“Reproduction of the Disney logo is clear trademark infringement. I would imagine that is why the AI might be jumbling the logo,” Andrew White, partner at IP law firm Mathys & Squire, tells The Financial Times.

Doesn't seem clear to me.

I'm allowed to sketch out the Disney logo by hand, right? But I'm not allowed to place their trademark on any of my own products or services.

Microsoft's tool reproduces the Disney logo. Searching "Disney logo" in Google Images also reproduces the Disney logo. I can print the logo from my shitty black and white printer to my heart's content, right?

From Bing's terms of use, section 7:

Think about how and why you joined in the first place, and see if that is being fulfilled. For example, I joined because I wanted to be able to practice communicating with people in writing and to share some of my stories. Interacting on here still gives me that feeling. It's not the same sense of community I get from the programming language community in my city. But there's a little bit of something here that I can't seem to find elsewhere yet.

You mentioned "isolating addiction". If you have that feeling it's time to take a break.

I think the author themselves needs to hear it!

A few years back people who had HTC Vives and whatever else seemed pretty keen to let people have a go. Sharing interests and all that. Maybe you can ask around in your local area somehow?

Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!

My colleagues back in the early bitcoin and cryptocurrency days were mining across any spare infra and customer servers they could get their hands on. Back when you could do it with just CPU.

Haha no worries mate I totally get you. One of the best things about LLMs when I’ve played with them is it exercises my ability to write questions and requirements

Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)

Let’s say a function, about 20 lines. Something too small to warrant an external dependency but tricky enough that you don’t want to keep rewriting it.

I have things like a function to read through a file of newline delimited text of key-value pairs separated by whitespace. It skips comments (lines beginning with “#”), and returns the pairs. I’m happy to do a little copying instead of having a little dependency.

Alpine Linux might be good, too. It’s different. But that makes it a great exercise. See https://drewdevault.com/2021/05/06/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.html

I mean, I get it. But... damn.. can you imagine the relative computing power required to read a text file versus asking a LLM to generate that same text?

I got a T480s for approx. 350USD. Battery life is fine and parts are cheap. Can't really fault it... I guess the screen could be brighter? Great little machine.
