Can you explain a little more please. I thought that graphics processing would revert to CPU if the GPU is maxed out and so swap might ultimately help? Is there no general GPU-swap mechanism? If CPU threads are competing for GPU resource do

It's got to be an edge case for Wayland to be used with a 2GB VRAM card? Targeting recent cards and letting people using older hardware install x-windows, or whatever, seems sensible. You say (in your blog post) "Linux" didn

From a position of naivety, anything relating to electron dissociation sounds potentially useful for nano-components to use for computation, or for superconductivity?

"here"? We don't know where you are. In the UK police will ask the value of the property stolen and use that to decide whether to do anything. Low-value is under a few £k.

Downvoters maybe read the link you responded to whilst you didn't? The Pfizer Lyme vaccine is in the Wikipedia article linked that you responded to, and the link there works whilst the link in the story you linked is dead. Whilst it mi

A further problem is that vaccines generally aren't perfect, some people do get sick. Some people may even die. It's a population-based approach. They save far-far more people. Unfortunately vaccine-denialists will say 'ah th

Supporting a far-right megalomaniac, whilst helping them to train their ML, and giving them all your data ... what could go wrong.

There was a piece of caselaw about a company having an "agree" but a million tick-boxes to disagree. A lot of sites added a "disagree" button then.

You could have a 'no cookies' badge that links to your cookie policy - 'we use no tracking cookies and so are compliant with EU law ... then list any cookies/local-storage used and explain what they're for.

But in the embedding, the input language used to represent an idea is not important, the idea takes the same shape. This has caused issues in the past when models would respond with a different natural [human] language, because to models ab

Meanwhile, aren't companies already making screen captures to check for presentation (on 'smart' TV at least)? The presence of the output can be required, and it can be tested by hashing or some such (within the monitor, sign

Got it, so if we just do multi-factorial analysis, and define a manifold within an n-space ... then we can do policy based on that?!

This is not at all true, [non-final] rejections are very common. Not only for reasons relating to the the form of an application but also due to lack of novelty or inventiveness (35 USC 102, 103).

EPO has Espacenet, which hasn't been mentioned yet. I find it the best of the free patent search tools, ymmv.

You mean to create the invention? I think most jurisdictions have settled on 'use of ML tools is fine, you just need to name the user of the tool as inventor'. Invalidating a patent on the basis that the named inventor used ML too

Some countries don't examine patents for validity, some don't search prior art but leave it to the applicant. But plenty of countries do check for validity - including USA.

If it's really for defense you don't have to go to the expense of patenting stuff, disclosure is enough. IBM used to publish Technical Disclosure Bulletins (TDB) - I assume for patent defence.

It seems to be an assumption at this point that the massive increase is of frivolous suits/applications. Perhaps it's more a democratisation? Maybe, there were many worthy tribunals before but the prospective claimants weren'

I use iNaturalist for plants and animals, mostly insects (and Merlin for birdsong recognition). No ads, non-profit, contribute to research, etc. It also allows you to find out what others have spotted in your area. I like the range maps, th

I've thought about this a lot as it's effectively my idea of Origin Marks (not the same as the curvy OM/GI system), that are like trade marks but they serve the consumer rather than the companies. Anyway, all companies have l

It's very dependent on jurisdiction (and if you're rich, or a big company). In UK there's no non-commercial use exception at all. In USA it can fall under Fair Use, commercial nature is not the sole measure though.
