  • Does "relatively easy" mean in comparison to modern cars, and not easily repairable older cars? I don't follow cars but if it's anything like other tech then it's soon to be crippled by part tying.

  • "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint

    Jump

  • Open source can refer to MIT licensed code/projects where it can be taken, modified and redistributed as proprietary software without giving back. You can't contribute without wondering if you're doing work for a mega corp.

    I would be temped to argue that doesn't go far enough. If copyleft wasn't circumvented by AI I'd argue for that.

  • Based on this patterns you have an idea, where you need to focus in the physical theory for understanding and optimizing it.

    How do you tell what the patterns are, or how to interpret them?

  • EU have slapped their shit a few times but I suppose it's their game to lose.

  • Only when it's accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it's very bad for business.

  • Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.

  • This may be out of date but in this video by Lawful Masses lawyers are concerned that software AI tools which somehow (I don't recall) help them understand a case. This issue is the AI should not use information sourced from another client's confidential case/documents to inform them about another case but they don't know how it works. Responses from Microsoft were not forthcoming.

    I would argue they can't know unless they have access to the source code to verify what any (local) AI can do (not personally do it, but a trusted 3rd party audit which isn't behind closed doors).

  • Consider that a program can edit the file while running at any point, not merely during user input. Like a virus with access to user's files it could even edit a document that's not even being displayed to the user on the screen.

  • Also no, you don't know what it's doing so you could be blindsighted by the latest AI update making unexpected changes. Not only from good-intentioned features but also bugs, or malicious anti-features after the CEO throws their toys out of the Twitter pram.

  • To really be sure would require knowing what software is actually doing - not just taking the claims made by the programmers (or more likely, the mere owners) of the proprietary software.

    That sounds doubly difficult job.

  • Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?

    Jump

  • Like how the cellular module is proprietary and locked down, even on something like a Librem phone. Or like how DVD players had to use proprietary software to force comply with DRM.

  • "It's impossible" is often used not to literally describe a logically impossible event but instead as an exaggeration. "I can't possibly fathom why" is also not literal, it means under regular circumstances.

    I cannot imagine why anyone would prefer grass that cuts your skin over regular grass means for typical people using grass in typical garden/field situations. That could be someone's person preference but that it's not typical, it's unexpected.
