Not sure about the memory transfer bottleneck and potential mitigations. But out of interest, how insurmountable would it be to 'retool' fastplotlib to use JAX acceleration instead of wgpu?

> AFAIK Hardware jailbreaking/homebrew tools are fine even in jurisdictions blighted with with DMCA unless they're specifically for circumventing DRM.

Certain Japanese video-game companies would take issue with that interpretation of facts. Of course there is the arbitrary distinction between 'access' and 'copy' control mechanisms. Something arguably made irrelevant by the further integration of general concepts from personal-computing into certain video-game systems.

> Granted, this was a university project so we clearly were within the academic context, but we were in no way affiliated with a too big to sue company.

And how is the situation with desktop clients? Last I saw the situation was not exactly great.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that a challenge of the DMCA has not reached the Supreme Court in over 25 years of its existence.

Claming injury to a third-party who hosted information (did they host binaries?) of a tool at issue seems like a novel legal theory to me. Best of luck to them.

> If you think that the Internet Archive is their own worst enemy and anyone who thinks differently is wrong, then you don't actually support the work of The Internet Archive. Sure, you may like parts of it. But you oppose its core mission.

This is where I stand.

One can support the mission of the Internet Archive (in archiving the public internet) and still express concern over more legally questionable ventures that may threaten their existence (e.g digitising and redistributing owned copies of books) and may be more of a challenge being justified under the first-sale doctrine.
