Nice little fun fact in the extras on the Star Trek Enterprise Blurays I just got:

At Paramount's studios they have exterior sets on the campus, including a "New York backlot" with a few brownstones and other buildings and streets. It shows up multiple times in Star Trek, including, "A Piece of the Action" (TOS), "Time's Arrow" (TNG), "Past Tense" (DS9), "11:59" (VOY). "The Expanse" (ENT), and "Storm Front" (ENT).

When I extract the content from Blurays for streaming to my TV, I always make sure to keep all the extras.

I've been going through and setting the labels on the commentary tracks for the Star Trek Enterprise episodes that have them.

In this box set there are also text commentary tracks by Mike & Denise Okuda, which are full of nerdy information and trivia. They get less in the way of watching the show than audio commentary, so I look forward to reading them! 😁

Copying an archive.is link of this OregonLive.com story because it probably deserves more attention and is behind a paywall:

"A former University of Oregon undergraduate who says he discovered a significant security flaw in the college’s computer network and twice reported it to university officials faced a disciplinary hearing as a result."

"Physics major Owen Mitchem said he was able to inadvertently access confidential information, including the Social Security numbers of more than 3,500 public university employees around the state, last fall, including of the university’s president and its football coach, the highest-paid public employee in the state. He says the breach should have been a wake-up call for the university to tighten its online security."

"But according to an email the university provided to The Oregonian/OregonLive in response to a public records request, the university’s associate dean of students, Dianne Tanjuaquio, concluded that Mitchem’s actions violated the school’s policies on “acceptable use of computing resources.” She required him to write a 750-word essay reflecting on the situation; if not completed, he could face a suspension of his student account, preventing him from registering for classes or changing his course schedule."

"Mitchem says he was just searching in Microsoft Teams for some budget figures for the physics club he ran when he stumbled across a spectrum of university financial documents, visible via files on SharePoint, a Microsoft tool that can be integrated with Teams. They seemed harmless at first glance, he told The Oregonian/OregonLive, but not something his student email permissions should have allowed him to view."

"Mitchem alerted a physics department grants technician and assumed the wide access would be quickly corrected. He later found out that the technician hadn’t alerted the university’s information department, meaning that unbeknownst to him, the IT department remained unaware of the security lapse, Mitchem said via email."

God, I though we were past this nonsense.

Perhaps Mr. Mitchem might want to include in his essay a summary of Oregon's data breach notification statute, which quite possibly applies in this situation, and which could create some nontrivial obligations and liabilities for the university.

@mattblaze I hope I'm wrong, but that will just make the administration even angrier at him and find any excuse possible to have him hanged.

"it fits a tech industry playbook to grow a business first and later pay a relatively small fine...for breaking the rules... Anthropic (is valued) at $183 billion."

It's what I suspected: Anthropic did the maths on how many authors have registered copyright (only 500k out of the 7M titles stolen, $3k not $150k). Better than $750 per title(statue min)but...

It's a fine for "rule breaking" not "you stole books, erase your model and start over with non-stolen goods"

@premartinpatrick if it was up to me Anthropic would have to delete all their models or go bankrupt; either one works for me
