Someone just got the AWS bill.

Considering other patent laws in Japan, I definitely agree with you.

Especially when companies like Nintendo are somehow able to patent video game mechanics for something as ridiculous as riding on a flying creature.

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.

Here’s an open letter to the Organic Maps Shareholders with the most info:
https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-04-16/1/

Which is referenced in the article here:
https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

And discussed on the OpenSource community here:
https://lemmy.world/post/30461779

Basically some drama went down between the devs.

• Organic Maps has remained an LLC instead of transitioning to a Nonprofit.
  • The projects finances have not been made public (they’re not required as an LLC) and there are concerns about how that money is being used.
• There was a decision made to include Kayak affiliate links in the app: https://web.archive.org/web/20250602163403/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/6523
• The current board only consists of 3 people: Roman (@rtsisyk), Viktor (@vng), and Alexander (@biodranik). Major decisions can’t be made if only 1 person objects.
• The code for their map download service was closed sourced when an MIT license was removed and there were concerns about Organic Maps keeping in line with its open source values: https://web.archive.org/web/20250523094656/https://github.com/orgs/organicmaps/discussions/9837#discussioncomment-11569196
  • When these concerns were raised, Alexander (@biodranik) revoked Roman’s (@rtsisyk) access https://web.archive.org/web/20250427142515/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/9860
  • The situation was resolved about a week later with the code for the map download service becoming public and With Roman’s access being restored.

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

Then there’s also the download then upload into the comment approach:

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.

Yeah, they definitely should focus on adding more RAM to their flagship phones, but smaller models are ideal for smartphones.

Smaller models are quicker to run and use up less battery. Besides, if they’re using some AI models I would rather it be run locally than have my data uploaded to some server somewhere (big assumption that they wouldn’t do that anyway, I know)… Or at the very least I can still run it even if the network goes down.

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 had the same problem, but I found that turning up the advanced Parameter Values in the Text Prediction settings helps to keep everything spelled correctly. I’m currently at 10.4 for the transformer strength and 8.3 for the autocorrect threshold and I’m noticing a lot less issues… I haven’t tested out turning it up all the way yet.

I also have the Transformer fine tuning enabled.

The swipe feature definitely needs some attention.

They do have a crowdsourced way of helping to improve their swipe prediction, more info on the link here: https://swipe.futo.org/

You’ll notice that even the swipe prediction for Heliboard comes from a closed source library.

Futo has been my favorite so far compared to other keyboards. I haven’t used Heliboard yet, but it also looks like a good option.

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

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.

  • (1) $250,000; or

• © 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
