  • Because they need a constant stream of data to feed the models. If people had to opt in then they'd be less likely to do so and the models would starve and become less accurate and therefore less valuable to sell. Remember the trained model is the valuable piece of the entire thing, that's what companies pay money to gain access to. There's no point in sitting on all that user data if they can't turn it into a marketable product by feeding it into a model.

    That sentence could have ended three words sooner.

  • Trump says he will release more JFK assassination files. Here's what we know about the declassification.

    Jump

  • Nothing new will come of the JFK files but there might be a surprise or two in the MLK ones. I don't necessarily think it would be something as crazy as the CIA being responsible for the assassination, but it wouldn't surprise me if for instance they knew about it before hand and just didn't do anything to stop it.

  • Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research

    Jump

  • I'm just annoyed that the term AI has been co-opted now to refer to pretty much any form of machine learning. Stuff gets called AI today that wouldn't have been considered AI even 10 years ago. I think that's part of what's driving peoples ridiculous expectations because they hear AI and they expect actual AI not a glorified smart fill.

  • Does... he need an excuse? Didn't he just authorize drilling in Alaska anyway? I'm kind of surprised he would even bother with excuses at this point, it's basically fait accompli now.

  • Declaration of a national energy emergency.

    What's the scam on this one? That certainly might be true in Texas, but that's because they fucked up their power grid by privatizing it and removing (or never applying) regulations and doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the nation.

    If Trump's doing it I know it's some kind of scam, but I can't figure out the angle on this one.

  • And even then they wouldn't lower costs for consumers, people would be paying three times more for the same product (possibly but probably not American made). There is no world in which tariffs lower costs, that's not what they're for. Tariffs are a mechanism to protect domestic products from cheaper foreign ones by making foreign products cost the same or more for consumers. People need to be shouting from the roof tops that Tariffs are a government tax on consumers until the moron MAGAts get it through their thick skulls.

  • It should be pointed out that modern LCDs use local dimming zones to only light up certain parts of the display, although that only really helps if large swaths of the image are solid black. LCDs have come a long way from the old days when they were side or backlit by CCFLs. So even LCDs might draw slightly less power for light-on-dark, although you'd probably get even more benefit by just turning down the displays brightness regardless of the color scheme.

  • You're being too literal with the term copyright. Fundamentally what copyright has always been about is preventing someone else using your work for their own gain without your permission. In that respect yes, copyright is critical in the digital age. The problem is that it's a compromise. It balances the rights of someone who has "purchased" a copyrighted work with the rights of the creator.

    Generally the balance that has been struck is that as a purchaser you have the right to do anything that you want with a work except to sell a duplicate of that work. You can sell the work, so long as you no longer retain a copy of it yourself. In practice this means transferring rather than copying. How exactly that's accomplished gets into the weeds a bit if you start splitting hairs, but what's important here is the spirit of the thing, nobody is going to care if technically you both have a copy for some short period of time in the middle of the transfer process.

    As for "copy protection" aka DRM that is and always has been complete bullshit because it is a fundamentally intractable problem. There's exactly one way to enforce copyright and that's the legal system, anything else is doomed to failure.

    We also desperately need to prevent companies from using that monopoly to prevent older works from being available by having the copyright and not publishing the work

    This is solved by limiting copyright to a short duration after which the work enters the public domain. If a company wants to squander a copyright by sitting on it for the limited time they have it that's fine but they're only hurting themselves. The only reason this is an issue now is because of the ridiculous century long copyright terms we currently have. If copyright was reduced to a decade you would never see this happening anymore. That said a safeguard should also be in place to prevent copyright being used as a censorship weapon by the wealthy. I think a "use it or lose it" clause that immediately enters a work into the public domain if it's not available for some period of time (maybe a couple years) would nip any potential issues there in the bud.

  • Copyright isn't a stupid concept in the digital age, if anything it's more important than ever but it is grossly out of control and needs to be severely curtailed (along with all other IP law). Copyright needs to go back to what it was originally intended as, a short term monopoly on a creative work. Something like 10 to 20 years. The current 100+ year copyright durations are absolutely ridiculous and never should have been allowed.

  • How would you recommend rate limiting your own program?

    Jump

  • You absolutely should not be just ignoring too many requests responses. The entire point of putting rate limits on APIs is to reduce resource usage and while it doesn't take many resources to serve up a request denied message that amount isn't zero. If you continue to hammer an API that has rate limited you at some point they will decide your traffic is malicious and just start blackholing all your requests.

    I'm honestly not sure what the best way to do rate limiting would be, I suspect that might depend on a number of factors such as what web client and async framework you're using, but I would recommend if at all possible using a library rather than rolling your own. The library you found so far seems reasonable enough at least as a first attempt.
