It is more tricky to do p2p because not all viewers use stationary PCs nowadays. There are mobiles or wifi users, who cannot be the rebroadcaster nodes. Bittorenty style delivery maybe will work, just with higher delays. Youtube is probably

There is an english version. But pkp site loves to give you errors and timeouts too.

Oh, login here specially to reply. Not really, pkp site is an old slow garbage with bugs, it makes everyone cry. So, you can buy, just do not expect it would be a good experience buying. Apparently, railway companies cannot make sites.

It is not just regulations. It is because land + regulations are expensive, cutting costs is important. Now we also could count high interest rates. So, building as cheap and fast as possible is important to stay afloat. Example: making hou

Sell OSS software? The way OSS makes money is: hosting the service (good luck) or providing paid support (does not scale, unless u scale the number of your devs too).

The last time I've checked the draft, it looked like MySQL project would be responsible if a security bug occurs and responsible to do certification, because they provide paid support. But Amazon could just host MySQL without spending

Ra is pretty cool. Making cluster fault tolerant is an art on its own in Erlang ;) Riak Core is extremely cool, but Riak is dead by now. It was a child of the times when NoSQL was cool. Still, basho code is interesting to read. ( https:&#x2

I am expecting politicians would do some nice mental gymnastics regarding regulating this. All major IT companies are doing genai now and nobody wanna hurt the companies.

The example with experimental features is soo weird. It is like the author knows why experimental features exist but trying to play confused to fit the narrative. OK, nighty builds. So, some features could be coded, but haven't been te

Computers are deterministic. Giving the same inputs training would produce the same model. The comparison with brain is incorrect. You could add noise on input data during the training - it would more of less reproduce the real learning. St

The simple answer: supervision trees. And fault-tolerance usually means that the failing process would be restarted. It would not handle stuff like netsplits or node going down though. Check code of cowboy, ejabberd, MongooseIM, RabbitMQ fo

So, if someone decompiles a program and compiles it again, it would look different. "It is not copying", we just did some data laundering. Feeding someone else data into your system is usually a violation of copyright. Even if you

At least people do not obscure who is the original author of the content (so, if people like NYT articles - they could go and subscribe for more). Kinda "free advertising" (which still hurts the publisher in many cases, though). S

So, if someone applies a filter to a video/audio, it is no more "copies" of the original work (no, it is still protected). AI still could produce exact or extremely similar results of stuff it learned on.

Someone should train some AI on decompiled code of Windows (not encouraging, but it would be interesting). Copyright is important for corpos when it protects their interests. Producing exact text as in NYT articles is pretty much a copyrigh

oh, sure. NYT could go, we could replace it with AI generated garbage with non-verifiable information without sources. AI changed the landscape. Google search would be working less reliable because real publishers would be hiding info behin

In the incoming world of AI generated garbage content, Meta decided to kill feeds from your friends and pages you follow. That is "great" strategic planning.
