I agree with the sentiment implied by the author, but I would reword it slightly. If you don't have the freedom to share something, you don't own it. I disagree with the interpretation that it needs to be held physically. Digital

This game was released via a physical release on the Nintendo Switch. It's very clearly intended for teens+.

I think most small communities will stand bot-free because there's little incentive to have bot engage with it. But I wonder if there's a size of conversation after which people will still choose AI assisted summaries. Discord had

I tutor advanced math and science and so have updated my daily driver along with whatever students were most likely to come across. In the past it was a ti 84 and then ti 89 titanium. But in the last decade schools have also embraced Desmos

I have had a bad experience using the modern iTunes/native music app. It's clear that Apple has moved away from local first features.

Merry christmas y'all and happy holidays. I can't put in to words how much I appreciate the culture on HN and the conversations I've been a part of. It's the only social media site where I enjoy reading my historical mes

The polar verity sense is what you're looking for. It connects to your phone via ble so it doesn't need a display. It's not as popular as a chest strap.

I've never run in to that issue in the last 10+ years of using notepad++ with these plugins. Since my autosave location is dropbox, it's automatically backed up the moment the file is saved. I've set my control+n to a new not

I use the autosave and take notes plugin in notepad++ which makes it perfect for this use case. I have it set to autosave when the window loses focus. And the take notes plugin lets me set a default filename with timestamp and save director

Yandex is a genuinely good alternative. For text search, it isn't overly censored in relation to DMCA risks. Appending terms like 'torrent' actually work. For exact text searching, I found Yandex results to be better. And Yan

DRM limits hardware options significatly. Open standards are embraced even when they come later, AV1 vs HEVC is a great example. The standard will exist but hardware adoption of the standards is often weaker, which I consider killed. DRM is

I can't imagine myself watching a livestream of something like LTT. On the other hand, I have listened to 'Lofi HipHop' and 'oldies playing in another room' and aquarium/submarine streams. For videos where it&#

Similar to how most people have shifted to permanent shuffle for the song selection queue, online streaming caused the same shift in how people decide what to watch. Familiary with existing media is what keeps people tied to services, and a

I am glad, I won't miss this feature. This will also mean there is less adoption of the new stanard and so the old standard will be kept around for longer. ATSC 3 was guaranteed to fail the moment it intoduced DRM into the standard. Th

Correlation is not causation. Piracy related free web streaming has existed since the moment it became possible to profit/run with ads. Looking at a list of the most popular torrents makes it clear who the largest demographic is. Z Lib

Since Google controls the implementation and the featureset of this API, they are effectively controlling the entire chain of access. Having open source implementions does not make a difference, because a Google, or implementing website, se

Yes, because a feature flag shows intent to implement it before any real discussion have taken place with privacy and non-corporate security advocates.

From a very top level view, this gives Google, and other websites, the ability to block requests from devices/browsers they don't approve. This implements device level verification of the code running your browser. If the device i

Threads is still lacking a proper discovery algorithm, desktop interface, and compatibility with ActivityPub/Fediverse. Desktop viewing currently only works for reading, but not for interacting. Meta was very tactical about the timing.

From what I've read, the current theory is that access is initially possible using the cellular modem. Building and running a custom Android wouldn't necessarily help in that case, because the modem/baseband firmware is compl

From an opsec standpoint, would leaving the phone in airplane mode and turning off location services effectively block access to the phone? From my understanding airplane mode disables the sim, wifi, gps, and bluetooth entirely, but it&#x27

I see your perspective better now. The Linkedin case was specifically regarding CFAA and is relevant to the original suit against OpenAI and web scraping, but I now see you weren't discussing that. The copyright limit you mention is re

I've been thinking of the output as fanfiction/fan art. It shares many of the same complications regarding the ownership of ideas, commerical intent of writing, competition, and copyright. Fanfiction is generally a protected form

What you describe misrepresents how LLMs/neural networks and the math works, your analogy does not apply. There's no static data in the networks. The output of LLMs are much closer to parodies and fanfiction. In that case, you ver

The fundamental issue in that situation isn't about profit, it's about the definition of what is considered publicly accessible and what consent that implies. I disagree with you on whether it should count as being exploited. I do

I agree that there is additional nuance, but so far public data scraping has very clearly been ruled as legal. It's possible that at the time of scraping, copyrighted data was incorporated into the training data because it hadn't

California is the only state that has active data privacy laws. Although, I don't think there's any financial transactions, it's just public data scraping. I wonder if the company can even be held liable for the output of the
