I was hoping at the bottom of the article it would say that Professor Utonium accidentally added Chemical X.

The fines should be proportional to actual damage caused (ie: 100% coverage of any interest on loans, any extra spending the person needed to do in consequence, loss of compound interest, damage to credit rating along with any additional spending this resulted in, and any medical costs that can reasonably be attributed to stress/anxiety). It would be difficult to get an exact figure per person, but a rough estimate of probable actual damage would be sufficient. Add that to the total direct loss - not the money that went through any individual involved, and THEN double that total. This becomes the minimum, not the maximum. You then allow the jury to factor in emotional costs on top of that.

In such cases as this, the statutary upper limit on fines should not apply. SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that laws and the Constitution can have reasonable exceptions and this would seem to qualify.

If a person has died in the meantime, where the death certificate indicates a cause of death that is medically associated with anxiety or depression, each person invovled should also be charged with manslaughter per such case.

I suggest:

First offence: Have to watch CSPAN for 5 hours a day, for a week, without sleeping through it - evidence to be provided in court

Second offence: Have to sing Miley Cyrus songs and Baby Shark on TikTok - sober

Third offence: License to practice and all memberships of country clubs and golf courses revoked

They tried that with Apollo 13. And.... that actually did work, sorta.

That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.

Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.

For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.

Then they should have used Tcl.

"If you've built great apps on any platform and care about crafting meaningful user experiences, I'd love to hear from you." ...so I can remove you as a direct competitor to our slop.

oh I'm forgetting that he as a human lives with something so dangerous to humans that it quickly killed an otherwise very fit and healthy cop just from being accidentally scratched by him?

So Mudinho came from a crashed flying machine that caused the army (and apparently some secret US 3 letter agency) to immediately respond, has feet and hands with 3 digits, leaves tracks matching the same, has large bright red eyes with no pupils, no visible ears, and can even fool a room full of doctors? got it.

No it didnt, it linked to an article on Skeptoid.com.
Besides so what even if it was linked? I suggested the poster watched it.

Assuming it's remotely true (and there's good reason for thinking it isn't), it still means the FBI director was negligent in their choice of personal email provider, that the email provider had incompetent security, and that the government's failure to either have an Internet Czar (the post exists) or to enforce high standards on Internet services are a threat to the security of the nation (since we already know malware can cross airgaps through negligence, the DoD has been hit that way a few times). The FBI director could have copied unknown quantities of malware onto government machines through lax standards, any of which could have delivered classified information over the Internet (we know this because it has also happened to the DoD).

In short, the existence of the hack is a minor concern relative to every single implication that hack has.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Simply download Ollama and run a few cellphone-sized models locally.
you can see exactly how Fing useless this whole idea will be for nearly all cases of trying to get anything useful with ah high degree of inaccuracy from it.
If you're stupid enough to hand any control of your life to Openclaw, then you deserve all the bad things you will inevitably get. Let's just call openclaw "Darwin in action"

No what is un-slashdot worthy is posting a reply while clearly being completely uninformed about the subject.

OK Mr. smarty pants. Please inform yourself about the case, (watching Moment of Contact is a good entree) then you provide a rational alternative hypothesis to us all.
