Unfortunately I'm not sure this will affect those at all...it's specifically for "realistic" AI use according to all the quotes. I'm not sure narration or illustration/slides generated by AI would be covered at

It's worth pointing out that TurboTax is just one of their products... even if it went away overnight, they'd still have a lucrative business publishing QuickBooks. It is basically the standard in small business accounting softwar

They demonstrate a correlation, but not causation. In fact they point out the reverse is likely true, too, that people more likely to die by gun might want to keep a gun at home. What you call "sophistry" others might consider &qu

First, it's a bit of a silly cliché, but a true one, that guns don't kill people, people kill people. The way you've phrased it, even aside from the facts, makes it feel like FUD implying that someone's gun is going to c

Personally I'd be fine with a commercial license with source available here... the issue isn't the price, it's the fact that you're asked to MITM every network connection you make under the control of a binary blob. I th

> Ban guns, or regulate them, and their owners? Both, though I don't know the breakdown. I'm confident saying there's absolutely some people who seem to see onerous regulation as a path to a de facto ban, though. I'd

More likely the detailed ones came out of ECAD systems that often include 3d models in their component libraries so you can automatically visualize/model the finished product while designing a board, and integrate with physical CAD for

Not the first one... but the "pair of interconnected mugs" that is described as "emphasizes connectivity and collaboration, suitable for serving beverages in a shared or communal setting" is pretty amazing too. I never k

AFAIK they claim to still be selling general purpose CNC machines that aren't marketed as being for firearms... but only take the money and ghost customers without actually delivering anything.

I find it a bit sad that contextual pointers aren't nearly as common as they used to be. They can certainly be overdone or done poorly, but done well they give a really nice indicator that can account for some combination of context of

Pick-A-Brick sounded like such a good idea on paper, until you realize that the economics of it end up being a handful of brick size/color combos and then bin after bin of minifig accessories.

"works out in my favor" is a pretty poor metric. If I burn a billion tons of someone else's coal to make myself a paperclip (and don't have to breathe the outputs) it works out in my favor too.

Even if the TEMPEST were easier, it's significantly less powerful, as it's not going to get you the ability to write malicious firmware to the audio device nor a persistent connection to the host device when the audio device isn&#

According to the details in their whitepaper, firmware is signed, but the management protocol allows reading arbitrary memory, so you can read out the keys and sign your own payload. I'm not sure anyone intentionally did this, but ther

This kind of insistence that their way is "better" and thus justifying removing agency from the user is the exact same thing that's kept me away from signal, too. Even their own blog post acknowledges a perfectly good current

You say "for every unicode symbol", which I guess is true if you search by code, but for anything that isn't in your curated set I'm unable to even find it if I paste the literal character or use the "official"

Visual Studio has never been open source, though some of the underlying build tools and compilers are. Visual Studio Code is a different thing... and claims to be open source, but by intent and approach really is closer to source available.

So much of pharmaceutical development is educated guess work. For every promising compound even brought to human trials there were likely 10s-100s of others that were abandoned or neglected for lack of resources to pursue them all. Without
