Yeah, the real difference is that Iron Man did more work in a 3-hour movie than Musk in his whole life.

I think EU law already prevents this, at least this has never been an issue in the multiple member states I lived in.

Why is that car so comically big? Shouldn’t your shoulders be in line with the roof, not the hood?

The real question is, what if you commission a work from another, and they make you something in a completely automated way. Let’s say a vending machine. Are you responsible for what the vending machine does if you use it as it’s supposed to be used? Or is it the owner of the machine?

Why is it different for LLM text generators?

In Europe, it’s exactly because they want witnesses, cops’ words don’t carry more weight than yours by default, so if they ticket you, they want at least two testimonies on their side.

Godot is neat. There is C# support as well if you find that easier, but coming from Unreal, it’s night and day. I know Unreal has so much more features, but for a hobbyist like me, Godot is much better. It’s just this small executable, and you have everything you need to get creative.

Yeah, but this particular language is a feature of the game engine. It’s its own thing called GDScript.

To be fair to Romania, the symbol on their flag at the time was also toxic waste, so it’s good they got rid of it and nobody is reusing it.

Did someone sign into law again that pi is exactly 3?

I have a feeling that’s the point with a lot of their use cases, like RealPage.

It’s not a criminal act when an AI did it! (Except it is and should be.)

You assume the police won’t just mix up the address and flashbang the elderly couple next door after killing their dog

Mine is the one where the soldier returns from WWI completely desensitized to murder and fucked in the head.

He starts stabbing little girls, just like in the war. “Poor people” by Móricz if anyone is interested.

A lesser standard still applies if it either embeds or redirects to a payment page. Again, shouldn’t mean shit, but still.

the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid

Yeah, but the whole PCI DSS thing means that the app must still be secured. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be tied to Google Play, but explain it to them.

IIRC they did coupons exclusively in their app a few years ago where I lived (haven’t checked since), and they hiked the price of everything, so if you don’t install the app, you get a 20% surcharge in effect.

That goes for every single shitty chain store as well.

I guess the problem is that app developers write the installers, and they suck at following conventions. Obligatory fuck Snap, as it creates a folder in the home dir, and it doesn’t even bother to hide it, and it is not even reconfigurable.

or /opt, or a binary in some hidden folder in /home…

I stand corrected, not a big fan of them so I didn’t think about it too hard.

I guess that’s how they make a lot of money, selling their own Confluence plugin.

foggy days

I thought that was a British trademark. Foggy Albion and all that.
