Isn't this the opening to a few of those "virus destroys humanity" movies?

It would help but probably you'd still owe something. Business & Professions Code § 5412 is the current controlling statute, and that is a codification of what the courts have requ…

In a lot of places, they have been banned since 1978. They have not gone extinct.

This is just wrong. It's not a government problem - it's a constitutional one - Banning existing billboards is considered both a first amendment problem, and a takings problem. Doi…

"In any other business choosing (2) would mean someone else swoops in and steals all your business. It doesn't look like this is at all possible for memory fabs." FWIW - Lots of pe…

Corn is heavily subsidized,also has (in the US) federally prvided insurance programs against plunging prices, has paid uselessness(ethanol). Despite all of this corn has caused mas…

You can't in california, actually. While you can generally restrict new ones, you can't eliminate existing ones without basically paying out the lost revenue+etc to whoever is runn…

It's what the vast majority of software engineers have been doing for decades in practice, and i guess pretending they weren't? They only seem to care now because it affects them.

Both are very smart. But Jeff was responsible for a lot more of what is actually used today than Demis. Demis is responsible for a lot more of the hype though ;) I think saying Jef…

So they are fixing this by letting go of the people who were best at the research side, and therefore will have no problem converting "nothing" into products anymore!

I still don't understand exactly which facts you think any of this would change and cause it to be criminal negligence. I will state a fairly blunt position: Unless literally nobod…

The existence of alternatives would generally not be enough for criminal negligence. Making mistakes of reasoned judgement are basically never criminal negligence. In every state i…

Generally, yes, sandboxing would be a defense, because criminal negligence (again, it's state specific, so this is a law-school-level generalization) requires "gross deviation from…

I'm not sure why you don't believe it? It's literally true? I guess if you want to believe it, go study law? I'm not really sure what to say there. Negligence is not a crime, it's …

Some states have autonomous vehicle statutes and some don't. Let's assume the case none of them do, since it sounds like you are asking about "what would happen in the case this is…

Lawyer here: This part does not require a new law. Even though agents are not agents in the principal/agent legal sense (because agents have to be human), for the purposes of crimi…

Lawyer here. Not quite. Agents in the principal/agent sense have to be human. However, every court to have ever considered it have held the human/company driving the agent responsi…

Whenever someone writes "with hand-written bindings" I read "will stop working 8 minutes after the next release"

It's getting downvoted in part because it's pedantic and wrong. It is totally true that they don't think like humans, but this is mostly irrelevant. The token outputs will change a…

This is true but fairly pedantic. It would be more accurate to say the word predictions the model makes based on the input text will likely be closer to the ones that were made fro…

+10000 I was literally told in one of the comments i made about how difficult a lot of the changes were, for very little practical gain: "the new API WILL require you to rethink yo…

My guess is someone was going to release a very unflattering article about them so they tried to get ahead of it by doing this

Yeah I have been playing with 3d printing nylon and pps versions because pure pe filament are harder to find. They also often have really really poor layer adhesion and crazy level…

I have a weird use case, but this is actually wildly useful to me. I use teflon (sometimes nylon, but mostly teflon) painter pyramids/holders/etc, because i spray finish stuff that…

This website often suggests totally bad ideas, like brittle epoxies for bonds they shouldn't be used for. The truth is nowadays you can just choose your favorite brand and they alm…
