The issue with this definition is that it’s overly broad. For instance, a hash of a picture could not exist without that picture. Nor do certain downscalings, like 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4. There must be an exact pixel value you can legally downscale any image to without violating copyright. Similarly, there is a point where creating a book’s synopsis starts violating copyright and where a song sounds too similar to another one.

And based on their size, LLMs - in my opinion - cannot possibly violate copyright for their source material because they couldn’t possibly store more than a couple of bits per work. Only works that occue frequently in the training data can actually be somewhat reproduced by LLMs.

By the way, fair use doesn’t even exist in every - including my - jurisdiction.

This has lead to people being successfully sued for copyright infringement because they posted pictures of their home online that contained a copyrighted wallpaper in the background.

What is a derivative work though? That’s again extremely vague and has been subject to countless lawsuits seeking to determine the bounds.

Am I allowed to take a copyrighted image, decrease its size to 1x1 pixels and publish it? What about 2x2?

It’s very much not clear when a modification violates copyright because copyright is extremely vague to begin with.

To be fair, I haven’t heard of that song.

My sole intention was to show how shitty London Bridge looks, the comic’s bridge reminds me more of Tower Bridge (due to the towers on the bridge).

That’s not London Bridge.

This is:

And the worst part is: The murderer achieves every goal they sought to.

Assuming an islamist motive, which is highly likely based on past attacks, there will be a significant increase in anti-Muslim discrimination. And islamists despise nothing more than Muslims successfully integrating into another society. After all, which cult does NOT prey upon vulnerable people and who is more vulnerable than someone experiencing constant discrimination?

ETA:

Turns out an islamist motive is highly unlikely, after other commenters pointed to an article that found the murderer shared anti-Muslim, far-right content online. Despite the tragedy, I’m genuinely relieved. This could’ve had devastating effects on the upcoming election.

“The Holocaust was nothing but a minor blemish on the glorious millenia of German history.”

Not far right at all.

If you can throw it out for one case you can throw it out for every case.

Unlike the US, most countries in the EU - including France - have a justice system that is not attempting to maximize recidivism, which is why maximum sentences exist for every crime except murder.

Furthermore, at least in Germany the constitutional court ruled that life sentences without the eligibility of parole violate human dignity as such sentences would take away all hope from prisoners which significantly harms them. I wouldn’t be surprised if France had similar rulings.

I thought the joke was that each distro has a descriptor that ends with -y with openSUSE’s descriptor being unexpected but still matching the pattern.

I read Saarland at first - the smallest German state (excluding city states) - and didn’t question it.

Might as well do it, they’ve got land in their name.

Fucking Mussolini was said to have made the trains run on time again.

Even if that were true, that doesn’t make him half decent.

Wouldn’t that be akin to adding new features? Adding support for previously unsupported (due to their lack of existance) hardware is a feature imo.

Besides, while a program may eventually be bug-free, no modern computer has flawless hardware so creating a large program without bugs will always remain a thought experiment.

The only possible reason to do it would be if an alien civilization were to demand producing such a program or else they’d destroy Earth (similar to Erdős’s thought experiment with finding Ramsey numbers). Perhaps with all of humanity’s resources and a few decades this could be done.

Absolutely, I was thinking more along the lines of focusing solely on bug-fixing.

Eventually: Yes.

There are a finite number of bugs (or bug types rather, you could have infinitely many bugs from the same few lines of code) and it will take finite time to fix them all. You cannot know when you have fixed all of them though. But some games have gone above and beyond with fixing bugs, like Factorio where you will not encounter bugs without explicitly looking for them.

No, because by definition criminals have already done an act such that their imprisonment is legal, if done by the state.

Imprisonment is a legal act of violence if and only if someone has committed a crime. CEOs, while immoral, do not necessarily break laws.

And yes, calling for a group of people to be imprisoned can fall under §130. Again, I am not a lawyer but there have been court decisions about this.

Finally, the fact that lemmy.world distributes content advocating for the killing of CEOs could likely fall under this paragraph because the death sentence itself violates human dignity already.

According to the 2nd highest court in Germany that can only be overruled by the constitutional court:

A section of the population - the only one to be considered in the present case - is a group of persons who are distinguishable from the rest of the population on the basis of common external or internal characteristics of a political, national, ethnic, racial, religious, ideological, social, economic, professional or other nature, who are numerically of some significance and thus no longer individually distinguishable.

BGH 3 StR 602/14, decision from 2015-04-14

As a layman, CEOs seem to fit that definition due to their economic and professional characteristic.

Try Germany:

§111 (1) StGB:

Anyone who publicly, in a meeting or by disseminating content (Section 11 (3)) incites an unlawful act shall be punished as an instigator (Section 26).

§130 StGB:

(1) Anyone who, in a manner likely to disturb the public peace,

1. incites hatred against a national, racial, religious or ethnic group, against parts of the population or against an individual because of his membership of a designated group or part of the population, or incites violence or arbitrary measures, or
2. attacks the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously denigrating or defaming a designated group, parts of the population or an individual because of their membership of a designated group or part of the population, shall be liable to a custodial sentence of three months to five years.

(2) A custodial sentence not exceeding three years or a monetary penalty shall be imposed on anyone who

1. disseminates or makes available to the public content (Section 11 (3)) or offers, provides or makes available to a person under the age of eighteen content (Section 11 (3)) that a) incites hatred against a group referred to in paragraph 1 number 1, against sections of the population or against an individual because of his or her membership of a group referred to in paragraph 1 number 1 or of a section of the population, b) incites violence or arbitrary measures against persons or groups of persons referred to in letter a), or c) violates the human dignity of persons or groups of persons referred to in letter a) by insulting, maliciously denigrating or defaming them, or
2. produces, obtains, supplies, keeps in stock, offers, advertises or undertakes to import or export content referred to in number 1 letters a to c (§ 11 paragraph 3) in order to use it in the sense of number 1 or to enable another person to make such use of it.

I’m fairly certain CEOs could fall under the “designated group” label but I’m not a lawyer. If that is the case, lemmy.world can be held accountable for the spread of content promoting their death.

Sociopathic criminals aren’t to blame for how they are. They aren’t really in a position to change themselves nor have they decided to be this way.

Therefore the only punishment should be taking away their ability to harm others by limiting their freedom.

But if this is the sole punishment, I think hardly any would choose death. Why would they, if they could live a comfortable yet supervised and limited life? Key point is comfortable. That’s not what the vast majority of prisons are today which means allowing them to choose suicide is more or less a coerced death penalty if we’d just slap it onto the current system.

What shitty system even allows this to happen? It’s not like the microchip in credit cards that allows for secure transactions is particularly expensive.

Small addendum because I looked it up:

Apparently checks aren’t the only ancient aspect of the US banking system. Chip cards have apparently only come around in the past few years, prior they used the insecure magnetic strip cards that can literally just be copied.

They should call it GNU^Linux instead
