They wear masks to make it more difficult to arrest them (something which doesn't really apply to ICE).

A politician voting for a bill is legal. Giving money to a politician is legal. But giving money to a politician so he'll vote for a bill is not legal.


What are you talking about? This is how laws are passed in the US 8-/

The private money delivering entity often writes the bill!

Which the politician often doesn't even read, just sends to the house from committee for vote...


This should have a (2008) on it.

There is no reason to use a slot 2 cart nowadays and the state of the art for a slot 1 cart is the DSPico at https://gbatemp.net/threads/dspico-an-open-source-flashcart-... .


Despite the timestamp, I originally uploaded this a day ago and can no longer edit the title. My bad! I didn’t notice how dated the page was until it was too late. Thanks for the link, I’ve been mulling over getting a DSPico to tinker on my old DS.


The early Switches had an exploit in the Nvidia graphics processor that was so low level that the operating system can't be patched to get rid of it, so there are a lot of hackable Switches around.


Using the GPL like this doesn't help unless you are willing to sue people. If you can't or won't sue people, all that happens is that the software with the GPL license is avoided by people who want to use it in GPL-incompatible ways but have a conscience, while bad people still take it and use it anyway, and since you're not going to sue them, they don't care that they're violating the license.


The season is the same for all customers, so that isn't surveillance pricing.


Because if you charge for support but refund it if it's the company's fault, the company now has a big financial incentive to never admit it's their fault.


Failing to predict cold winters is not incompetence in the normal sense.


In the 9th circuit you would have to get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Star_v._FormGen_Inc. overruled.

CDPR is a Polish company though, so how is US law relevant?


DMCA is US law, that's how.


Hmm I'd say their takedown has no value then?

Unless they have a business presence in the US and sent it from there.


They have a business presence in the US, and sent it there.


The takedown is (also ? first and foremost ??)'against' Patreon, a USA company.


Because they invoked DMCA?


This article is nonsense. It's taking advantage of the fact that the problems with LLMs are being described with very broad wording, and then noticing that you can fit human behavior into those descriptions because of how broadly they are worded.

It's like getting a gorilla to fly an airplane, noticing that it crashed the airplane, and saying "humans sometimes crash airplanes too". Both gorillas and humans do things that fit into the broad category "crash an airplane" but the details and circumstances are different.


I have definitely, absolutely, positively had conversations where details have fallen out of the context window of my conversation partner(or mine, for that matter), without the person in question realizing this has happened, and have only via LLMs found a vocabulary to give a name to the phenomenon.


Arguments like this make me suspect that the proponents have simply a malformed theory of mind. If I'm being really catty, I'll say it's because they have below average levels of self-awareness.
