100% this! there are separate licenses for personal listening, public performance, use in another work (movie and TV)… there will likely be a license added for AI training to which some authors will opt into, some will opt out of… it’ll likely start very expensive, nobody will pay, someone will offer up
old works that aren’t selling well for bargain basement prices, make a killing, then others will see the success and slowly prices will follow and eventually prices will sit at a happy medium where AI companies can tolerate and copyright holders aren’t feeling screwed… well, i mean, they’ll be being screwed but their publishers will be making bank

that’s my totally out of thin air prediction anyway

it’s not even close to that black and white… i’d say it’s a much more grey area:

possibly that you buy a bunch of books by the same author and emulate their style… that’s perfectly acceptable until you start using their characters

if you wrote a research paper about the linguistic and statistical information that makes an authors style, that also wouldn’t be a problem

so there’s something beyond just the authors “style” that they think is being infringed. we need to sort out exactly where the line is. what’s the extension to these 2 ideas that makes training an LLM a problem?

you’re thinking of openbsd; not freebsd

sure, but a $1m over how many causes? i’d assume they don’t really even use freebsd, considering macos was based in openbsd? so i’d suggest that an employee match is pretty decent

kinda different there though… it’s trivial to add whatever data you like to images etc (and that’s without even resorting to steganography), but that data is only accessible with an application. i believe the question was intended as whether you could get a virus from downloading/playing media files… the content of that “hidden data” isn’t executable, so whilst it’s reasonable to say it’s possible to transport a virus via hidden data in media, it’s not reasonable to say that you can “get” a virus using that same method alone

omfg right?! i always call it out then they attack me and say im a tankie etc because im making a straw man without engaging with their point

no! i agree with your point which why i didn’t engage and disagree with the fact that you think its okay to use a disability as an insult ffs

it’s an emu. they won a war against the australian defence force. they do not surrender. you are not safe

run

smart contracts are turing complete… you can allow anyone you like to transfer ownership (including various government departments)… the point of a smart contract isn’t that only a single entity can definitively take action; it’s that all possible actions are expressed as code and queryable by other contracts

you’re totally right that right now smart contracts mean nothing, however we’re talking theoretical applications of a technology

you can write whatever revolution clauses you like into a smart contract: often they have timeouts so that if something goes wrong with the contract execution, at least nothing is lost forever

usually smart contracts like this rely on other things that exist on the blockchain: transferring ownership of something, etc… this way, the smart contract can release funds to the specified parties under provable conditions

these “things” that exist on the blockchain are sometimes representations of ownership (think like a deed for property: it’s just a piece of paper that represents ownership. that could easily exist on the blockchain, where the owner of the property is the person who is assigned the deed on-chain)… the you can have a smart contract that automatically releases funds to the seller once the deed has been transferred to the buyer

there are also things called “oracles”, who are independent, trusted (or sometimes not so independent or trusted; you have to be careful!) third parties who write information to the blockchain… in this case, say for example you make a bet with someone that the global average temperature goes above a certain point between block A and block B: there’s an oracle that just writes the daily global average temperature to the chain. you both deposit into a smart contract that specifies the rules and reads the temperature from the oracle, then distributes based on the results… this situation is less ideal, because it relies on trusting a 3rd party in several ways, however it’s worth mentioning because many people see this as equivalent to the former situation when it’s really not

i happen to agree with your point, however i don’t think it’s kind to people with a disability to use that disability as an insult

and you’re looking from the front of your car out toward the back of your car, where you vision is often blocked on either side… worst case scenario you have a truck either side of you in which case you literally can’t see more than a few degrees angle past the back corner of your car in either direction

probably best not to call people retards if you want to stay on the high road

parking spaces like that too: they’re not high speed, but people are often distracted, there are pedestrians wandering around… lots of unknowns you’re reversing into

AFAIK (and i could be totally wrong here; 3 phase is where my knowledge of electricity takes a sharp dip!) you can get up to 480V total on a 3 phase circuit in the US… 3 phase is what a lot of dedicated car charging circuits would run off

i had heard that US properties get 3 phase power by default and a lot of your circuits are split between the phases, where a lot of 230/240V countries get a single phase, and that you have certain 240V circuits for speciality things like clothes driers that operate somehow using multiple phases at once? or that could be total nonsense misremembering

… but also, houses in 240V countries (i’m in australia for example and we have 240) can also get 3 phase, and that’s often what’s added for electric vehicles

garden plug outlets should have an appropriate breaker on them for whatever they’re rated at… you can use them for whatever you like: they’re no different from an inside plug other than being weather proofed… why would they be any different? old extension leads are also fine for charging a car, as long as the insulation is fine and they’re rated the same as the breaker… again, why would they not be? its not like extension lead technology has exactly changed much: it’s a chunk of copper surrounded by non-conductive material

it doesn’t become a fire risk simply because it’s old…

world war 2 wiring kinda isn’t the issue… if the wires can handle 5a they should have a 5a breaker… the only problem with old wiring is the insulation could be done for and then it’s an issue of arcing which will cause a fire whether there’s something plugged into the socket or not!

electrical fires and safety here is not an issue unless the house isn’t up to code… so either they’re using it as a poor excuse, or they’re admitting that their house is unsafe under any circumstances

… or, possibly just as likely considering they’re concerned about “30hr” of charging: they’re just ignorant

that’s literally what the fuses and breakers are for

and if they have banned EV charging they should realise nobody is going to honour that rule anyway and stop being such a dick, suck it up, and get on with running their airbnb like a normal person that doesn’t care about a few of £ of electricity per mo

if you think it takes more time, or that it doesn’t make it easier to pull out then you sir don’t know how to reverse park and are so wrong that i’m not sure you have ever reverse parked
