Then just make it the rule that the copyright expires after 30 years or when the author dies, whichever comes last.

Slightly off topic, but is anyone aware of a compile free method to convert protobuf messages to json representation based on a provided .proto file (and the other way around)? All protobuf implementations seem to require a compilation step, which makes it hard to support en-/decoding untrusted content using user provided schemas

I'm getting around 45 tps on a single r9700 for Q6 27B with build b9811 ( using https://github.com/kyuz0/amd-r9700-ai-toolboxes ) with the following parameters:

llama-server -hf unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF:Q6_K -c 135000 -ngl 999 -np 2 -t 16 --temp 0.0 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0.00 -b 4096 -ub 4096 --chat-template-kwargs '{"preserve_thinking": true}' -fa 1 --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 2

In the Netherlands it doesn’t quite work like that in reality. There’s a whole bunch of laws that refer to norms indirectly. In theory you could meet requirements without them but in practice it is absolutely impossible.

I'd say the entire market loses out on insider trading except for the two parties involved in the insider trade. The insider trades take away a part of the profit margin that other good faith future providers need to justify the risk they take on by offering the futures. This leads to future providers needing to raise the prices of futures to remain profitable.

would it be possible to use a heat pump to increase the temperature to a more efficient range? Or would all of the efficiency gained be lost by operating the heat pump?

In the bigger picture this kind of behaviour would destroy the market for innovative tech. Why would anyone still invest in making something innovative if your work gets taken away from you the moment you become successful?

Is this anecdotal or based on widespread publicly available evidence? Not meant as an accusation, but it’s the first time I’m hearing this and it’s slightly alarming

How ironic would it be if we doomed ourselves to a bad AI overlord by feeding it dark sci-fi that causes the AI to self identify with the AI in those stories

You could argue that there is more economic incentive to invent new things as discoveries are worth more if you alone have the right to use them. This in turn could lead to more investments in research that lead to more inventions that increase disruption.

For me it's because ownership should mean true ownership, just like how you should be allowed to repair your own devices if you want.

Considering the crypto itself does not produce anything of value I´d be surprised if it would continue to outperform the stock market as crypto starts to stabilise. Maybe it could be used to be a little more resistant to inflation than with regular cash, but wouldn´t make any sense to me if the value of crypto would consistently grow to a bigger percentage of all wealth on earth.
