But wait… didn’t China say the re-education camps were a hoax, that Muslims have the same rights as everyone else in China, and that any issues they’d been having had already been resolved?

Perplexing.

Basically, people are more aware of how they, personally, are affected by the economy.

The economy in general is doing better, but the majority of citizens are able to apply less and less of that to the things they value, and they see more and more of it being funnelled to the already wealthy.

The “Truth in political advertising” bit stood out to me.

Just like there’s a consumer protection agency, there should be a voter protection agency.

Get caught materially misleading voters? No more going on the ballot for you. Get caught pretending to be running ads for a candidate when you’re not part of their official campaign team? Go to jail for fraud. Be blocked from doing official political business in the future.

We have protections around other critical government positions; we should have them around political candidates as well.

It should be reasonably trivial to programmatically watch the frames; original programming will have mastered audio levels and set video compression; any shift to an ad should stand out like a sore thumb.

So as long as things aren’t locked down to a DRM’d player, it should be possible to fingerprint the audio and video stream content and drop any inserted frames that don’t match.

If YouTube decides to mangle the original content to fight back… then maybe that’s finally the impetus people will need to switch platforms.

Once upon a time print shops would only accept files in Quark Xpress format. Eventually, they came to accept InDesign documents too. They have licenses for the software and workflows and toolchains set up to integrate those files into their existing prepress and press systems.

LaTeX is purely for academic markup for postscript printing. VivaDesigner and its kind? Only niche and hobby layout and print.

That said, I only share in PDF now, so I use other software for the layout phases and don’t care that it isn’t portable to other shops.

My personal opinion is that concealed filming in public should be illegal. Open filming should be courteous, and if someone requests they not be filmed (and they’re not a public figure/government employee), the filmer should honor that.

Otherwise, I see no problem with it, and I’ve been filmed in public a LOT.

So I guess Trump is no longer allowed to vote in New York?

I presume Florida allows NY felons to vote though…,

I miss the roflcopter.

Not only that, most of those cars coming available are from Hertz — they’re rental cars. But not just any rental cars… most are from Hertz’s Uber fleet.

So these are EVs with over 100,000 miles on them, worn out back seats and blistered rear armrests that have been driven by employees using a fleet lease vehicle. And migrating the cars’ software ownership to an unlocked non-fleet private owner state has proven to be… difficult.

It’s in the article; newer gen chips will have extra DRM that will prevent the hacks from working.

Oh, you meant when will the anti-hacks stop?

Bless your heart….

Ah; but do they have plans /not/ to phase out v2?

Because if they don’t, phasing it out will eventually be the easiest way to maintain their codebase and performance.

I thought you couldn’t have foreign ownership in Dubai?

And I don’t get the pie chart… what’s 100% represent?

Or is this foreign ownership in a particular location, like the US?

Wouldn’t their patch embeddings return different results depending on the visual boundaries? They don’t appear to use overlap redundancy; this means it’s going to be significantly less resource intensive, but the chance of losing significant signals in the image to text translation surely must be inversely high?

I’ll give them “occupied Palestinian regions”, but “IOF” is a bit much, even if what the IDF is currently involved in could not really be called “defence” unless you consider genocide and land grabbing a defensive manoeuvre.

After all, they’re not just occupying either.

What this shows is that Trump’s entire team doesn’t really understand what Libertarian is. Kennedy seemed to understand, but his politics obviously don’t align.

Then again, personally I put Libertarianism in the same camp as Communism as far as ideologies that are great in theory, but handwave the human factor away. The trick is in how to avoid authoritarianism while still being realistic about how humans behave individually and in groups.

Makes sense, as actual AI research is based in applied mathematics and data/signal modelling. And the Chinese education system has trained students in those areas ruthlessly over the past 40 years.

So combine large population base with education system focused on the core competencies required for AI studies, and you’re going to get a majority of the talent coming from that system.

We already knew that GPS could be tricked into location drift. I didn’t realize US munitions were depending solely on it for navigation still.

All this really does is show how flawed the current concept of copyright is. But at some point, a huge corpus of images owned by other people was assembled to create a derivative work (the training corpus).

I guess my suggestion wouldn’t be useful then… I was a GrandCentral customer in 2006. When Google bought them I became a Google Voice customer and still am. It’s been convenient to have the same US numbers for 18 years. I wouldn’t run anything private through the service though.
