Indeed. I built a Raspberry Pi Pico based controller for some flashing LEDs on my drone. It has red and blue LEDs and I wanted them to flash with the cycle of three short flashes then a pause; alternately the red LEDs then the blue LEDS. Took barely a minute to code that in python and dump it onto the board. In such cases it doesn't matter that the language is interpreted because the task is not demanding of the hardware.
The "Police Drone" still flies to this day!
How interesting it would be to do a drive-around with an open wifi hotspot in the car -- just to see how many LG TV sets try to connect and find out what data they send.
Just saying, for a friend
Informing a woman, her menstrual period is late, is a mixed blessing in some countries: The government would like to get its hands on that data, in order to enforce its religious in-sensibilities upon her. Women with an Apple watch need to worry how committed Apple is, to privacy: If the government demands such data is forwarded to the government, Apple will fold faster than a cheap suit.
To be able to deny this to theocratic neofascist governments like Texas, the data is not available to Apple - it is stored encrypted on the device, and protected with end to end encryption so Apple can't read it. Easier to just subpoena all cell records of fertile women, and see if they are near women's health care locations out of state. Or just deny them the possibility of leaving the state at all.
Not a lawyer, but I don't think intent is necessary for it to be criminal. Negligence and can also have severe consequences that can be criminal.
"Negligence" isn't a magic word that you can say to remove intentionality requirement from any crime law, as you seem to think it is.
"Negligence"/"carelessness" vs "intent" is a difference between manslaughter and premeditated murder, to give one example.
Another: Let's say that you run a popular bar, and you've neglected a lot of regulations - a fire happens, and many die. You can and should be held accountable for that, even if you didn't intend to kill them.
"Carelessness", not "can". Looked ok when I pressed submit.

Yes... we could destroy Putin's nuclear torpedo before it even made it to the UK coast!
How long before the labels start going after new artists that sound like existing ones?
You know, where someone is "inspired" by a singer, a band or a songwriter that they've idolized for years and thus their own creations are heavily influenced by those artists?
If there's a chance for a new Lambo or Porsche in the corporate car park at EMI or WMG you *know* they'll be working on such law suits right now!
I've also wondered why there's no restriction on voice-actors who impersonate famous people -- but if you do it with AI then you are right in the firing line.
If a search for "playdate" comes up with objectionable shit, that says a lot about how your behavior has driven your search algorithm.
It's easy to read it as "playmate"- which were the unsafe pages in a magazine we read for the articles. Obviously.
Because he is not (currently) a dictator, he can't make his own laws. He's limited in what he can do.
Tariffs are one of the few things in which he is mostly able to do unilaterally. When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
To be fair, the Supreme Court judged that Trump does not have that authority. The Supreme Court that has enough corrupt members that his executive order trying to annul the fourteenth amendment was struck down just 6-3 rather than the obvious 9-0 with a comment describing how to actually change the constitution.
I'd also add an SDR to that kit... opens up a whole new world if you're needing it for a survivalist or prepper situation.
A cheap RTLSDR stick and wire antenna will do the job fine with one of the many SDR programs that'll run on the Pi.
Not going to happen!!!
Amazon is hoping to fly 80lb behemoths over populated areas to drop things from about 12 feet -- while all-too-often crashing into things. Of course to be fair, how could a drone possibly avoid an apartment building or a crane (twice). Last time it was a ladder strapped to the roof of a van.
These things are not only dangerous but hugely uneconomic. Nothing beats a gig-worker on an ebike!
In this case, it's a different kind of memory - High Bandwidth Memory, HBM.
I think the problem is that the first step is actually "Make an expensive system that's free to use, that we don't know how to sustainably pay for."
Prices of video games have gone down, when adjusting for inflation. Looking at a couple of games from the 90s - TIE fighter in the mid nineties cost 50 USD, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 launching around 2000 had similar pricing. Adjusted for inflation, that's around 100 USD (slightly more) today.
I believe part of the reason for this is digital frontends resulting in a larger proportion going to the developer/publisher - about 50% went to the store, physical production, and physical distribution, now they get to keep 70% or more.
Here's an article from 2010 demonstrating this... and incredibly, prices have stayed stable since then.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
