Knoxville News-Sentinel: Why the University of Tennessee is suing Claude AI creator Anthropic. “The University of Tennessee System’s nonprofit research arm is suing Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company it says violated two UT patents related to neural networks inspired by the human brain.”

🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial

O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.

💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?

🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.

🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.

🔍 Clarificare importantă:
• Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
• NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.

Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

#Patent publications by European alternative #protein innovators increased by 960% since 2015, but important areas (e.g. #plantbreeding of better protein crops to provide raw ingredients for #plantbased products) remain neglected.

#Patents and #copyrights were never intended to “prevent people from stealing” or create perpetual ownership. It was intended to incentivize inventions that served the public good by providing inventors with a limited window of exclusivity as a reward for developing a concrete implementation of something innovative before it became freely available to the creative commons. It has become a toll-gate and a means of profiteering, but rewarding contributions to the commons was the real reason that #intellectual_property laws were created.

A short-term limited monopoly to encourage innovation is not the same thing as long-term stifling of competition. Innovation should be encouraged, but patents and copyrights today encourage #patent_trolling and #submarine_patents, create long-term barriers to entry, and impoverish the commons in ways that are rarely "short-term" or "limited."

#Stratasys uses 10 patents, two of them orginally from #Makerbot (anyone remember?) to sue #Bambulab in two separate US court cases. Patent infringement claimed on using a heated bed, using a purge tower, force detection etc. Seems to me that Stratasys is patent trolling really hard ATM. https://www.tomshardware.com/3d-printing/3d-printer-maker-bambu-lab-faces-patent-infringement-lawsuits-that-could-threaten-hobbyist-3d-printing-in-general

@thearcanecomposer sure - it all started with a presidential candidate #RonaldReagan receiving a very large contribution from a company named #Microsoft producing an operating system. In return he enacted software #patents that caused widespread #monoculture known to be vulnerable to #SinglePointOfFailure. To protect the fragile system another company named #CrowdStrike #CRWD created monitoring software that was deployed to all endpoints across the world, running with administrative permission, collecting all signals to a centralized database.

One day said company made a silly mistake, that only affected this particular operating system's ability to boot. For a brief moment the western world shut down. Politicians across the world were appalled by the incompetence of people in #InformationTechnology but concluded there was nothing to do about it.

If #Russia went back on the long-held ban of #RoundUp (#soy and #canola), would #Bayer (#Germany) even sell the seeds to them. Due to #sanctions we are unsure. Are #bioTech seeds considered “#food” and thus not included in sanctions?

We assume Russia will not reneg on their stance against #glyphosate (known carcinogen that also damages #gutFlora) but we’ve heard *nothing* about it.

Boosts appreciated. #askFedi
