Taking the judges decision at face value here is fundamentally the problem - because it relies largely on Alex Jones as an arbiter of reality.

The judge seems to take Jones, the guy who lost the auction, as the arbiter of what happened. That is a problem and not just because of the strong potential for bias, and not just because the trustee would be a more obvious source of truth - because he ran the auction. Its a problem at a deeper level because the judge seems set on taking Alex Jones as a good faith actor. Every step in the court process has shown that not to be true. We aren't here randomly and this bankruptcy doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Even setting aside that nonsense. THe judge seems confused on the difference between money and value. Thats the type of thing an undergrad gets wrong.
How does it compare with the "usual suspects"? I mean Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, and Puppeteer.
You most likely have rights to access messages and notes about your account and person in CRM. Or directly related to it.

On other hand you likely do not have right to get all emails or chat messages even if your name is mentioned. As this is not discovery like in legal process.

This is only my non-lawyer option.
So is Laravel which is pretty massive in its own right. Then with more large scale systems, Symfony is popular. PHP is a thriving ecosystem while other languages seem to have fewer options overall.
Generally, undefined behavior removes the need for systematically checking for special cases, the most common being out of bounds access.

But it can go further than that. Dereferencing a NULL pointer is undefined behavior, so if a pointer is dereferenced, it can be assumed by the compiler not to be NULL and the code can be optimized. For example:

void foo(int *p) {
*p++;
if (p == NULL) {
printf("val is NULL\n");
} else {
printf("val is %d\n", *p);
}
}

can be optimized to:

void foo(int *p) {
*p++;
printf("val is %d\n", *p);
}

Note that static analyzers will most likely issue a warning here as such a trivial case is most likely a mistake. But the check for NULL may be part of an inline function that is used in many places, and thanks to the undefined behavior, the code that handles the NULL case will only be generated when relevant. The problem, of course, is that it assumes that the programmer knows what he is doing and doesn't make mistakes.

In the case of memcpy(NULL, NULL, 0), there probably isn't much to gain making it undefined. It most likely doesn't help with the memcpy implementation (len=0 is a generally no-op), and inference based on the fact that the arguments can't be NULL is more likely to screw the programmer up than to improve performance.

Yes, that clause/phrase restricts the company's rights with respect to their license to your data. Essentially, a clause like that is necessary for users to interact with the service. Makes sense when you think about it, how can they provide service if they can't use the data you provide them?

It's a pretty typical clause you'll see in most SaaS policies.

If we extend the definition of "computing" slightly to include "coding and cryptography", then I find superdense coding quite exciting [0]. In a hypothetical quantum internet we could encode and transmit two classical bits in every qubit, which effectively doubles your bandwidth. There's also quantum key distribution [1]. In principle, quantum theory allows Alice and Bob to establish a shared private key which cannot be broken without breaking the laws of physics. You can chat privately with people secure in the knowledge that not even the NSA can possibly be listening.

When was the last time he was profiting from Sandy Hook conspiracies? I heard him apologize for it years ago and say he doesn't believe it.

And true crime podcasts definitely do cause harm, the fans of those shows love playing vigilante detective, stalking and harassing people close to the case to get information. I remember a few years ago there was an incident where they were protesting outside of some guy's house because he was a suspect in his girlfriend's disappearance, so he couldn't even go outside. True crime is an entire industry monetizing tragedies in realtime on a scale the Sandy Hook conspiracies never came anywhere close to.

Ther Is a New a New AI Technology (Data AI),?
I have some insider information about an upcoming data AI that functions like a data scientist. You can ask it anything, and it will provide a fully detailed response with studies and data in the form of charts and tables ...ect . I’ve seen some footage, and I can tell that it’s truly impressive. They’re currently in the fundraising stage, and I believe this will be the next big thing. Just wanted to share this technology with you all

They do? For many years, I made my living from YouTube. This was always a feature that people wanted, but that didn’t exist. It’s been a year-plus since I’ve actively engaged on YouTube as a creator. Is this a recent change?
Explain what you mean? The color cyan exists on the physical spectrum, but the color magenta does not. Meaning, if colours are perceived inversely, then how would the color magenta physically enter the eye to be inverted to cyan?

Or if colours are perceived opposite as in that theory, then why not double inverted or ten times inverted between the eye and the brain?

LLM Synthetic Conversations Unlock?
I'm looking for experts that have similar line of research that I find quite interesting.

I'm a ML eng with ~10 yrs of experience but previously I was a psychologist (unusual transition I know ha).

Reading over the research, I kept thinking LLM personas were underutilized or not fully understood. I finally found the Qwen paper on 1 Billion personas to capture more complete & diverse stores of information within a FM. The paper intention was for synthetic data generation for LLM training data. This paper was very cool and triggered my hypothesis that distinct personas collaborating with each other could give humans a diverse set of actions or validate possible pathways before taking first real step.

It seems that an LLM's ability to "brainstorm" for humans via generation seems like a ground truth. Only to improve with scaling laws.

I am hearing and see prototypes that have a feature that utilizes what I'm calling "synthetic conversations".

Ex 1: Everyone uploads your profile (e.g., Snap, Yelp, LinkedIn), your representative meets others, then simulate synthetic conversations before mtgs/party to find best match or talking points in real life.

Ex 2: Marketing assistance can validate if your message will resonate with intended audience via synthetic conversations.

I might be alone but if not I'd love to hear from you!

Nobody specifies implied contracts. They are implied.

Probably no physicist thinks that Boltzman brains are a potent thought experiment. BBs are short-hand for a problem in combining cosmology and statistical mechanics in a way in which there is a hierarchy of vastly improbable configurations fluctuating into existence out of thermal equilibrium.

Discounting Brain-in-a-Vat (because it's cognitively useless), the problem in a nutshell is that we inhabit a universe which appears (a) to have had a hot dense phase in approximate thermal equilibrium, (b) a future sparse phase in approximate thermal equilibrium, and (c) a whole bunch of structure in between those. Is the structure a fluctuation in (a)? Could (a) be a fluctuation in (b)? These are reasonable questions about which one can ask: is there astrophysical or laboratory evidence available to determine the answers?

One problem is that if (a) (early conditions) is a fluctuation in (b) (late conditions), wherein (a) simply evolves into (c) (complex structure with galaxies and so on) and then (b), what mechanisms could suppress simpler configurations than (a)?

A huge huge huge number of low-entropy Boltzmann brains fluctuating into existence is vastly more likley (on Boltzmann entropy grounds) than an early very-very-very-very-very-low-entropy universe compatible with the standard model of particle physics and the cosmic microwave background and galaxies all over the sky, in which there is a nonzero chance of human brains arising via evolutionary processes.

A tiny change in a Boltzmann brain as it fluctuates into existence could lead to a significant loss of false memory; a tiny change in a maximally-hot maximally-dense phase in the early universe could lead to completely different chemical elements (or none at all).

So Boltzmann brains highlight some metaphysical ratholes one can fall into with respect to the fine-tuning of the (a) state, and have provoked work on how (a) could be so generic an outcome that the evolution of (a)->(c) is "unsurprising". The hard part is coming up with observables which usefully compare a given hypothetical solution and our own sky.
The author lives in the UK, so the UK GDPR is relevant, not the EU one.

It doesn't matter that WordPress isn't a UK entity. WordPress does do business in the UK so they need to comply with the UK GDPR as well as the EU one. If they don't want to comply with UK laws, they need to stop doing business with UK customers (or provide free services to UK citizens, but enforcing decisions against companies outside of the country's borders is rather difficult).

I guess I wasn't thinking of a PERFECT simulation.

Now it's obvious to me that you would have to simulate exactly what the universe is doing down to the smallest level to get a perfect simulation.

Thanks.

Is it really impossible to get a very close approximation without simulating down to the atomic level, though?
How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1 ?
If it isn't a cry for sympathy, it is almost certainly a bitter attempt to cause grief in revenge. I'm definitely thinking the latter rather than the former.

But neither of those things are mutually exclusive with each other or holding a company to account to relevant standards. It isn't wrong to hold them to the standard, of course, but to claim that is only what is happening would be rather disingenuous (unless the author has a track record of defending people against transgressions of those standards when they themselves do not have something petty to be petty about in return).
Still technically UB according to the proposed wording. The proposed wording only deals with allowing null pointers explicitly.
Slander implies a false statement that caused damages.

Indeed that's how I read it too. It's also worth noting that GDPR is implemented separately in each country so it can in fact differ quite a lot country to country.

A quick review of the parent comment would tell you that it never rises to the level of being a hypothesis because it is rooted in category errors and false distinctions that make it neither testable or falsifiable. For example, the appeal to comparison of immigrants as a bloc with shifting American fictions about what constitutes membership in its racial categories. These boundaries are too ill-defined and overlapping with each other to be used in this fashion. What is the process by which one transitions from being an immigrant to one of these groups and how would you observe and control for how any of these (unstable) requirements are correlated to test performance? And of course the same appeal Simpson’s paradox would also have to be applied to the category of immigrant itself before it could ever be considered in this way, since this umbrella contains even more and diverse members than the racial categories with which it is contrasted.

TLDR: Not all suppositions are hypotheses.

In that case, considering we fought a war to be free of your government, there’s an implied contract I must follow, that Brits get zero say on American politics. This implied contract is even older than modern journalism.
The Economist is a pretty reputable publication. Yes they have some biases but “slander” is a strong term that insinuates that it doesn’t have a strong grounding in facts or is written to explicitly cause uproar and not inform. It belongs to places like The Sun or The Daily Mail.

I feel it's a meek way of saying "how it works".

Instead of saying "Click here and I'll tell you how it works", you're saying "did you have a question about how it works? If so, click here and I'll tell you". I'd argue it's still valid English, but it feels uncertain and weak, like you're not quite sure that's the right question to answer.

You are not some super genius who just realized it’s hard to figure out if people are intentionally lying. That part of the case is long over with here.

Exactly. My car has adaptive cruise control. In slow traffic, if the car in front comes to a stop, it'll also stop. But what happens if it's turned off? I honestly don't know and don't have the balls to find out, because so far it just keeps getting closer to the car in front. So if I accidentally pause it then drive the same way I would with it enabled, I might(?) rear-end someone.

It'd be the height of stupidity if it does just keep rolling forward, but who knows...

In the context described (a private organisation holding messages which refer to you personally) this is unbelievably false.
My comment is a reply to (part of) a comment that isn’t talking about reading from NULL. That’s what the [And if the end of the buffer] part implies.

Even if it didn’t, I don’t think the standard should assume that “Platforms without memory protection hardware also have no problem reading NULL”

An OS could, for example, have a very simple memory protection feature where the bottom half of the memory address range is reserved for the OS, the top half for user processes, and any read from an address with the high bit clear by code in the top half of the address range traps and makes the OS kill the process doing the read.

My point is that analogy is influenced by fiction. It is too easy to attach concepts from fiction to the double slit experiment. Saying things like "which outcome your reality follows" are humane experiences overlapped on to the experiment, not something that arises from the experiment itself. Nor something that arises from the math.

I really don't understand how a judgement this large can be reasonable in a case where nobody has had his house burned down.

I don't understand how 5 000 apartments can be a judgement handed out to an individual over something he says. It doesn't really matter what he says, when it's this kind of huge amounts. One can't fine somebody the value of an entire town unless he's done destruction of that order, or at least a fraction of that order.
