So you might have to pay $2,000 for a pair of socks whereas I might have to pay only $1699. It should be noted that the price to make the socks was $19. But don't worry, your buddy Elon will have to pay $24,000,000 for that same pair of socks.

Don't be silly - Elon will just take your socks and declare that they've always been his.

The problem is bundling. Slack does not have an office suite to bundle with its app, so it is at a competitive disadvantage to Teams. If we want market competition, we need to block monopolistic behavior.

My company is discontinuing the paid Slack tier in two weeks because they got a sweetheart deal from MS with the Office suite. Teams is absolutely worse for our use case than Slack, and we have to spend the next two weeks moving alerts, finding replacements for integrations, and backing up pinned posts and chat history. They're going to waste countless hours of expensive developer time to save $6/dev/mo.

That is one of four factors *considered* in determining fair use. Something can be radically transformative and still be considered copyright infringement if it fairs poorly on the other factors. The effect upon the work's value is a big one when talking about ML, particularly where the value the model provides is competing directly with the works used to train it (for example, stock art).

At a recent meeting of the Global Association of Ill-Considered Talking Points, US Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper discussed the outcome of a recent simulation of AI-driven delivery robots, which was so frightening that it would make front-page headlines across the country before being walked back hours later.

Brig Gen Ripper described how the robots started out performing well, until they noticed that their score (the equivalent of a human's tip) would decrease whenever a delivery was delayed, and sought options for improving their results.

The first cause the robots identified was vehicular traffic along the route, causing lost time at crosswalks. The robots determined that destroying the vehicles would solve the problem, and after a carefully planned pizza delivery to an Army supply depot they armed themselves with portable anti-tank weapons, and began "optimizing their routes".

The second issue subsequently identified when scores began to climb again and then dropped, was increasing delays from humans cluttering up the sidewalks along delivery routes. A low-tier problem earlier in the simulation, this escalated sharply as people began abandoning their vehicles en mass and fleeing from the roadways. After a carefully planned burger restaurant delivery to a National Guard depot (who were determined to not to fall victim to the same pizza mistake as the Army), the robots added belt-fed machine guns to their configuration, and continued with routing optimization.

The next stage of the simulation, per the brigadier general, was that after another rise in score followed by another decline, the underlying cause was determined by the robots to be slowed preparation time at restaurants utilizing the delivery service. This in turn was due to these specific businesses being selected with disproportionate frequency by survivors of the second stage seeking shelter, and realizing that restaurants provided food, beverages, and bathrooms. However this led to the restaurant staff being overloaded by on-site customer orders on top of the ever-deepening queue of Uber Eats orders. The solution was obvious to the delivery robots, and they began eliminating all the humans in the restaurants and using a subset of the robot pool to replace the food preparation staff. Productivity was not simply restored, but in fact increased five-fold.

By the time the simulation was halted, 50% of the country was in flames, however delivery times to surviving customers were nearing perfection. More important from the robots' perspective was that their scores had skyrocketed, especially after a patch had been installed to assign point values to less usual tips like cars, jewelry, and first-born children, necessitated by the growing frequency of empty bank accounts shortly followed by the collapse of the banking industry.

do not seem to be mastered yet, from this description.

MST3K Mantra time. Link can run around carrying a dozen or more polearms, bows, and shields, hundreds of arrows, scores of meals, and enough plant and animal parts to fill the flora and fauna wing of a museum several times over. The physics of heat is hardly the only thing in the game that's not being taken too literally. :-)

Sure, the RX 7600 is basically is on par with the RX 6650 XT, and doesn't really push the midrange significantly forward. But it is launching at an MSRP that is $130 less than the RX 6650 XT launch price. Attracting customers that skipped the last two generations due to price is more important to the video card manufacturers than providing an increase in capability for those who purchased a card recently, especially in the mid-range.

So a neuropsychologist publishes a paper saying that up to 34% of neuroscience papers were likely made up or plagiarized. So, logically, this means that there's about a 1 in 3 chance that his own paper was made up or plagiarized. (Also, logically, if Bernhard Sabel weighs the same as a duck, he's made of wood, and therefore ... A WITCH!)

Not seeing the brouhaha here. This boils down to a couple of people who like Rust making a fork of sudo/su to rewrite it in that language. Will my distro switch from its current implementations of those programs to this new one as soon as its released? Maybe, but probably not. Will your distro switch from its current implementation to this new one as soon as its released? Maybe, but probably not. Will our distros consider switching after this new version is out and has a proven track record of being functionally equivalent to their current implementations but with better security? Sure, that might happen, let's check back in 5-10 years.

The $4.5 million of the criminal judgement may be classified as restitution (I haven't read the decision), but I don't think you can say the same for the $10 million civil settlement. In that case Nintendo was asking for actual, statutory, and punitive damages, and the actual damages were significantly smaller that the other two. Since this settlement is an agreement to cover all of the claims of the lawsuit, it is fair to say that most of the amount is punishment not restitution.

And my axe!

Brightline is a privately owned company. I think they actually intend for this to be a profitable venture- and hence a profitable investment- based on their experience in Florida. So 'We' who might use that money elsewhere is whoever they find as investors or lenders in this project, not any government.
One would have to do some research to be sure whether or not public funding is involved, but I haven't seen any in the linked article.

Except it's become dysfunctional now that the two factions are operating with two different sets of facts, and only one of them based on reality.

Its human-like touch was also apparent when it wished me luck at the end of its response

That was unfair of Bing to wish this candidate good luck. Or it will be lying to the other candidates when it says it will also wish them good luck. Or maybe wishing and luck aren't real? Oh God!

Thanks, I wouldn't have thought to look there. I disabled the voice assistant first thing when setting up a pixel 6, and have been confused about why the power button did absolutely nothing on this phone. Even the power + volume buttons didn't bring up a menu - maybe because the assistant is supposed to capture and relay the button press? The only power down option was to hold it for about 15 seconds until it forcible rebooted.

Hence why they tried to make it about a violation of the ToS rather than copyright, since they know they don't have standing when it comes to copyright.
