If that’s not a “We beat Medicare” moment I don’t know what one is.

Nothing really.
Until you actually have the money, you kinda can’t do anything different.

Maybe if it was a sure thing you could take a loan out against it. But in this case it’s not a sure thing.

I did. Court would be a coin toss. They’ll settle.

Can’t say this enough!

The personal carbon footprint idea was created by the fossil fuel industry to shift the burden off the producers, onto the consumers. It’s a scam.

Your individual climate actions are practically meaningless. Your political activism to demand industrial action is where people need to focus their climate concerns.

I hadn’t thought of that. It’s a compelling point.
You should really become a litigator.

The band should not get to lay claim all these different interpretations from their name alone.

Which is exactly what they’re NOT doing. They had a name that was working for them for 25 years. They never sued anyone over using that name, because none of the other uses caused any problem for them. But now one has. When trying to find and identify a band named demon hunters, there is confusion with the movie. People can’t find the actual band any more. It’s only right for Netflix to compensate them for that harm.

I’m sure they’ll settle out of court, and come up with a new band name.
Demon Slayers sounds obvious to me. Or maybe The First Demon Hunters.

Absolutely agree. They shouldn’t be able to go after every use of demon hunters. And they aren’t. They’re only going after the one that’s caused actual demonstrable damage to the use of their trademark.

The thing they have to fight though is that when you register for a trademark, it doesn’t apply to every sector.

Absolutely true! Which is why it’s good that they’re both in the entertainment sector.
And I’m sure it’s a non zero percentage of people who do think the fictional band is called Demon Hunters. But that may not even matter. There is a lot of overlap, being both in entertainment, and about music and bands etc. Hell, both are even about actual demons! This is a Christian metal band after all.

Netflix is the distributor. They do approve the title it’s sold under.

It’s not about the search rankings directly, that’s just a signal of the effect of the trademark dilution for the band. It’s proof of the damage.

They actually have a decent case here.

They’ve been a band with a trademarked name for 25 years. Netflix used that same name as part if the movie title. The band can show measurable harm to their trademarked brand, by citing Google search results for Demon Hunter.

I can’t imagine Netflix would change the name of the movie, but paying the band for the damage to their trademark, and compensation for having to rebrand and trademark a new band name is a reasonable cost of success for Netflix.

In short, it isn’t very Oniony

Let me rephrase.
There are Americans who don’t know New Mexico is a state.

Most I expect, don’t know that Real Mexico has 31 states.

There are people Americans who don’t know New Mexico is a state.

I’d be more curious what percentage are reporters that feel they need accounts

I think the Jedi were incredibly stupid in Episodes 1, 2, 3.
They had a prophecy about one to bring Balance in a time when the Jedi were unquestionably dominant. Well Balance during that time, would obviously require the Jedi to be taken down. Anakin was that balance. The Jedi order was destroyed and the Sith began their period of domination. Creating Balance.

The next obvious story for Episodes 7, 8, 9, would have been a the creation of a new order, neither Jedi or Sith, that fostered Balance within each member. That’s where Rian Johnson was going with Ep. 8. But the idiot Glass Union came back and shat the bed trying desperately to unravel all that. He decided to go back to the same old thing all over again.

Veritasium short

Probably. Is it 38, 35, or 40% faster? That may be debatable.
But, yah. It’s absolutely faster than Apple silicon in general.

They all have better production quality. Most keep the same story with minor alterations. A few make real story improvement or expansion.

Oh! I didn’t realize you were talking about two different things. LLMs are still machines. Now I get it.

Yah I would expect since LLMs do a much better job, the older methods are going to slowly disappear.

I don’t understand.
