As far as I'm following it, the court didn't suggest the prompt was not a protected work. But what the court did say is that the logo wasn't (sufficiently) derived from the prompt; those 300 words weren't contained or

Interesting thought experiment is to consider an author who writes a novel in English, but wants to translate it into German. They have a copyright on the original, and if they hire a human, the human would have a copyright on the translati

That is the claim , yes. But no evidence has been presented, and it feels very unlikely to me.

I'm a bit skeptical Google ever treated `fname.lname@gmail.com` and `fnamelname@gmail.com` as different accounts. I registered the `fname.lname` version very early on (before GMail was freely available), and while I do sometimes get

Unfortunately, that's unrelated; only models released after August 2nd support it so far, according to Anthropic.

As per the link, the words in the green and red groups are calculated dynamically, so it's not like the model is going to be told "use 'unique' over 'unusual'" and suddenly writing from the model will co

Headline discusses missiles (which are topical); the article is mostly about radars in F-35s, and admits halfway through it's because a procurement schedule slipped. This is just clickbait; there's no content here.

Bets with a positive edge can be found most commonly via sports betting, poker games, and the stock market. Although note that most bets you can find via such methods do not have a positive edge, and the edge is not labelled. More generally

Not exactly on topic, but I have to endorse mise; it's a really, really great tool that solves a number of different problems. Example: I was recently working on a large project that needed a specific version of Python, and there'

I'm absolutely open to the argument that Jani has does something wrong, but nothing you've said has really even accused them of anything. If you want to define doxing narrowly (as it was historically) then I would agree that all

As someone else noted, Amazon sent a cease and desist letter when someone tried more-or-less the same thing on them ( https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-perplex... ), so it's absolutely a doub

Odd story. If you strip out the "Amazon" and "AI" stuff, the core seems to be that there's a tech company offering a service called Buy For Me which crawls various merchants who operate their own storefronts, lists

I mean, the S in CFS stands for "syndrome", which is "a set of medical signs and symptoms which are correlated with each others [...] When a syndrome is paired with a definite cause this becomes a disease." (From wikiped

I don't think that's quite right? There's been a fair amount of evidence pointing at possible issues, but there's no clear answer due to poor (or just different) study design, small sample sizes, different criteria acros

I mean, you can screw it up using SI units too! Eg https://x.com/HaydenDonnell/status/1503916925713547264 > A strapping newborn baby boy is understood to have set a New Zealand record, weighing in at a whopping

I'm using it from NZ and Australia and found it blazing fast. No lower than Google certainly! I wonder if it'd be worth reaching out to Kagi support.

Fundamentally both "gambling" and "insurance" are about trading a stream of small guaranteed payments for a chance at receiving a large payment. More generally, it's about trading risk. In insurance the risk is tran

That's not entirely fair. The problem is that Google forces actual good cooks to make their recipes look like worthless blogspam, but a good original recipe is not actually worthless blogspam, even when disguised in the way Google re

Also a happy customer, but I didn't know about that feature. That's quite useful; thanks for mentioning it.

I sympathise with the author and agree that there are some pretty terrible stories and numbers floating around, but the unstated premise of the article seems to be: The game industry is monolithic, it has recently undergone a sweeping chang

That isn't what your linked graph shows. Slightly different hypothetical: World 1: Men evaluate women on highly idiosyncratic scales. They "like" women in the top 53% of their personal scale, but it's a different scale f

Again, you're assuming that men and women are using the app in the same way, and that a "like" means the same thing. If you assume that women typically only "like" men they would be open to dating, but men will &quo

Absolutely not. If anything, that's further evidence of my point, and I literally almost mentioned it before deciding my comment was getting a bit rambling already. Anyhow, assuming for the sake of argument that OKCupid's data is

Such statistics can be difficult to parse. Hypothetical: Person A chats with five people. Two seem okay, two seem like poor choices, one seems unhinged and is quickly blocked. Of the two good options they go on a date with each, selects one

I would be somewhat skeptical of that without hard evidence. It's certainly trivial to find (many, many) examples of single men complaining that there are literally no women in the dating pool while simultaneously discounting out of ha

I mean, given a roughly 1:1 gender ratio that would be difficult to be entirely true. And I suspect if you speak with many women, you'll get some pretty strong pushback on this. More systematically, surveys consistently show equal leve
