Can I bring to mind Vanilla Ice vs Queen?

7 notes (2 different ones) were enough for copyright infringement.

The bar for copyright infringement my humans is incredibly low. All you need to infringe on copyright is that your work is “derived” from a copyrighted source work. If you take an original song and change it so that in the end every single note is different, it’s technically still a derived work and still copyright infringement (though it becomes hard to prove that at that point).

If you use the same rule for AI, everything an AI ever outputs is derived works. If you removed all original works from the AI training sets, the AI would do nothing at all.

But for some reason even if the AI outputs whole chapters of books word for word (which most good LLMs can), it’s for some reason not a copyright infringement.

The only reason that’s the case is that the involved judges have no technical understanding and let themselves be bamboozled by fancy new tech. Or because of money exchanged between AI corporations and judges.

And now do 2025… We are regressing fast.

I wonder why there are no humidistats.

You know, a combined humidifier/dehumidifier that keeps a constant humidity.

For me it changed when I got kids. Before that I was just as young as before. But 7 years of sleep deprivation really helps with feeling too young.

They are both now on the same level. Both iPhone and Android now allow sideloading of apps of “trusted” developers, so developers verified by Google/Apple.

To be fair, they are now both on the same level. Both now allow sideloading from “trusted” sources, aka developers verified by Apple/Google.

You might be missing a few decimal points there. It’s not precise enough.

If you compare yourself to the sheep-killer in sheep’s fur, that doesn’t really reflect well on your opinions.

Wanting to murder the people around you is not a good opinion to have.

Enzy’s point is that Linux isn’t an OS but just the kernel, so the core part of the OS. That point is technically correct but practically utter bullshit. It’s generally only pushed by pedants who have nothing better to do, because all the grown-ups in the room easily understand what’s meant when someone refers to an OS called Linux (namely, Linux distributions, which contain a whole OS running on a provided Linux kernel).

I like post-ironic. That’s when satire doesn’t work any more because real life is worse.

So then I guess I can learn the song, write down the notes from memory, and play that cover. It’s all gone through a neural network and so it’s all fine, right?

Google, sadly, is truely dead.

I moved on to Duckduckgo, because the results really aren’t worse. Aren’t better either though.

Annealing the 3D printed frame

I fear there is no completely nazi-free zone on the internet.

I wonder if there are regional differences.

Can you store “The Birds” on the birds?

In a dictatorship.

Aliexpress. Spares are €3-6. Quality differs, so it’s a bit luck of the draw if you get a good one. But for that price I could just order a handful different ones and pick the best.

I printed a cut-off case that doesn’t cover the keyboard attachment part. I just took a random case 3D file for my phone from yeggi.com and cut the bottom part off in the slicer.

On an old phone I used before I printed the attachment big enough to wrap around the case I was using.

I hope you didn’t throw out the priv and key. In working order they are ~€150 each on ebay.

Not any more waste of time than reading 90% of other tech news (or any news in general). It’s basically entertainment, not education.

So if I wasted some time reading a interesting article about some prototype technology, I haven’t wasted any more or less time than reading some news article about some other topic that doesn’t affect me.

I’m not holding my breath that this specific technology will beat Li-Ion in a year and I will not use the article as investment advice, but there’s nothing wrong with using it for free entertainment.

Yeah, I developed that, and I’m daily-driving it since 2021. Wouldn’t want to go without one.

JLCPCB is really nice.

The phone does get long, but I got used to it quite quickly.
