Everyone that works with Trump always regrets it eventually. Everyone.

It is true. What's your upload speed? 😁

Fiber connections are synchronous. Meaning that the download speed is the same as the upload speed.

A gigabit fiber connection gives you 1 gigabit down and 1 gigabit up. A "gigabit" cable connection gives you 1.something gigabit down (it allows for spikes... Usually) and like 20-50 megabits upload.

Fiber ISPs may still limit your upload speeds but that's not a limitation of the technology. It's them oversubscribing their (back end) bandwidth.

Cable Internet really can't give you gigabit uploads without dedicating half the available channels for that purpose and that would actually interfere with their ability to oversubscribe lines. It's complicated... But just know that the DOCSIS standards are basically hacks (that will soon run into physical limitations that prevent them from providing more than 10gbs down) in comparison to fiber.

The DOCSIS 4.0 standard claims to be able to handle 10gbs down and 6gbs up realistically that's never going to happen. Instead, cable companies will use it to give people 5gbs connections with 100 megabit uploads because they're bastards.

This guy does berry good work.

This assumes the people in the Trump administration are capable of feeling embarrassment or shame.

From a copyright perspective, you don't need to ask for permission to train an AI. It's no different than taking a bunch of books you bought second-hand and throwing them into a blender. Since you're not distributing anything when you do that you're not violating anyone's copyright.

When the AI produces something though, that's when it can run afoul of copyright. But only if it matches an existing copyrighted work close enough that a judge would say it's a derivative work.

You can't copyright a style (writing, art, etc) but you can violate a copyright if you copy say, a mouse in the style of Mickey Mouse. So then the question—from a legal perspective—becomes: Do we treat AI like a Xerox copier or do we treat it like an artist?

If we treat it like an artist the company that owns the AI will be responsible for copyright infringement whenever someone makes a derivative work by way of a prompt.

If we treat it like a copier the person that wrote the prompt would be responsible (if they then distribute whatever was generated).

But that's no fun at all!

Most people want a system that lets them dress politicians in lame, opposite-sex, revealing clothing. Why else would such a system exist? Nobody cares what they (themselves) would look like in such clothes!

I'm sure in the 2.0 version there will be a "chest" slider—due to popular demand!

More interesting superpowers. I want stuff like the powers in Sagrada Reset. Not stereotypical stuff like strength, speed, invisibility, etc.

I also want to see a shapeshifter character as one of the good guys! Why are they always the bad guys?

Give people some superpowers with interesting limitations and make them work together in clever ways to accomplish amazing feats that would never be possible on their own.

Missing: The fact that Rotten Tomatoes scoring is easily gamed by the studios:

So... You were lovin' it and they were having it their way.

Haha, that's amazing.

Guess I need to go buy "an inflator" specifically made for phones 🤣

[–] riskable@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Well... Don't leave us hanging!

Did the instructions work? You'd think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone... Because of the hinge.

True story: There's a minus sign on the other side so you can use them to power things with the Holy Spirit.

Try it! You may be very surprised at how much power that is 👍
