I just checked, and my iPhone is using 152 GB of storage. I have years of photos and videos on there. Apparently the 256 GB model was the right choice for me?

People without the "large amount of storage model" need to record video from the camera too. The justifications I see are to reduce the number of models needed to stock and to keep the purchasing decision simple for customers. The

It is totally common in business for certain broad topics of conversation to need to be retained for legal purposes, especially written communications. What makes you think "chat" is any different than email? My (IANAL) understand

Well you should ask a lawyer to explain to you the concept of a "document retention policy" long before you do anything that could possibly get you involved in litigation or an investigation.

They are a "private sector" company in the sense that they are not a "public sector" (i.e., government) entity. They are a "publicy traded" company (like Tesla) because their shares are available on the stock m

Chat online is communications in the real world. The main questions are around who is obligated to retain the messages and for how long.

I don't know if "cultural Marxism" is a real thing or not. What do I know is that I have not met anyone who used that term who could explain it, or most of their other very confidently-held beliefs either.

45,000 flights a day and fewer than two reports of unknown sightings a month. Commercial airline pilots truly are some of the most reliable among humans.

I'd be kinda surprised if they let outsiders do their calligraphy for them.

If "random" implies "contains no information", then it is indeed a bug in anything calling itself a "random number generator". But that's just my opinion. The world is free to use the word however it wants

That's not all he said. Also, look up the meaning of the word 'prospect' before claiming it couldn't possibly be 'objectification'.

The most obvious problem with it is that he used an official classroom forum to dispense dating advice specifically to his students. Students who were just there to learn couldn't really avoid it. The student asking for the advice prob

25 years ago, in Florida, my wife, our new baby, and I were all sleeping soundly upstairs, when at about 2 AM the phone rang. "Hello?" I ask groggily. "This is the police," the voice says. "Do you know who's dr

I watched some on a recommendation and used to see some of their ideas on X-Twitter. One conclusion I came to was that I didn't respect those people's ability to discern or conclude.

I think the most likely outcome is that AI will eventually produce art that most humans prefer to that created by humans, and humans may not even remember a time when art came from humans. Are you old enough to remember when humans planned

It's funny how this topic seems to make people's brains and reading comprehension just switch off.

I think the encrypted DVD is the best analogy I've heard so far. In fact, I once asked an actual lawyer about the information-theoretic questions raised by illegal/infringing content known to be on an encrypted storage device. Her

No one is arguing that AI LM's can reproduce copyrighted material verbatim. I have AI LMs running locally on my GPU. They cost less than a photocopier or CD burner to operate. Pennies.

The courts often handle new technologies by default simply by assigning responsibility to the people who operated it for the specific uses in question, such as reproduction.

Read what you just wrote again. Do you see a difference between training and reproduction?
295.
by marshray 3y ago
Yeah, I agree that being confident about this is a good sign you don't understand it.

I can train a human (such as myself) to reproduce entire song lyrics, verbatim. We have entire professions (musicians, actors) who develop this ability. Is that, in your view, 'illegitimate' too? Why or why not?

The monster's name was Frankenstein. His birthright identity was the central theme of the story.

Fascinating! Also, the root "corp[us]" literally means "body". Corporations are Frankensteins, basically.

May be another instance of the overall "We both know that I'm a terrible boss and this is a terrible place to work so obviously I can't respect anyone who would continue to work for me" syndrome.

No, ask any psychiatric professional. Brains have the capacity to produce an unlimited amount of absolutely repugnant possible thoughts that simply do not need thinking. Without the ability to pre-filter thoughts, a person is unable to func
