A lot of open-source software uses copyleft licenses like GPL. If a company uses that code to build its own products, then some or all of their new code may also become open source. This is an important part of how open-source projects stay open. Organizations like FSF have taken big companies to court over this and won.

AI companies trained their slop-generators on that open-source code. In many cases, it will reproduce it line-for-line. But courts currently hold that the generated code is no longer subject to the original copyright restrictions. It’s nearly impossible to publish open-source software without being scraped for AI training.

That cat looks like they are trying to escape.

“Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.”

Pretty sure I fought one of those in Silksong.

Maybe it’s like Toy Story. Batman figure just found out he’s a toy, drank a bunch of Jäger, and then reverted to the dormant state because someone was looking.

Isn’t chocolate poisonous for cats?

Technology Connections just published a video about this. By the end, he’s got an overclocked 6 kW tea kettle boiling water in under a minute before destroying itself.

Harmonica intensifies

The data would compress well, true. However, the DNA in the cell doesn’t have anything like data compression, and it makes the calculations more complex, so it’s only fair to compare uncompressed sizes.

The full genome is 3.1 billion base pairs (6.2 Gbit = 775 MByte). Each parent (i.e., one egg or one sperm) contributes half of that, 1.55 billion base pairs (3.1 Gbit = 388 MByte).

Each base-pair requires two bits, not four. Picking an arbitrary convention: 00 = A, 01 = T, 10 = G, 11 = C.

This calculation is off by an order of magnitude.

The human genome has about 3.1 billion base pairs. Each sperm has half of that. Ignoring epigenetics, each base pair has four options (A/T/C/G), so it can be represented by two bits each.

All told, that’s 3.1 gigabits = 388 megabytes per gamete.

There’s still a few days left to file comments objecting to the change. Link in the article.

Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Still waiting for ISO timestamp support in OmegaStar.

They’re too close! explodes

OP looks more like fabric. I don’t have access to the kind of printer that could make what’s shown.

It also looks like it loops around the back? I don’t know if sun-visors are standard enough to make a generic fit, or if this is a custom job.

Where can I buy this?

UTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.

A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.

Confirmed this really is from Böcker’s Instagram, posted in English and in German.
