Why use a date field, which introduces all manner of privacy and anonymity issues? Instead, you could use flags: unverified, verified-minor, verified-adult. (and for further protection you could opt to leave minors at the unverified state). It might need some refinement since age restrictions vary with jurisdiction. But recording whether someone is at least over a certain age beats recording their exact date of birth.

And the fridge will be locked until you finished watching them. Resume viewing --- Resume viewing --- Resume viewing ---

With a working fusion rocket you won't have to coast most of the way, and the journey can be significantly shorter. It's right there in the summary: "from months to just a few weeks". Though I doubt that this company will build an actual fusion rocket motor anytime soon, if ever.

In the 70s and 80s, the threat from a handful of countries was: "We can destroy everything". With developments in Russia, Ukraine, Iran and now China, the new doctrine is: "We can destroy anything"... and that's not just from a few large states, but potentially other actors who are both willing to send these things, and do not greatly have to fear retaliation.

That is covered by the "providing false or misleading information" clause. In other countries it might be considered "destruction of or tampering with evidence". Around here, you can't be compelled to provide passwords to your personal devices, but providing a burn-down pin or otherwise deleting information after the police have asked for it, is a crime.

As for Touch ID or Face ID: in many places you can be compelled to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, or they can simply hold it up to your face in case of Face ID. Most phones have a shortcut to lock out biometrics and revert to password/PIN only, comes in handy if you're stopped by police and you suspect it's not just a traffic stop. (On iPhones it's 5 clicks of the side button. That also starts a call to 911 / 112 so make sure to cancel that).

I think it's fine if artists use generative AI like this to spruce up their graphics, as long as the end result is good. One problem is: nVidia envision this as a post-processing step, a reshader... that is only available on nVidia cards. Leaving those with Intel or AMD cards with a game that looks like crap. And I am sure nVidia can make a couple of deals with a few studios to use this tech.

If they're in port and he takes runs around the neighborhood, he might make himself a target. Didn't a few Russian officers get nailed by partisans after posting their regular morning runs on Strava (or a similar app)?

Most armed forces ban the app for good reason.

We grew up better without them, and some of the kids recognize that (here in Europe we've had similar experimental bans as well). When asked, one notable point some kids made was that they felt more carefree, secure in knowing that an embarrassing misstep or misspoken word is not going to be filmed to haunt you for the rest of the year.

The CEO of Micron was equally explicit about discontinuing the Crucial brand of computer memory: "Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments"

Some aircraft already offer an emergency system that, when activated, guides the aircraft to the nearest airfield, makes radio calls along the way, and lands the plane. It has been used successfully in actual emergencies a few times.

Maybe because it'll be a jury who decides what is real and what isn't, and who is liable. Somehow I don;t think that will lead to a lot of good verdicts.

You went after traffickers of cannabis... until it was made legal. By the same token, you can go after those who are pumping, peddling and burning fossil fuels... after you have made it illegal to do so.

Even if all of that were true, oil companies are still not solely to blame for it all. And what would be the point in suing them?
Also, there's no justice in it. It's not like they were doing anything illegal. All of us can take some responsibility ourselves for this mess, instead of trying to find an easy target to blame it all on and extract an easy buck from them.

I won't comment on your general critique of the person you were replying to, but where Baochip is concerned I think you're being more than a bit harsh. Me? I'm cautiously optimistic.

Bunnie has a pretty good reputation and knows his way around the industry AFAIK, and he is the driving force behind Baochip.

We'll see what happens.

The real question is: is the output of an LLM trained on his work really a derivative work? If I read the book and use what I learned from it in my (paid) work, maybe even quoting from it, does that constitute a derivative work? Or did I just violate the terms "use of the work for any purpose without payment"? Neither part seems legally enforceable.
