You sound like the selfish one, demanding someone live just so that you can be comfortable and unbothered.

House Approves $95 Billion Aid Bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan (www.nytimes.com)

The House voted resoundingly on Saturday to approve $95 billion in foreign aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as Speaker Mike Johnson put his job on the line to advance the long-stalled aid package by marshaling support from mainstream Republicans and Democrats....

And I suspect a non-trivial number of young voters are going to be disappointed and less motivated to get out and vote. If democracy and Western Liberalism™ really is on the ballot this year, Biden and the democrats need to be a lot more careful about alienating voters.

Usually any ideological overlap I have with the GOP is made in bath faith on their part. That, or the reason they arrive at the "right" conclusion involves reasoning much different than my own.

But hey, sometimes you just gotta take the win in life.

I don't give a shit what fascists do. If you give in to them, they'll "appropriate" everything you love. Don't give in to them.

Ok, but who are they going to vote for? My bet is that they all fall into line in the end.

wagesj45,

And I don't believe any Republican that says they're going to vote for anyone other than a Republican. They always fall in line.

LOL these comments are a hint as to why things are so bad here and we need this movie. It's like people can't conceive of a nonpartisan message. The only thing they seem to understand is "other side bad, tho". And I'm very much someone who thinks the other side is bad. But for the love of god that's not the point of the movie.

I think so. It isn't about American partisan politics, but rather what civil war does to a country, its population, and its national spirit.

He probably knows all that. Normally all the minority party can do is force these people to state things things out loud and on the record. Besides, things have to be put simply like this because most people put so little thought into what stuff like this means. They have no idea what the legal system is like or how it can be used against them because they just don't pay attention. That's its own problem.

Running a potato.

96% of US Hospital Websites Share Visitor Data with Google, Meta, Data Brokers, and Other Third Parties, Study Finds (www.theregister.com)

Academics at the University of Pennsylvania analyzed a nationally representative sample of 100 non-federal acute care hospitals – essentially traditional hospitals with emergency departments – and their findings were that 96 percent of their websites transmitted user data to third parties....

So enough to cross reference with a bazillion other data-brokers online and absolutely pinpoint most people.

The point of federation is to connect different servers. Lemmy is not one website. It is many different websites that happen to share data. A link being posted to multiple websites is fine.

Maybe if you're seeing too many duplicate links, you're subscribed to too many duplicate magazines/subs/servers.

Would be nice if their license changes for this one to something a little more FOSS-ish. Not a huge fan of usage restrictions.

That being said, I wonder how it will compare to Mistral. I've been using the Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 and have been absolutely blown away by its capabilities for its size. Makes me wonder how much more we can squeeze out of these smaller models.

Actually, it doesn't say anything about parameter size other than a guess. I hope they keep making these smaller models, though.

I don't buy that legal theory. AI models as they're trained are the very definition of transformational. It's fair use.

The courts get things wrong all the time. I may have to legally abide by their decisions, but I am not morally bound to agree with them.

Courts guarantee an answer, not the right answer.

Probably, but that assumes that the transcribers went from video to video following the algorithm. I'd suspect that they would randomize the videos they chose somehow figured out some other distribution.

But that is just a guess, you could be right.

You shouldn't own anything well after your death, including your likeness. By your logic we couldn't make films about Cleopatra or use Shakespeare's work.

I don't think the Mouse should have that copyright either. I'm not a total copyright abolitionist, but the time needs to be much shorter like patents. And I think likenesses should fall into the same category.

The RNC and conservatives in general haven't done a single thing for as long as I've been alive that hasn't raised alarms.

I complain about it because its both reductive and counterproductive. But I don't think the majority of anything actually complains about that. It is usually a vocal minority of people chirping online or in safe spaces they feel they can vent and be hyperbolic.

I wouldn't be surprised if he does. But I also wouldn't be shocked if he just doesn't care enough to. I feel like using a slur requires a level of vitriol that Trump seems to reserve for individuals that he thinks wronged him. Come to think of it, I bet he calls a judge or prosecutor in one of his cases the n-word at some point.
