A judge must avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety. This prohibition applies to both professional and personal conduct. A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny and accept freely and willingly restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen.

Not that SCOTUS is held to the same code of conduct that all other federal judges are held to, of course.

How do people fall for this guy’s lies? He’s not even good at it…

It’s also an English expression.

It doesn’t have to be addition. It could be a hash function, etc.

All participants select their own random whole number and publish it to the group. All participants add all the numbers together. The result is either odd or even (heads/tails) and everyone arrives at the same result independently.

Not only is it normalized, but it’s being weaponized. See, for example, the recent XZ backdoor which was equal parts hacking and a psi-op against the maintainer.

What a hyperbolic, heavy-handed headline.

That’s the opposite of what the court said.

Well, no. The courts struck down Trump’s Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.

Tiktok has been a subject of national security concerns since at least 2020.

It’s a British thing.

Network (1976) is a perfect movie.

What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

Based on the show they’ve put on in Ukraine, and leaving aside nuclear weapons, I don’t think the Russian military is a credible threat to NATO.

If OpenAI owns a Copyright on the output of their LLMs, then I side with the NYT.

If the output is public domain–that is you or I could use it commercially without OpenAI’s permission–then I side with OpenAI.

Sort of like how a spell checker works. The dictionary is Copyrighted, the spell check software is Copyrighted, but using it on your document doesn’t grant the spell check vendor any Copyright over it.

I think this strikes a reasonable balance between creators’ IP rights, AI companies’ interest in expansion, and the public interest in having these tools at our disposal. So, in my scheme, either creators get a royalty, or the LLM company doesn’t get to Copyright the outputs. I could even see different AI companies going down different paths and offering different kinds of service based on that distinction.

I’m an older millennial and have never even bothered to get a driver’s license.

This isn’t foreign policy.

It’s a policy that pertains to how the US relates to a foreign government. If that’s not foreign policy, nothing is. Plus, have you read the lawsuit? It wants the court to order the president to “influence” Israel. Influencing a foreign government is smack dab in the middle of the president’s authority.

Congress absolutely has the right to tell the President they can’t give stuff to war criminals because it’s our stuff.

Yes. And they have declined to do so.

The Leahy law doesn’t say if the executive feels like they’re war criminals

It says the Secretary of State shall make that determination. Secretary of State is part of the executive branch.

You think we have a king. We do not.

That’s obviously not what I think.
