Re:Microsoft and Epic Games Suddenly Agree That AI Is Theft on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @09:15AM (#50273046)
You can’t have the first one without the second one. AI doesn’t create something out of thin air, it is only recreating from training data. Which is infringing portion of the argument.
Awareness and care is one thing. A unanimous action plan is another. Violation of privacy is not viewed through similar lens as say theft or other forms of crimes.
I should have phrased it differently. I can’t find a decent spec phone priced appropriately that I can add to cart and order it.
Not a single Linux OS phone I can buy today in US with all the basic features working.

Not always. Many places will avoid hiring people to do the work instead they just contract it out. Saves them money in short term. Why hire someone at 100k, pay 401k, insurance, pto when I can simply buy it for 50k.

Also the first paragraph in github should explain what problem are you solving here. Is this like herdr but GUI?

It appears this guy is a low hanging fruit with previous cybercrime convictions that they grabbed to “send a message” to the group. But it doesn’t seem like they even know the identities of rest of the group members.

Re:Tell HN: OpenAI keeps re-enabling the 'allow training' setting on Thursday September 10, 2026 @11:42AM (#49645661)
Do you think the training process will retain these artifacts? I doubt it. If they were simply stealing the content - sure it would make sense - but I suspect they’re feeding it into training data and RL might distill these out.

> Second, you miscomprehended the article. The employee did not "threaten to ruin a prominent researcher's career"…

Proceeds to ask removal of another coauthor or else we totally discredit you - phrased as why would you do this to yourself.

Come on man, at least the example should be cached and presented in case the service is down
It’s a provision not circumvention, also not a hack. /s
You can always flash and factory reset. I’d bet 99.9% of phones on eBay are by and for general public and not some esoteric zero days in the wild that your comment makes it sound like.
IANAL - if they break the bail conditions the judge may issue a warrant depending on severity, clearly a warrant was not issued here, otherwise there’s no need for pretext like you said.

Article also states bail jumping charge was dismissed but the weed charge is the only charge that remains.

I don’t think courts care about technicality here. They’re going to simply ask “why didn’t it unlock like a normal phone does” -> aka you’re deliberately hiding evidence from us.

I’m sure this case will be dropped because it will open bigger can of worms and may jeopardize the current practice of warrantless invasive searches at the entry points. Secretly I hope this goes to Supreme Court and once and for all they clarify on “constitution doesn’t apply at the border” piece of thinking

if you wear red glasses...
Parents could file a class action? RICO? How is this any different from organized crime?
Re:My Favorite Keyboards on Thursday July 02, 2026 @05:33PM (#48767651)
What are those trackpads/touchpads between the left and right boards? What cables are those that are attached to both the keyboard and trackpad. Looks almost like an Ethernet cable but must be a usbC. Does anyone know the type/brand of the cable.
Just implant the AirTag on my body and share it with everyone ffs
jurisdiction is not dependent just on the person. it is a geographical encapsulation. all people within this boundary are subject to the jurisdiction.
lol public roads are mapped on Google Maps
Corruption and transparency are polar opposites
I can assure you Stellantis/Ford/GM stack is so bad that it’s nearly useless
It depends. Mediocre doctor in a remote area with right tooling assistance as opposed to no one being available for someone who urgently needs one? Yeah this should be a thing. Should a software bro in NY perform it in dark alley despite having best doctors few blocks away? Maybe not…
Let me get this straight. We have a memory shortage due to AI slop which is not really efficient and to solve that problem we need to stop the AI slop and hand write the code.
Isn’t tracking part of “search”? wouldn’t you need a warrant or court order to request my cellphone gps data? How is this tracking/search not contradictory to unreasonable search portion of the 4th amendment. The action of tracking and touching flock itself is violation of 4th amendment.
Wow you waited from 2012 to crack this joke with that username
