I wonder if big companies will now start paying shadow libraries like annas archive for direct access, to minimize publicity of how training data was acquired, like Nvidia supposedly did?

Few tens of thousands of dollars is a rounding error in Meta's bottom line but if this case goes anything like the Anthropic one, I would see it likely.

Of course it wouldn't prevent authors from asking LLM's for content from their books and suing Meta again but I imagine authors would be less likely to with less evidence.


They already do....

Looks like SteamOS and the accompanying hardware are enough of a success that they're at least spending _some_ resources to try and figure out anticheat on Linux.

What can competitive games even do in the long run against cheating on Linux since cheaters can re-compile the kernel to hide away things like memory reads, mouse movement and rendering?

I also wonder if Apex Legends will re-enable Linux support in the near future to test this anticheat.


Tachiyomi[0] is a FOSS comic reader app for Android which has support for extensions to source comics from different sites which are unrelated to Tachiyomi

Tachiyomi already removed their extension list which contained both unofficial and official sources for comics[1]

There was a talk at 37c3 recently about UHD BluRay encryption[1] as well which is just more of the same "security" through obscurity

The together version found here https://nothing-together.sonnet.io/ is neat as well, you can play simple sounds to another person or a bell gong to everyone

One thing i found a bit distracting is the very obvious looping point of the background music


Finding high quality for older or non-english shows might be of some difficulty but they're quite common for shows and movies released for english audiences

This is just a guess but requiring Widevine L1 might be enough deterrence for some groups to wait for highest quality BluRay releases


It is! This video is a bit old now but it's still so unbelievable how easy it was for the speaker to "kill" people (in Australia)

In Finland you can go to any corner store to get a 300mbps 4G SIM or even 600 mbps 5G SIM and use it as your home internet in a LTE modem (which is very common)


I've looked into archiving all the pages i visit as well and warcprox[1] has been bookmarked for a while now

Hard drive storage space being so cheap in the ~$15/TB range makes this more feasible even for video archival

Excellent pointer with warcprox, I hadn’t seen it. I’m noticing mitmproxy, warcprox, webcrystal, and also obviously offpunk are all python.

It seems there should be some mashup of them all that can produce a solution. One that also involves using offpunk to access the archive in the terminal.

Mitmproxy caught my eye with transparent mode [1] and the idea that the client/user VM may not even need configuration in my setup, the vfio-pci GPU passthough desktop OS approach. The archiver VM produced archive/cache could just be NFS mounted over a private bridge interface between the desktop VM and archive VM.

You can now start accessing the raw cache with "netcache --offline". Or you can access it by hand: the cache is only made of files stored in folders.
