It’s a link aggregator, so generating original content is not really its purpose.

Eh, it’s open source, which intrinsically limits the power the devs have over the software.

A big question is, how many sales are actually lost to pirates, or, how many pirates would have bought the game if they couldn’t pirate it. The answer is neither zero, nor all of them, but I don’t know what the actual answer is.

The reason why DMR tends to get cracked is that the concept is inherently flawed. If the entire game runs on your machine, then everything needed to run the game has to be on your machine at some point. DMR is security by obscurity.

Marchetti’s constant People spent on average 1 hour traveling to and from work.

Cars are far louder than most of the things on the list, only gunshots, airplanes and construction can even remotely exceed the level of noise pollution produced by a busy roadway.

Why London? Russia isn’t at war with the UK.

Please go to the hospital, I think you may have suffered brain damage.

Yes, we do, but we don’t always get what we deserve.

Five years is the maximum sentence, which a person with no prior convictions should easily be able to avoid. Even if the case was brought against a regular person, I doubt there would be jail time. Musk and Rowling can naturally afford the best lawyers, and Rowling has gone radio silent from what I heard. So, fine is easily possible, but jail time is highly unlikely.

I arrived at that conclusion by analyzing what ownership means. Ownership means that you either control something, or the person who controls it is accountable to you. In a state with an authoritarian dictator, such as Stalin, the dictator controls the means of production, if not directly, then through his subordinates, who are accountable to him. Therefore, in the soviet union, the workers didn’t control the means of production, Stalin did. Basically, the Soviet Union was the endstage of capitalism.

These guys care about Palestinians about as much of as anti-choicers care about unborn babies.

That said, it’s misleading and inaccurate to state that neural networks are just statistics. In fact they are substantially more than just advanced statistics. Certainly statistics is a component—but so too is probability, calculus, network/graph theory, linear algebra, not to mention computer science to program, tune, and train and infer them. Information theory (hello, entropy) plays a part sometimes.

What I meant when I said that they are advanced statistics is that that is what they do. I know that a lot of disciplines play a part in creating them. I know it’s incredible complicated, it took me quite a while to wrap my head around what the back-propagation algorithm.

I also know that neural networks can do some really cool stuff. Recognizing tumors, for example. But it’s equally dangerous to overestimate them, so we have to be aware of their limitations.

Edit: All that being said, I do recognize that you have spent much more time learning about and working with neural networks than I have.

The thing with AI is, what the term today refers to most often is neural networks, which are really advanced statistics. And the thing is, to get more precise statistics, you need exponentially more data. And of course the marginal utility decays exponentially. So exponentially increasing marginal expenses meet exponentially decaying marginal utility.

In addition, this tactic will result in the best employees leaving first, because they’ll get employed somewhere else.

So, where does entitlement fit into all of this?

The price of braille displays range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on the number of characters displayed.

Those things are expensive.

One thing about braille, it’s more difficult to produce, and less space efficient than just letters on the page. Here’s the lord of the rings in braille: http://www.braillebookstore.com/Lord-of-the-Rings-Trilogy. And here it is in normal writing: https://www.thalia.de/shop/home/artikeldetails/A1060442563. As you can see, the braille version has a lot more pages. (keep in mind the version for sighted people I linked is a German version covering all three books). In addition the sighted version, despite being presented as a luxury edition, is cheaper than any of the three lord of the rings books in braille. This could just be blind people being price gouged, though. But nevertheless, reading as a hobby is more difficult and more expensive for the blind.

And then they went to Russia, where they were send to Ukraine, where they were turned into fertilizer by the shells their tax dollars got for Ukraine.
