It might be analogous to animals learning by observation versus learning by in instruction, although it sounds closer to bacteria trading dna.
My impression is that it's somewhat analogous to someone with a lot of experience teaching someone who is much younger and has much less experience.
More generally, I think some of Michael Levin's ideas about intelligence are more broadly applicable than we would like to admit.

I think they're referring to more fundamental things like math, language, etc...
A recipe book can have copyright because it's for the specific combination of recipes, layout, etc... Not for a recipe or more generally a recipe book.
I think that's consistent with his the supreme court ruled in Google v Oracle.
I agree. And you don't have to yell it.
And... Them stomping on you during an illegal search doesn't make it a legal one and doesn't shield them from liability.
Even in a legal search, I'm guessing they can't decide to curb stomp you just because without the risk of legal/other liability.
Huh, I though they did. But maybe I was wrong or they changed that.
There are, although you still have to find a lawyer to litigate them. Maybe less so than in other years, but in other cases, maybe more so.
If they have a warrant, they can search for stuff in that warrant.
If they don't, they can still do that, but anything they find will likely not be usable in court and you'll have a straightforward civil rights case.
And that they'll let you register even when connected to tor.
Your own property/server has 4th amendment protections, especially if it's in your house. Your use of someone else's machine doesn't, especially when they voluntarily give up your info.
You can also use proxys and/or tor to create external accounts/upload stuff.
I just asked my SO and she confirmed that "all y'all" means everyone within earshot and "y'all" usually means a specific group of people. She also said "y'all" is similar to "on" in French and "youse guys" in the NE.
I'm guessing it's regional and/or group specific.

from the fred.stlouisfed.org dept.
The CPI has gone up far faster than real wages.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL
People are earning about 12% more and working about 5% less since 1980, but everything costs roughly 3x what it did in 1980 relative to wages, and that's where most people are pinched.
Generally yes, but I think it's a lot more nuanced and varied than that.
My guess is that there are a large set of genetic, environmental, and idiopathic contributors that converge to a loosely similar phenotype, but couldn't be treated effectively in the same way because they have different sets of causes.
I think we'll eventually get to a point where we can treat many kinds of dementia in the same way we treat infections/etc... But it'll take a while.
They may be able to be prosecuted in foreign countries even with a pardon in the US. The US would need an extradition treaty with the country where they committed the crimes in some way and an administration willing to extradite them.
Or fund it fully through taxes, like roads, schools, etc...
It's a problem with the law too, but corporations still effectively shield individuals from criminal prosecution for things individuals would be prosecuted for by breaking up accountability among many different people/groups of people.
There seems to be a reduction in psychological dependence in people treated with benzos and barbiturates for seizure disorders compared to people who don't have seizure disorders.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6494026/
I think other disorders in gaba/glutamate functioning (or in an adjacent disorder that affects these systems) could be similar.
My guess is that low doses of benzos used to treat neurological disorders have a lower risk because GABA/Glutamate/related systems in that population are pathologically dysfunctional and benefit more directly from these medications.
I asked Goog's for enterprise value of the sector as a percentage of total market in all 4 situations, so it's not exact because enterprise value isn't available back to the 1800s, but it should be ballpark assuming the overall picture is accurate.
In terms of infra spending as a percent of GDP, 1880s railroads were at 5-6% at peak while AI is estimated to reach 3+% in a year or two.
It depends what they're being taken for. There are certain conditions where low doses of benzos are fine for years or decades.
Not according to Goog's. The railroad bubble of the 1880s was supposedly 60+% of the market. It may not be accurate though.
"During the 1880s, private railroad enterprises represented over 60% of the total capitalization of the entire U.S. stock market, peaking at 63% in 1881 and 1885."
It's possible. If goog's AI overview is accurate, it seems somewhat similar to speculative euphoria seen in the past (eg companies involved in electricity prior to the great depression). It's larger (currently 35% for AI versus 25% for electric/related cos), I'm guessing because of more credit. At the same time, the housing component of the market prior to the GFC was about 23%, and it wasn't as economically damaging as the GD, so hopefully the AI bubble unwinding won't be as bad.
I think it depends on the situation. If there are profitable applications, they might keep the proof to themselves, but I agree with you in most cases.
That has not been my experience. Amazon meets their delivery estimates about half the time. It's not a huge issue because they're usually only a day late, but I suspect they may be deliberately misstating how quickly they can deliver to help with sales.
Other retailers are also off, oftentimes more, but they usually don't market based on delivery time as much as Amazon seems to and I generally order from them when they are less costly.
They don't all have to be drones in the conventional sense. A subset could be a set of balloons with different amounts of helium, an arduino/servos that control one or more fans for directional and limited altitude control, and a box/release with chaff inside.
Whatever isn't used/destroyed could be recovered wherever it lands after a day or two.
It should be less expensive a possibly more effective in certain circumstances because of increased carrying capacity.
That sounds right. I believe it's similar to beach of contact requiring some sort of damage in addition to the breach.
The fraudulent debit cards are definitely criminal.
Using bots to automate listening to his own songs was likely fraudulent too because he was being awarded royalties. If his songs had been monetized in some other way I'm not sure what he did would be fraud.
I don't think creating multiple accounts is, even if it's in violation of the TOS.
If that was the case, anyone who signs up for multiple accounts on a website/app to get multiple coupons/bonuses/etc... would be committing fraud.
None of this is close to firing a gun pointed at someone's head.
They very clearly made an example of him given the sentencing, but I don't think they were confident about all the charges in the indictment based on the plea agreement and the crazy high succuss rates in federal criminal cases.
Does it reference any specific case law/etc...?
NAL. My guess is it's debit card fraud plus everything else.
If the debit card fraud wasn't present, and it was instead a group of individuals doing this, I'm not sure if it would end up in criminal court. It could still end up in civil court.
