I don't have an answer for you, I just want to tell you that the plural of schema is schemata.

This. It's about crime. You couldn't sign up for landline service without providing the same info as any other utility, and it was tied to an address. I'm fine with cell service being traceable, with a warrant or court order (and not a secret rubber-stamp FISA court, a real one).

Broadcom is so good at it, they wrecked VMware years before even completing the acquisition.

You should be able to block instances as a user in 0.19.0, I think.

I'm surprised mods and admins don't have the option to choose not to distinguish their posts and comments.

Can you record the sound? I've never heard of a power supply having any kind of noisemaker. It's probably just electrical interference or coil whine or something, where the waveform happens to produce that periodic sound. (You might even look around and find a nearby device changing its power draw with the same periodicity.)

I don't blame him, I blame his staff. A routine procedure, meh. But he goes into the ICU, his staff should be notifying the White House and the deputy, and probably the joint chiefs, among others.

Why? Under Windows or Mac OS too, there's always something that doesn't quite work right.

Yeah but that's a waste of light. Why use a floodlight when you can use a laser?

Pentagon officials also failed for two days last week to notify Austin’s second-in-command that he had transferred authority to her while he was in the ICU, and while she was in Puerto Rico.

That's the real goof. I don't really see a problem with the secdef being hospitalized and not immediately notifying the President. They need DoD stuff, they call on him, and if he's not available, for any reason, it should immediately fall to the deputy. The White House staff, and especially the deputy, should have been told.

Ultimately this just seems to have been a breakdown in communication, but even if war were declared, I don't think it would have been a significant issue. This is media hype bs to distract from real issues.

There is already some debate about what time of year the birth actually happened. Most people agree that regardless of the actual day, it probably wasn't Dec 25 (or the equivalent if using other calendars). That's just the one that people agreed to use.

Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was "oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let's make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way".

Right, but it's not a pure list of facts. When you set it to paper, it's unique, and you could argue it's art. In fact, a quick Google search found one such example: https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Shopping-list-1/2146403/10186433/view

Granted, that one was presumably intended to be a work of art on creation and your weekly shopping list isn't, but the intent during creation isn't all that important for US copyright law. You create it, you get the rights.

tl;dr: practice provides an 18-26% improvement, and the rest I guess is just natural talent?

I'm not aware of any federal case law on copyright and AI. Happy to read some if you have a suggestion.

It's the plot point, but also spoilers, kind of? Part of the game is discovering what happened.

I'm expecting temperatures to drop afterwards and everything to turn to ice.

copyright only protects them from people republishing their content

This is not correct. Copyright protects reproduction, derivation, distribution, performance, and display of a work.

People also ingest their content and can make derivative works without problem. OpenAI are just doing the same, but at a level of ability that could be disruptive to some companies.

Yes, you can legally make derivative works, but without license, it has to be fair use. In this case, where not only did they use one whole work in its entirety, they likely scraped thousands of whole NYT articles.

This isn’t even really very harmful to the NYT, since the historical material used doesn’t even conflict with their primary purpose of producing new news.

This isn't necessarily correct either. I assume they sell access to their archives, for research or whatever. Being able to retrieve articles verbatim through chatgpt does harm their business.

That is not correct. Copyright subsists in all original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/102

Legally, when you write your shopping list, you instantly have the rights to that work, no publication or registration necessary. You can choose to publish it later, or not at all, but you still own the rights. Someone can't break into your house, look at your unpublished works, copy them, and publish them like they're their originals.
