The fair use concept applies to any copyrighted material, I suppose.

BTW, maybe OpenAI can build on this their defence line. If they prove in court that the materials they got from Apple have never been used for design of products, and OpenAI only collected some linguistic statistics from the docs (as we know, training LLM is concepfually no different from calculating word frequencies), which does not violate copyrights. As for possible similafities in pfoducts to the Apple design, that's just a coincedence, developers can come to equal solutions when solving equal problenms. Equipped with modern AI assistants they quickly re-discover approaches others have discovered.

Android doesn't even let you access your files. It has famously blocked acess to the subfolders of /Android/data/ - every app has a subfolder there where it stores files. And you can not visit these subfolders since Android 11.

A buggy app accumulates gigabytes (literaly, i am not exagregating) of temp files there, but i cant visit the folder to delete them.

Google explains that "it's for you safety".

I have to call it with the strong word "idiotic".

There are apps now where storing files in a shared, accessible folder is a payed option.

Not only that is outrageous, I belive that violates the existing "right of access" laws like GDPR. I am condidering even submitting Subject Access Request to Google about my /Android/data/ subdirectories.

And capcha forces users to train neural networks for free, planning to then replace the users with those neural networks :)

Moreover, website ovners even pay for capcha. It should be other way around - people participated in training the neural nets should share profit and owhership of the networks, at the very least.

Ha-ha.

And in this world you want to own your hardware.

Thank you for the comment. I mean fences.

Haven't ever heard of barriers as a counter-like primitive (sounds like a semaphore or CountDownLatch)

Thank you very much.

I can not give you thi final feedback at the moment, I only breefly looked through the articles for not.

The first ones are very accessible (given my prior lnowledge of lamport clocks and happens before as in Java memory model), the later ones I am currently not sure are very clear.

But are easier than the docs I used when first approached this topic in the past, like Documentation/memory-barriers.txt and the Doug Lea's texts.

I am sarcastic because this discussion is about a different attack. Not about fishing.

(The OP says one time codes are worse than passwords. In case of fishing passwords fail the same way as one time codes.)

I was also sarcastic/provocative even in the prev comment, saying the GOOD site always includes a warning with the code making the attack impossible. A variation of the attack is very widely used by phone scammers: "Hello, we are updating intercomm on your appartment block. Please tell us your name and phone number. Ok, you will receive a code now, tell it to us". Yet many online services and banks still send one time codes without a warning to never share it!

The fishing point may also be used in defence of one time codes: if the GOOD service was using passwords instead of one time codes, the BAD could just initiated fishing attack, redirecting the user to a fake login page - people today are used to "Login with" flow.
