>democracy, per se, includes minority protections (i. e. if it doesn't then it isn't a democracy to begin with).
Democracy has nothing to do with minority protections. I don't understand you can say it per se includes minority protections. Democracy includes whatever enough people think it should include. If people don't want such protections then there is no need for them.
X lost data scraping lawsuits against both Bright Data and and the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Meta also lost a data scraping lawsuit against Bright Data.
Based on these past losses, it seems highly unlikely that X would win a data scraping lawsuit against nitter, xcancel, or twitterwebviewer.
However, I think that X's real goal is to force the nitters to go through the legal process if they want to stay online. X's hope is that nitter and xcancel and twitterwebviewer will shut down rather than hiring expensive lawyers and going through the exhausting legal process.
Then do it. Hypothetically claiming the job can be automated as an excuse to pay people less is older than everyone alive today. Lying to exploit workers is nothing new.
Until you actually remove the need for a human, you have to pay full price for human labor. Which if you used AI is never really going to happen. Someone has to evaluate what AI creates to make sure it does what was asked. This trend of not prosecuting crimes conducted by AI cannot last forever. The CEO would be the only one arrestable as the CEO is the only person with decision power in the company.
If you select who you provide services to based on their ideology, you can’t shrug and say “I’m just an infrastructure provider, same as the electrical grid” when it turns out that some of those individuals committed crimes using the stuff you gave them.
That’s a very different situation compared to the standard “sign up with your email here”. The provider is responsible because they picked their clients, rather than their clients picking them.
I think the reason for the this is the additional software applications pre-installed on top of windows where the publishers of those applications are paying for the right to be “distributed” in this way. Think in terms of software that is pre-installed but requires a subscription for continued use like anti-virus software, productivity software, media editors and players, etc.
Ie: the Windows OEM license costs less than the total amount of money that the other software publishers are paying for distribution and if you reject windows, your are rejecting things that subsidize the price of the PC itself.
a little more info on what is reimagined about it might help. it seems like a terminal which u type commands into for it to do stuff. whats going to make me wanna use it?
In the case of TUIs I’m going to assume you review the code externally in neovim or lazy git or something like that?
I don’t like relying on GIT for that and making things as good/done as I go. But with these agentic tools that’s what I have to do. Stage everything I like, manually edits a few bits.
But what do you when you find something where you want to say the agent: I don’t like this for reasons x and y redo as z. I’m like one shortcut away in context inside cursor to say that to my agent? You have to change tab in herdr and then what? Type the file name and line numbers? Is there a way to do this that does not seem very frustrating?
Also open code, codex, etc. super slow. They grep the code. Every. Single. Time. Cursor has a semantic index
I get news from Ukraine just in a good enough pace from various bloggers etc on youtube. Then there is telegram, thats arguably even a better source for the "this just happened on the front lines" news (ofc without any sources, just like twitter).
Bottom line is you DONT need twitter if your only want is "i want rumours called news the minute something happens"
No, with these limited elements. The filter may just be "of course I will not provide my (free) service to people that may use it in what I call a repugnant way".
When you know Harry is a rogue CEO, say a misinformation spreader or the issuer of unethical products, and you refuse to work for it, to provide it your services: does that make you an "activist"? Many people will call it "just the normal right thing to do". This is similar to people here calling certain positions "centrist" or "extremist" - and that entirely depends on how those positions are interpreted beyond their dumb (not telling) label, and on the dumb labels over said labels.
As I understand it, the killer app is llms. You could run MACs directly in RAM, offloading a lot of work from CPU and cutting down on insane (external) memory bandwidth required.
Imagine (this is a fantasy pitch but sort of accurate for some use cases) wanting to run a larger llm and all you have to do is buy more RAM so it fits.
Would that not be true of them as well if an adversary wanted to target those bases? If US can’t shoot down incoming threats in the Middle East - what makes them able to do it in mainland US? It is the same defence systems.
There are several sites out there trying to help explain PPWR and they all say the same thing: the one that brings the package to an EU state market must do EPR registration in that EU state.
If you sell directly to consumers from a web shop, that is you.
Build it, and they will come ;)
