The Pitt does get a lot of people to subscribe to HBO Max just to watch the show. Producing at least one compelling TV show each quarter has been HBO's business model for several decades.

Except your completely wrong, because if what you said was true then the arbitrator (paid for by Uber) wouldn't have ruled against Uber. Note that even if the driver was an independent contractor and this mattered, Uber would still hav

Except that settled law generally doesn't apply to independent contractors Except it does... My contract, as a customer, isn't with the independent contractor. It's with the company. I, as a customer, don't care whethe

A company is liable for the actions of its workers whether they are W2 employees or 1099 independent contractors. That distinction governs the relationship between the worker and the company, not the company and its customers. A worker&#x27

If someone is doing a Doordash delivery, runs a red light and hits someone, is it Doordash's fault? Yes. This is settled law dude. It's a form of vicarious liability and had been around for a very long time.

The distinction is primarily for tax purposes. Companies are responsible for the actions of independent contractors working for the company. This has been the law for...decades... Why are you trying so hard to defend a multibillion dollar c

The driver is also liable. Uber is liable here because they employed the driver.

There's an HN thread from yesterday in which people are extolling the ability of these vectorial databases to practice law because most of them don't understand how LLMs work. They assume that LLMs "understand" what they

A common tactic is to bury your opponent in the threat of heavy damages or jail-time to get them to settle for what you were originally after, which courts are perfectly happy to facilitate because it gets a potentially lengthy trial off t

Espn has an article about Lane Kiffin using this for his legal advice recently. He almost singlehandedly killed LSUs football program until people were able to convince him to talk to a real lawyer.

And then a few years later when the site shuts down because nobody was willing to pay for the content that it would still be around if you and others had just ponied up the cost of one morning latte each month.

Because the parent's central thesis is wrong. Kings didn't war to spread religion because most of them weren't religious. They warred over land and power. The way feudal societies worked, allegiance was like a (bottom up) tre

I understand that thinking is difficult now that everybody offloads their thought to LLMs, but the math is very simple. The cheapest comparable device with the same (or better) level of eye tracking is $1500 (i.e., 50% more than the Steam F

You're misunderstanding. The Pimax headsets with foveated eye tracking start at $1599.

hen your examples that lost money got the green light to start development, the shooter market was very different which is why they got all that money to begin with. No, it wasn't. You are just ignoring the dates. When Marathon got t

It seems you don't understand the difference between a conviction and serving a sentence. She was convicted, but has not served any time. Your own link confirms that she was convicted. The equivalent crime in the U.S. is "vehicula

Legally it makes all the difference in the world. It's the same as the difference between murder and manslaughter.

1) The military defines rape differently 2) She was convicted by the way.... 3) and our boys died in yours.

Quite the contrary. Marathon got hundreds of millions in cash because the shooter genre was making billions (at the time) so for them it was worth the gamble even if they lost. Two shooters were making billions at the time Marathon beg

Tempest Rising made more in profits than Marathon, despite selling a fraction as many copies. Given that Marathon is unlikely to ever make a profit, Tempest Rising technically made infinitely more in profits than Marathon did.

An RTS game would generate lower revenue but higher profits. Low risk but low reward. A shooter is a high risk high-reward endeavor. The track record for shooters for the past 5 years is actually much worse than it has been for RTS games, b

Companies that plan to go public don't push back their IPO dates if things are going well. It's a universal sign that the finances aren't in order when a company pushes back its IPO multiple times . OpenAI and Anthropic are

Not surprising. Musk displayed uncommonly detailed knowledge of the Southeast Asian child sex trade in the aftermath of the Thai Cave Crisis. It's not a big stretch to allowing CSAM on his own social media network.

Buckmaster came up with an approach. OpenAI's approach was to copy his work, which is technically a different method of coming up with an approach.

Your link shows that the progressives were in favor of the cameras, but the moderates voted it down because a study showed no change in police behavior so it wasn't a critical need when they were facing a budget shortfall.

No they don't, and no they haven't. LLMs have been making so many mistakes that the big firms have slowed or even paused their LLM spend. And that was before CA passed a law relating legal AI use.

That's irrelevant. Scale matters when you're discussing costs because costs increase nonlinearly.

That's only true if the picture was specifically commissioned by the company. If it's a stock image or a licensed image, they need a license to alter the original image.

Google has a history of doing account wide bans. If after more than a decade of complaints they have finally figured out service specific bans they need to tell people that.
