I think we should have a rule that says if a LLM company invokes fair use on the training inputs then the outputs are public domain.

The stat refers to voters who are not affiliated with a party.

Not the far-right Independent Party.

Because ultimately the problem with cars is how many of them there are, not what kind of engine they use. If there were only ever, say, 50,000 cars in the entire world we might not even notice the environmental costs. But Google tells me that there are over a billion.

Put another way, a diesel bus carrying 50 people is better for the environment than those 50 people each driving a separate EV car. Not because the bus has less engine emissions, but because it's a more efficient use of materials and energy.

Not if there are going to be hundreds of millions of them, no.

SSL/TLS, the "S" in HTTPS, and other network encryption protocols such as SSH, use a technique called a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. This is a mode of cryptography where each side generates two keys: a public half and a private half. Anything encrypted with the public half is only decryptable by the associated private half (and vice versa).

You and Youtube only ever exchange the public halves of your respective key pairs. If someone snoops on the key exchange all they can do is insert spoofed messages, not decrypt real ones.

Moreover, the keypairs are generated on the fly for each new session rather than reused. This means that even a future compromise of youtube won't unlock old sessions. This is a concept called forward secrecy.

Message spoofing is prevented by digital signatures. These also use the Diffie-Hellman principle of pairs of public/private keys, but use separate longer-term key pairs than those used with encryption. The public half of youtube's signing key, as presented by the server when you connect to it, has to be digitally signed by a well-known public authority whose public signing key was shipped with your web browser.

I just thought "pirate-friendly" was concise.

tl;dr: The users' comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).

Chakotay once used the TPD as an excuse to not answer a question from Janeway.

And she just accepted it.

The closest I can think of--at least as far as multi-generation epics--would be Wilbur Smith novels.

Is it antidemocratic to disqualify Trump from office and deny him a place on the ballot?

Third parties are often denied ballot access. Is that antidemocratic?

That's kind of the point.

Clementine originally forked from Amarok 1.4 because Amarok 2.0 changed too much.
