An LLM can essentially reproduce a work, and the whole point is to generate derivative works. So by its very nature, it runs into copyright issues.

Derivative works are not copyright infringement. If LLMs are spitting out exact copies, or near-enough-to-exact copies, that’s one thing. But as you said, the whole point is to generate derivative works.

I didn’t realize Lemmy was so restrictive. 🙄

The government does actually censor broadcast television and radio. I can’t remember why they’re allowed to.

That’s a shame. I love my PHEV because it’s an EV for driving around the city, but I can still use gas stations on road trips. I plug it in everywhere I can.

Ubisoft is the CBS of the game industry.

Is that true? PC, Xbox, or both?

Also Hello Internet (RIP).

Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.

Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.

Nobody hates leftists like slightly different leftists.

The 13” iPad Pro M4 is thinner than the iPod Nano, making it the thinnest device Apple has ever made (except for the camera bump, but we don’t talk about that). It’s wild how thin it is, but it’s significantly lighter than its predecessor and is much nicer to hold.

But it can be that thin because it’s large enough that the battery can be spread out. I wouldn’t want a phone that thin.

So glad my RT-AC86U kept having serious issues with the 2.4 GHz radio such that nothing would stay connected to the internet without 5 GHz support so I eventually trashed the damn thing after every solution failed.

SD3 won’t have the community to tune it because it is proprietary junk and irrelevant now.

What changed between SDXL and SD3? I’m out of the loop on this one.

Woof, yeah, something’s wrong if you’re only getting four hours from that battery. Is your phone constantly hot? Might be worth a visit to the “Genius” (🙄) bar.

Check your battery health in settings.

iPhone 11 is approaching five years old, and Li-Ion batteries don’t have an endless lifespan. Especially if you let it get below 20% frequently. I wouldn’t be shocked if your maximum battery capacity is pretty low, and that’s just normal wear and tear.

You could probably replace the battery at an Apple Store or certified repair shop, which would essentially make it behave like a new iPhone 11.

There were some battery drain issues in iOS17 related to specific apps, IIRC, which have since been resolved.

The thing Apple got sued for was sort of the opposite of increasing battery drain: slowing the performance of the phone to prevent it from shutting off while still having battery capacity. Phone battery draw isn’t smooth, it’s spiky, and they were dealing with a defective battery design that didn’t have a properly predictable voltage curve. So occasionally the CPU would require a voltage the battery couldn’t provide and the phone would turn off, even though the battery had plenty of juice. To prevent these shutoffs, they underclocked devices with older batteries.

The problem is they didn’t really tell anyone what they were doing, at least not publicly enough.

I doubt it. Regardless of the current stage of machine learning, everyone is now tuned in and pushing the tech. Even if LLMs turn out to be mostly a dead end, everyone investing in ML means that the ability to do LOTS of floating point math very quickly without the heaviness of CPU operations isn’t going away any time soon. Which means nVidia is sitting pretty.

Which is completely meaningless when you can’t repair the hardware 🤦

Well sure, their anti-right-to-repair shit has been very frustrating. Certainly something worth hating them for. But you can repair those devices if you get a certified shop to do it. Or if you don’t mind not having biometric sensors or NFC. It isn’t an example of planned obsolescence, just an example of poorly communicating and handling potential security concerns. You’ll note that Apple isn’t alone in this (not that this excuses the behavior).

It’s okay, you don’t have to defend the corporations to make yourself feel better about your poor purchase decisions…

I’m not defending anyone. Hate on whomever you want, just hate them for accurate reasons. I was a proud OnePlus user when the Apple battery throttling went down, but I bothered to educate myself on the subject. It was poorly handled, but it wasn’t planned obsolescence.

They want to support their old devices for the same reason they don’t want to support Android with iMessage: they want parents to give their children their old Apple devices so the whole family gets locked into their ecosystem. That’s shitty. That’s worth hating them for.

when Apple goes to such great lengths to ensure planned obsolescence.

My brother in J-Town, they release full OS updates for five year old phones, and security updates for eight year old phones.

There are LOTS of reasons to hate Apple. Support for older devices isn’t one of them.

They did offer cheap battery replacements to anyone with the affected models, essentially just covering the labor cost. Like $30 for a brand new battery.

No one makes batteries easy to replace on flagships these days because everyone is more concerned with waterproofing and form factor than they are with ease of battery replacement. I do miss the days of my old HTC Sensation, where I could just pop the back off and swap out the battery. I would carry around charged spares with me, so I would just turn off the phone, swap the battery, and have full battery instantly.

Those updates are easy when you have to release a system update to update the safari browser. Hell, you could call it a major security fix and fix some security issue on an old phone and every fanboy would be like “OMG iPhone 3s got an update.🤤” whereas Google can just ship browser fixes over the app store.

Except that’s not what Apple means when they say they’ll update phones for five years. Security fixes aren’t the same as full iOS versions.

iOS 17, which came out September 2023, is available for the iPhone XR and XS, which came out in September of 2018. That’s a full OS update with all the non-hardware-based bells and whistles.

Security patches may very well release for older phones, but not full OS updates. Earlier this year they dropped a security patch for the iPhone 6S, a phone from 2015.

That’s not how taking advantage of a hype boom works. You HAVE to get your terrible, half-baked product out while the hype is here.
