Hardware signing stuff is not a real solution. It's security through obscurity.
If someone has access to the hardware, they technically have access to the private key that the hardware uses to sign things.
A determined malicious actor could take that key and sign whatever they want to.
Windows 11 is little more than a reskin of windows 10, and they still fucked it up.
Rounded corners are mandatory (Why? I really preferred squared ones). But developers can choose to have their windows square. Why only the developers? Let the user decide how a windows looks like!
And don't get me started on the start menu. It was a complete massacre. Tiles are gone (am I the only one that liked them?). Instead, now we pin apps to the start menu. Fine I guess, except for the fact that half of the fucking menu is taken up by fucking recomendations. If I remove every single recommendation, instead of having my space back for more pinned programs I get this message: "oh you like this precious white space? If you turned on some recommendations it would show something". No, i don't want recommendations, I want my start menu space back. Which btw in windows 10 used to be resizable to whatever size I wanted.
Oh and lets not forget about the volume mixer. Which some genius decided that it was better to keep it 10 clicks away from the user in the settings, instead of conveniently at one click in the taskbar. Which they also made the sound settings their own special taskbar element, instead of another taskbar program. So now if I want to replace their shitty sound settings with the ones I like (trumpet btw), now I would have 2 sound settings in the taskbar, while in win10 I only had 1.
And whose Idea was to join the sound settings and internet settings in the same taskbar button visually? Which is also not the same button functionally. You see, if you press the left side of the button it opens the sound settings, but the right side opens the internet settings. How much do Microsoft UI people get paid?
I guess we got dark notepad, that's nice.
That is because when you're a beginner, you read everywhere that you should be using anaconda and jupyter notebooks. I know because I did so. Neither of them lasted more than a week on my computer though.
Anything that's not an integer or a range doesn't belong inside []. Much more readable to use zip, map, filter, etc. And more powerful.
EDIT: that was meant for indexing lists. Strings inside [] for indexing ducts are fine.
I haven't used npm. But pip is horrible. Some times I've used a well-known library that only works on linux, but there is no mention of it whatsoever, and it installs without problem. The error only happens at run-time (not even when importing!) and says nothing about platform-dependency. I only learned that it was a linux-only library because I happened to try running it on a Linux machine to see if it worked.
Many times you have to set up your environment a specific way (environment variables, PATH, install dependencies outside of pip) for it to work, and there's no mention of it anywhere. Sometimes you install the library with pip, sometimes with apt, and there is no way to know which one. And sometimes the library is both in apt and pip, but the pip one does nothing.
Furthermore, good luck importing a library. You might have installed it with "pip install my-library" but to import it you have to do "import MyAwesomeLibrary3". And pip won't tell you about that.
The mistake was choosing a language, and afterwards searching for a use to the language you just learned.
It not being fully 3D doesn't mean that it's of lower quality.
For example when consoles got powerful enough to draw 3D backgrounds you could see a significant decline in background quality, since you can have a higher quality 2D background for a fraction of the resources.
I don't think changing a profession's terms to "prevent stupid jokes" is a smart move.
We need to differentiate between those cases because they are 2 distinct cases. And they are very different.
They don't even have the same purpose. The purpose of a human learning is: fulfill a desire to learn or acquiring a new skill that will be useful to fulfill another desire. The purpose of AI learning is: increase the value of the model so it can be sold for more.
Lemmy is not an entity that is capable of thought. And I'm not Lemmy. I'm just another person and what you are reading is my opinion.
"Publishers are bad and greedy, therefore everything that hurts them is good for society" is a childish take imo. Not everything is black and white. Copyright exists for a reason. Just removing it won't make the world better. A law being flawed doesn't make it worse than not existing.
Don't need to get philosophical about what is the difference between human and AI learning.
"Consumed by AI" and "consumed by a human" are two distinct use cases that can have different terms in a license.
Media is not exactly like cheese though. With cheese, you buy it and it's yours. Media, however, is protected by copyright. When you watch a movie, you are given a license to watch the movie.
When an AI watches a movie, it's not really watching it, it's doing a different action. If the license of the movie says "you can't use this license to train AI, use the other (more expensive) license for such purposes", then AIs have extra fees to access the content that humans don't have to pay.
They should've looked at their star software product: Microsoft access.
