I mean, aren't we all bragging about autonomous agents doing the coding for us? I don't see how that's remotely a stretch.

The legal question was "did a human author the work"?

In the Monkey Selfie case - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput... - courts decided that copyright requires a human author and a human merely setting the conditions for a copyrighted work to appear is not enough.

This reasonably means AI contributions where a human has guided the AI are not subject to copyright, and thus can't be supported by a project's license.

SaaS is dead because large chunks of the industry can't do work or understand their codebase without depending on a proprietary AI model from a single provider.

And you thought GitHub or us-east-1 outages were bad.

Recipes are a weird counterexample. Everyone I know Googles them because they're written up by chefs with specific styles and sometimes have user reviews. Asking ChatGPT will get you algorithmic food nonsense, it has no idea if those ingredients will combine or what the outcome will taste like.

Signal data is not backed up, they have a local backup solution and an in-app e2e cloud backup for $2/month.

This is a fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing!

It's just confined to one instance if it goes down, not all of Mastodon.

I don't really understand this architecture, but I thought Bluesky was distributed like Mastodon? How can it have an outage?

Yeah I've had an ID4 for a few years and its certainly possible, but seemingly overnight the charging network doubled and its a net win for everyone.

Also, my mom is in her 70s, those CCS plugs are huge! I'm glad everyone was able to standardize on NACS.

It's a shame what happened to this company. I used to really want a Tesla, but now the brand signifies your support for Musk/DOGE, they killed half their lineup, and they keep mentioning that cars aren't the future as they aim for driverless taxis and robots.

At least they opened the supercharger network. My mom picked up a Cadillac Optiq and even with her being on the other side of the country she was able to seamlessly transition to an EV.

This isn't really true anymore with the advent of Flatpak & Flathub. It's just an app store like any other platform. Even the majority of games work without tweaking.

This is my exact writing style - I'm screwed.

This is neat but my employer rates my performance based on token consumption; is there one that makes Claude needlessly verbose?

He's using this approach because the EU requires documents to be in an open format, and by him advocating that OOXML is only open by name, he can advance a legal argument that OpenDocument is the only acceptable format.

Office supports OpenDocument.l, it just doesn't use it by default.

SteamOS is just an immutable Arch, and all Steam Linux games use the Steam Linux container runtime or Proton.

Bazzite and a few others provide a similar console-style experience.

Bazzite is incredible, I've been running it on my gaming PC for about two years now. Games just work these days, and the updates are silent so I never need to think about them.

Specifically their failure to meet reasonable uptime requirements. I can't run a 99.9 service on a 99.0 platform.

The state of GitHub and Windows 11 certainly qualify as sub-par.

Yes that's exactly how it works, it's called curtailment.

It's a black box that thinks for me, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, sometimes it times out.

I am extremely skeptical of AI products anyone builds. It's just using one black box to build scaffolding around another black box and then typically want to charge money for it. I don't see any value there.

I highly recommend playing Frictonal Games' Soma from 2015. It is an extremely critical examination of this entire concept. Without spoiling the plot, a digitized consciousness doesn't imply just one, but an infinite number of copies, some just subjected to torture as they are essentially disposable.

But I don't think we've seen cannabis, especially when not smoked, have anywhere near the health risk of alcohol.

But that's what we signed up for in the Linux wirld. Linux systems are smorgasbord of different components by design, and that means being specific. I'm using KDE Plasma 6, that's a different experience than someone using Cosmic or Sway.

There is no "Wayland" to address these issues. It's like asking "web" to address its issues.

Wayland is a protocol with multiple different implementations.

Like going to the dentist for a root canal when it's your neighbors that actually needs one and you can't afford it because a significant portion of your income is already paying down debt, the problem is getting worse, and you just decided to make less money this year

It's not so much tournaments but viewership. People watch others play on Twitch, that gets you money directly as well as sponsorships. This incentives people to cheat so they're good on stream.

Deliveries have been falling for the past two years.

How many Bluesky servers are there?

I just hit printscreen and save, I think you may be confusing your familiarity with a system with user friendliness.

For comparison, MacOS doesn't have a printscreen key, it's command-shift-3 or command-shift-4. Much more confusing to newcomers in my experience.

The administration already lost and the tariffs were found to be illegal, this is Nintendo wanting their money back.

Taxpayers already paid for it, companies raised their prices to compensate.
