I feel like your phone is good enough for all of those, and generally secure enough unless you're rooting/jailbreak it

The others frequently go into prod with rigorous review too, so that hasn't really changed between pre ai and today from my perspective.

This is becoming cyclical, did you forget what this comment chain went about?

The discussion went from tests being written by ai, to nobody actually reviewing the tests, to the claim that given those circumstances, you wouldn't notice that the tests may not tests anything anymore because of mocks.

My statement was merely pointing out that your previous comment was groundless because they still would've found out about those bugs when they went live.

You say that like that's not spread by NK

Haha, I have been building my own software factory exactly like that. I consider it the ultimate factory game- but I sure as fuck would not want that to be my dayjob... Though I'm aware it will likely be that in a few years when the industries in my nation normalize around that.

You seem to forget what tests are.

They're representative of scenarios which your application can enter.

So if the tests were mocked and a bug went live he'd still notice, after all it means your software behaved incorrectly and now you gotta clean up the pieces.

Does that matter if there literally aren't any spare parts to buy? That was kinda his point I feel like

Huh, but then it's neither remote nor zero click if you need to locally install malware?

Or did I misunderstand you and can you input any phone number to cause this issue? If so that would sound more like a carrier issue then a android issue to me

I don't think forcing majority stakeholders to sell their stocks over the years would have your proposed effect. The position of power here is mostly with the CEO of those companies. And that's not gonna change with this scheme.

Honestly, there isn't a clean solution to this problem- or at least none that doesn't come with unpredictable consequences. I think everyone can agree that companies growing too large inevitably become harmful for the society they're enabled by, but there are no previously established solution we can reach for... And every decision you can make will have trade-offs. Also, were pretty late game into free market capitalism. Any changes to the status quo will dis-/advantage someone, and they will utilize the tools available to them to stop you. So such deep cutting changes are beyond unlikely without first descending into complete chaos. Which would likely be worse for the majority of people...

Anthropics models wouldn't exist if they honored such promises. So yeah,

> The most common feedback on these posts is always "what did you expect?"

Is completely spot on. It's highly entertaining to me that some people can't wrap their head around that.

> Urheberrecht explicitly states, that downloading something is legal

Technically right with your phrasing, but wrong considering the context.

That exception is explicitly about the fact that eg pictures served on a website will be copied to the local cache and can still be shown without violating it. But besides that, nobody argued that the download itself was the license violation.

If Roblox only downloaded and then deleted it without using it in any way, they'd not have violated the license. Was that the point you were making? If so okay, that's true but from my perspective a pretty stupid view. Surely you're aware that they didn't?

Just to make sure I understand you right: the argument is that

Acteur a has a no permissive copyright

Acteur b has a non-commercial copyright on a model that infringes on a's non permissive copyright

Acteur c now can freely use it commercially, because b's copyright notice is invalid as it was never in a position to grant a permissive license

The stuff you learn on HN is truly breathtaking.

Thanks for clearing that up, that opens up a lot of avenues for future developments

Til you can download something without copying said something.

Wouldve been great to know for people that have been found guilty after downloading illegal and unlicensed content.

Fyi, the nation you mentioned (Germany) adheres to a much stricter concept called Urheberrecht. Under this regulation, you're actually in even more legal trouble. Though Roblox ain't German, so kinda irrelevant, admittedly

i see. as long as i can download Software that is made available for free for students its completely legal to do so and use them commercially as a non-student, after all its freely downloadable.

good thing you explained how copyright works legally, almost spend my money unnecessarily.
