Never saw it but I was always really impressed by the art style of the 3D. It looked very true to what the peanuts should look like.
I just updated my home network to 2.5gb so I'm glad to see this.
You're fundamentally misunderstanding my argument.
If you use AI to, for example, learn how to decompress or recompress a file, how can you be sure that the outputting function doesn't match one-for-one an (open or closed) source implementation? You literally cannot, as the AI system generally operates on a black box and cannot "learn" how to attribute and, cynically, the people who make the AI tools do not want to learn how to attribute code from the original developers. Since AI learns code from source code, there's a higher liklihood it matches a known implementation that it does represent a wholly unique implementation.
If you take Godot's renderer code (MIT project) and copy and paste it into a project that is also MIT, that doesn't mean you can get rid of the Godot attribution. You must preserve the attribution of the code -- this is important to learn for all open source developers.
The "learning" argument you're proposing, which is buying into AI anthropomorphisation, still doesn't protect you from copyright. If you have photographic memory and worked at adobe, for example, you can't simply "learn" the code and output the same code to an open source competitor. This is generally why people who work on closed source try to avoid working in same-field open source -- the risk of violation is way too high unless you intentionally break design decisions.
Individual code snippets might not be covered but it depends on the line count -- but that also changes from territory to territory. IANAL, so my general advice for people who are "learning" from closed source to contribute to alike open source: just don't. There are other open source projects that can use your skills. And if you're looking at other open source projects and taking whole functions, you must attribute the project in question (this is pretty easy but depends also on the license of the code you're looking at.) AI doesn't have the capacity to understand any of this nuance, and I'd argue it doesn't understand this by design: hurting copyright hurts open source more than it hurts big exploitative businesses.
Worth noting, most documentation for a language will generally have CC0 copyright. But it is important to copyright code snippets in documentation, otherwise you can argue that the copyright is non-permissive (wholly owned by the individual who posted it.)
The issue with KDE accepting AI generated code is that it's arguably not the right of the programmer to "submit" code produced by an AI as the copyright of the training material is questionable. It's like the inverse of white-room engineering, there's actually no way of knowing whether the code coming out of the black box is "original" or not. Additionally, it's debatable whether materials produced by an AI can even have their own copyright (under US laws, it would make sense if it wasn't applicable to copyright) which also means it cannot be licensed under most open source licenses.
They need to establish rules grounded with the understanding that AI generated code cannot be copyrighted by the user who produced it, which means it cannot be licensed under the KDE licenses as is.
That's my 2 cents. I do think them having a discussion around it is important going forward.
UGH. Remind me again where they got the money to buy all this stuff in the first place?
Just add it to the big pile of reasons to hate Microsoft. They literally can't even hold on to things that were good without turning them shitty lol.
Crazy to think it was actually that bad. I don't feel like the quality of Sonic Frontiers reflects just how make or break the series was at that point in time.
My understanding is that the battery life is pretty poor even when only streaming. 1:45 to 2 hours is the estimate I've heard.
This admittedly sounds pretty bad as it means you'll likely need to be plugged in, which kind of defeats the point of a wireless headset. I imagine there'll be some last minute attempt to eek out more battery life wins, but considering the brightness and refresh needs for VR, it might not be possible to get much more out of it.
Because in some respects the original ghost in the shell was saying something about these nations. The entire significance of the back end political theater is a bit meaningless if the places talked about are abstract considering it has to do with one nation faking a terrorist attack in order to perpetuate a war against another nation. This isn't even touching how, in the world of GitS, the United States is supposed to be a tyrannical empire on the quest of taking over the entire Americas and a bit of a malicious ally to Japan. Gee, I wonder why they censored that. 🤔
The goal Science Saru had was to adapt the manga as is. The censorship of it, unfortunately, has undermined the goal. I still enjoyed it but I hope that an eventual blu ray release untainted hy Amazon restores the intended names. It really hurts the world building of the original GitS which, yes had plenty of fake names, but did try to ground those fake names as evolutions of existing nation states.
Speaking anecdotally based on my conversations with SO who is a native Japanese speaker and very glued into internet culture. She's more liberal than most though.
It's not entirely true that AI is more popular in Japan. In fact, many creatives feel that the practice is in violation of Japan's much more strict copyright policies (compared to the US) and are seeking government action (which, so far, they are waffling back and forward on based on the week to week dynamics with the US. Weeks where the US footguns itself, they humor it again.) So in some respects, AI is a direct threat to the only power that modern Japan has in the global economy: soft power and intellectual property. They aren't the same Japan as the 80s, even cars aren't doing as well as they used to.
That being said, Japanese cultural dynamics are such that people are much more willing to "put up" with things instead of resistance. This creates the appearance of what people think is complete acceptance, but it's generally more complicated than that socially speaking. It's more a complacency to fall in line with how their employers or how their government feels about AI.
Government action toward AI is basically inexistent in most parts of the world right now, but I understand that a big part of this is US capitulation since the entire US economy is propped up by AI hype. Japan, much like Europe in the Ukraine situation, is unfortunately very dependent on the United States now for Oil due to the Strait of Hormuz closure and are not yet willing to do provocative action against US companies who are in definite blatant infringement of Japanese copyright laws. This has ruffled feathers of some activist politicians, but unfortunately Japan is very much losing it's own battle to the far right atm due to xenophobic spread of misinformation from AI generated anti foreigner rhetoric.
That's my understanding of the situation. And again, this is second hand and purely anecdotal discussion, but I think it's a bit more complicated than acceptance of generative AI and more a commentary on how acceptance works in Japan in the first place.
Having checked it out a bit, I'm still waiting for something a bit more substantial here.
Granted, MK is MK, but I do feel like there's something missing with MKW that isn't covered by just adding the SMK courses. Additionally, I think green shells should be bouncing more and not less. As it factors in right now, green shells are basically a non factor for first place on second lap scenarios (which, granted, are rare in this game considering most of the players will want to play Knockout Mode.)
Lastly, I feel like Knockout needs some level design adjustments. The in-between sections still feel a bit too vanilla right now.
Overall I'm glad they're making some progress in fixing some of the games issues, and time trial improvements are good as well, so I'm eager to see if and when they'll make some proper DLC to fix the rest of the issues.
Agreed, I'm looking forward to check it out.
No volumes mounted and yes, it's using the podman backend. Just double checked it wasn't using the docker one.
