The javelin was officially redesigned in 1986 to limit its distance to keep it in the field, and to ensure it doesn't land flat. They are likely only counting post-redesign throws.

The consultancy I used to work for in the late 90s would have crucified any developer that didn't write "a data abstraction layer that allows you to pop off the original db and substitute a different one later".
How many times in my 25 year career have I swapped out the database (and been thankful for such an abstraction layer)? 0 times.
That the "demon core"? If so, don't remove the keychain.
I see they packed the dirty flag and old American milk jug for the photo op.
Didn't Vance respond with something like "I've never had sex to completion with a couch" - or was that bullshit?
Agree for these reasons:
-
Legally: It's always been legal (in the US at least) to relay the ideas in a copywrited work. AI might need to get better at providing a bibliography, but that's likely a courtesy more than a legal requirement.
-
Culturally: Access to knowledge should be free. It's one of the reasons public libraries exist. If AI can help people gain knowledge more quickly and completely, it's just the next evolution of the same idea.
-
Also Culturally: Think about what's out on the internet. Millions of recipes, no doubt copied from someone else, with pages of bullshit about how the author "grew up on a farm that produced Mohitos". For decades now, "content creators" have gotten paid for millions of low quality bullshit click bait articles. There's that. Most of the real "knowledge" on the internet is freely accessible technical / product documentation, forum posts like StackOverflow, and scientific studies. All of it is stuff the authors would probably love to have out there and freely accessible. Sure, some accidental copywrite infringement might happen here and there, but I think it's a tiny problem in relation to the value that AI might bring society.
Still sickening that nearly 48,000 people liked her rhetoric.
No way I'm taking bribes from "Big Antifa"!
"The Projects" is a term used to describe government provided (or subsidized) housing for poor people. The term is generally used to indicate "a place in a city where income is low and crime is usually high".
