Judge dismisses majority of GitHub Copilot copyright claims
  • Really good point about the AI context. I really hadn't considered how it would leak over into potentially corroding support for fair use.

  • Huh. Thanks for explaining. I certainly find that surprising, but I definitely don't have enough experience with this community to know the shape of its members' feelings on copyright or fair use.

    Thanks.

  • I'd imagine the opposite. I'd be astonished if many programmers who use Lemmy would disagree with Alsup's ruling that "So long as the specific code used to implement a method is different, anyone is free under the Copyright Act to write his or her own code to carry out exactly the same function or specification of any methods used in the Java API. It does not matter that the declaration or method header lines are identical."

    I think you misread the tone of my comment. I can name one. And point out one more potential candidate. I'd say that supports your position.

    Also, I'm not sure how that constitutes cherry-picking, as for me that particular word choice implies a lack of good-faith reasoning. Regardless, I greatly appreciate your tone and consideration as well as your thoughtful points. Good discussion!

  • Judge William Alsup. Um, now ask me to name another.

    Biden or Harris could do the US a favor and name, say, Shayon Ghosh to the federal bench. He's not quite as qualified as Alsup: whilst he's also from Jackson, MS, he strangely chose to go to Carnegie Mellon over Alsup's choice of Mississippi State.

    What is your favorite YouTube channels?
  • A couple that I haven't seen yet: Foolish Baseball for a zillenial take on baseball, Hagerty, Throttle House and savagegeese for quality car YouTube and Scott Manley, BPS Space and Vintage Space for some good rocket science and history, and languagejones and Dr. Geoff Lindsey for linguistics.

  • Much of that sounds all too familiar. It sucks, but it does get better. Have you run across Dr. Ramani on YouTube? She put a lot of what experienced with my ex in context.

    I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot repeat history exactly. However, I can rhyme with it.

    MLS 2024 predictions: Can anyone stop Lionel Messi and Inter Miami?
  • There will be Messi magic, but InterMiami is top heavy and also going to weak in regaining possession when behind. The RBNY games will be telling in showing that they can build out well enough to compete for the shield.
