Thanks for posting the summary. I originally thought it was going to be something like that James Bond movie where the nose cone of the rocket opens up and “eats” the satellite.

One can dream…

So yesterday’s Anthropic victory said that the use of copyrighted works to train LLMs was fair use, but only because Anthropic had been buying and scanning in the media so the first sale doctrine was protecting them. Did the judge in the facebook case now really say that it was ok to pirate the materials in the first place because there was no market harm? That seems impossible, it seems like it would open up a huge loophole in copyright law.

Ah the old “owe $100 and the bank owns you; owe $100,000,000 and you own the bank” defense.

There are suddenly a lot of those little lending libraries in my neighborhood again. I feel like they were a big thing maybe 10-15 years ago and then fell by the wayside. In the last year I’ve noted 4 or 5 new ones, well stocked, and on one occasion saw someone put a book in and take another out. Just simple, well-mannered neighborliness.

😂

Wait that’s what you would do if you had nothing to lose? Why wouldn’t you just do that now?

FYI many credit cards will allow you to make virtual numbers which you can then use for individual purchases or groups of purchases. They were originally meant to help combat fraud but I use them for subscription services so that if they give me a hard time about quitting I can simply cancel the card number and file a dispute (which in my few experiences has always gotten me my “overage” fees back)

Yes, but you can medicate ADHD. There’s no entry in the DSM for brain rot (yet).

Agreed. I think I’m fairly well read and I’ve worked through a decent number of philosophical texts, but I’ve never finished Walden.

The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.

He’s a modern day arms dealer.

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

On the other hand, oh hell no.

So pleased whenever I run across a lemmy-specific comic or meme. Makes me feel like we really made it.

I know we’re all here for the LOLs, but just a quick reminder: it’s ok to enjoy things without being able to monetize them.

And it was powered by Linus Torvalds!

I don’t think the Mediaworkstations a-X2P ever came out of “limited production”, but with an EPYC processor, desktop GPU and 6 screens it still meets the mark IMO.

[Edit]: Sorry, a pair of EPYC processors. And it’s a shipping product.

I think that is literally how it’s done today.

Yes technically, but… I was gonna say “how would you even act on that?” but decided I’d prefer not to know.
