Boredom is the key to learning something it’s just very likely that it won’t be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.

Well, not on a modern Xbox. On the OG XBox however…

Sure, just remember the S in IoT stands for security and IoT devices are just embedded devices connected to the internet.

And the Medical industry is the proof for the rule.

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.

I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.

VR gaming is still pretty niche and expensive if you want a truly good experience. There also haven’t really been any major advancements in the space since the Valve Index almost six years ago.

Inside out tracking is still not where it needs to be and the base stations for outside in tracking are cumbersome.

Additionally, for the full promise of VR gaming to be realized you really need accurate full body tracking to include full hand tracking, a compact, easily stowable, but accurate omnidirectional treadmill, and some way to do all of the tracking without the need for base stations.

And all of that needs to be standardized across the industry.

I too enjoy VR gaming, but there’s been basically no movement in the VR space in a long time, and to most people VR is a novelty at best. Unless someone gives us a decade’s worth of advancement inside of a year or two, I expect modern VR will go the way of the virtual boy. Only to be revived again in 20-30 years.

What’s wrong with the sentiment expressed in the headline? AI training is not and should not be considered fair use. Also, copyright laws are broken in the west, more so in the east.

We need a global reform of copyright. Where copyrights can (and must) be shared among all creators credited on a work. The copyright must be held by actual people, not corporations (or any other collective entity), and the copyright ends after 30 years or when the all rights holders die, whichever happens first. That copyright should start at the date of initial publication. The copyright should be nontransferable but it should be able to be licensed to any other entity only with a majority consent of all rights holders. At the expiration of the copyright the work in question should immediately enter the public domain.

And fair use should be treated similarly to how it is in the west, where it’s decided on a case-by-case basis, but context and profit motive matter.

With phrasing like that, you should start a gang. Call yourselves the Autobots.

Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.

I know it’s a typo, but the image of Lobo, DC’s heavy metal space biker, reading books to someone while they lie in bed is hilarious.

Well, that’s kind of shitty. I know those models can run up to five figures, and if those rules aren’t enforced uniformly across the board for everyone then it does just seem like they’re targeting a particular class of creator.

As a side note, I find it funny that the article refers to then as “AI models” when no AI is typically involved.
