You're not even smart enough to read my comment and know what I said, though. So your response is not responsive.

Not only did they not pay the licensing fees, but the rules also require things like insurance (for the human), planning for how to get the human to medical care if they are hurt, etc, etc.

There are all manner of stupid things that are legal, but require insurance and a special use permit. "But muh free dumbs!" isn't a defense for not buying the insurance and getting the permit. And no, putting a "sovereign idiot" sticker on your car doesn't change the requirements, either.

They advertise their event as "real combat." It is not advertised as "robots and humans doing katas together," or "humans and robots training together."

That's the basic problem. If they admit it's fake, like "professional wrestling," then the requirements might be totally different.

If you sell tickets for an illegal event it is unlikely that "it was fake" or "it was a scam" will operate as defense. Especially when the law in question primarily regulates public events.

If you advertised it as a "real fight," as here, then it would be an illegal contest.

If you advertise it as a theatrical play about humans fighting robots, then it's legal.

They advertised it as "real combat," and yes, a boxing match needs two opponents; both licensed.

If they advertised it as a workout, then it wouldn't need to be sanctioned.

Just like, a sparring match doesn't have to be sanctioned. Unless you advertise it as a fight.

You really have to be stupid if you think one slashdot users comments somehow reflect on anybody else.

Does this eggplant62 person speak for me? No. Does he speak for Democrats? No. Does he speak for anybody but himself? No.

Do all of your absurd, moronic comments reflect on anybody other than you? No. Be glad that people you support aren't measured by looking at you, instead of them! Whoever they are, they'd be looking pretty bad.

The Supreme Court cheated and handed the election to Bush, but we (Democrats) never said that the solution was an additional illegal action or a refusal to acknowledge President Bush's win. When an election comes down to mere hundreds of votes in one district then the court might make a "mistake" and give it to their guy. Process is important, and the process was followed. That's what a Patriot does; they support the Constitutional process even when they don't like it and don't think everybody else followed it correctly.

What the Republicans election denialists now are doing is trying to throw out results in ways that the process doesn't allow for. That's treasonous.

They don't use toilet paper, they just splash a little water on it and call it clean.

You're one of those idiots who think there is an official "Declaration of War" form.

But you're not smart enough or educated enough to know that there is a "War Powers Act" and when Congress appropriates funding and says, "This meets the requirements of the War Powers Act" that it means it is a declaration of war. No, no, it's an "authorization" of actions that covered by the definition of war, but no, no, it's not a "war."

Fucking moron. You think you're fighting the good fight, but you haven't even learned the language you're pretending to speak.

Username checks out! (kids, look it up if you didn't know)

I agree with your conclusion, but the problem isn't that the community is "temperamental." It's that programmers are generally emotionally immature and have low general intelligence. Including Linus. Absolutely a software genius, but every time he tries to argue a controversial point he makes an apples to oranges comparison and then uses it as a straw man, while thumping the table, calling people stupid, and declaring absolute unquestionable victory.

There's just no way for any of them to be good at enforcing that sort of rule.

His LLM code ended up sucking even though he tried to test it, so it might actually level the playing field.

Not in the way most people would hope for, but still.

You sound like the sort of person who should set it to load at startup so you can stop whining. It's bad for your mental health.

Why are you trying to doomscroll the Steam product pages? If you're that bored and don't want to play anything, just add a real hobby to your life.

I don't use windows but... maybe you shouldn't comment on technical stuff? I know, I know, you're probably the "computer genius" among your friends and family, but this is slashdot, you're surrounded by people who have at least sometimes worn a sysadmin hat professionally.

You don't go out and club a network stack over the head and drag it home. That isn't how any of this works.

As with everything else in life, you can decide and declare that you don't care, but it doesn't stop the effect on your subconscious. All it does is prevent you having the opportunity for self-awareness, and potentially mitigate some of the harms by identifying the source of your emotions.
