Though Nintendo’s not going after Pocketpair because lamballs look uncomfortably similar to wooloos, we do know the company is famously litigious in protecting its brand.
So no one really knows what exactly Nintendo is accusing them of yet.
Here's an older video by an attorney that did a deep dive on Palworld and its legality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns3ATH556NU (Warning: long video).

This has been driving me crazy.
I'm using a Pixel with GrapheneOS and the FUTO Keyboard.
Slight workaround for everyone on Android: Click the keyboard selector at the bottom right of your screen and just select the already active keyboard. This will temporarily fix it until you start to type up a different comment.

When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:
https://www.the-sun.com/motors/11008328/photo-towing-van-speeding-ticket-evidence/
Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:
https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-red-light-ticket-camera-illinois-car-stolen-theft/11677595/
And the police/courts won't help you because it's a problem from the private company running the cameras... I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.
A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).
Even then, I'd rather cameras not be used in this way at all.

Flappy Bird wasn't the first to even implement a game like this.
I remember playing a very similar game with a helicopter and another one with a worm long before that app released for phones.
Flappy Bird is just the game of this type that ended up going viral in its time.

I think this title is being easily misunderstood.
Dell is not cutting jobs by having AI compensate for those positions, they're cutting down on sales teams and creating a new team that focuses on AI products.
From the article:
The latest job cuts appear to be part of a broader reorganization of Dell's sales teams, including the creation of a new group focused on AI products and services – an area where Dell plans significant growth. For instance, in June, Dell, alongside Supermicro, was selected to provide hardware infrastructure for Elon Musk's xAI startup's AI supercomputer.

If you really want this to work, you would have to train/fine tune a model by feeding it a bunch of images that show that person's handwriting.

Since "Arena Commander" also shows up on that list, this could just be a smaller mini game that ends up in the verse somehow.
For all we know this could be one of the first arcade games implemented on one of those arcade machines in-game.
But there's still a chance that they are working on building out a different game.
Best to wait until we have more info...

Well, I don't think anyone is really sure just how exactly time travel can mess with stuff. I would probably take a page from some time travel movie I saw. I would want to avoid any sort of temporal paradox and avoid too many changes.
So, I would probably remove myself from the equation as much as possible. Go to a hotel or somewhere where I can avoid accidentally running into anyone I might know. Leave all electronics behind, but take a book or something. Spend the whole day avoiding TV/News/People and just reading or work on perfecting a skill. At the end of the day I would call up a broker from the hotel room and find out which stock had the greatest percentage gain that day. Just enough information for one good trade.
Then I would go back to that morning, buy up a ton of that stock, live out life normally, then sell the stock at the end of the day.
Rinse and repeat for a short time.
I would absolutely avoid something like winning the lottery, but for those of you who would use time travel to win the lottery, you might want to follow the advice from this comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the_happiest_5word_sentence_you_could_hear/chb38xf/

Ok, but the most important part of that research paper is published on the github repository, which explains how to provide audio data and text data to recreate any STT model in the same way that they have done.
See the "Approach" section of the github repository: https://github.com/openai/whisper?tab=readme-ov-file#approach
And the Traning Data section of their github: https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/model-card.md#training-data
With this you don't really need to use the paper hosted on arxiv, you have enough information on how to train/modify the model.
There are guides on how to Finetune the model yourself: https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper
Which, from what I understand on the link to the OSAID, is exactly what they are asking for. The ability to retrain/finetune a model fits this definition very well:
The preferred form of making modifications to a machine-learning system is:
- Data information [...]
- Code [...]
- Weights [...]
All 3 of those have been provided.
QuadratureSurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
I don't understand. What's missing from the code, model, and weights provided to make this "open source" by the definition of your first link? it seems to meet all of those requirements.
As for the OSAID, the exact training dataset is not required, per your quote, they just need to provide enough information that someone else could train the model using a "similar dataset".
QuadratureSurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
I did a quick check on the license for Whisper:
Whisper's code and model weights are released under the MIT License. See LICENSE for further details.
So that definitely meets the Open Source Definition on your first link.
And it looks like it also meets the definition of open source as per your second link.
Additional WER/CER metrics corresponding to the other models and datasets can be found in Appendix D.1, D.2, and D.4 of the paper, as well as the BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) scores for translation in Appendix D.3.

This is for testing server meshing and the new networking system (RMQ) they're putting in place to handle transferring information across the shards.
So this sounds like they'll probably have 4+ server nodes for the shard that's dedicated to stanton.
The last time we did this test, they opened it up for 400 players, the servers fell apart around 350 or so players. If they're able to handle closer to 800 players this time then they've definitely made improvements... They could also be adding on more server nodes for this test.

They also gave him a fake line to deliver and didn't reveal that Darth Vader was actually Luke's father during the filming of that scene: https://www.soundandvision.com/news/100104hamill/

Well, they've continued to churn out features and develop the game, so people keep supporting them.
There are definitely ups and downs, but overall they've made a lot of progress in the past few years.
A small group of players have been able to use jump gates to jump over to the Pyro system and back. That's supposed to be released to everyone by the end of the year, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a PTU release, with it finally going live a few months later.

I'm guessing it's because Lemmy doesn't support multiple images on a single post.
You would have to post the image, then include any additional images in the body text.
However, with the app I use at least, I have had issues doing this where the images in the body did not show up at all.
Either way, I agree it's a little frustrating especially because this fractures the discussion across multiple posts.

I don't think this is specifically an "AI" problem as much as it's a privacy issue with the way companies are buying and selling our info for targeted advertising.

Yeah, the other thing I could see happening is a similar tactic used by scammers where they use Mules who pick up mail from various Airbnbs throughout whatever country, but this would definitely limit most bot operations... Unless some organization specializes in this and just offers some service to create a bunch of accounts for anyone willing to pay.
Also, how many accounts would you limit to a single address, and how long would you lock up an address before it could be used again (given that people do move around from time to time).
edit:typo.
QuadratureSurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
That's a good point. I didn't know about the USPS Form 1583 for virtual mailboxes... Although that is a U.S. specific thing, so finding a similar service in a country that doesn't care so much might be the way to go about that.
QuadratureSurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
Yep, exactly this. It might deter some small time bot creators, but it won't stop larger operations and may even help them to seem more legitimate.
If anything, my favorite idea comes from this xkcd:
QuadratureSurfer 2 weeks ago • 100%
Easy way to get around that with "virtual" addresses: https://ipostal1.com/virtual-address.php
Just pay $10 for every account that you want to create.... you may as well just go with the solution of charging everyone $10 to create an account. At least that way the instance owner is getting supported and it would have the same effect.

Released last year, and going to be shut down by January 18, 2025
Looks like a free to play MMO with microtransactions and a season pass. No refunds will be given out.
It's not the best example for the Stop Killing Games movement, but it at least highlights the trend of studios that are releasing games and then dropping all support soon after.
It would be great if studios started planning for an end of life transition where players could spin up their own servers, or at least allow some sort of offline mode so that the game doesn't just become completely unplayable.

MotD > 🕹️ (Thor's Day) We are currently building a new PTU candidate for a 3.24 Evocati release later today. This build is a Wave 1 candidate and we are looking to potentially open up to Wave 1 late tonight If it goes well for a couple hours with Evocati. Some of my own thoughts: Yesterday's test went a lot more smoothly compared to the previous builds. I still have some major concerns about 3.24, but hopefully the biggest things get addressed before it goes Live. (Let's just say it's way too easy to steal things from other players in armistace right now). They fixed most of the ship spawning issues in the hangar, as well as some nasty teleporting bugs. They've focused on trying to make it so that, if the hangar doors are closed in the view of either the server or the client, at least one layer of the doors will appear closed to the player (hopefully no more destruction for flying into invisible hangar doors). There are some amazing fixes for ultra-widescreen users (no more massively overscaled ui icons on your HUD, and inventory scales correctly now).
