Just prompts are not considered to be "direction". The example in the US Copyright Office report was of a client providing "direction" to an architect, which did not provide the client with any claim of ownership over th

There are two different but related copyright problems with LLM generated code: 1. Making a derivative work of already existing copyrighted code that breaks that code's license (eg injecting GPL code in output). 2. Fully LLM generated

Do they offer the same indemnification that the code they generate IS subject to copyright and that you own that? Because the US Copyright begs to differ.

The fact that AI generated code is not subject to copyright means that your contribution is essentially public domain. This means that any license (GPL, BSD, Apache etc) are no longer enforceable on your contribution.

LLM-generated code is not subject to copyright.

Given that the GPL is entirely dependent on copyright to be enforceable, the fact that AI contributions are not copyrightable is something that is going to bite someone big very soon. The US copyright office has released a public report abo

If debugging is the art of removing bugs from programs, then programming must be the art of inserting them.

On rentals: Anecdata vs ABS statistics. No one is arguing that rents haven't gone up, but the rise peaked post COVID at ~8% and are now roughly reverted to the mean of 3-4% pa. On smart meters: Victoria has had them for 2 decades now.

Hope HVDC really takes off, having a power network that has solar feed covering 3 timezones as well as multiple latitudes adds to the national solar harvest and grid resiliency.

Smart meters don't make things better or worse, they are technology that enables better time-of-use metering than the century of multiple meters for peak vs off-peak consumption, as well as making meter reading/billing cheaper. Th

Victoria has had smart meters rolled out for over a decade. The rest of the states in the NEM are aiming for 2030 to complete their rollouts. Aside from the supposed "contentious" nature of smart meters, which is mostly the RW coo

Bullshit. Victoria's default offer will include the same offer from October [1]. Victoria has a separate regulator because it deregulated its electricity grid before the other states. [1] https://www.energy.vic.gov.au/h

Co-located PV/BESS or Wind/BESS is the best grid solution anyway. The REZs with transmission infrastructure (subsidized by government) will also add to the return. The good thing is that even with over a decade of conservative gov

Victoria has had smart meters for two decades. The rollout started in 2006 and was basically complete a decade later. The other states are aiming for a 100% rollout by 2030.

It applies in Victoria as well. Victoria deregulated its market before NSW/SA/Qld. All of the eastern states (SA/QLD/NSW/VIC/Tas) are part of a single market, with interconnects and wholesale prices set every 5

They are, and they are being rapidly rolled out and the "post sunset" spikes are rapidly being flattened by both grid storage and "behind the meter" home batteries.

That's what is happening, the daily supply charge has been bumped up as well as the $/kWh during the other periods. But it will still have the desired effect of shifting usage patterns, especially for people with rooftop solar and

Using "on pace to miss its own forecast" is a weird way of phrasing "OpenAI made it up to bullshit the rubes". Not to mention that being "on pace" is usually a term that means "keeping pace with".

No one seems to be worried about the fact that a vibe-coded app or conversion or rewrite is not copyright-able. It is not a derivative, it's a machine translation, without a human author. So if that is released to the public, it&#x27

They effectively funded the legal defense against SCO that was trying to claim ownership of the IPR to Unix/Linux. They bought and funded (and still fund) Redhat which funds Fedora and GNOME and Wayland and systemd.
