SoundCloud Changes Policies on Training AI with Artists’ Music Following Furious Backlash

@artificial-intelligence-Futurism They've destroyed trust. I deleted it all. My music will stay off of their platform forever. They didn't alert us, and proceeded to sic AI on all of our songs. All of them, for over a year. I was paying them for a frankly useless artist account. I paid them, month after month, during which time they abused MY trust to steal from me. And now they think people will believe anything they say?

Historical moments. I hope Trump brings lasting peace and wealth with all our partners. We never get a chance to finish anything, it seems. We have to get past poverty in this country. It breeds contempt, and Arab countries don't seem to have that problem.

The leftist press and their loyal dingbats are going to slam Qatar over and over.
Then Trump and the Emir will announce normalisation with Israel.
Then the same will happen with Syria.
Then the biggie behind them all, Iran.
And the press will be left behind the peacemakers, still bitching about the 747!
There’s my prediction for the day.

I have 2 months to make a TempleOS game.

Hello,
I just found out about TLP - a module to download with apt, which is a good utility for maintaining the laptop battery.
You can set a minimum charge value, and a maximum charge value.
But it is not sufficient for my use case.
My question is - is there any utility I can use to discharge the battery WHILE connected to AC?
The reason behind this is:
I want to use the solar power during the day to charge up the battery to 80 or 90% and then discharge the battery in the evening to 15-20%. Afterwards use AC power again.
The solar energy during mid-day is cheaper and available in abundance.
On a big level with many computers this could make a good impact on the energy network, or am I wrong?
That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.
Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.

Somebody is going to #hack these #AI companies so bad.
They absolutely are not even thinking about #InformationSecurity or #CyberSecurity. At. All. No startup does. Hell, even cyber security startups rarely think about their own cyber security. And when it happens it's going to be a shit-show like none we've ever seen or imagined.
Imagine your entire Company's IP is now tied up in processes that not only do you not fully control but that you don't fully understand either.
And something similar to the Great Irish Potato Famine comes along and wipes everything out.
Heh.
Yeah. Good luck.
It's not a matter of if something like that will happen, but when, and at the rate some of these Companies are going, when might get here sooner rather than later.

🇮🇱🇵🇸💥 28 morts d'un coup : la frappe massive d' #Israël contre l'hôpital européen de #Gaza à été dévastatrice
Dans la soirée du 13 mai, les forces israéliennes ont attaqué l'hôpital européen de #KhanYounis, dans la bande de Gaza.
Selon Al Jazeera, au moins 28 personnes ont été tuées. Parmi elles se trouvent des patients et du personnel médical. Les frappes ont touché directement le bâtiment de l’hôpital, provoquant une indignation considérable au sein de la communauté internationale.
🇮🇱 L'armée israélienne affirme avoir frappé un centre de commandement et de contrôle du Hamas, qui aurait été caché sous l’hôpital.
Le ministère israélien a déclaré avoir attaqué l'installation dans le cadre de la lutte contre les terroristes, mais n'a pas précisé dans quelle mesure l'attaque contre les infrastructures civiles était justifiée.
L'hôpital européen de Gaza est un hôpital public palestinien fondé par l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour le Proche-Orient ( #UNRWA) en 1989 avec une subvention de l'UE. L’hôpital fournit depuis longtemps des soins médicaux aux réfugiés palestiniens et aux habitants de la région souffrant de la guerre et du blocus.
