To anyone who is reading this comment without reading through the article. This ruling doesn’t mean that it’s okay to pirate for building a model. Anthropic will still need to go through trial for that:

But he rejected Anthropic’s request to dismiss the case, ruling the firm would have to stand trial over its use of pirated copies to build its library of material.

From the Grayjay FAQ:

Does Grayjay require a subscription?

No, We offer a way to pay for the app once. The app will function identically without paying.

Yeah that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Announcement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:

A deeper dive on the case here:

Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the “Video” section.

Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can’t afford to do so.

Thanks! This will definitely help me to remember it from now on.

It’s not an easy answer, but the best way I’ve found so far is to use GrayJay.

If I find that one of the content creators I follow on YouTube happen to post their content on any other platform, I switch my subscription to that platform.

Besides YouTube they support Nebula, Twitch, Odysee, PeerTube, Dailymotion, Bitchute, Kick, BiliBili, Rumble, Patreon, and more.

I doubt it would work well, but with enough training data it would be able to pick up on some areas. Especially if there are large landmarks in the frame (mountains/hills/rivers, etc.).

One interesting alternative would be the Visual Positioning System (VPS) that Niantic has built from Pokemon go player data. Basically you can take a picture outside and your phone will know exactly where you are:

Too bad they’re getting close to being bought out by a company that’s notorious for squeezing out every penny from their player base.

Edit: Correction, Pokemon Go is being bought from Niantic… The company itself is not being bought.

I looked into this a bit more and here’s a quick video of someone testing out the demo that they have online:

That’s just what Apple wants you to think:

Had to lookup the penalties since this document just pointed somewhere else:

(a) In General.–Section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1705) is amended to read as follows:

SEC. 206. PENALTIES.

• (a) Unlawful Acts.–It shall be unlawful for a person to violate, attempt to violate, conspire to violate, or cause a violation of any license, order, regulation, or prohibition issued under this title.
• (b) Civil Penalty.–A civil penalty may be imposed on any person who commits an unlawful act described in subsection (a) in an amount not to exceed the greater of–
  • (1) $250,000; or
  • (2) an amount that is twice the amount of the transaction that is the basis of the violation with respect to which the penalty is imposed.
• © Criminal Penalty.–A person who willfully commits, willfully attempts to commit, or willfully conspires to commit, or aids or abets in the commission of, an unlawful act described in subsection (a) shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than $1,000,000, or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both.‘’.

Looks like the client app is open source: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app

It’s already available for anyone to use. https://github.com/openai/whisper

They’re using OpenAI’s Whisper model for this: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/merge_requests/5155

I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet

Hey, it actually stopped without plowing on very far at all. That’s better than what I expected to happen.

For the specs of what it is and what else is out there, it’s actually a really good price.

People like to compare it to the cheapest headsets out there, but it has specs that beat the highest end headsets out there and it’s cheaper than those.

When the Apple Vision pro came out, the closest device sporting similar specs would be the Varjo XR-3 which was only available to Enterprise users. It cost $7k plus a $1500 yearly subscription, plus you needed a powerful computer to run it.

Basically, hardware wise, it’s good, but for it’s actual uses it’s not worth the $3500.

Not a stupid question.

There’s a section near the bottom about how to install and you’ll also want to read through the documentation on how to use it.

What’s not in the instructions: First, you’ll need to have Python installed, then you’ll be able to execute that command to download/install the module.

At a quick glance, this is some software that you install on a computer, then you connect your phone to it and execute the command to perform a scan.

You’ll want to get comfortable with using a terminal window or PowerShell/CMD prompt, etc.

You may need to look up some commands on how to change your directory to the root directory of the phone before executing any scans.

Personally, I downvoted this because it’s a community for technology related news and I just don’t think it fits the kind of content that we should be seeing here.
