The limit was 140 characters which is also the reason why twitter originally had a 140 character limit: you were able to tweet by SMS

Yes, because just because you bought a book you don’t own its content. You’re not allowed to print and/or sell additional copies or publicly post the entire text. Generally it’s difficult to say where the limit is of what’s allowed. Citing a single sentence in a public posting is most likely fine, citing an entire paragraph is probably fine, too, but an entire chapter would probably be pushing it too far. And when in doubt a judge must decide how far you can go before infringing copyright. There are good arguments to be made that just buying a book doesn’t grant the right to train commercial AI models with it.

Yeah but 2012 is like 5 years ago, right? Right?

If pre-orders ever made sense, it was when you still needed a physical cartridge or disc and the game wouldn’t get patches anyways. But those days are long gone.

Yeah, if your knees are fucked up at 30, you’re probably an athlete and injured your knees multiple times, or obese and overloaded them with too much weight.

That’s also part of the reason why IQ scores are deeply flawed. Using a single number to measure intelligence implies there is an absolute order.

Fun fact: Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicist of the 20th century and legendary physics educator (author of the Feynman Lectures), was invited to join Mensa after he won the Nobel Prize in physics. He declined however, because he didn’t meet the IQ score of 130 normally required by Mensa.

Yes and no, the main factor are bubbles. Even for the most asshole opinions you can probably find the right bubble where you aren’t shunned for it but get affirming reactions. Algorithms do significantly ease the formation of bubbles but are ultimately not required for it

He should just jump into the sea and start living with other gay fish

Only a matter of time until he declares himself Holy Roman Emperor. And silly me was under the impression, he’s trying to emulate an entirely different era of German history.

But that’s kind of the point of the Turing test: a true AI with human level intelligence distinguishes itself by not being susceptible to probing or tricking it

General advice regarding open source: even if you tried something out years ago and didn’t like it, it may be well worth giving it another shot. Open source projects often need some time to mature and take their time to improve, but only get better over time.

I just see another device to run Doom

It’s all based on a very fundamental mathematical law: if you increase the size of something, the volume increases with the third power while the surface area increases with the second power. An insect twice as large would be 8x as heavy and need 8x as much oxygen but 4x as much surface area.

That’s also the reason why insects are as strong as they are. The strength of a muscle scales primarily with the cross section area of it, which again scales with the second power. So if you’d increase the weight of an ant by a factor 10,000,000 (e.g. 5mg to 50kg), the expected strength would increase by 10,000,000^(2/3) ≈ 46,400. If it could lift 10x it’s weight at the original size, it could now only lift about 4.6% of it’s weight

Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, is it really fair to say my client hit him, when the brick is essentially 100% empty space? And isn’t he also essentially 100% empty space so can he even be hit?

But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense! Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense!

But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, ‘what does that have to do with this case?’ Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense! Look at me. I’m a lawyer defending a major record company, and I’m talkin’ about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you’re in that jury room deliberatin’ and conjugatin’ the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

Then an ethically and sustainably built smart phone isn’t for you, because that won’t be possible at that price point. But that isn’t an issue as there is a sustainable option at that price point: buying second hand.

If it was as easy as giving it a nice name, you could just rename seed boxes to fair use machines.

It’s a finicky legal topic, because transformative can be anything and nothing. If you take an album and shuffle the tracks or create a mixtape from multiple albums, that is technically transformative, but most likely not enough to justify fair use.

That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware

By that logic it would be legal to pirate anything as long as you do so to write a review. Because then you download it to create some transformative product, protected under fair use.

Or better idea: someone should write a tool so that anyone can publish an AI based on their pirated library thus turning it into fair use

What exactly is your critique? Do you think news aggregator style social media is an issue in general or is there something that lemmy just doesn’t do good enough?
