A federal judge has ruled that Anthropic's use of copyrighted works to train AI is transformative and fair use.
An important caveat is that in this particular case, the authors conceded that "training LLMs did not result in any exact copies nor even infringing knockoffs of their works being provided to the public."
The ruling says authors are still free to sue in the future if they can prove those things happen.

Not going to lie, it's stories like this that make me scratch my head. This kid has been "referred" to the Juvenile Justice System 7 times already and the Judge released the kid while he awaits trial for an armed carjacking that resulted in one of the victims getting shot and wounded, and the kids' accomplice getting shot and killed.
Kids in and around Albuquerque know they can literally get away with murder because the Courts will simply let them go, free to car jack yet another person, or kill someone.

"...directly and indirectly, the war could cost Israel up to $20 billion"
"...the Israeli government is considering one of the three following measures to cover the widening budget deficit: cutting down on public spending on health and education, increasing taxes, or resorting to borrowing, which could bump up the public debt to national income ratio by over 75 percent"
How about US taxpayers money?

@prolrage From what I hear they've been losing TANKS and other armored vehicles in Gaza. Not only that, these tanks are being knocked out using locally produced antitank weapons from Gaza's obviously excellent local workshops.
Retaliating against civilians whether with firing squads or with carpet bombing is straight out of the Nazi playbook. Thus we know who the freedom fighters and who the Nazis are in this war.
Such IOF behavior as torturing unarmed prisoners with acid and cigarette butts won't stop Merkava tanks from having their turrets blown off, nor will it bring back the tank crews that seconds earlier were firing at tents full of civilians.

Al-Quds, Al-Qassam, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades launch coordinated attacks against Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younis as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation.
#Palestinian #resistance factions in #Gaza have announced multiple successful operations targeting Israeli vehicles in the Strip, confirming casualties among the Israeli Occupation Forces.
As part of the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, Palestinian resistance fighters persist in attacking Israeli forces operating inside the Gaza Strip, causing Israeli military casualties with both killed and wounded soldiers.
The Al-Quds Brigades also announced today that they had carried out a coordinated operation, beginning with the detonation of a minefield targeting Israeli military vehicles advancing in the Huda Square area east of Gaza City's #Shujaiya neighborhood, forcing soldiers and officers to take shelter in nearby houses.
The fighters then targeted the troops who had taken cover inside the houses, first with a guided missile, followed by an anti-fortification TBG shell. Afterwards, the fighters engaged Israeli soldiers in close-quarters combat using light and medium weapons, leaving casualties of both dead and wounded, according to a statement released by Al-Quds Brigades.

The Israeli military says five of its soldiers have been killed after Palestinian fighters detonated explosive devices during an operation in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoon area.
The Israeli military said the five soldiers, aged between 20 and 28, “fell during combat in the northern #Gaza Strip”, while 14 others sustained injuries – two of them “severely wounded”.
“What we understand is that the #Israeli soldiers were attacked, then the unit that tried to come to their rescue was also attacked, and then a third group of soldiers that tried to extract them was also attacked,” she said.
aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/8/fi…
In a statement published on Telegram on Tuesday, Abu Obeida added that the #war of attrition being waged by Resistance fighters across the Gaza Strip, from north to south, continues to inflict daily losses on the Israeli occupation.
"Our fighters launched their attack from the very ruins the occupation believed were devoid of life," Abu Obeida stated, adding, "The war of attrition our fighters are fighting across the entire Gaza Strip, from the North to the South, will continue to cost the enemy more losses by the day."

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops
A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”
“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.
“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”
In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.
“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.
McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.
In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.
Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.
ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.
ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.
Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

I barely dare try to articulate my feeble grasp/why I'm comfortable with it now. It's only come through just starting to understand, and personally experiencing, how the holy traditions of the church–baptism, liturgy, Eucharist, confession–combine to gently orient a soul towards God; and, at the same time, each person themselves chooses to maintain that orientation, even after being baptized at whatever age.

My poor kitty Lola. She still poops on the floor, which is semi-manageable now because I place puppy pads next to the litterbox. She also has blood in her urine. She's had 2 rounds of antibiotics and her culture is bacteria-free, so she has "idiopathic cystitis," ie no known cause. The vet suggests I give her Gabapentin to "manage stress," and I guess I'll try it, but I doubt the cause is "stress." I'm considering that the cats got Covid from me in 2023, when I was completely bed-bound for 4 weeks and sick for months, and that may be the source of their autoimmune disease too (they both have IBD) and complications. Which means, not much to be done. They're already both on prednisone for IBD, which shortens their lives all by itself. We (meaning my Mom, they're her cats too) have spent a lot of money on teats and treatments and vet visits, and some point need to stop and let the inevitable occur. My poor kitty.
Here's a pic of her cooling off on the floor under the ceiling fan yesterday.

McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.
Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.
ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.
ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.
Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing, and I'm so glad that I installed central air two years ago.
But if you are without central air, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:

i wonder what would prompt them to embrace other stores, maybe to extend there reach. guess we will figure it out unless that effort will get extinguished 
@MountainJay then there is St. Stephen's which remained Episcopal is woke. We went there too - they had a wonderful"Blessing of the Animals" event
The windows are clear - it's almost like being outside

Speaking of feeling like you're outside, we once visited the Crystal Cathedral in California. Though not my favorite kind of architecture, it was still impressive and a neat experience.
Singapore's business environment is structured, but compliance mistakes can lead to costly fines, especially for small companies. Many errors are avoidable with awareness and organization. Below are the top compliance pitfalls and how to sidestep them.
One of the most frequent mistakes is missing ACRA annual returns or IRAS tax filing deadlines. These are non-negotiable, and delays trigger penalties.
Annual returns are due within seven months of the financial year-end. Tax returns must be filed by November. Repeated misses can escalate to legal action. Track deadlines with reminders or use corporate secretarial services to stay compliant.
Every Singapore company must have a qualified company secretary within six months of incorporation. This role manages compliance tasks like filings, resolutions, and record updates.
Not appointing a secretary or using someone unqualified can lead to fines. Secretarial services can take on this role if your team is short on time or expertise.
Changes like new directors, address updates, or share issuances must be reported to ACRA, usually within 14 days. Failing to notify risks fines or director liability if records don't align with reality.
Report changes to your secretary or service provider promptly to maintain compliance.
Singapore law requires companies to keep records, including shareholder and director registers, meeting minutes, and resolutions. Startups often neglect this, thinking it's low priority. Missing records can complicate audits or funding rounds, and ACRA can issue penalties.
Designate someone to manage records or rely on secretarial services to keep them organized.
Private companies can avoid Annual General Meetings if they send financial statements to shareholders within five months of the financial year-end. If this doesn't happen, an AGM is mandatory. Misunderstanding this can lead to compliance issues.
Check your AGM obligations with your secretary annually to avoid errors.
A common myth is that companies without profit don't need to file tax returns. All companies, even dormant ones, must submit annual returns to IRAS. Skipping this can lead to fines or deregistration.
Consult an accountant or corporate secretarial services to ensure timely filings, including for zero-income returns.
Your company needs a Singapore address, accessible three hours daily on business days. An unsuitable address or failing to update it can result in missed notices and fines.
Corporate secretarial services often provide compliant registered address options for businesses without a physical office.
Handling compliance yourself may save money initially, but mistakes like wrong filings or missed deadlines are common without expertise. Correcting errors can be costly.
Secretarial services ensure compliance is done right, saving time and reducing risks.
Singapore's rules are straightforward but require diligence. Fines often come from minor oversights. Regularly check your filings and records, and consider corporate secretarial services for support.
Proactive compliance keeps your business safe from penalties.
Being in business in Singapore is associated with numerous roles, including legal and regulatory requirements of which companies must comply to remain legal.Entrust (Entrust Public Accounting)
