The title says “Casio Adds Fitness Features to Original G-Shock Digital Watch”. They haven’t added features to the ‘original’ one at all. They’re releasing two _new_ G-Shock watches with more features, including some fitness features.

I think you’re very right about this. To me: - It’s important that my repos show up in GitHub search (self promotion, essentially). - In the ‘other direction’, Github search feels fairly comprehensive. I don’t feel the need to search for th

It’s runs on a JVM, right? Presumably it could be decompiled and cleaned up (might be a massive task - but possible), and the reconstructed source would fall under the Apache license. What a weird choice to make.

These systems always strike me as a failure of the file system and desktop metaphor. _The computer_ was intended to be the system you stored documents in, with paths to link between them, and any number of applications to do any number of t

From your long description of the travails of using your phone with a terminal, I’m not sure you know this: you can double-click the power button at any time, and it will do Face ID and pre-approve a transaction - _then_ you can hold it to

Pain? Like from them being too small or causing you to fall over or something? I’ve used them, they’re fine. IIRC quite large. I don’t remember them being amazing, so the water pressure was probably just at the ‘acceptable’ level. They have

Is it now impossible to train another LLM on web input? The genie is out of the bottle--you can spam prompts into anything (webforms, html, etc) and compromise new LLMs. The only reason openAI could do it with chatGPT is that people hadn&#

Yeah, I agree with that. I’m not sure it would really have changed the opinion of the court though. Personally I’d much rather the money being spent on this was spent on a campaign to change copyright law to allow things like CDL rather tha

The emergency library is definitely not what the case is about. You can read the decision and it’s hardly mentioned. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.53... It might be the case that it prompted

When I was studying AI at university 20 years ago, there was a running joke in the AI department that things were AI until they worked reliably, then they became Computer Science and the AI folks never got the credit. Like the best jokes th

The USA does this in secret? That does not seem plausible. Think of the coordination required.

Are e.g. AliExpress, Alibaba and TaoBao ‘different’ for sellers now? Like, do they need two or three separate accounts and the ability to process orders separately for each market, or will this complicate things for them?

The ruling discusses this (at length!) and concludes that even a buy-one-physical-lend-one-digital scheme would not be acceptable under current law.

Replying to your edit: The format shifting argument and first sale doctrine are discussed in the ruling. Notably in the section headed ‘3’ starting on page 28 - but also in other places.

That site seems to suggest it’s supported on Firefox as far back as Firefox 2 in 2006, which doesn’t really jibe with the article.

Not to mention that the only example screenshot in this announcement is of a (half?) naked person. Not the best way to advertise that it’s ready to replace mainstream video hosting. I can’t tell if this is obliviousness on the part of the a

Are you aghast at the number of points? It’s referring to two points from “The Chicago Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation”, which is understandably (I hope), a large (and respected!) guide.
