You just need to follow this to the logical conclusion. They’ll ban using your proposed method, people will switch to VPN and other modern methods and to combat people still accessing the forbidden internet they will need DPI and TSPU-like devices

This is just laying down the ground work for Russia-style deep packet inspection. “We don’t have a capability to censor the foreign internet, so we need measures to cut off the violating sites from our side”

Yes, you are of course technically correct, the best kind of correct. I think you are describing a nightmare, brother. You are describing hell.

> Have you sent them your remixes and asked if you can release them?

You have no idea what you are talking about. If something’s technically possible, it doesn’t mean that it is possible in reality or that people haven’t tried what you propose.

You know who also wants to avoid a copyright lawsuit? Me! I remixed some music and would like to show it to the other people. Too bad that if they like it, I will never ever be able to monetize it or will even have to delete it.

While we are at it, I’d also like Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere to make another Disco Elysium game.

While we are at it, I think Sci Hub is the greatest invention of the modern science and many scientists would agree - you can just look up how many papers thank Alexandra Elbakyan and her efforts.

While we are at it, I’d love if companies could use each other’s discoveries to speed up tech advancements rather than hoarding patents.

Have you heard about patent trolling? Is that a good system that encourages good and moral behaviour?

I could go on. You paint such a black and white picture - copyright is good because tech giants bad - I can only assume that you are driven by blind ideology and not what’s actually good for us as peers. Ask yourself what’s better for common good

Re:Amodei Re. Regulation on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @02:23AM (#49357614)
You are following the logic to its natural conclusion and I find it infinitely better for the discourse when it’s spelled out like this vs vaguely pointing to a set of other concerns without concrete proposals!
Re:Amodei Re. Regulation on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @02:19AM (#49357588)
I’m not asking you to solve it. Just curious what are the solutions that Anthropic can do right now from your perspective. The concerns you have are pretty well-defined, so the solutions for them must also flow naturally, I think?

No snark here from my side, just curious about your vision - which concrete actions by Anthropic could improve trust for the concerns you listed?

Fixed header isn't always a good thing, it can also be a mistake. Since content is the product, let the content take up all available space and use your browser navigation capabilities to navigate if necessary
Please look at the example that is literally on the front page of the lefthook website: https://lefthook.dev/

Re:Hosting a website on a disposable vape on Monday September 15, 2025 @02:18PM (#45253141)
I get the idea of making a frankenstein computer, I just disagree that 6502 is THE platform to do it on. Practically, there's no way for me to find it. Other comment mentions ARM, which is a much more interesting proposal to me
Re:Hosting a website on a disposable vape on Monday September 15, 2025 @12:26PM (#45251649)
If I scavenge any machine today, how likely would I be to find a 6502 vs something more modern? I’d argue that some people might have a NES at home and one could get a 2A03 from it, but in a hypothetical scenario where I need to scavenge some computational power, I’d find an Android phone

Re:Claude Sonnet Will Ship in Xcode on Friday August 29, 2025 @01:45AM (#45060647)
I tried this myself and IMO, this might be basic and day-to-day for you, with unambiguous correct paths to follow, but this is pretty niche nevertheless. LLMs thrive when there's a wealth of examples and I struggle to Google what you asked myself, meaning that LLM will perform even worse than my try.
