>And then we end up in the same situation where there's some new thing that should probably be regulated at the federal level but can't be since it's not explicitly listed in the constitution. Which is sort of the point of

The senate has plenty of representativity. Is China or India any less represented at the UN because they have the same number of votes as Cuba and Micronesia? Surely there are a few "popular" items China or Russia might like to se

They've done that because other readings require some pretty significant twists and turns to get there. Some are more reasonable than others, but take "guns" out of the equation and the individual right becomes obvious. Consi

Their plan is to have it by the end of the year: >Before the end of the year, we expect to ship a wireless-enabled Pico 2 W, using the same Infineon 43439 modem as Pico W, and versions of both Pico 2 and Pico 2 W with pre-installed 0.1-i

Even the ALCU? The NAACP? The AFL-CIO? The NRA? The Innocence Project? I suspect like most things in life, the situation is far more complex than can be captured in a simple 4 word rote expression.

Apple's hardware support timelines are 5 years from last sale date for "vintage" status, and 7 years for "obsolete" status. One should probably assume that firmware support especially and possibly software support w

He was right to do so. Give people an easy way out of designing for a new interface and they won't design for it. It's the same reason why they didn't do a stylus for iPhones and iPads early on. If they had, the overwhelming

>Rules issued by federal agencies take years to draft, review, and take effect.... after multiple periods of public review. Which still hasn't stopped Net Neutrality from being not law, then law, then not law, and now law again in a

Fortunately, we haven't thrown out the ability of the executive branch to regulate, as they very clearly regulated many things before 1984. And if there is ambiguity as to the authority of an executive agency to make rules within the s

I agree that it's a problem for congress to solve. But I disagree that the court is resolving an issue of policy. If policy carries penalties and the ability of the government to punish you, then it is inherently a matter of law, beca

To me, it's not that you need to be uninformed, but that you need to stay out of the firehose stream. In my decades on this earth, I can't remember a single election or major supreme court decision that wasn't considered &quo

>That sounds great in theory, however our Congress is known to be useless and in total gridlock. We should really fix this instead of making end runs around congress. The rule of law changing on the whims of which president is in office

That line from the sub-headline is ridiculous. Nothing about the prior "regulatory environment" stopped Net Neutrality from being enforced, and then repealed and then re-enforced all on the whims and changing of the person running

“Sales engineer” sounds like one of those positions that would be regularly setting up demos for customers and have access to the equipment and basic operating procedures. “Could we use this to burn paint off the road” sounds exactly like t

In the US at least, it would be a rare toilet location that doesn't have hot water within reasonable range. Even places I've been where the toilet and sink are in separate rooms, it's usually separated by a single interior wa

My personal experience (with a Luxe Neo 320, so not a fancy thing) is that water pressure is sufficient for 99%. If you've had a particularly bad day, a little TP after finishes the job.

So things might vary from bidet/setup, but at least for my own experience with a Luxe Neo 320: Aiming really isn't a problem. For one, the water doesn't just come on at full blast, the control allows you to bring it up from o

Rules and algorithms in general (and in the US) are not covered by copyright. The expression of those rules as a creative work is, but the rules themselves are not. To that end, anyone could take your procedures and duplicate the effects of

So what if we made a function. What if someone scans all the works of Harry Potter and generates a program/function that uses the frequency and pairing of phonemes in Harry Potter character names to create a “Wizard Name Generator” to

I agree. Nothing is going to be the final word until more of these cases are heard. But I still don't think Warhol is as strong even against other uses of generative AI, and in fact I think in some ways argues in their favor. The court

I think that decision is much narrower than "market impact". It's specifically about substitution, and to that end, I don't see a good argument that Co-Pilot substitutes for any of the works it was trained on. No one is

It doesn't appear to be painfully obvious. Both because they're not losing court cases yet, and there's a huge swath of non copyrighted code being produced by co-pilot every day. By contrast the plaintiffs apparently were una

No more so than scanner/printer manufacturers adding tech to prevent you from scanning and printing currency is destruction of evidence that they are in fact producing illegal machines for counterfeiting.

One would think if these were "plagiarism machines", that one of the plaintiffs would have been able to produce even a single instance of the copying they alleged.

In fact, go to far as to argue your example of Authors Guild v. Google is a good indication that most cases will probably go an AI platform's way. It's a pretty parallel case to a number of the arguments. Indexing required ingesti

Why bother with all that nonsense when the sitting president could just order all their executive agencies to change the rules or stop enforcing them entirely. The argument for the most recent decision is deferring to the enforcers about th

I would ask how often making that distinction actually matters. I grew up in a rather conservative household, so went into the world with a pre-disposition to be against welfare programs and the like, stemming from an attribution error that

Because the situations are different? Apple has at best, 50% of the market. They sell their own hardware, and the OS is only available on that hardware. They don't force other phone manufacturers to buy iOS licenses even though they&#x
