The difference is that Musk doesn't have the knowledge and skill to do it.

I found a nice and easy lemmy bug to fix, but someone beat me to it by 18 hours.
That type of bug is what is called "low hanging fruit". With lots of active contributors, such bugs will get fixed pretty quickly.

Valve Removes Games Using AI-Generated Art From Steam Due to Potential Copyright Issues
Reply in thread
A properly trained AI should not be able to do that. The data AI stores is not images or fragments of images. It's a set of weights for various attributes for each term. Like the concept of "cat" would be stored as the set of most common values for various attributes it analyzed and found to match on all training images labeled as "cat". With thousands of cat images as input, having proper variations between them, the result will always be unique.
It's the same as a child learning to draw. If they see a drawing of a cat, they might try to copy that as best they can. But if they see many different representations of a cat then they will also learn to express themselves creatively and make up their own variation. And nobody is going to sue the kid for having looked at copyrighted pictures of cats.

Op-ed: Why the great #TwitterMigration didn’t quite pan out
Reply in thread
Reddit migration will succeed for some communities and fail for others. Generic subs can live on with new mods and new subscribers. They're not much different from FB or Twitter. Just mindless content to feed that infinite scroll.
Specialized subs where the community as a whole (or a majority at least) decides to move to a new home will move (or have moved already), because for those the community is what matters, not the venue.

What Did People Do Before Smartphones?

Lol, I completely forgot about reading all the bathroom products while on the toilet. I had 3 sisters, so I knew all about how to use all kinds of feminine products.

The Lenna image.

This was the standard image I used for all image processing in college. It's like the teapot model in 3D modeling. Or "hello world" and "foo" and "bar" in programming. Or "lorem ipsum" in digital layout.

[I ate] Molten Lava Charcoal Bao in Hong Kong

No need to travel to Hong Kong. Plenty of places in San Francisco sell them and I assume many other dim sum places around the world.

r/TIHI has been banned for being unmoderated.

it’d have to be someone experienced with moderating sizable subs, probably
So someone who was using moderation tools provided by 3rd party apps?

Life Cycle Emissions: EVs vs. Combustion Engine Vehicles
Reply in thread
It's based on a use phase of 16 years and a distance of 240,000 km. That's a pretty conservative estimate of ~9300 mi/year.

The Lenna image.
Reply in thread
It's not like they planned to make it the standard test image. Just a bunch of guys working on something looking for a quick test image and grabbing the first thing they found.
Such a small section of the original image and at such low resolution would be pretty petty to shut down for copyright infringement. Especially since it was not used for profit, but for scientific research.

What streaming services do you pay for?
Just Netflix. Prime Video is included with Prime. Cancelled Disney+ when they announced a price hike because we weren't watching often enough to justify the price.

Google is preparing to kill Waze
Reply in thread
No they didn't. They show traffic info from Waze in Google Maps, but the navigation is still the old one, not the Waze one.
