No, Linux succeeded because BSD was held up in court. Users overwhelmingly wanted *nix on commodity PC hardware.

And you are seeing a similar disregard for the license here. Demonstrating the viability of Rust being more important than the GPL.

My point is that if we have human writers and directors providing the creativity, and the AIs providing implementations, could it be art? I think that is the core of what we have to figure out.

I am arguing in good faith here. And I am arguing about what I've seen from the inside.

Reports of police misconduct are newsworthy. Reports of police doing the correct thing are not. The "news" does not portray an accurate picture. Neither for the police nor the people of underserved communities. They don/t really talk about the members of either group doing the right thing.

Pick a topic where you are truly an expert. A day job, a hobby, something you know from sources other than the media. Now consider how badly the media portrays those. They portray everything just as badly.

You are starting to understand. The officer wants to get the whole story from the followers side. The more he talks the better. If you start off with the serious issue that is your central concern that could spook him into silence. So start with the harmless stuff that will not tip him off.

Its a public safety concern, its why the officer wants to hear the followers side of the story from the beginning.

And the officer is certainly aware of the wave of attacks on flock equipment. Hence concern over a flock employee being followed.

Separating people about to fight is also a standard technique. Preventing the violence from breaking out. But truthfully, 15 minutes of getting the guy talking to describe the events so far is not really much.

Nope, you are still mistaken. "Candidates" represent the political parties.

They were offered the same as Kimmel, non-broadcast venues where FCC fairness rules would not apply. Venues were Kimmel could be as partisan as he wanted to be.

Who is paying those independent evaluators?

Any way, best way to slow down at the moment is not to IPO.

A few days ago there was a story about how an AI store was failing horribly. It can't do that, but at the same time will destroy us? It's pretty clear that no one has any actual answers or little interest in being honest about the exact capabilities of AI when their bottom line depends on hype or their job position relies on prognosticating doom.

You're discounting the ability of the actor to bring something to the role that the director couldn't envision themselves. The whole point of having casting auditions is so the director can find an actor that either fits their own idea of the part or blows them away with something transformative that they could not have envisioned before seeing it. Not every actor is capable of that and not every part calls for it, but when it does happen it creates something best described as the magic of cinema. If this weren't the case, the phrase "Hello, Clarice" would be completely meaningless to everyone who reads this post, and yet there are some for whom it is not merely memorable, but evokes an entire range of emotions and even causes them to read it in a different voice. Tell me that Anthony Hopkins was just a middle man with a straight face.

I miss pc at power systems.
"Is it off?" was never a question.

Considerably more difficult than you imagine. Between them, they have almost 70 command-line options or flags. Taking into account that many of those behave differently depending on the presence or absence of other flags, there's a couple hundred different code paths. Then you need to handle directories, files, sparse files, sym- and hard-links, on and across different filesystems, not to mention the various file-like things scattered around (pipes, streams, etc.)

It's not rocket science, but neither is it trivial.

We knew that. But now we have proof.

Will anything happen because of that? Nah, I don't think so. A few token gestures maybe. A friendly mail to everyone saying to write better reasons, followed up by an informal mail that tells them to ignore the previous one.

This isn't a mistake. It's intentional. The more arbitrary and uncontrolled the police can act, the more it is feared, the more it is a tool for oppression and not a part of civil society, the more likely the cops will stand on the side of the powerful when there are protests or uprisings against the increasing oppression and economic divide.

I wonder how much of that is based on human actor motion capture used for the animations?

Is this true for animated films too? What about hybrid live action and animated? Animated films that are CGI based rather than hand drawn/painted? Hand drawn that are computer "painted"?

At some point we may have a human writer an a human director, and they prompt an AI. Is that still art? Aren't human words still being brought to life?

While AI will certainly lead to a lot of slop, hollywood is hardly without a lot of slop already.

I also expect that some currently unknown indie writer and director will create something very artistic and enjoyable. As we have had artistic and enjoyable animated films in the past.

AI films are just a new form of animated films. Its all just CGI. Some live action films are already CGI heavy. If too many (?) human characters are AI based then the film falls in the animated category rather than the live action category? Hybrid live action and animated films are not anything new, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "Space Jam", comes to mind, but they go back much farther to the classic disney era.

You are mistaken. The vehicle code refers to a driver being a traffic safety hazard. As a driver distracted by following someone else would be.
