The only reason you get to keep the book is because no bothers to enforce the law, this doesn't make it legal.

And it is your job to check that you have the rights to use other people's work. Ignorance is not a defence.


>the law

Which ones? As far as I was aware, it's a crime to redistribute copyrighted works, not receive.


Copyright act 1968. Sect 116.

Australia doesn't have fair use either. Who cares what a country smaller than California in population and economy does?

It's not just throwing QA out, they are actively striving for lower quality because it saves money.

They're chasing that sweet cost reduction by making cheap steel without regard for what it'll be used for in the future.


> What's funny? Do you think the investors are against this? The investor's aren't idiots.

Any proof of that?


More than 70% of voting shares supported the package, very close to the level of support in the original 2018 vote. This excludes Musks share.

And consider that this is retroactive, meaning it's backpay. They're literally voting to give the guy $50b for work performed. He has a lot of confidence from his investors. And if there were issues, there would be lawsuits. Ironically the only lawsuits that get brought up, like the one about the pay package, are basically trolls, from a guy that had 9 shares.

Besides the parent is the one making a claim that something not above board is going on so burden of proof is on him.

Finally, it's a private company where Musk is the majority shareholder. He's moving money from one pocket into another, and any moves will be reflected in his attempt to raise money with the IPO coming this year.

Why do people online pretend not to understand?


Nothing in your argument is proof that the investors aren't idiots.


I can't imagine the world view you would have to hold to think that people who manage to command tens of billions of dollars to invest are idiots, just tripped over the money and just go off vibes.


All the bubbles over history ought to be enough to give anyone that worldview.


> We are primarily seeking individuals with the strong drive and leadership qualities necessary to take a product from its nascent stage (“zero to one”) to a successful market entry.

> Individuals who enjoy vibe coding to bring their ideas to life.

... Good luck to them. And well done to anyone to manages to score 19k a month to vibe code some garbage.


Yeah since the Windows 11 2023h2 update.


Yes because the act of "moving them up the stack" could have the opportunity cost of preventing real change that would actually improve health outcomes.

AI could allow the whole system to kick the can down the road.


It's almost never a good idea to go for a technology fix when there are other obvious defects that could be addressed.


It doesn't because the enterprise group policy doesn't which is what this sets.

Mozilla decided to give businesses the ability to turn off generative AI features about 6 months ago.


> It is an incredible accelerant in top-down 'theory driven' learning

Is it? People claim this but I really haven't seen any proof that it is true.


Yes, of course, famously no ambiguity in the constitution.


If you're not being deceitful and seeking to violate people's rights for your own purposes (i.e. a politician or someone in that orbit) it's pretty clear.

Like "papers and effect", "shall make no law", stuff like that's pretty hard to screw up if you're not trying.


Gabriels Horn for another example.

Doesnt seem that uncommon.


Gabriel's horn is the same phenomenon one dimension up: finite surface area but infinite volume.


You mixed it up. The horn has infinite surface area but finite volume.


You're right. Thanks.
