Or it's low bit rate audio which is easier for AI to generate.

If the internet had been around back when the U.S. Constitution was written, instead of post offices, the framers would have put in ISPs.

If I understand correctly, Android already has something like this: the Play Integrity API. It's responsible for rooted Android devices being unable to use banking apps. iOS might have something similar. And the term for this if you want to learn more is remote attestation. It's far more insidious than devices with locked boot loaders.

I don't have any experience reading similar books to say if this is a good one, but it was the book we were assigned for class. Algorithms are written in pseudocode. I sometimes use it as a reference.

public domain code can’t really be released under the GPL

Disney created films based on old fairy tales. Disney has a copyright on those films even though they include elements from the public domain because the films also include the artists' original expression. The linux kernel (probably) contains public domain AI-generated code alongside original work from its many contributors. If you wanted to get the entire project into the public domain, you'd have to get permission from nearly all its contributors or wait for their copyright term to expire. The small snippets of code which were AI-generated are public domain. The bulk of the project isn't, and the project as a whole isn't.

As much as I dislike AI, I can't say I understand forbidding AI-generated contributions on the grounds that the submitted code is public domain. I suppose somebody can come along and "steal" the public domain snippets, but I suspect it's difficult to definitively tell apart the human-written code from AI-generated and strip out the human-written bits. If they do, what's the issue? It wasn't yours to begin with and you can still keep it in your project. Moreover, now that the magical plagiarism machines exist, who's going to be lifting code in this way, anyway?

We used to use parenthesis for interjections. I miss the days when text on the internet was mostly limited to the 95 printable characters on a typical American keyboard plus a few control characters.

And different from them all, the compressed double dash. That’s what’s in OP’s screenshot, and they’re what you get on Lemmy and Reddit when you type two dashes together with no spaces between, and it passes for the em dash in human writing.

The dashes in the reddit post being discussed are em dashes, not en dashes. In any case, I'm skeptical of the claim that double dashes written in the reddit text input box transform into something else. Though, I no longer have a reddit account which I could use to check. It looks like there is a way to write em dashes on reddit, but it isn't with 2 sequential hyphens.

Shame youtube removed the like/dislike ratio which we previously used for mass protest against video authors for their wrongdoings. Channels can now shovel shit onto us with no public humiliation inflicted on them in return.

I guess your sense of correct grammar is different from mine. "Fuckin' Strait" isn't a proper noun. He's also using excessive punctuation.

It's probably there just because it was one of the many files preinstalled on one of Epstein's computers that the FBI nabbed. Still funny.

 

This is a recording of an in-person screening of winners of a contest to remix creative works which entered the public domain this year, live streamed on January 21 from the Internet Archive's headquarters in San Francisco. The screening starts properly at 23:05.

You can also view the winners here, which also has a larger list of finalists.

Rules for the contest
