California Penal Code 399: If an owner knows their animal is dangerous or mischievous, fails to keep it under control, and it kills a person, the owner commits a felony. If only serious injury occurs, it is a wobbler (depends on extent of injury as to whether misdemeanor or felony charges get pressed.)

No state completely lacks a legal mechanism to penalize or hold owners civilly or criminally negligent in this case, and most states explicitly have criminal statues covering this.

Are you just being willfully obtuse or what?

Using a GPU versus a CPU (as was done here) increases how quickly you can churn through those remaining possible permutations (I read the actual paper.)

What was done on an academic CPU cluster could probably be just as easily performed on a well-tuned bitcoin rig at far far faster speed.

Corporations with no physical presence here to NOT have to comply with US law, moron.

However, if tehy sell a product in the US, tehy do have at least an economic nexus, and DeepSeek certainly does, which is teh company I was referring to.

Of course, the US government has a bit more reach than most, so not complying could mean facing lockouts from the global financial systems. You think I give a rat's ass that my website isn't compliant with EU privacy laws even though an EU citizen can reach it?

That of course, is teh challenge with teh transnational nature of teh internet. There isn't a whole lot teh EU could do if tehy decided a foreign website violated tehir laws, beyond say requiring ISPs to block your website, unless of course they sold stuff to EU citizens. Teh question I posed is an economic nexus enough to trigger Constitutional protections?

Which is way everyone gets rich, but a movie never makes money. Only a fool takes a cut of the gross Smart money gets a cut of the net.

Uhh.... no, you have it backwards. The gross money is the amount BEFORE the accounting shenanigans; the net is AFTER. A percentage of the net could be nothing after Hollywood accounting.

I recall Sir Alec Guinness getting about 2% of the gross for Star Wars. He made a LOT of money from that.

Yea, you are right, my bad. Should not drink and post...

That is absolute and utter bullshit. It MIGHT be the case if DeepSeek had offices and/or facilities in the US. It does NOT. Merely offering services in the US doesn't get you anything.

I'm not sure United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez aapplies like you think it does. If that were teh case, any foreign corporation without a physical/substantial presence do not have to comply with US law even if tehy offer services in the US, or foreign banks comply with US reporting laws on US citizens.

United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez was about a search and seizure of a non-US citizen in a foreign country. Teh question is does offering services in the US via teh web and charging for tehm establish enough of a presence to be afforded Constitutional protection?
