I think there's a good case that it's transformative entirely. It doesn't just spit out NYT articles. I feel like saying they "stole IP" from NYT doesn't really hunt because that would mean anyone who read the NYT and then wrote any kind of article at some point also engaged in IP theft because almost certainly their consumption of the NYT influenced their writing in some way. ( I think the same thing holds up to a weaker degree with generative image AI just seems a bit different sometimes directly copying the actual brushstrokes etc of real artists there's also only so many ways to arrange words)

It is however an entirely new thing, so it's up to judges for now to rule how that works.

Absolutely, I'm just understanding of his perspective as the person who started it all and has that deep emotional attachment to it, which as someone who has watched it grow from nothing has a small taste of, his name is all over it, it's hard to not take criticism personally, it doesn't excuse what he said but it makes a lot more sense in that context.

Incidentally they have been deliberate about rebranding as acronyms etc to move his name away from the brand a little, since it's no longer just "Linus and friends" and a whole ass thing.

They just posted a better response on Floatplane this morning it should hit YouTube soon

I've used computers for years like that, also these card edge connectors are pretty standard and can be easily replaced by anyone who can do basic soldering.

It's just the word for it in the UK. Not the formal medical one, but I'd hardly call it slang either.

I feel like I might have done something similar in his shoes. It makes me sad because I've been watching since the NCIX days I think Linus is a lot better than this but I can put myself in his shoes and it probably feels a hell of a lot like people dogpiling on him out of the blue (even if that's not entirely the reality) and a betrayal by the industry he helped grow for over a decade. I don't see him as a villain by a long shot but his go go go attitude is toxic at times and has come to a head.

His post to me reads more as someone who is anxious and scared of what might come next. I think he fucked up by not waiting to put some distance between himself and the reckoning so he could address it properly with a clear head.

lifetime fluid usually means "lifetime of the warranty" There are incredible high tech oils now that can easily last 100k mi in their intended use but they don't work forever.

while we are on this topic the Detroit recommended oil change interval for the semi I drove was 85k miles, so basically slightly more than anually. Completely blew my mind, though in between oil changes they also took samples and tested them which is a big part of what makes that possible otherwise you'd change it at 35k to be safe. also the things took 5 gallons of motor oil, so a smaller proportion of the oil is being pummeled by the crankshaft bearings and piston seals, at least that's how it was explained to me.

Yeah I was about to mention that, It's exactly where that terminology came from.

Yeah I mean fuck the DMCA in general but I can't imagine the adhoc fuckery that would have replaced it.

Yeah, the OG pea soup gameboy screen is an engineering marvel for it's time and the game boy pocket is even better, the GBA is too, but an utter failure at actually providing a good user experience.

alcohol gel pot, the little tins with blue goo in them used by caterers.

Though judging by the small glass in there you either burn alcohol directly or use a candle.

PS5 "slightly less massive" version.

adapters work. a minor inconvenience at worst.

I've only gotten malware on windows once, and I was doing something pretty dodgy "downloading linux ISOs" while half asleep. But it requires some effort to stay away from and on mac you almost don't have to think about it.

Macs do literally nothing I need a computer to do aside from web browsing, so I never got into them, always opting for thinkpads with windows or linux on them for my work machines and desktops with windows for gaming. If they fit your use case they are amazing though.

That's not even tin foil hat territory it's longstanding MO for chemical and pharmaceutical corps. The pattern is super obvious in pharma.

People just generally don't understand design or manufacturing at all it might as well be magic to the layman "all you gotta do is..." yeah sure that would make a better product in absolute quality terms, if it's possible at all, but you have to balance it against 100 other things.

There's a reason there are rooms full of relatively high paid individuals with fancy degrees or decades of experience.

It's all on their end, though I've had limited success asking nicely, it's just there so businesses don't just order the cheaper plan and then they have to deal with all the extra traffic and support for many users. Just assuring them that I am just running as a single user my own email server they were cool with it on small local ISPs bigger corps won't give you the time of day on that issue.

AFAIK that's never been borne out by a trial.

The driver is always responsible for the car regardless so in reality I don't see it being an important point. Yes if something fails and it causes an accident you are on the hook if you had modified that system or failed to maintain it properly. The onus would always be on the driver to prove the manufacturer was negligent if they believe the car was not manufactured properly or designed safely.

So I wouldn't mess around with self driving (personally I'd never even use it from the factory) but there's little risk in touching many other things, these systems are designed to compartmentalize and fail safe even when you tinker with them. Though maybe not in Teslas case because they mistake the tribal knowledge of over 100years of automotive design and manufacturing for inefficiency. but I do not know a whole lot about Tesla computer systems, in ICE cars I mostly only touch the engine controls, and maybe traction control. In my current car I suppose you could do some real fucky things with electric power steering and brake by wire.

Most tuners won't go beyond messing with throttle curves and traction control when it comes to anything safety related, as neither would cause any kind of serious failure unless you tried to re write the code to do something it wasn't meant to to begin with.
