. If they want to sue me, let them. In fact, I dare them. Their models are not copyrightable and I would not waste this opportunity to establish this fact.

So? No need to increase that number by allowing half-developed machine to kill even more people. Having those kids on the road is a necessary evil. Having those dumb machines on the road is not. AI should be trained safely off the roads or

This works for win32 apps too. It's what gtk should have strived to be. New features should have never been prioritized over API stability. What a shame.

The only reason to spend resources supporting this abandoned browser is because it claims to stand up for our rights. The day it stops is the day supporting it becomes meaningless. Mozilla made a lot of stupid decisions in the past but if t

I'd set up a simple page that blocks downloads while not doing much else to stop use in France. That way, you comply with the law by not offering it to the french while also allowing anyone there to use it if they want.
