Not just you if that helps.

Human verification technology absolutely exists. Give it some time and people who sell ai today are going to shoehorn it everywhere as the solution to the problem they are busy creating now.

Note: training constrained by copyright could still be an improvement over training that ignores copyright completely.

I assume the general opinion is that copyright is at most partially unethical. That’s what the AI discussion is about too, i.e. artist copyright.

Given the extent to which the copyright system has benefited corporations and publishing companies to the detriment of individual authors and the general public, I'm constantly surprised that it still has many apologists.

As we don't live in a world where the rich patronize the arts some sort of copyright system is the only way authors and artists are gonna make a living doing their thing. ...though I suppose proponents of Universal Basic Income (UBI) would disagree, but between the abolishment of copyright, the institution of UBI, or a 7 year old child being hit by 7 lightning strikes and 7 meteor impacts and surviving; the latter seems the most likely.

What do you suggest instead? I.e. what would benefit individual authors more?

People imagine poor author having their thing stolen rather than poor author that corporate takes IP from by contract agreement (and if you don't do that, you don't get the job), then abuses for 70+ years

> it also would use less electricity

How would it use less electricity? I’d like to learn more.

That's completely not true. LLM on device would use MORE electricity.

Service providers that do batch>1 inference are a lot more efficient per watt.

Local inference can only do batch=1 inference, which is very inefficient.

Until you want better graphics, network, touch support, etc, etc.

Some people may not want that; and there are workarounds, even in dosbox itself; still, they are just that.

The page lists similar plans in FAQ: “To add additional functionalities (features) to the game (like online gaming, scalable HQ Grahics, HQ Audio, plugins, etc.).”

Only because bombs don’t charge as well. Aerosol cans and flammable liquids (e.g. alcohol) are allowed; in small quantities - just like power banks.

This is the first decent answer, which I appreciate. And while my comparison to a bomb may have been over the top, I don't think a comparison to shampoo is fair either. And in any case, I'm not so sure whether the limit on toiletries is all that sensical either.

> I don't think a comparison to shampoo is fair either

I’m not sure what you mean; when I Ctrl+F “shampoo”, this is the only hit I see.

There are non-rechargeable power banks too though.

Do you remember the model names?

Here are your beers lads, I didn't spill anything! They taste good too.

Since the one who picks them up pays, it's fair.

> If you have Capslock set to change your keyboard language, and your computer locks with Capslock enabled

How would your computer lock with capslock enabled? I.e. if capslock on that computer is set to change keyboard language?

Maybe they're saying the key rebound to serve as capslock doesn't work on the lock screen?

If yes, perhaps there are relatively easy ways to address this.

I.e. configure the custom binding to also work on lock screen. Karabiner supports this I think.

Alternatively, rebind caps lock with a custom binding and not os settings (i.e. don’t rebind keys in both a custom tool and the OS). Then, if custom bindings don’t work on lock screen, you get the default, working keyboard on lock screen.

FWIW, I clicked “skip” on a popup to set up apple intelligence and I didn’t see it again.

Of course this might change in future. And Mac OS has other popups where there is no “skip” and only “remind me later”.

Not technically under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence, but you might be surprised to find out what photoanalysisd is doing.

And if the surprise is unpleasant you can disable it by turning off memories and holidays in the settings of the photo app. Not so easy to escape Copilot on Windows.

That's more or less my experience with Copilot on Windows.

Even the linked blog post indicates that that is not the case. Windows has Copilot buttons on practically every built in application, a taskbar icon, and a dedicated physical keyboard key that people commonly accidentally hit (contractually required for OEMs to provide). They also actively promote Copilot in the OS (particularly Home Edition with nothing disabled e.g. "Tips," Notification Spam, Recommendations, etc).

Nobody can predict what Apple will do tomorrow, but as of today, they aren't really pushing Siri/Apple intelligence really hard particularly after initial setup. None of most of the above for example.

I have Pro Edition and for me Copilot only added two icons. One in Notepad and another one in Paint. I ignore both. There's also the Copilot app that I didn't even know I have installed.

I don't know what happens with Home Edition, but I though the pushback was mainly from Insider Preview?

You want to take a look at Microsoft office, my bad Microsoft copilot 365...

You can't even select a cell on notepad without a freaking copilot button pooping up every single time. Same on word, that's maddening !

You could argue that windows isn't Microsoft copilot 365, but then, why do people even use windows ? It's always because of the office, my bad, copilot 365 suite.

You can also get rid of both of them very easily with O&O Shutup 10++ (or any of many other GUIs or scripts designed for the same purpose of decrapifying Windows). I toggled off Copilot and Onedrive and haven't seen either in all the years I've been using Windows 11.
