NCIS used to use my English department building at University as their Hospital. Star Fleet Academy in one of the Star Trek movies was the front of my school's library.

Considering how much they did there it wasn't nearly as inconvenient as you would think. The school had a good process in place for controlling the chaos. It's still weird watching the movie and seeing my old library in it.

Isn't this Private Relay masking your IP? https://support.apple.com/en-us/102602

The article calls out Safari but my understanding is it applies to email also.

Nothing new. When I was in college down in LA I lived in a very small town founded by stunt people. Probably 80% of the people there were in the stunt business. Every few months they were off to another state or country for filming. Hollywood is just for the studio execs now, everyone else flies to whatever country offers the best tax breaks for them to film.

They go to some pretty incredible lengths too, A friend of mine and his dad own a stunt company that works explicitly with semi-trucks. Pretty much every time you see a semi in a stunt in a movie it's either my friend or his dad driving it. They will ship these semi's to foreign countries instead of film locally because the tax incentives are greater than moving entire production companies around the world.

My VP boss calls me 6 times a day to help him understand his copilot responses and asks why we aren't doing what copilot says we should do. I then have to spend multiple hours explaining why. His peers call him to understand their copilot responses which he then copilots and calls me to help interpret. On and on and on

Hit a nerve eh?

Nothing. That’s why they gave it to a young woman with no achievements whatsoever in gaming and no reputation to build off of. Her job is to kill it in a way Satya can save face on so they can finish their push to everything in the cloud.

> It's possible to be opposed to excessive copyright

Define excessive. Who makes that determination and how?

Surprisingly good article. I wish more time was spent on the negatives. You don't read that its addictive until the last paragraph.

Until then it seem to be pro-3MMC in how it's talked about which I think is dangerous. The history of it however is fascinating.

Entropy is a thing.

Ancient Rome stopped creating aqueducts because they had all the ones they needed. They failed to pass that knowledge on to the next generation and so they just forgot how to create aqueducts.

Once AI starts making the majority of content, people will simply forget how to make content. Before we know it we're all fat slobs in floating chairs like in Wall-E.

Best case scenario I think is similar to what we see in Ian M. Banks Culture books where the machines basically take care of us out of the goodness of their hearts and we just kinda fuck off into obscurity.

10 years may be too little but generally I agree.

What's blowing my mind lately though is the people complaining about copyright today are some of the same people I saw 30 years ago screaming "Information wants to be free" and running around with the DeCSS code on their T-Shirts. But suddenly, now that they hate AI, copyright is important and the information should be locked away. I can't wait for this all to settle down.

Honesty IS kind. The liars are rude

Apple News says “hold my beer”. It’s like the more money they have the worse it gets.

I disagree. They dislike the news options they have. I’ve been dying for a decent and unbiased news aggregator. They simply do not exist presently.

There is a difference between rude and honest. Far too many overly sensitive people today unable to handle the truth and dismiss it as rude.

Indeed. Hopefully whoever steps up is equally as positive.

Phoronix has some more info, AI isn't mentioned: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-Foxboron

The Arch devs have only ever used the AUR as a toilet where everyone can piss and not contaminate the core distro.

Fedora Copr, FreeBSD Ports, are all of a similar idea. Where Arch screws up is in allowing people to take over abandoned PKGBUILDS instead of making them create new ones.

This can happen to Ubuntu with the PPA's too if someone were to gain control over, say, the Nvidia PPA for drivers. It's happening almost daily with NPM and Github. Supply chain attacks are serious and the Arch devs do warn people about this right off the bat. You don't go installing from the AUR without understanding the risks.

> So do the AIs.

AI's do not feel

"must also file transparency reports, detail risk mitigation plans and pay an annual fee to the European Commission."

This is just another shake down. Quickly becoming the least business friendly place on Earth.

AI psychosis seems to be on all sides of the debate. We've truly lost our moderate speech and the ability to discuss.

Feels more like 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.

But the code being GPL means those companies don't have control over it. They can restrict the use of AI but the codes already generated, they would just go back to writing by hand. Its a non-issue. The same objection came up when Microsoft started contributing to the kernel.

And despite the author’s logical leaps; no it's not impossible to fork the kernel and go another route. The fact it doesn't happen is because its stewardship so far has been exceptional.

It's not a political issue. It's a religious one with the anti AI people raising pitchforks.

Citation needed. This just sounds like you're saying it because you feel like its true.

No ones dead because Linux devs prompted a chat bot

I read through this and must have missed it, but I don't see a single example of AI use in the Linux kernel development posing a problem.

> because positive reviews are simply not written usually

This is objectively false when you can go to the App Store right now and see that most apps are above a 3.0 meaning more than half rate them positively. People are happy to give good reviews to the ones that deserve it.

There is a big difference between 3 days when someone may be sick or traveling and not looking and 30 which aligns better with 99% of scenarios this may be an issue with. 3 days is absurd. Even password apps with kill switches will default to 7 days.

Cyber attacks will frequently happen on a Friday just for this scenario, they anticipate no ones looking over the weekend.

I don't think so at all. People go on vacation all the time. This should be 30 days not 3.

Thanks for clarifying

"The Paris prosecutor's office said that "an investigation to establish the causes of death" had been opened, noting that no suspect was found at the scene on Tuesday evening."

Its a strange announcement.
