You can disable the AI stuff and other nonsense if you do a "web" search, it's in the list with images, videos etc. Theres also a thing you can add to a search url to do it - &udm=14.

It is, machine learning, neural networks and all the other parts in LLMs and generative algorithms like midjourney etc are all fields of artificial intelligence. The AI Effect just means the goalposts for what people think of as "proper" AI are constantly moving.

Emulation and emulators aren't illegal. Yuzu for example got in trouble mostly for distributing tools for circumventing copy protection and dumping roms and not for the emulator itself.

But it doesn't really matter as nobody has money to defend themselves against something like Nintendo. Here just even the threat of it was enough to get the Ryujinx devs to fold just in case.

You can play Cold Steel 1&2 as your first if you want a more modern introduction to the world and like the persona style school setting stuff, but CS3 is when the stories of all the previous games start merging together, so it's very highly recommended to have played Sky, Zero and Azure before that or you will miss a lot of it.

Also there is a 3D remake of the Sky trilogy coming, starting sometime next year with the first game. Though so far it seems to be Switch exclusive.

Because it is a legal question, not a technological one.
Now, I don't know if the for example US traffic law has a tickbox somewhere a manufacturer can go and mark that they will take full responsibility in case of any accident and it will never be the result or liability of the owner/"driver" of the car, but until it does exist there is only supervised self driving, no matter how well or poorly it actually functions or what it does.

Even the current robotaxi endeavours are just one major fatal accident away from grinding to a halt when the courts start figuring out who in the chain from insurer to owner to manufacturer and every worker and designer who has even remotely touched the project is actually responsible for that death.

Really? I wasn't aware of that, from which manufacturer and where can I buy one?

Because:

Due to an amendment in December 2018 of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, certain gaming-related activities and services have now been declared illegal. This includes:

• Distribution of tools and programs for modifying game saves
• Selling product keys and serials online without the software maker's permission
• Game save and console modding services
  As such, sales of products such as Pro Action Replay and Cybergadget's "Save editor" have been discontinued.

https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/abk551/save_game_editors_and_console_modding_now_illegal/

It's meant to ban sale of hardware devices and services that allow playing pirated games on Switch and such, but due to the way it's worded it just bans them all.

As long as the "driver" is responsible in case of a crash and not the manufacturer of the car, it will stay supervised no matter what the underlying tech is. "But your honour, I wasn't paying any attention, it was the autonomous car that drove over the kid" is not a valid defence.

Ha, when that is even possible. I've seen github pages where the issue tracker is disabled and the readme says to give bug reports on discord.

Discord was supposed to replace and combine IRC and TeamSpeak, instead people are misusing it a "replacement" for issue trackers, forums, wikis, and even distributing their files from there, and it's infuriating. And eventually the enshittification will cause Discord to fail, and suddenly over a decade worth of discourse and projects will just be irreversibly lost as nothing said there is indexed by any search engine.

Here's the actual Finland-russia fence.

Which honestly isn't all that much more impressive when you realize why it looks so strangely familiar.

Tweets are a specific type of a microblog post you do on twitters. Have you tried tweeting, make your own twitter at https://joinmastodon.org/ today!

Reddit is fun is fun for Reddit. The WP is just WP, just like RIF is just RIF.

Yup. Helium is such a tiny thing it can diffuse through almost anything, and in MEMS oscillators which are supposed to be at a rock solid 32kHz, causes variance in the frequency eventually just "gumming" it up entirely and causing it to stop working.

If you want to know how and why, Applied Science did a video on it. Five years ago. Because that's when this leak happened.

And the ones most likely to quit are ones that feel they have a good chance of easily getting another job due to performance/experience/education, leaving the company with the people unsure and desperate to keep the job.

This surely improves quality, productivity and motivation at the work place, yup yup.

Interestingly, they still followed the law that requires you to show the lowest price in 30 days which was the same as the sale price. Their argument is that the law doesn't say that they can't base the discount on some other, higher price.

Which does kinda have a point - if you had to base it on that price, if you have e.g a summer sale that lasts two months, after 30 days that sale price is now the lowest price and the sale would "disappear", even if for the other 10 months you'd be selling it for a higher price.
So what's the situation if you have a one week sale, one week normal price, then another sale - 30 day lowest price is the same, but the discount is valid too?

I wonder if they've actually fixed any of the issues with the first one (it's too heavy, unbalanced, expensive and rather useless unless you are already heavily invested in other Apple hardware) to actually get new users to buy it, or are they just assuming like with other Apple hardware that the moment something new with a slight boost in performance hits the market everyone throws the old one in the trash and runs to buy the hot new shit.

Because I'm fairly sure that strategy isn't going to work with VR headsets, and they already didn't sell many of them in the first place.

Remember the Beirut explosion?
Now realize that it was caused by around 1/10th as much ammonium nitrate that is on this ship (2750 vs 20000 tonnes)

Yes, because it used to be"Reddit is Fun", which wasn't okay. That was the point.

WP Engine for WordPress.
That seems to be the commonly accepted solution if you look at other 3rd party trademark cases - situations like "RIF is fun for Reddit" coming to mind.
