I want to thank my father for giving in and purchasing Fable for me when it hit the shelves. Fable II was my favourite, a fantastic game.
Some assorted reading:

EDIT: didn't mention Archillect either. Extremely low value article.
EDIT2: finished reading, and no mention at all about Section 230 protections despite discussing "tech platforms", and a single reference to "fair use" being referenced in a callout box. Whoever wrote this should be embarassed by how little they say with so many words.
You namedrop three(?) artists and insinuate something about two legal frameworks - but provides no arguments or context why they should've been a natural inclusion in the article or how your critique relates to it.
Is that.. yes, a low value comment.
> The AFM pre-training dataset consists of a diverse dataset consists of a diverse and high quality data mixture. This includes data we have licensed from publishers, curated publicly-available or open-sourced datasets, and publicly available information crawled by our web-crawler, Applebot. We respect the right of webpages to opt out of being crawled by Applebot, using standard robots.txt directives.
The fact that you can opt-out in robots.txt only if you knew to list Applebot months (years?) ago when they started crawling is a little unimpressive.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
And possibly allow-list the ones you accept. This probably won't change the fact that you may allow a vendor at one point in time, only to realise they changed their crawling use case and has been scraping data for AI training for the past 6 months (before they go public about it).It can be argued that if you are a server operator, you always know which User-agents are making requests to your resources.

"You're likely to stay in the social class you were born into" - is basically what the predictor means.
> The Finnish Santa Claus has also been greatly influenced by his American colleague. However, the Finnish Santa Claus visits children in person and gives them presents, whereas the American Santa Claus can only be seen in department stores. These personal visits to children’s homes are the most Finnish aspect of our Santa Claus, and it comes from the St Knut Day’s nuuttipukkis. https://wiki.aineetonkulttuuriperinto.fi/wiki/Santa_Claus_tr...
It's where I'm from as well, and as a young kid, me and friends would visit the houses in the village at the date mentioned, and receive candy (or else!). It's very similar to the trick or treat tradition during Halloween.
Spotify will only repeat a song during shuffle if you also activate repeat. It will also repeat a song if you actually added the song twice or more to said playlist. You can try it out by shuffling a playlist+deactivate repeat then check which songs have been queued from start to finish.
Smart Shuffle -despite the name- is more a playlist function than a shuffle function. It's like the Radio playlists but with the songs interspersed temporarily in your own playlist. Note that these songs were not already in your playlist - so they do not repeat unless you activate repeat.
Data streams are converted into a sequence of objects that are required to have and satisfy certain formally verifiable properties as a pre-condition of forwarding. Any data or objects that cannot satisfy formal analysis requirements are dropped. Forwarding policies are only applied to objects that meet the prerequisite of being rigorously analyzable.
This behavior is bidirectional. It applies equally to data egress to mitigate internal threats and accidental data leakage. The internal mechanics can be pretty complicated and they necessarily operate on a store-and-forward basis. The data objects may be “laundered” by the firewall, what you send may not be exactly what the other side receives.
To make this work, the wire protocol, data representation, etc must be designed specifically to allow this kind of rigorous analysis and work well within these constraints. It usually won’t work on a random web stream and the data representation often sacrifices efficiency of storage for efficiency of verification and analysis at runtime.
In reality, virtually no one uses this type of tech outside of defense and intelligence because it won’t let almost any of the standard web stack slop through.
