  • About 20% of young adults are functionally illiterate, half still get highschool diplomas. 13% actually sounds a bit low.

  • Meta's latest legal wheeze is to insist that pirating books is fair use, actually. And it might be working.

  • The judge in that case ruled the training wasn't fair use for pirated books, which left them on the hook for potentially all revenue (likely a court determined percentage) that the model generated for them in addition to statutory damages. That is well north of 1.5 billion.

  • The model doesn't stream out anyone's content though. The article mentions that the plaintiffs have provided no examples of a prompt that creates anything substantial.

    Streaming a lossy compression would generally be infringement, but there is definitely a point where it becomes not infringement if it's lossy enough.

    What a model generally stores, is factual information that isn't copyright in the first place. It's storing word counts, sentence lengths, sentiment analysis, and so on.

  • Arguing that training models isn't fair use us going to be a massive uphill battle, it's basically reading the book but with a computer. It's not actually a big deal to people, unless you hold the copyright to a ton of works and want to get a percentage of all the AI income these companies have made.

    Torrenting the books is likely absolutely copyright infringement, but that has relatively low payout compared to the money these companies are getting for their models. The training being fair use means that rights holders can't try to take any money from the model's use. The statutory limits for infringement even at per work levels aren't significant compared to the legal cost of proving it happened.

  • The god's name in vain thing has nothing to do with not saying God's name. It also doesn't really mean saying things like "god damn it." It's meant to be about not using God as a justification or excuse to do something you want. Throughout history it's probably the least followed commandment, except for maybe throw shalt not kill.

  • The Christian Jesus is literally god. The Quran changed that to just a prophet, that's a significant change. That's pretty similar to how the Christian Bible treats the old testament, it's part of it, but the new testament recontextualizes it to be something different than the Jewish Torah.

  • Xbox 360 emulation is getting better, so it would be playable on pc.

  • How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?

  • The Saturn V rocket was also massive overkill on power. It had about 50% more thrust than a falcon heavy that is currently being used for planned moon missions.

  • None of that changes what I said. He's not really part of the core of the religion. It's just like with Judaism and Christianity. The Torah is a big part of the Christian Bible, but the focus and context are vastly different.

  • Logistics has always been the main factor in winning wars.

  • Vegetarians have ‘substantially lower risk’ of five types of cancer, a major study found

    Jump

  • These studies aren't very useful without considering the base rate. From Google, the lifetime risk for men for pancreatic cancer is about 1.8% (1.7% for women). the article said vegetarians had 21% less chance, which means it's a 1.4% chance.

    To me this smells like a study with a lot of data massaging to get something publishable.

  • I want to replay Skyrim but

  • Apart from semi standard bug fix and texture mods.

    Try the ordinator mod for a complete overhaul of skill trees to be a lot more interesting. It also makes playing a caster a lot more interesting compared to the vanilla experience. You probably also want the uncapper mod to customize the amount of perks you get per level.

    Personally I also use material chest mods that are basically cheats to level crafting skills, I'm not interested in grinding them out multiple times. Up to you if you want to use them to gear yourself as well or not.

    If you want the game to feel truly different, you need to change your play style as well. Playing a dual wielding berserker is a lot different than a stealth archer.

  • I had some fun playing slightly newer titles with an action replay to cut down on the grind and it really helped.

  • Congress gave the president the power to wage an unlimited amount of war so long as troops are removed by the 90 day mark. Even then if troops are gone before the court rules, it doesn't matter either, as was ruled under Clinton.

  • I'm already at the point I don't really need to buy anymore games, and my library isn't even that old or impressive. Add emulation and it's even harder to justify purchases.
