This looks pretty interesting from a laymans perspective. Can anyone with more in depth knowledge relate this to the current state-of-the-art auto regressive models? are diffusion models closing the gap in a meaningful way, or are they still in the experimental stage?
The court subtracted a fee for the artwork and for the display of the work, which he does not have to give back - so the artist did in fact get paid for his empty frame artwork. Now he just has to give back the money he lent for the originally agreed upon artwork that he did not create.
Seems like a fair deal, since he also got a ton of publicity out of it.
I wonder if this could be used to finally get universal audio streaming from the device, kind of like airplay. Perhaps using the received audio stream to create an internet radio station, which could then be played by most multiroom speakers, without needing specific support for each player app on the device.
Wow, this sounds like a really important decision. I wonder what Metas next line of defense will be, if any. The article says Meta can appeal, so I guess they will try that.
It will be interesting to see how many users will decline to opt-in to Personalized ads. Meta will probably still try a range of dark patterns to keep users from making that choice.
To avoid syncing my calendar and contacts to the cloud, I'm using wireguard as a always on VPN on my phone, to connect to a locally running CalDav/CardDav server. Wireguard on Android can be setup to only affect specific apps, so my DavX app is the only one using the VPN.

Runs on my odroid board with 26mb memory. The documentation is particularly good. I've used it as a replacement for the Synology CalDav and CardDav services.
It's very easy to install and does not require a DB. As a bonus, it stores everything as files which can be read and edited manually. It does require python.
I had played with it for 2 days before I gave up. I don't remember what specifically wasn't working properly but it didn't. Even if I had gotten it to work, syncing between a Windows PC and Android device should not require that level of effort.
Thunderbird mobile will be open source, so they, or anybody else can fork it, and continue development independently of Mozilla, using a different brand. It will not be "Mozilla property".
I'm happy to support Thunderbird; it's great to see a healthy project supported by donations.
It would be pretty great if Firefox development could be supported by direct donations too. Although maintaining a browser is probably orders of magnutide more expensive than Thunderbird.
