EvilMonkeySlayer,

Yep, I think they need to get SteamOS on these if they want to compete. Windows is simply not good for devices like this, at all.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

I think it's those stupid hard coded buttons on my remote that I accidentally press every so often then have to repeatedly try and back/exit out of the stupid thing it launched that I cannot remove/uninstall from my tv.

The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement (www.theverge.com)

The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, claiming the two companies built their AI models by “copying and using millions” of the publication’s articles and now “directly compete” with its content as a result....

EvilMonkeySlayer,

How so?

The trained model includes vast swathes of copyrighted material. It's the rights holders who get to decide whether someone can use it.

Just because it makes it inconvenient or harder for someone to train an AI model does not justify wholesale stealing.

A lot of models are even trained on large numbers of pirated material like books downloaded from pirate sites etc. I guarantee you OpenAI and others didn't even buy a lot of the material they use to train the AI models on.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

And there's my decision not to buy an Xbox vindicated.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

If Ukraine gets Gripen then they get access to an air platform that can fire the best air to air missile in the world.

Meteor is deadly.

They could use F-16's in the SEAD/DEAD/bomb truck role whilst using the Gripens to shoot down russian jets and helicopters from extreme range.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

"Code is the documentation"

Is the laziest excuse I've come across. Like, not everyone knows everything and complex code exists, it is not hard to put in some text explaining the basics of what something does.

Like, unless you're dealing with that code everyday it's going to look like double dutch to anyone new coming to it.

I've had people say that to me before, and it is absolutely infuriating in its laziness and cop out excuse.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

I think for me everything doesn't feel connected, to go anywhere it's always a loading screen. It is very clearly a limitation of their engine, but it just makes everything feel disconnected.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

For those of us who aren't American and want to at least have a semblance of a hope of keeping up with it there's a wikipedia page for the indictments.

WikiLeaks publishes "The Intolerance Network", over 17,000 documents from right-wing campaigning organisations globally (wikileaks.org)

The data covers the work of organisations HazteOir and CitizenGO, comprising documents which date from 2001 to 2017 like spreadsheets of donors and members, strategy and planning documents, letters, financial charts and legal and training documents. HazteOir was first founded in 2001 in Spain to campaign for right wing values,...

EvilMonkeySlayer,

They got compromised by russia years ago. Take a look at how often they refuse to publish russian government info for example.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

The comments in here are literally the Spiderman pointing meme.

Right, left and so forth have all committed genocides, mass killings etc. Grow the fuck up you partisan hacks.

What stupidity, god damn.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart peaks at less than 9k concurrent players on Steam, third worst PC launch for PlayStation game (gameworldobserver.com)

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the latest PlayStation game ported to PC. While it got attention thanks to the use of DirectStorage 1.2, its launch numbers are quite unimpressive compared to SIE’s other first-party titles on Steam.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

I don't think Sony can get away with releasing sub-par PC ports like The Last Of Us without it impacting on their other games. This stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum, it has knock on consequences to all their other PC releases.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

Ah, the oldie.

I'm from Leeds, and yes all trains terminate customers here.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

Would not be surprised if they slurped up data from sites like reddit etc where any conversation that goes on long enough eventually devolves into a slinging match.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

His name is Steve Huffman, using Spez means he gets to avoid a lot of the public criticism through google searches etc.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

I wonder at what point people start taking them to court. It seems like the usual idiot tech bro excuse of thinking terms of service/use somehow override the law which is hilariously naive.

You cannot override the law in a TOS.

Like if they wrote down that they were allowed to murder you written into their TOS and proceeded to murder you they'd still go to jail for murder.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

Honestly, I didn't mind them. If they had them on kbin I wouldn't mind as long as that money went to server upkeep etc. Somebody has to pay for hosting.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

It really does make me wonder at what point the apollo dev does take Huffman to court for defamation.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

Reddit told Barron’s the company has communicated to its communities that access to the data involves costs. It also said the Apollo app is less efficient than other third-party apps.

Oh dear. Reddit once again burning that bridge.
