As a unicyclist, all the sideways-riding caught my eye for being especially silly.
However, I'm very surprised that most of the models make the same sideways mistake with only some of the animals, and they do it consistently.
With most of the models, cat, raccoons, and otters are almost always riding sideways. Why is that?
Branding was usually based on FCC callsigns. But not always... many people in the US grew up with some Z100 or morning crew brands too.
Other countries have similarly arbitrary brands based on either band spectrum or regulatory regimes - eg Channel 4 / Radio 4
No.
I'm surprised Comcast or some other ISP doesn't step in with a claim of tortious interference. Reselling or granting access to the ISPs services like this is almost always against the ISPs terms of service.
The consumer is in no place to consent to this exchange.
Say more about the one exception you know of?
While it can overheat and become problematic if taken to extremes, I've become convinced that this kind of tension is healthy in the prioritization process, and that you need a healthy equilibrium between engineering and product/management concerns.
Thinking about the possibility that there are orgs which sidestep this and still succeed is interesting.
Yeah, that's fair.
On the history, everything I know is from this excellent article, so might as well cite it here for the curious, and just in case you haven't seen it:

The number of hitches which come out of the arborist community is pretty mind bending. It's one of my favorite things about climbing.
Tons of tree climbers are pretty experienced splicers as well. State of the art there continues to advance year after year.
The Zeppelin bend is exceptionally good and was invented in the 60s.
I'm not so sure about that. The history of the Zeppelin bend is incredibly contentious and apocryphal.
Data can't be "stolen", only copied
Though, scrapers can certainly steal capacity through conversion for their own use. When they do so, they permanently deprive the site owner and other users the beneficial use of that capacity at that time.
I'm speaking morally, not legally. Though, in the US at least, there are parallels with free newspapers. You're allowed to take one for free. It's not legal to clear the whole rack.
Thanks, that makes the parallels with "trash" clear. I could have chosen a better example.
Is it transitive? As an American I know the word, but rubbish as a verb is utterly unfamiliar.
The author may get further if they put love of communication over love of language.
"Rubbishing" is a worthless gerund. Is rubbish even a verb anywhere?
When people here are saying "credit cards" are we talking about purely domestic networks, or what?
Visa and Mastercard payment rails are somewhat disjoint, even for large Indian companies. As a foreigner, there's always been a huge acceptance gap vs many other countries when you want to use a card.
We were a provider very intimately dependent on Apple's ecosystem and had no appetite whatsoever for a fight.
It rounded down to nothing. Might have been $10 or $100 to make it real consideration.
As someone dealing with similar on a large site, I'd love to see a private community to discuss some of these issues.
Elaborate enough?
Funny story: I used to work for a startup which had a trademark on "Airdrop". When Apple announced that feature, it took everyone there by surprise. Ended up reaching out and selling it to them for a buck or two in favor of maintaining goodwill.
Can only speak to my experience here in Washington, but 40 years ago you still needed to go to the reservation for the fun stuff. Even basic small firecrackers were outlawed in my county.
I think that might be a descriptive statement based on what's in the market, vs hypothetical implementations.
I wasn't speaking to morality, but copyright law, especially in the US, cares about the fixing of a creative act in a specific medium.
Like a monkey at a camera, the automated output from an LLM does not automatically afford protection.
I don't think that's true at all. Capnography, the measure of carbon dioxide partial pressure is wholly separate from pulseox:
Pulse oximeters have some limitations. They can only employ light at two wavelengths. Thus the devices can only distinguish between hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin. When carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin are also present, there are two additional wavelengths required for differentiation. In the presence of elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels, pulse oximetry overestimates the true saturation of oxygen as carboxyhemoglobin binds with a higher affinity than oxygen. In the case of carbon monoxide poisoning, the absorbance spectrum of carbon monoxide is very similar to hemoglobin, which results in a falsely high level of oxygen (overestimation of oxygen saturation) ...
There needs to be a meter for the amount of AI writing in blogposts. Same physics, same climb, same afternoon fog.
Yeah, this article is pretty sloppy. No effort. No research. Just raw plagiarism and AI tropes.
How much instruction do you need though?
What if I prompt Claude to go prompt Suno? What if the same chain happens internally at Suno? Easy to imagine the human input being very dilute and a small part overall.
We will therefore not knowingly attribute royalties to music we identify as wholly AI-generated.
Seems like Tidal is leaning on a probable lack of copyright for fully generated works here, otherwise wouldn't this run head-first into the music modernization act?
How is this sarcasm? I had almost the exact same thought in earnest: A gas turbine company being called Solar Turbines is quite interesting and unexpected if you're not familiar with that particular corporate history.
Magneto Optical discs were also somewhat popular in this era.
Discussing style is only scratching the surface on classical rhetoric.
An LLM will rarely be able to move the needle on ethos or pathos beyond generating well-formed sentences with proper spelling.
As Alex Shigo likes to point out, it's too easy to try and explain infrastructure damage in terms of trees, while giving expansive soils a free pass.
That's like explaining frost-jacking of a wall in terms of temperature instead of hydrology.
The iOS app "Is it snappy?" Is great for things like this.
If a PE vulture keeps a company with marginal profitability alive, there is absolutely no way they're devoting any kind type of human capital to proper maintenance.
It's likely running on the original infrastructure from acquisition, is full of EOL dependencies, and likely wasn't well-secured to begin with even before the takeover.
Any changes to regulatory requirements are also likely ignored. The EULA is probably full of all sorts of falsehoods about how they maintain the site. ("We use commercially standard methods to secure and blah blah blah ...")
Keeping these kinds of zombie sites online is not a win-win situation.
