We did not have homework per se in what we studied but we did have reading that was relevant for the purposes of tutorials and being prepared for lectures. We also had deliverables (assignments, presentations, practicals) that had grading, and proctored exams.

I found having deliverables helpful in knowing how one is tracking with progress and understanding of the subjects and largely reflective of the final exam result.

I've also had studies done that exams were either 80 or 100% of the grading and that was a lot more stressful without any significant added benefit. In fact given that there were fewer or no deliverables, perhaps even worse mastery / retention after exam completion.

Australia generally requires at least 10 years for some things.

As someone without CS background working in a modest app, I think a lot of it will come down to architecture, supervision and direction rather than grunt code writing.

You need to know about database normalization, about algorithms and techniques, ideate solution to problems etc because as impressive as those 1-shot youtube videos on model release look, once you go beyond that, that's where the value ad comes in my experience.

Maybe they are going to go for Argon/Neon/Helium to represent model sizes like Astra/Sol/Terra/Luna and Opus/Sonnet/Haiku

Same. Specially given how some harnesses connect with blender for 3D asset generation and creating real 3D worlds like those architecture examples but many of the 1-shot game examples too.

Do you mind sharing? I would love to give it a try and see if I can stretch the x5 plan further.

It is already the case in many Australian Courts and tribunals E.g. NSW Supremen Court [1] here is another tribunal [2]. Not sure why you would not like the disclosure as to how a document, statement, etc was made when the author was not the individual signing their name and may not represent their words, knowledge, beliefs etc.

There probably also won't be enough people to pay $30 per year to justify the salary of the people to maintain it. Microsoft tried that with Windows 10 and largely gave up outside of Corporations which they had by the gonads.

That just seemed to be standard venting, methane if I'm not mistaken.

The group exploited a bug in WhatsApp to deliver the spyware. It wasn't an E2E issue.

> A U.S. judge ruled on Friday in favor of Meta Platforms' (META.O), opens new tab WhatsApp in a lawsuit accusing Israel's NSO Group of exploiting a bug in the messaging app to install spy software allowing unauthorized surveillance.

There is certainly an economic utility to a more educated populous, but should that cost 30k+ in debt? If the ROI isn't there and the purpose is a general one for the economic benefit of the nation, shouldn't the taxpayer bear the cost of that?

My understanding was that ads pay to be viewed, they can't get paid if you have it on background play and not watching. So they made it a premium feature and get paid by the subscription.

The Courts already have mechanisms to limit "unlimited" subpoenas or requests for discovery. Requests for the software source code or similar, bug reports, and other reports of issues are or would largely not be unreasonable where the key issue is reported thievery, fraud, and mismatched data based on software as the basis for the allegations and prosecution.

Because there isn't much difference in the force between a 1m and a 8000m drop due to the above. So it really comes down to case, angle, and material onto which it was dropped with corners being more vulnerable.

I believe the issue with Lovelace is that you may find less than PG results typing that on a search engine. Hence using Ada primarily on the marketing.

I think the complaint is more with the consumer card being 4xxx but this is 5000 both on the same architecture.

The question would be, do you want to fight Disney lawyers to make the argument that your use was not as a trademark, represented as Disney, or that it might cause confusion? With or without a disclaimer.

It's probably too short. It would live authors with very little bargaining power particularly if they become bigger in their writing carriers. Corporations would just have to wait 20 years and save themselves the exclusive rights and royalties.

It should be looked form the frame of how long is appropriate to promote the creation of the arts etc. Realistically no author is thinking I won't create this art unless I get lifetime + 70.

I would think 50 years total is a much more reasonable figure.

That's why they get you to agree to new terms and conditions with an update, or when there is a new TC you get a lovely email or whatever to ignore. Either you don't accept it so you don't get the update or you don't accept them and you can't continue to use the service if you don't accept the new terms.

The consideration for the change is getting the new features, updates, or using the services.

Most licence terms already include a term to change the terms. So technically once you buy it, install it, and agree to it, you are also agreeing the terms may change. They probably also have arbitration clauses you are agreeing to so you can't directly sue them either.

Nah, because there was a failure with the policy implementation the kid got a proper name and no record that it had changed.

What's the case law that social meedia sites are responsible for the content on their site? Youtube just recently won the ISIS recruitment case as a counter example [0].

Yes and no, I think. If you have a valid exemption under copyright (e.g. fair use) then you don't need a licence for the use or making of the derivative work. Obviously such a defence (e.g. fair use) would likely be very difficult in the context of commercial use of the copyrighted work.

Company: we have "connectedness" issues with remote work Everyone: what have you tried? Company: Nothing, it didn't work, and we are out of ideas. Back to the office.

Genuinely, all these companies raising issues with training, and collaboration, and connection, but in the last 3 years have put zero effort to address these issues with respect to remote work so they throw the baby with the bath water and force people to return.

He created the idea at the beginning of the pandemic. His thought process was that the Mr Beast brand would allow smaller stores to carry his product and incentivise people to buy take out from those shops and help during lockdowns.

I don't believe the contract between him and VDC is out outlining the contractual obligations, SLAs, trademark and marketing issues etc.

Yes. Trademark law says the use of a trademark as a trademark is an issue. Using the discord logo to link to a discord channel is fine. Allowing a site to be named Discord with a different TLD is using a trademark as a trademark and that can have consequences. The whole point of trademark is to distinguish goods/services and by failing to prevent the use of discord.io they kinda dropping the ball here in my opinion.

There is apparently a whole bunch of controversy with the paper being published by one of the authors that had been allegedly kicked out and wanted to ensure he was credited as an author. The other authors were apparently still working on the paper, production methods etc but this unauthorised early publication derailed that.

It would likely fall under "unconscionable conduct" which is illegal under the ACL.

I would imagine it would difficult for them to prevent individual licences being sold through their retail/online mechanisms.. You would have more limited protections if >100,000 in licence fees, and they may or may not have an enterprise programs for those purchasing that many licences. But where they engage in retaliatory behaviour they could be sued and through discovery determine if they refused to engage with you or jack up the prices in retaliation for a lawful complaint. As you can imagine this would be expensive but... you would also likely be at a scale that could afford such litigation.

Some of the protections do apply to business purchases such as section 18 of the ACL which relates to misleading and deceptive conduct and section 29 regarding false or misleading representations. Businesses, will, in some scenarios (they need to meet the definition of consumer under the Act) also have access to consumer guarantees found under s51-59 which provide some of the stronger remedy options including full refunds.

For Australians, if you are affected, this is the kind of issue that should be raised with ACCC at https://www.accc.gov.au/about-us/contact-us/report-a-consume....

It falls under the Australian Consumer Protection under misleading or deceptive conduct.[0] A lifetime licence marketed as such cannot be withdrawn let alone with EULA/TOS presented after the purchase.[1] Probably could also get your money back from the retailer/autodesk too if you cannot use the software with your lifetime licence.
