I was able to recreate this, eventually. I deleted my earlier comment where I failed to reproduce it - my method of extracting a bitstream from the list of numbers was flawed. First, I greedily requested 10,000 random numbers from xkcd with

That's true! I suspect it will be difficult to convince people that an AI can, as you suggest, make contextual considerations based on a shared understanding of what it's like to live a human life.

This is fair. I just wonder if we're about getting to the point where we should be talking about how they would be adjusted.

I think that’s a good reason to question whether this would be due process. Why do we have due process? One key reason is that it gives people the opportunity to be heard. One could argue that being heard by an AI is no different from being

I think another aspect of this is mass criminal law enforcement enabled by AI. Many of our criminal laws are written with the implicit assumption that it takes resources to investigate and prosecute a crime, and that this will limit the eff

I have this comic on my wall at my desk.[1] It's about how much work goes into every detail of the everyday things we take for granted. I practice law, mostly patent litigation, and often my job entails untangling one of these stories.

It happened when I did load the game files, I had to patch out this line to remove the second set of args: Module.arguments = [...args, ...params.args]; Then, it did work! :D

Weird, I get an error: > Exception thrown: TypeError: params.args is undefined

Managed to get this compiled and running on my M1 MBA pretty quickly, although a bit tricky. For reference to those who might attempt, I had to swap 'python' for 'python3' in the header of the waf binary, patch one file

Tens of thousands. I guess the edited title isn’t wrong, in the same way as “more than 12” is a valid answer to most questions about how many of a given thing are in a city. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1159799-tumbl

Apparently there’s also a die shrink on the SoC, which is otherwise the same but should draw less power.

I think these reference materials are more about how they’re well-characterized, right? It’s peanut butter, sure, but it’s not meant to be the peanut butter or even represent any particular peanut butter. Instead, it comes with a detailed

Professors in law school love to use the Socratic method. Most classes are centered around the professor asking students about cases from the reading. The student describes the case and answers follow-up questions about it from the profess

I think android is - and has been - more heavy-handed than Apple here. Even when you could install and trust a new root CA, some apps can and would ignore this. Apps can use certificate pinning on both iOS and Android, but apps by default o

This is actually potentially helpful for me as a lawyer for generating a paper record, and something I was talking about (and meaning to write up a script for) the other day. Sometimes I want to use a Youtube video in a court filing (for ex

This reminds me of the quote from Star Trek, “There are many parts of my youth that I'm not proud of. There were -- loose threads; untidy parts of me that I would like to remove. But when I pulled on one of those threads, it unraveled

Neat. By a strange coincidence, I made something similar yesterday in a script to make each letter in HTML into a different font. I wanted to see if it would end up as an OCR-proof font: https://gist.github.com/tonyb486&#x2F

It's weird how entire TLDs get reputations like that. NY's transit agency - the MTA - used (and still uses) the domain mta.info. My high school blocked that domain, along with every other info domain. I have a .xyz domain that I b

I have no TV in my living room now, just a projector that lives in the closet. It puts some friction between me and sitting on the couch to watch something. It just takes a few minutes to set it up, but it's enough to keep it to occasi

Was in a group where we launched a couple of weather balloons back in undergrad. One we recovered and got cool pictures from[1]. The other one never returned. I now choose to believe it was shot down by the USAF back in 2010. [1]: https:
