My opinion is that AI will kill Linux eventually. Not now, not when Linus uses it, because Linus knows how to code and is careful. But eventually the crappy vibe-coded junk will seep into the kernel. And then you'll get Microsoft-style code quality issues.

Russian sites like Yandex, Rutube, VKvideo... are great to find porn. But if they go down, I'll take the minor inconvenience for the sake of Ukraine.

More seriously, Yandex has been throttling queries rather aggressively lately, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their compute going up in smoke due to Ukrainian drones.

"And the UK handed you the brand new computer industry on a plate by destroying all the computers it had built during the war while not requiring that you do the same with the licensed copies you had built."

The UK decided to destroy its computers on its own, don't blame us for your idiocy. "Require"? What were you going to "require" we do? And how were you going to enforce this "requirement"?

And what licensed copies are you talking about? Britain shared the Bombe (which was basically an upgraded version of the one the Polish built, but of course Brits insist they're the geniuses who broke Enigma), but ENIAC was a US production.

Title 18 is about crimes, yes, and that's why Title 75's definition of "pedestrian" to include delivery robots doesn't affect what Title 18 calls a crime. Title 75 defines traffic offenses, so now you're arguing that this was more like a ticketed civil infraction. Your original claim was that a more serious crime would apply, and you've serially failed to support that.

No, a good lawyer would explain why unlawful restraint doesn't apply in this case.

Section 2903 seems written such that "another" means a natural person (someone who has "liberty", as a robot generally does not, because it is chattel). PA law classifies delivery robots as pedestrians for the purpose of Title 75 of state law, not as people or "another" under Title 18. Do you have some precedent that says false imprisonment can be committed against a robot?

No law says that, just like no law says you as a pedestrian have the right of way over other pedestrians; it says who must yield the right of way. Regardless of who has the right of way, neither you nor professors are generally allowed to block other pedestrians from proceeding down a sidewalk. In Pennsylvania, it doesn't matter if the other pedestrian is a delivery robot.
