YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog
  • I just read your list and it confirms mine.

    Small buffer AND can't skip ahead on a boring video because you can only get served the ads to unlock further video after time equal to the served video duration has passed.

    That is not YouTube, it's online TV and there will be an impact on the product. Preloading a video via a 3rd party client will still easily beat this scheme. Just get a headstart equal to the first ad break.

  • Sure if you fundamentally change what YouTube you can make it work.

    You need very small buffers or complete disablement of seeking even outside of ads. Otherwise a client can reconstruct the video without viewer interruption.

    People however expect to be able to skip ahead in YouTube videos, otherwise its just TV.

  • Eu to make Apple open up operating system to rival tech (link added forgot to include it this morning)
  • That's a lie.

    The original Sony feature did not give access to all the hardware and thus it was not possible to play ps3 games on it.

    Their ban actually motivated people to crack Sony's measures and install Linux with full access to the hardware.

  • JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms
  • What makes the US have more free speech?

    Legally all EU countries have freedom of expression enshrined in their constitutions.

    Culturally I find Americans blind to any non governmental censorship. Since it's legal its OK.I believe not allowing private companies to censor people is absurdly considered a violation of free speech.

    There are obvious results as well: the US is way less politically diverse.

  • Apple's A18 delivers solid performance gains, challenges Ryzen 9 9950X in single-core Geekbench
  • It doesn't really challenge the desktop CPU in multithreaded tests where the 170w are actually relevant.

    The test also includes AI tasks, the Apple chip seems to spend around 20% of real estate on that, the desktop CPU had none.

  • ‘The end of Schengen’: Germany’s new border controls put EU unity at risk | European Commission
  • There is no max alloted time, there is a max alloted time per decision but France has been chaining them back to back for years with no issues.

    I suppose if smaller countries tried to do the same they would be brought to heel via political measures.

  • "Generative" is not a thing in copyright law.

    You regard them as different to tools like Word. That does not exist in the law.

    When you originally posted that they OpenAI should be on the hook I thought you meant they were the ones commiting copyright infringement. Not that they would violate private contracts with their customers.

    Private agreements is not my business.

    There is however a push by both sides to settle this in law. Whatever happens will affect everyone.

  • Yes they do.

    Which is why you want an agreement to make them liable for copyright infringement (plagiarism is not a crime itself).

    You would have to pay for distributing copyright infringing material whether created by AI or humans or just straight up copied.

    I don't care if AI will be used,commercially or otherwise.

    I am worried about further limitations being placed upon the general public (not "creatives"/publishers/AI corps) either by reinterpretation of existing laws, amendment of existing laws or legislation of brand new rights (for copyright holders/creators, not the general public).

    I don't even care who wins, the "creatives" or tech/AI, just that we don't get further shafted.

  • You need a very specific prompt to make a copy. Even to just be similar enough you have to put the proper input and try a lot of repetitions.

    That's why the right holders are going after the training which included copying by the AI corpos.

    In your dream land right holders could just prompt the AI till it spit something close to their work and sue the AI corp for that. Repeat as needed ; infinite money glitch.

    Obviously it doesn't work that way.
