Maybe? My guess is once they started stuffing ads in people lost interest and left, so they had to do them up front?
I'd be okay with trailers being at the end. Which according to wikipedia is where the word originally came from. Would also like the alcohol ads to be dropped, but thats a general pet peeve.
Deep pockets in that their investors seem happy to pour money into a pit....
Oracle v Google went back and forth for the better part of a decade, with rulings on both sides. This is much the same, time will tell.
Anthropic has deep pockets, still got fined. Deep pockets also makes you are target.
The regional case isnt interesting because its regional. Regional courts get it wrong all the time, only for it to be overturned by higher courts. There is also the possibility that this court was known to be pro-authors or anti-big tech, and the case was brought there for that specific reason.
If it gets held up on appeal then that is much more interesting, but for now, its basically one judges opinion.
Dumb question, but have you ruled out the cable being bad or corrosion in the socket? Dropping to 100 is usually something bad with the cable.
Ive never tried them tbh, have you? Do they work for code?
It could always be higher, but what percentage would you actually be happy with? Most civil fines are well under a percent, they are definitely a penalty.
The way I look at it, nvidias nemotron division isnt bring in anything close to $1.5B by itself. If they get hit with $1.5B fine for copyright infringement, the nemotron division takes a huge loss, which the rest of the company has to pick up the tab for. That isn't going to make investors happy, and they would be out for blood. It would impact earns and may cause actual damage to their valuation. (Whether its enough is unknown, the market makes no fucking sense at the best of times). If I lost 1% of my companies profit I'd lose my job. Its enough of a deterrent that the people involved should be paying attention.
On the other hand, Anthropic is playing with magical funny money, so $1.5B really doesnt matter at all to them. And they don't answer to investors, because they think they're build god.....
True, but as per the anthropic settlement linked in another comment, the penalties are pretty significant. 1.5B is a pretty reasonable fine against a 59B profit. Copyright still has some pretty significant teeth.
Its not like its antitrust law /j
There is no need to call me a sweet summer child.
I'm not terribly swayed by a Munich regional case, especially as its still under appeal.
The anthropic settlement definitely is a bit more meaningful though, although it does contradict the Munich one:
We reached this settlement in 2025, after the court's landmark ruling that training AI on books is fair use under copyright law
The basically settled because they stole the copies of books they used to train on. If they had just paid for a copy of the books they possibly would have been fine.
Nope, your uptime kuma speaks to it directly, and it basically acts as a signal client for you.
