This is the part that boggles me. It is near impossible to leave even a HOA and these people think they can just opt out of local/state/federal government? How? It is just going to be sovereign citizenship magic at some point right? Does their special block chain support red ink?

I love the unwarranted optimism of having a fourth digit on the counter.

I'm not in SB anymore but their Instagram page has posts from a week ago. It does look like they closed for a week in September. Probably the low traffic week before UCSB move in.

He was only ~13 in 1977 so it is understandable that he would miss this deep cut art house movie reference

The Palace on lower State Street if you're in the mood for fancy Cajun.

It wasn't just people listening to it where you would expect to hear the current popular songs (like Macarena). It transcended to completely random places. I saw a karate tournament announcement on Instagram use it.

Sometimes you wonder how people will acclimate to bluesky and then you see that they are doing just fine.

Darth, I'm putting together an Oceans 11 team to steal/rescue the falcon. You in?

They were fully aware of other meanings of the word when they started the project. Everyone in the 90's was.

There needs to be a lot more details around "investigated and addressed the issue". This wasn't a bad config accidentally rolled out.

How insane in practice could that get? There have to be a ton of people where all 4 grandparents were not naturalized citizens at the time of their parents births. How many generations would people have to go back to find a "proper" citizen ancestor?

Once we were past the early adopters (EV as lifestyle) you get average people that just want a car and the charging hassles stick out to them. The average owner use cases and pain points may not overlap early adopters as much as anticipated.

They are even worse at night. My first thought was what in the hell is coming down the street. The headlight bar is ridiculous.

Laughing at the idea of these questions getting slipped into an interrogatory request randomly. Even better how amazing would the case have to be for them to be appropriate questions.

How are members of the list replaced when they die? Is it like a Dali Lama search or more of a "The Santa Clause" situation?

Handing $120k to the father-in-law because the juror was not home is perfect. Did they use doordash for the drop off because this is peak levels of "I don't care, I'm not making a second trip".

From the tech side I feel like the AI companies are intentionally trying to make the models seem incomprehensible to avoid these questions. It seems telling that they need custom front end filters to prevent the model from returning the verbatim original work.

Just for fun though, let's take our eidetic friend and one of those pricey science journals. They don't have a journal subscription but one day they start telling you about an article and even writing large sections of it out for you verbatim. How did they legally read the article?

The question was if LLMs have made a copy of the original work. That some humans have eidetic memory isn't relevant. This is more like someone having a photocopy of the book, and asking were they allowed to photocopy it? ChatGPT can give you verbatim lines from the book showing that it has a copy.

Ask chatgpt to give you the first 3 sentences of a page of a Harry Potter book and it will do it. It has the full text not just "transformed" information. Did they legally get a non-DRM copy without any licensing restrictions to do this?

What am I missing? This feels like you are saying that any digitally published works should have zero protections.

Absolute madness. No one in their right mind wants their will and any edits to be public.

LOL. That is incredibly not how things work. I understand being mad about it, but you can't just will an alternate reality into existence.

This is no different then when one side of Congress doesn't take up a bill and it dies at the end of the session. The Constitution does not have a clause stating that if the Senate doesn't take action in a certain timeframe then the President gets a hall pass.

I hope you had a good rest! Cinnamon Toast turned 30 on Feb 29th. They declared it National Toast day in his honor.

I'm not really even comfortable sharing photos of myself publicly online. When they were tweens I started showing the kids how people can find a physical location from simple photos.

One of the prompts they showed was something like "write code for my 3D game". I'm sure that will work out just fine.
