I would guess that it has to do with making it easier to parse. The indents won’t matter very much, but the parser sees "physical = " and knows that a property named physical is being defined. What is the value of that property? Well, there’s a “{”, so the value is an object. And the value of that object is everything up until the matching “}”. If you have a structure more like panel 1, then it’s harder for the parser to know when the value of orange.physical is complete. There might be a [orange.physical.texture] section somewhere, for example.

Even if nothing comes of it, it’d be better than doing nothing. Congress should do what they can, not just roll over.

Organ donation or medical/scientific use. Whatever parts are not useful can be disposed of in whatever way is easiest.

Take that, Big Food Processor! I don’t play by your rules.

If you were to make a list of prominent evil people these days, you certainly wouldn’t be starved for choice, but Ken Paxton seems to be vying for a spot near the top.

Interesting! I can’t imagine Amazon would want to argue #2, though, since it seems like that would completely undercut their ability to use AI agents in this way.

I hadn’t really thought about the implications of the ability of an AI agent to contract, though. That seems like really murky (and intriguing) territory; whether they can or cant, either way would have a lot of interesting implications.

It’s not like every lawyer in the world is quaking in their boots at the mere thought of going up against Amazon.

Could he not put terms of use on his website prohibiting the use by AI agents, and sue Amazon if they don’t comply?

I took a trip to Norway a year or so ago. I was flying first to Denver, where a friend who lived in Denver would meet me in the airport, and then we’d fly to Munich, and from there to Oslo. That was the plan, anyway.

Well, when I got to my gate at my local airport, I found that my flight was delayed by a couple of hours. Obviously too much to have any chance of catching my connecting flight.

I called the airline, and decided to take the flight to Denver that day, and rebook the remaining flights for both me and my friend for the next day, going through Frankfurt instead of Munich. I stayed overnight in Denver, and we set out the next day.

Aaand of course then the flight out of Denver was delayed, and we missed the flight from Frankfurt to Oslo. We were rebooked onto a flight from Frankfurt to Munch, in order to catch a later flight from Munich to Oslo. Fortunately that one was on time. But then the flight to Oslo was delayed; you know, one for the road, I guess. At that point we were just glad that that delay wouldn’t make us miss another flight.

No option for “a little AI, maybe, where it makes sense, but don’t go crazy with it” option, I see.

Every janitor and secretary? Every investor? anyone who worked at any of the banks he used?

Yeah, that’s obviously what I mean.

The Clintons have been under the microscope for decades.

“Oh, those poor rich and powerful people! Surely we can look the other way about just a little bit of palling around with a pedophile!”

This is just a distraction

Yes, that was one of the hands. Well spotted.

On the one hand, Cormer is a shill and is clearly trying to divert attention away from Trump and toward the Clintons. On the other hand, anyone associated with Epistein should have to face the music.

This seems pretty reasonable to me, but I’m skeptical of anything with Tom Cotton’s name on it. But it seems like incentivizing data centers to build their own power generation (using mechanisms that may be more suited for data center use rather than residential use) could take the edge off of their impact on residential electricity costs. Is there a downside to this, or is this a “broken clock is right twice a day” thing? Maybe it lets them bypass environmental regulations as well?

… it’s just going to be, I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me.

Bitch, you are the encyclopedia britannica of reasons for a president to be impeached.

This seems to me like the same kind of question as the one about werewolves in space. If you’re going to make up some lore, make up whatever you want!

Its supply and demand. The AI data centers are paying their electric bills, but at the same time they represent a significant increase in demand for electricity, so electric companies can raise their prices.

But first they have to finish the hearing on whether water is wet.

I agree. He should have been tried, and convicted, and put in prison. It was a miscarriage of justice that he was not. But even if all that had happened, it shouldn’t make someone ineligible for office, otherwise it could be abused by a corrupt government. Ideally it would make someone unqualified in the eyes of the electorate, but… well I wouldn’t count on it these days, unfortunately.
