Yeah and the consequence of this is that all these things become inaccessible to normal people. These licenses will cost a lot of money. The insurance companies will be scummy as hell. All these demands always seem like…
Why do people always demand strict licenses and mandatory insurance for everything? Scooters, bicycles, small drones. What's next? Need a license for the paper airplane you made because it might poke out someone's eye?…
>https://quad9.net/news/blog/au-revoir-france/ >We already prevailed in a similar legal case in Germany in 2021-2023 in which we learned an important lesson: we tried to use geoIP blocking as a “hack” in a similar…
Germany is just a stand in for "some country" because there are countries that do this. I guess I should've used France instead?
Perhaps I wasn't very clear - we had video streaming sites before youtube. The local sites could not keep up with youtube. Could a European competitor have even existed when even youtube struggled with the GEMA lawsuit…
Right until the Germans decide that something should be blocked globally, not just in Germany. And now you have a problem, because there are going to be 150 other countries demanding the same kind of treatment. It might…
The way it should've happened is that over the last 20 years EU governments should have tried to keep tech companies doing well in Europe. We had video streaming sites like youtube. We had cellphone manufacturers. We…
The differentiation comes from the problem space being so enormous that differentiation is almost certainly going to happen.
Can you explain how every video game has a crazy amount of clipping going on? Is every single developer just lazy? How come pretty much every modern UI is garbage? Are the devs just lazy? Like google.com on mobile does…
But if the user thinks it looks fine, then won't most players think the same? I just don't get the complaints about "use proper art" when it comes to games. Most of the time the game has some other, far more glaring,…
You can add a line to your system prompt to be like that. You can basically get it to roleplay whatever you want (but only if you can give it sys prompts).
The problem is that these OSes have achieved regulatory lock-in. Your bank app won't work on an alternative OS because it's not trusted. In some countries that means you can't access online government services through…
How would telling the AI bot not to say something against the law? I imagine that instruction exists so that people don't end up screenshotting the bot telling users to contact DPAs because they tortured it to say that…
There's no punishment for abusing the system like this though. They'll keep trying again and again, just like lawmakers themselves. "Ah, the law we came up with us unconstitutional and didn't stand up to scrutiny? We'll…
It runs into the problem of region locked licensing stepping onto the toes of other regions. Imagine a Korean company makes a game and sells a license to an American company to publish their game. Eventually the…
I think this doesn't really apply to games. Video games have had an incredibly sticky price. The Legend of Zelda in 1987 was $50. Adjusted for inflation it would cost $151 today. Diablo 2 released in 1999 at $50. Today…
Then get rid of the treaty.
The model is perfectly safe if nobody wants to use it!
It wouldn't work like that. Yes, there are some exceptions, but that wouldn't work for the vast majority of sites. The rest of them would end up being Facebook pages or Fandom wikis or similar.
>I am now of the opinion that web communities can survive in the same way arts and other liberal pursuits have always survived. And the only 'users' of these websites will be rich people? Because the moment a paywall…
The average score peaked in 2009 though. https://www.oecd.org/en/data/dashboards/pisa-education-and-s... Ie it's been dropping since 2009. For mathematics and reading the large drop off is between 2018 and 2022.
Laws encode the preferences of a subset of society. Some laws don't reflect what broader society thinks at all.
I could see its use - you could remotely activate them. Or activate them on a timer that isn't constrained by the functions of the coffee machine. None of these are worth the spying that these companies do though.
Phone companies have been differentiating their models based on RAM for a decade. As have laptop and desktop sellers. The reason your router sometimes randomly crashes could very well be a result of not enough memory.…
I don't really understand why. Memory is a critical component of every computational device.
