The lawsuit is far more nuanced than you're letting on. There are several aspects that come into play-

* Was it published publicly? This is basically defined in the courts as "if you make an unauthenticated web request does the data return?". This is where scraping comes in- if you make the data available without authentication you can't enforce your TOS, because you can't validate that people actually even accepted the TOS to begin with.

* Is the data able to be copyrighted? This is where things are interesting- facts can not be copyrighted, which is why a lot of scrapers are able to reuse data (things like weather, sports scores, even "for hire" notices can be considered factual).

* If it would typically be considered covered by copyright, does fair use come into play?

* Are there any other laws that come into play? For example, GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws can still add restrictions to how data is collected and used (this is complicated by the various jurisdictions as well)

* Was the work done with the data transformative enough to allow it to bypass copyright protections? This goes back to when Google was scanning books. Because they were making a search engine, not a library, their search tool was considered transformative enough to allow them to continue.

It's not enough to say "because it's on the internet, it's fair game for everyone to use". This is a really complicated area where things are evolving rapidly, and there's a lot of intersecting law (and case law) that comes into play.

Consumers decide product success, not VCs.

If there is demand, the product will succeed. See: all the companies that came from bootstrapped startups.

If there is no demand, no amount of VC money will make a successful company. See: Magic Leap.

"while the software is a little clunky at times"

Are you talking about Garmin Express?

If so, a "little clunky" would be a massive understatement based on my experience...

I love my Garmin watch, but I wish the Garmin software was lot more...usable.
> What mechanisms would be in place to allow me to transfer money from my KYC bank account to an anonymous wallet without it being tracked?

I really doubt that they intend do use it, but zero-knowledge cryptography indeed can accomplish this, so there is no technical limitation afaik.

> If the max is €3000 but it's entirely private, how could they possibly know I don't have a higher balance or multiple wallets?

This gets trickier. Let's say we limit to 3000 per account (and use whatever else to limit accounts/person). This would be possible, but would also reveal the amount on the account: try to send decreasing amounts, first one that succeeds reveals previous balance. There's probably an entity that can simulate sending too.

> What tech is even being used to allow fully private, offline transactions in the first place? How does the receiver verify that the digital cash is legit? And how does the network ensure that the money wasn't double spent while offline?

Yeah, this one is impossible.

Article titles which specify the plaintiff classroom amount are a good indicator of poor journalism.

You can usually disregard such articles as you can expect biased/incomplete reporting.

Lawsuit claim amounts have zero bearing on reality. They must be specified in any classroom, but lawyers just always specify massive amounts without justification.

Any reporting on this amount indicates ignorance in the system or intentional dishonesty.
IIRC, One of the concerns raised with that carbon fiber construction approach was that in case the hull was damaged during a previous mission, they had no equipment to detect that, so it could have been only a matter of time before accumulated fatigue could lead to a catastrophic failure.

Determining whether a particular driver is driving properly seems overkill. Any correlation between driving behavior and insurance payouts seems like it would be sufficient to improve the accuracy of your risk scores.

Let's say you only analyze vehicle speed data. That is clearly insufficient for training self-driving.

But it is very likely there is some correlation between speed and insurance payouts. For example, say you are able to segment your customer base including one subset with drivers who typically drive >80 miles an hour and another subset with drivers who typically drive <55 miles per hour. Are you saying that you would predict that the two populations have identical risk profiles? That speed data has no correlation with risk?
Have we reached the (Generative AI) peak?
I worked at an org that did prototyping and it was fantastic. It was especially great for validating if a customer actually wanted the feature they were asking for (they often didn't). We _always_ threw away the work and started fresh if they did want it. What really helped keep us honest here was that we TDD and pair programmed. We also prioritized getting the prototype finished as quickly as possible. This meant writing really horrible code, calling variables and functions things like `foo`, and breaking other features if necessary.
There are very few exclusions for auto insurance. Unless you're using your car for a business without telling them or committing fraud, you're almost guaranteed to be covered. The whole point of car insurance is to insure your negligence.
Very interesting. How would this language, or similar systems, deal with lemmas that are true for real numbers but not always true for floats?

Texas' statewide politicians are all Republicans, and climate denialism is the official position of the Republican party. We withdrew from the Paris accords, and it's impossible to establish a national climate policy. It's less about any one project as that all projects that require legislation are dead on arrival.

It's hard to separate out the effects behind the scenes, but it's clear that Texas lawmakers are making promises about it.

That was a simulated payload for a test flight. SpaceX actually has an extensive testing, certification, and quality assurance process.

Um, yeah. If you compare an honest, well-managed public-owned basic utility to one which is run by "greed is the one true God" capitalists - obviously it's gonna be night vs. day.

Python itself was designed with the intent of pressuring programmers to write Python in one specific way. The problems that crop up in large Python codebases are probably the result of using Python outside of its intended scope of scripting and toy programs.
I don't see this has a hot take. A couple weeks ago a car intentionally rammed into me from behind.

I called 911 and the police took 30 minutes to arrive on the scene. The officer talked to me for about 3 minutes and then threw up their hands and said they wouldn't do anything because I didn't have a plate number and couldn't identify the driver.

The police didn't even want to bother trying to get footage from nearby cameras when I called back and noted the location of several nearby security cameras that might have picked up the vehicle.

By some miracle, I wasn't seriously injured.
I really want to love Elden Ring, as I love pretty much everything else From Software put out. And it looks great, there's a lot of cool mechanics in there and some dungeons that are as well made as a soulsborne area. But I just don't like the open world aspects and all the cookie cutter dungeons. While the world doesn't feel empty per se, it feels like there's a really good Dark Souls game in there, buried in an ocean of mediocre dungeons and overly easy and generic boss fights(frustratingly, many of them would be really tricky if they just had more HP).

I just couldn't get past the second region. Not due to difficulty but boredom. Out of probably tens of bosses I killed before giving up on the game, only two were actually challenging fights where I had to figure put the ins and outs. The rest I could just sort of run and do damage so quickly they'd barely get a few moves in.

In short, I think Elden Ring was a bit of a departure into quantity over quality and I hope they go back to making really tight, stripped down action RPGs again, where every area is more engaging and difficult than the previous.
In many ways. It means taking active steps in making the victims feel welcome and safe in the place they were in. How would you feel if after being mugged by a close friend, others would tell you to let justice work its way (for 6 months) and stay really close with said friend ?

It's about giving support, about supporting the victims and being with them, it's about ensuring that the two of them are separated. Otherwise, not only does the victim lose trust in one friend, they also lose everything else. Nobody is asking you to go at the accused and beat them up. They're asking you to act as a buffer, as a safety net. It means questioning and grilling said accused because, hey, this other friend (that you trust, right?) has accused them of fucked up things. And yes, it means spending less time with the accused. Because you know what ? The rate of false accusations is extremely low.

It doesn't hail as widely as it rains (at least in the Dallas area). It tends to dump hail across a couple neighborhoods per storm, while the rain my fall across all of Dallas and Fort Worth (hundreds of square miles).

Even withing the areas where hail falls, most of it won't be the giant hailstones. Once it gets below the size of a quarter cars and roofs are generally safe.

But yes, it regularly totals cars and destroys roofs. They'll send out an army of adjusters and roofers will swarm the area looking for work.

Don't be an insurance company specializing in just one city in Texas or you can be wiped out in one storm.

That was a rumor that the mother has debunked. She has come out and said that she was supposed to go with her husband, but gave up her seat to her son because he really wanted to go. I'm not sure this makes it better for the mother, but at least he was willing.
It's funny how the pendulum swings. 10-15 years ago sticking your neck our and advocating for static types was like painting a target on your back. Everything was about dynamic languages, Ruby was the coolest of cool, and people who waved the placard of high level types, type inference, etc. from the ML/Haskell cool were seen on the whole as impractical academic ivory tower types, cloistered around Lambda The Ultimate...

When I advocated for the importance of static typing for software robustness the response I got from many other industry people I knew was that this was the job of intensive unit testing. That the supposed loss of rapid turnaround that came with static types wasn't worth it, and that test-first-design solved this problem.

Now Typescript and Rust are common place, and we have Pythonistas annotating their programs with types. I'm happy, but maybe a bit bitter about the past :-)
Do you offer a cloud version as well? Congrats, looks like a lot of open source communities might need this!
California is the only state that has active data privacy laws. Although, I don't think there's any financial transactions, it's just public data scraping. I wonder if the company can even be held liable for the output of these LLMs. There's no direct hosting of any static data.

At worst you have to ensure that you separate what needs to be writeable from executable, and then flip mappings RW->RX when generating new code, just like other JIT compilers do.
No. Respectfully, I do not share these concerns because we have grounded our approach in neuroscience of motivation rather than philosophical lore. By following the psychology of positive dopamine conditioning, we are helping children fall in love with reading, developing reading as a life long habit and helping them see real measurable results month over month (in just 4 months, comprehension went up by 70 percent, phonics by 40% and the average kid is reading for 40 minutes a day when they used to read less than 5 minutes daily).

These numbers have real impact. What the impact data I shared above will not show you is that our kids parents comment on the confidence their child develops after 2 months on the app. How they go from never raising their hand to speak in the weekly live to being eager to answer every question and be part of all discussions about the book in the weekly live meetup with their cohort in the app.

These numbers have real impact. Kids in the app are not rewarded with any use or monetary prize beyond their first tournament. Yet after the first month, reading levels do not drop and growth in phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary and comprehension still keep increasing (students have to do A LOT of work in the app beyond just reading. There is full reading courseware with quizzes, worksheets and mini lessons - our courseware is built on the Science Of Reading philosophy).

These numbers have real impact. Most of our parents could never get their children to take up reading. We don't just motivate kids with flashy use promotional tournament prizes. We turn movies into full n books and cartoons. All shot and filmed in our downtown Brooklyn studio. We have directors, producers, actors, recording artists and more - all to bring a book to life on screen. Children unlock episodes by doing the required daily reading and reading courseware. We are committed to making kids feel learning is fun. THAT is the intrinsic motivation we see as our duty to cultivate.

To reference The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson (because why not), all of these concerns were part of the Primer's issues with Nell in the Diamond Age. Yet, when Miranda (via the Primer) realized Nell was not intrinsically motivated, they used tactics like bringing the subject matter to life enacted experiences or gamification like solving puzzles to motivate her. And in the end, it worked. She went from being a girl in extreme poverty with no interest in learning to becoming successful and the leader of her Phyle (tribe).

We are creating enabling environments to promote learning. It works. It is grounded in the neuroscience of motivation. As for the rest, I will let the philosophers philosophize.
There is no such thing as material that is "bulletproof", only varying levels of bullet resistance can be certified to specific and highly complex applications of materials or combinations of materials.

You know how car safety is complex and isn't solely attributable to any one system or component, like a seatbelt, or airbags, but rather the combined effects of the whole system of components, in that specific application? Bullet resistance is similar.

My idea for this is basically an enormous, rail-guided heavy, metal garage door that can be raised remotely to cover the entire installation from above. You could even power it with a small power reserve battery that got recharged from the panels, have it automatically get raised when the barometric pressure went too low or after a weather alert for hail came in, etc.

Trying to engineer resistance into the panels for the top 0.1% most extreme hail load is going to increase the cost for everyone, including those who never even get pea-sized hail. Seems wasteful to me.

Yep it's Word exported to pdf. Source: Am attorney, do this all the time. You write it up in Word, save as pdf. Then upload it to the court website, which (in federal court, at least) puts the case number in blue text at the top for the officially-filed version.

The 1-28 pleading numbers on the side are annoying. They're specific to courts in California and a few other jurisdictions, and the rules of court require them. But many other courts don't have them, and they only help to cite specific lines within pages; eg "Complaint 5:4-9" means "Complaint at page 5, at lines 4 to 9". It's occasionally useful for court filings like this, but more useful for court/deposition transcripts of testimony to show precisely where a witness said something.

Related: I tried building an RNN to generate legal pleadings back around 2018/19 and gathered a bunch of docs like this from courts across the country as training data. Processing text with those pleading numbers was a pain, so I built a CNN to classify whether a document had pleading numbers or not, which affected downstream processing. Probably the wrong approach in a bunch of ways, but I was just learning.
If quoted string is the only thing you need to handle extra (i.e. no escaped quotes, newlines, etc) and if you have GNU awk:

$ echo '"foo","bar,baz"' | awk -v FPAT='"[^"]*"|[^,]*' '{print $1}'
"foo"
$ echo '"foo","bar,baz"' | awk -v FPAT='"[^"]*"|[^,]*' '{print $2}'
"bar,baz"

I'm sure it's due to lack of standardization on the early web, but the really wild thing to me is that there are both client-side and server-side image maps (both still specified in HTML5). With the former, the various regions of the image are defined within the HTML and more or less act like regular links. With the latter, the client sends the coordinates to the server and gets redirected, so the user has no idea which pixels correspond to which URL.
(Legally) Acts of God may invalidate any contract, including insurance contracts.

However they have to be natural ("God did it") not man-made, and they have to be unforeseeable, so "This only happens every ten years" won't count, but "Suddenly central Paris disappeared into a previously unknown volcano" would be an Act of God.

If you're in Tornado Alley, and your house gets destroyed by a tornado, your insurer can't be like "Act of God, our tornado insurance doesn't cover that" because that's no act of god, that's just weather where you live.

I didn't read the original paper[0] but it is based on the Debian Benchmark Game[1] as it was in 2017 and the game relies on user submitted code for each language separately, so most likely when the researchers checked the results, the TypeScript tests didn't have as optimized tests as the JavaScript tests - which makes sense as the latter is way more popular than the former, so there are less people to bother with it (and in fact the benchmarks nowadays do not include TypeScript at all).

You can confirm it via archive.org too: the TypeScript[2] page shows both less implementations and the implementations that are shown are often slower than those in the JavaScript[3] page.

As for if that makes sense, well, IMO using the benchmark game for judging how good a language is at optimizations is flawed in the first place as not only there is a bias towards the more popular languages but also a lot of the top entries use approaches that in practice you wouldn't find in real projects.
