Would include mobile phones and watches - they both transmit "... RF Energy ....."
In fact lots circuits transmit RF energy - computers do it un intentionally ... just saying
I recall, One bit sound was detailed extensively in Byte Magazine starting in mid 70s. A square wave that has its frequency varied.
A google of the words " Generating speech with a square wave wave , Byte magazine " picks up lots links about this technique.
Fourier transform show a square wave consists of odd sine wave harmonics.
[A more advanced technique (more than one bit) would use microprocessor interrups to generate several sqare waves, output them with more than one IO pin and combine them with a resister network]
This mention of one bit sound made me remember the Lis’ner 1000 project of Steve Ciarca , cira 1984 , WHICH WAS speech recognition system of about 30 words. It used a GI SP1000 chip
I never had a Commododore , but I had several other computers starting from around 1979.
From that era , from arount 1975 forward there where often SEVERAL NEW different computers released each year.
That include SBC Single board computer that was sold as the board , often without a power eupply or case
and S100 systems
and DIY hobbyiest build systems
I still have most of books and magazines from that era, most of my computers , got lost, I still have a few.
when I read title .
"Annas archive owes $340 million absolutely first thing that came to mind is
" How much do all these Ai companies owe for their unauthorised use of books and other media?"
Z80 was the choice of a microprocessor for then home computers such as Radio Shack TRS-80, SORD M23P, M5, Sinclair ZX81, ZX Spectrum, KayPro II, and many other manufacturers.3 It was capable of running the CP/M operating system in most Z80-based PCs. Z80 had a reasonable share in the PC market until Intel revealed its 16-bit microprocessor in the mid-1980s. Z80 was very popular as a microprocessor not only in PC applications, but also in industrial embedded applications, and some of the big manufacturers have Z80 core inside their ASIC chips still today or use enhanced versions of Z80 in consumer electronic devices.4–7 Zilog still manufactures ez80, an enhanced version of the original Z80, which is still being used by Texas Instruments in its TI-84 and TI-84 Plus calculators.7 It is among the few silicon chips that made a remarkable impact on the electronic device industry.8 To this day, Zilog produces a range of Z80-based microprocessors and intelligent peripheral controllers, and they are available from reputed electronics component suppliers.2,9,10 This microprocessor is one of the longest living microprocessors of all time.
You do not need to shred books to scan them. This only happens if you don't care about preserving the integrity of the books and you want to scan more cheaply.
But their legal framework for being permitted to scan the books en masse (they are "transforming" the book from physical to digital) requires destruction of the original. Otherwise it wouldn't be transforming, it would be duplicating.
OK that action allows them to do the transformation.
But how about the importing into the AI tool?
Does this "transformation" somehow override the authors complaints of AI taking their book and not compensating the authors for its mass usage in the AI tool.
In the linked page it shows the battery as easily removable.
If the potential thief , realizes the battery has been removed, "I think" it would sharply reduce?? the attractiveness of ebike theft to the thief ?
