Last month, President Joe Biden issued an executive order requiring the U.S. Roughly 500,000 copyrights registrations are issued, which provide protections for original works, ideas, concepts, art, music, and other works. The Copyright Office has roughly 440 employees tasked with examining hundreds of thousands of copyright registrations each year. The Copyright Alliance, which represents over 2 million copyright holders and over 15,000 organizations, said in a comment to the Copyright Office that other than online piracy, “no copyright issue has drawn more interest from the Copyright Alliance membership than generative AI.” “Overzealous Enforcement Of Copyright” “Almost all of these AI companies are ingesting copyrighted works in order to train their AI, and in most instances they are not licensing, they’re not getting the permission, and they’re not compensating the copyright owners for using those works,” Keith Kupferschmid, CEO of the Copyright Alliance told The Lever. The use of AI was a core concern during this year’s historic writers’ and actors’ strikes. The New York Times, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists ( SAG-AFTRA), the News Media Alliance, Getty Images, and other organizations and trade groups representing artists, musicians, and journalists have complained that AI companies are violating copyright law by copying their material and using it to train AI. economic competitiveness and national security.” Undermining those expectations will jeopardize future investment, along with U.S. “Those expectations have been a critical factor in the enormous investment of private capital into U.S.-based AI companies which, in turn, has made the U.S. “A change in this regime will significantly disrupt settled expectations in this area,” the firm continued. “Over the last decade or more, there has been an enormous amount of investment - billions and billions of dollars - in the development of AI technologies, premised on an understanding that, under current copyright law, any copying necessary to extract statistical facts is permitted,” Andreessen Horowitz wrote in a comment to the Copyright Office.

I started looking into this as really the ray tracing feature just wasn’t running anywhere near as fast as I would have expected. It’s staying at around 5%Īre there any settings or tricks I can do to really extract the most out of this Mac? Keeping in mind I’m new to Macs so may be missing something obvious? When I have the Activity Monitor open while running the TestMaxSpeed command, I’m not seeing any blip in the amount of RAM memory being used or CPU load. Yet when I run the test file “Test-Holomark-2.3dm Car model from Holomark 2, tested in Rendered mode.” with the command TestMaxSpeed I’m getting about 54 FPS rather than the claimed 111 FPS - when really I was expecting much faster as the benchmark unit was a 2021 M1 Max Macbook with 32 core GPU. The Macbook Pro is optioned up to the highest possible spec so I was expecting it to be blisteringly fast.Īpple M3 Max chip with 16‐core CPU, 40‐core GPU, I’m struggling to make anywhere close to the same performance claims mentioned for Rhino 8 on Mac. Logitech is close to impossible to work with however on any technical clarity or support so I’ll have to do without on that matter.I’ve been a user of Rhino on Windows for the past 22 years, but finally made the shift over to Mac with a new MacBook Pro 16". Regarding the Logitech mouse, I do have drivers installed so perhaps that’s preventing recognition of the mouse buttons. It seems they’ve become a bit arrogant over the years towards users as well as developers so please know I appreciate the degree of effort it takes endeavoring on such great projects as Rhino! I should note, that while I’m a Mac user and prefer the general look of application interfaces for Mac, I’m no fan (in the least ) of Apple Inc. Would you mind giving me a more detailed explanation of how I can assign key combos to desired actions like the change view/Cplane options? It seems more efficient to quickly assemble a collection of tools and then make further modifications such as adding right click options to particular tools. I think the former means of modifying tool sets had better/easier methods - specifically the drag and drop function. I often encounter applications that seem to have been laid out by decorators rather than designers. One visual improvement I’d offer is the option to increase the space tween tool icons in the tool panels.Īre the interface designers also actual professional users of the application. So far, things look nice but are actually less useful. I appreciate the aesthetic of a Mac interface and a clean presentation (I note the ‘grayed out’ quality of the top tool bar ribbon tabs) but I’m also inclined to efficient design. Over an 8 hour day those extra clicks add up! This latest interface actually increases them. Can’t the panel automatically update to the use has an immediate indication? Good design reduces the amount of user effort (clicks) to achieve tasks. If I’ve to check I have to scroll down each time I want to see what’s happened. Again, why make this an obstacle?Īnother issue is the command history - currently the panel option doesn’t display the last commands run. I use key combos to bring up the desired views but I can’t find that functionality. I don’t bother with the view buttons - also relocated to the tiny bottom ribbon but still, the placement is not convenient. Those are gone and what’s always struck me as a wasted space in the left panel neath the main tool bar panel that’s nearly empty but for the list of OSnaps check boxes.Īlso in V7, I can stack/have open more than a single sub panel but now it seems I’ve to make extra clicks to bring up what’s needed. In V7 I’ve also the OSnap and Filters buttons up top which are quite handy. It may be more aesthetically pleasing but it’s less than useful in this layout. I suppose this was done to reduce the visual clutter from the top/header of the window? have been moved to a rather thin ribbon at the very bottom of the display. In the latest WIP I note the buttons for ortho, history, etc. The bottom edge of any display window is for me at least the most unnoticed or paid attention to when I’m working. Some thoughts on the Mac version 8 interface: We’re also done breaking the APIs, so plug-ins written for this Beta will work in the commercial release of Rhino 8.” “What is BETA?

Also, it's worth noting that Welcome To Derry may not need to bring Bill Skarsgård back as Pennywise for two reasons: A) the story may be set during a year when the monster is hibernating, and B) it's pretty easy for the filmmakers to explain why the creature would look different given that It's whole deal is its ability to change its form. Original Pennywise actor Tim Curry reveals that he doesnt love the original IT miniseries ending, but loves the new Pennywise played by Bill Skarsgard. They were also ravenous Stephen King fans, with. And if someone else gets to do it, my advice would just be: do it your own, make it your own, have fun with it, you know what I mean? What I thought was so pleasurable about that character was how incredibly abstract he was.īased on his wording, it seems that nothing is set in stone just yet and that the door isn't closed in this conversation. One of the most celebrated cinematic interpretations of Stephen King is the two-film adaptation of his seminal horror novel 'It.' Directed. Genre luminary Guillermo del Toro came on to Mama as an executive. During an interview with Jake’s Takes the popular Pennywise actor. I'm, as of now, not currently involved in it. Stephen King’s It prequel Welcome to Derry won’t feature Bill Skarsgård as the iconic clown. We'll see what they come up with and what they do with it. He is best known for portraying Pennywise in the horror films (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019), based on Stephen King 's novel of the same name. Hopefully with Skarsgard's growing reputation for his creepy performances originating from It, Barbarianwill be able to deliver enough scares to please horror buffs.Skarsgård recently did an interview with Jake's Takes, and when the actor was asked about Welcome To Derry, he revealed that there is presently no deal in place that would bring him back as one of Stephen King's most nightmare-inducing creations. Bill Istvan Gnther Skarsgrd ( Swedish pronunciation: bl sko born 9 August 1990) is a Swedish actor. Barbarian seems like a film small enough to garner niche interest to sell tickets. The first footage for Welcome to Derry has been revealed as part of HBOs latest promo for new and returning shows.The footage is a small part of the video, starting at the 1:35 minute mark, in the 'Coming in 2025' portion. The cast and crew look back at the making of IT, especially Tim Currys performance. Horror remains one of the few auteur-driven genres in mainstream Hollywood, for there's always a niche demand for it, but not enough that mega studios take an interest, allowing for smaller companies and creators to leave their mark. The new documentary Pennywise: The Story of IT goes behind the scenes of the 1990s TV miniseries. The trailer definitely delivers a lot of questions about how the film's scares will unfold, as any good trailer should do.

It is the sequel to It (2017) and the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1986 novel It by Stephen King, primarily covering the second chronological half of the book. The trailer also implies the use of forced behavioral therapy as a tool for horror, something that's been used effectively in films like 1BR and The Lodge. It Chapter Two is a 2019 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman. With Skarsgard's ability to convey terror with effects and makeup in It, it'll be interesting to see him try to elicit the same feelings with just his face and body, something that shouldn't be too difficult with his intriguing mug.
