What is the invention here? Infrared SPOx meters have been around forever, and wireless is a standard way to communicate data now. Didn't Fitbits do all this stuff at least a decade ago?
Do you have the right to license your Fediverse comments like this?
Wait, their comment was removed because they tried to copyright it? I’ve seen some bonkers things online in my day, but legally protecting your brain fart on Lemmy is a new one.
Hah, didn’t see that coming.
It does feel a little “sovereign citizen”-y, but I’m guessing based on the general sentiment around here that they want to discourage scraping Lemmy for LLM training data. It’s an… interesting… tactic though, as I would imagine most instances give themselves exclusive control over content licensing. I’m kind of curious how copyright would be applied in a federated network, though: would instances apply a license to incoming data, leaving other instances with the responsibility of defederating from them if they don’t agree with the license, or would the instance apply a license to outgoing data, forcing other instances to either comply or defederate?
If it's a creative work then you get the Copyright on it, and can release it as you like. The work must meet a required level of creativity to qualify.
If people want to try and license their posts, why would instance owner care?
Roses are in, violets are out, perhaps this is such creative, but I have much doubt.
Work by tabular. License: CC BY-SA 4.0
I’m not questioning that so much as… can’t instances force you to license your content to them in the same way Reddit does, potentially one that is incompatible with the NC and SA designations?
I don't recall agreeing to terms like that but at the end of the day they don't have to host any posts. If I thought they banned posting works with our choice of license that would be a red flag for me.
Sadly it seems licenses can be ignored when used for machine learning, it's only if they end up reposting copyrighted material rather exactly.
Reflectance based pulse oximeters have only been commercialized in the last decade or so. The transmissive ones that shine IR through tissue (where the IR source and the IR sensors are on opposite sides of a fingertip or earlobe) have been around for decades, but a one-sided pulse oximeter that maintains accuracy with movement is basically a recent invention.
