But generally, yes, loss of use is generally something that courts recognize as a valid claim.
The most charitable interpretation of your statement is that it's a straw man argument. Who said anything about "unfettered illegal immigration"? Even that's an objetively false characterization.

Take the Haitian migrants in Ohio that are currently the victims of intentional blood libel. As an aside, identifying, villifying and demonizing an out-group like this, particularly to intentionally incite violence against them, is a key aspect of fascism.

The objective falsehood here is that they're "illegal immigrants". They're not. They're Temporary Protected Status ("TPS") holders. It is 100% legal and moral to seek asylum.

And then we proceed to the myth of "the center", much like the myth of the "swing voter". What the US has politically is a choice between the far-right and the center-right who have completely capitulated to far-right messaging on immigration.

Every aspect of far-right anti-immigrant messaging is verifiably and objectively false. The latest lie is "they're eating the cats" [1] but there are so many more. The "migrant crime" hysteria is blood libel [2].

Why can't we implement caching on the integrity sha of the library so they can be shared across sites? Sure there is technically an attack vector there but that is pretty easily scannable for tampering by verifying with trusted CDNs.

With something like that you could preload all of the most common libraries in the background.
Festool's ExoActive Exoskeleton
EDIT: This video is full with absurdly comical levels of danger. Anyone attempting to replicate this is creating a literal time bomb. I've written it up on Mastodon as well, so if anyone wants to share some PSA on how to work with batteries without making a bomb, feel free to share [1].

Important note for fellow tinkerers, nearly lost my mind at 2:22: Do not ever solder directly on, or even adjacent to, lithium batteries. Only use spot welders and crimp connections. Once you cut a wire (NEVER cut two wires at once) that leads to a battery, place a Wago clamp on it to make sure it can not short accidentally.

What the guy did at 7:57 is even more inexcusable, one blob of solder misplaced and he'll short the pack. And the tiny main wire, that's NOT going to survive the 30 amps he's gonna pull at 100w out. JESUS. Take the time, install proper connectors, and solder them BEFORE the pack and the PCB are electrically hot.

And also, he left about zero airway for heat to escape. At full load, the inner cells will heat up!

Also, never just take random cells and place them together in a parallel connection. Always measure each individual cell's capacity, only use closely matching cells, always stay 5-10% below the cutoff voltage, and never work with charged cells, only ones with max. 10% charge - only charge cells once they are installed.

And ffs keep a bucket of fine sand nearby when you work with batteries. If a battery makes signs that it is about to go kaboom (it emits smoke, swells up, or catches fire), dump the bucket of sand onto the battery/device, leave the room, close the door and call 911(US)/112(EU).

My university has a space mission ground station.

I wasn't an engineering major, I was a computer science major, but I still asked and was allowed to work evenings in the facility.

I got on the job training from experienced experts on orbital mechanics, the practical operation of spacecraft, and the infrastructure behind space flight activities. I also got to write some software that is used in the command and control of spacecraft.

Going to school gave me access to supercomputers and mainframes, practical hands-on experience that cannot be learned from a book.

Also, my university is somewhat unique in that it has an extremely rigorous writing requirements for all graduates, including creative and business writing. A comment I received multiple times at the beginning of my career is that my writing skills were extremely advanced compared to my peers. This is a double-edged sword because now, decades later, coworkers send me paragraphs to edit before being sent out.

I also minored in studio art, because as a young freshman I figured it was an easy A. Little did I realize that free and easy access to studios, models, screen printing equipment, and photography labs would lead to several lifelong hobbies.

My school also had telescopes I got to use as a member of the astronomy club, and amateur radio equipment far beyond my ability to afford as a member of the ham radio club. There is an exact and precise 0.0% chance that I would have ever gotten to even touch a 20" reflector, high quality CCD cameras, or sophisticated mounts and star trackers without going to school. Ditto for 1.5kW amplifiers and vast fields of specialized antennas for radio communications.

After I realized that staring at an IDE window all day was actual, literal, hell to me I transitioned to being an aerospace engineer. No degree, I just explained to people what I knew and did in school, what programs I had worked on, and they said "good enough, here's a board assembly drawing start spec'ing out space-rated micro- and nano-d connectors for it" and decades later I'm a senior principal engineer designing satellites.

Hell, just understanding what SWR is, what multiplexers and other RF terms meant, and knowing about polarization, propagation, and effective radiated power from my university ham radio club days went a long way to getting me to where I am today.

All of this is possible to learn autodidactically.

It would require a level of income (to gain access to the tools), foresight (to focus on specific subjects relevant to your goals), and drive (to have realistic goals laid out and to actually do it) not typically found in young adults, or old adults.

I assert it is easier, and outcomes are more favorable, if you pay someone to do all of this for you.

My perspective may be warped. I used the GI Bill and paid $0.00 for all of this. But if I had to pay the $54k it cost it would have been worth it 100 times over (I make a lot of money now).
The thing I loved about the PS5, above all else, is that basically every game has a “performance mode” aka 60fps. I appreciate there are lots of people out there who don’t care about 30fps, but the ps5 generation gave us the choice.

Furthermore, almost all the games I played on PS5 were PS4 games that now ran butter smooth.
No, not at all. GPUs are the key to enabling all that. Kernels are just some glue running in there. Most of the NVIDIA goodness is actually in userspace. You could just as well say that electricity or HVAC is the key.

MGSV is just a good looking game. It's one of those Yoshi's Island titles that will look good whether it's the day of release or 50 years into the future. Characters are well-designed, setpieces are pulpy and full of cold war personality, and the cinematics are all handled with that loving Kojima madness players have craved since MGS1. It really feels like a game that cost 80 million dollars to make, even though the version we all played is technically not even finished!

The real question (to me, at least) is how willing the games industry is to support total direction. I don't usually encourage one-man-band style development, but amidst all the paint-by-numbers Ubisoft titles I genuinely fear the design-by-committee releases. For games to be interesting again, we need to branch out from the current homogeneous identity of quicktime events and cinematics the length of a four course dinner. People gotta make games, again.

> hire professional fakers and let them drive the company into the ground.

This sounds like someone who is looking for someone to blame. If founder after founder is having this problem what are the odds that there is something else going on and perhaps the reports are doing exactly what the founder is rewarding?

I see in a lot of tech companies is a system where all the incentives are about getting promoted. IC's are trying to build things that look big and complex and "hard". Future maintenance burden, product impact, etc are difficult to measure and also super easy to game. All that matters is that they might get promoted so they can jump teams and do it again. Managers are promoted based on headcount and do everything they can to keep reports and grow like weeds. A dysfunctional org? Yes please, let me triple it in size to solve the problem, we have the money and this org is important, and I become important in the process. Sure some (not all) might need to grow the top line by X%, but in a growing industry/product category/company that might be the default so the focus is again on growing their career. They spend all their time on hiring and annual reviews and promo committees and almost no time on actual strategy. And getting rid of under performers was difficult and as long of a process as possible because there was no incentive to make that simple.

As long at the tide rises all boats and the CEO rewards this behavior everyone plays this game. When the water starts flowing out suddenly you have a CEO looking around going wtf when everyone did exactly what they incentivized.
Skydio had a gimmick, but camera, stabilization, range, radio and price were all worse than dji. There is a reason Ukrainians crowdsource donations for DJI even when their units get assigned Skydio drones funded directly by US DOD. DJI is simply better.

I really wish developers on consoles would just accept what kind of performance consoles really offer. There isn't a single reason a game should be 30fps these days if that game tests your motor skills in any way. If you can't hit a locked 60fps target, you need to reassess your visuals.

Hearing that 2/3 PS users are switching to 60fps, away from a default of 30fps is really interesting. You can have the best screenshots in the world, but if your game doesn't run well people can tell.
Indeed. We would have been sitting with our measly treasury bills, without a care in the world

As I founnd out myself, there is almost no tinkering involved once you get the initial Arch setup done. Just update once a week. Fedora repos have considerably fewer packages than Arch or Debian. For some reason Redhat land has always been off putting for me. SELinux, dropping docker in favor of podman, CentOS debacle are just a few things that make me look elsewhere. I'm glad you found your sweetspot though. Just a friendly banter from a fellow Linux user.
I would love to see some footage off that in a throw - I would expect a blurry mess.

With panono, they captured a single shot at the highest point in a throw. In daylight, short exposure time. Only when throwing straight up without strong rotation.

With (uncooled) microbolometers you can't have a short exposure times and might end up with 20-30msec effective exposure. This thing might be harder to throw up straight without rotation. Throwing through a windows or rolling? Please show me that this does not give a blurry mess, but gives useful images!
Demo footage suspiciously missing...

Edit: I stand corrected - the spot video does not contain thermal but shows NIR images. One can see some point projections from a depth sensor?
I wonder what the creative spark even is in the context of an autoregressive transformer.

Perhaps it’s an ability to confabulate facts into the context window which are not present in the training data but which are, in the context of maths, viable hypotheses? Every LLM can generate bullshit, but maybe we just need the right bullshit?
or maybe innovation in gameplay has stopped. hence why the same franchises rule.

something to appreciate about Nintendo, they don't focus on graphics but gameplay through level design, game mechanics etc.

> ‘Able to make the same creative mathematical leaps as Terence Tao’ seems like a pretty high bar to be setting for AI.

There's no need to try to infer this kind of high bar, because what he says is actually very specific and concrete: "Here the result was mildly disappointing ... Essentially the model proposed the same strategy that was already identified in the most recent work on the problem (and which I restated in the blog post), but did not offer any creative variants of that strategy." Crucially the blog post in question was part of his input to ChatGPT.

Otherwise, he's been clear that while he anticipates a future where it is more useful, at present he only uses AI/ChatGPT for bibliography formatting and for writing out simple "Hello World" style code. (He is, after all, a mathematician and not a coder.) I've seen various claims online that he's using ChatGPT all the time to help with his research and, beyond the coding usage, that just seems to not be true.

(However, it's fair to say that "able to help Terence Tao with research" is actually a high bar.)
I wouldn't put the kernel on the same footing as a nuclear power plant. A power plant is designed, the Linux kernel is accreted, like a stalagmite. It's a testament to the power of open source that something useful can come out of that process. Amazing, in fact. But the newsworthiness of the kernel is overstated, in my view.

It generates some customer loyalty, on average, which does impede, somewhat, outright buying of customers or enticing them with lower to free prices.

Of course loyalty is not perfectly sticky, nor can it ever be, but then again enticements can not be perfectly attractive either.
Since Waymo is very heavily California-biased at this point, a possible explanation for this, and one I think is responsible for a lot of rear-end collisions all across the world, is the "California roll." For those unfamiliar, in California (and, again, almost everywhere) it's super typical for people to approach a stop sign and not actually come to a complete stop. Instead, the driver slows down and then continues to "roll" through the stop. Many drivers here in CA expect the driver in front of them to do the California roll and so their calculation of when they will reach the actual stop sign/line will be wrong if they assume the car in front of them will roll.

I've said this on here many times before, but one of the reasons I love riding in Waymos is because they (in my experience) obey all traffic laws to the letter of the law. So if there's a stop sign, they all stop.

Would love to know the specifics of these rear-end collisions because I'd bet that they're either California rolls at stop signs or doing the same roll behavior when turning right on red traffic lights.
No it isn’t a sustainable business, because the competitive landscape, which it has to be sustained in, would now also include this group out to get you for whatever reasons, for some unknown period of time.
- If you just run the previous generation of games on the newer graphics, it's only a tiny bit better. But games designed for this generation will have more of a difference. Ultimately, it's all about giving the creators more freedom in making the game. Amazing games have been made with much less capability than today.

- You're going to get another big jump in graphics and immersiveness once the current neural rendering techniques are productionized. (though PS5 Pro probably isn't going to be important for that.)

Honestly this level of philosophy is just people arguing about things that are too poorly defined to have a concrete answer.

It's like arguing about how many organs there are, or exactly where space begins. Best just to let the philosophers debate whether it's 60 miles or 100 km.

Unless your spread sheet can calculate unit tests, then it can combine tests in combinatorial fashion, and build Weinerstrauss test monsters.
( I am kidding on this last point, Spreadsheets will never operate in fractional dimensions. )

If, of course, you can calculate rule 110/124, then your spread sheet can be considered Turing complete.

Digging a hole and covering it at a cost of $22 trillion will double America's GDP overnight. But it doesn't create value for anyone.

All it does is transfer money to the contractor doing the digging (in America's case, the military-industrial complex) while everyone else becomes poorer.

$8 trillion has been spent on the War on Terror so far. Like I said in another comment, that's enough money to build 80 million $100k homes, or reduce America's debt by 25%, or pay off all student loans, or build 400,000 KM of high-speed rail at $20M/km, or give every American taxpayer a one-time check of $48k, etc.

Every bomb dropped on Afghanistan or Iraq was money diverted from something else useful the US could have done.

Framerate aside, a good percentage of modern TVs have abysmal latency. I recently played the original Super Monkey Ball 2 on a gamecube hooked up to a CRT and was shook; that sort of precision would never fly on modern hardware.

Game mode helps, but only somewhat, it does not generally solve the issue.

For this reason, as far as tight gameplay goes, my money's on devices like the Switch.
Miscarriages must occur because our DNA is constantly mutating. Some of those mutations will be so harmful that the new organism cannot even survive until birth.
