  • If my family hired an actor to impersonate me at my killer’s trial and give a prepared speech about how I felt about the situation it would be thrown out of court.

    If my family hired a cartoonist or movie studio to create a moving scene with my face recreated by digital artists and a professional voice actor to talk about my forgiveness for my death, it would be thrown out of court.

    That they used a generative program to do it and the Judge allowed the video to influence the sentence as if it were a statement by the deceased is deeply troubling.

    Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

    There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.

    Their footnote section is doing a lot of work.

    1 In some countries and regions taxes are included in the total price displayed. The total price including taxes is always displayed prior to checkout.

    They also either don’t know how notations work, or the AI they’re using to generate this doesn’t because it has a separate footnote with that same sentence later on.

    I would be thoroughly unsurprised if some EU or other regulation came into effect so that they have to do this, and now they’re taking credit for being consumer friendly.



  • This is/was letting a contract expire. It’s not something that was brought up to the level of congress. Up until the last few years of supreme court decisions agencies were founded with broad powers in their domains, including discontinuing sub-programs.

    That’s how it’ supposed to work. None of this has been brought to a vote, which would give Democrats the opportunity to oppose it. For “some reason” congressional Republicans are continuing their prior strategy while being a majority and having the leadership of just, not doing things.


  • Remember how after SARS universities started researching novel vaccine creation methods and that research lead to an extremely rapid development and response to COVID when more traditional vaccines would have taken several more years. But none of that was obviously profitable so there were no companies interested in doing that kind of research?

    You know how nMRI and CRT machines are really neat but they didn’t exist because we didn’t understand physics enough to use giant spinning magnets and radioactive isotopes to see inside people without cutting them open. And how there wasn’t a commercial use for those kind of low energy particles so existing reactors were just disposing of them as waste?

    That kind of stuff.
