I agree. I just thought it was funny that someone was pointing out the legal unaccountability of an AI in this context.

Good point. CEOs of companies are often held personally accountable for corporate malfeasance by "the current legal framework".

Even if it's communication/announcements from the government?

I too am constantly frustrated that official communications from governments happen on Twitter or Facebook.

Certainly. But in the current social environment, being seen as (mildly) careless is less bad than being seen as someone who lets an LLM write prose for them.

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias."

The U.S. constitution does not say that. Where are you getting that from?

It does say that the president cannot pardon an impeachment, but that's not the same thing at all.

Hey, good for you for following through.

That's not generally how the English language works. We say "an SoC" but "a system-on-chip".

It could absolutely have been in an iMac's wireless keyboard; witness the "Sidecar" macOS feature that allows use of an iPad as an external display for a Mac.

Oy, "the solve".

That's what zsh's INC_APPEND_HISTORY (mentioned in TFA) avoids. Bash may have an equivalent.

If the author is here, do yourself a favor and rewrite the app's labels from Claudese to English.

"what the shape does not decide: Pitch is size and tension; fade is material and air. Neither is in the outline, so both are yours."

English, motherfucker. Does Claude speak it?

Incidentally, according to https://gpt-tokenizer.dev, in gpt-5, "literature" is two tokens ("liter" + "ature"), whereas "文学" is one.

Yeah, "X, and it's Y" is a common trope I see.

Yeah, I've noticed it recently, too. I'd be interested to know where it started.

Parent is maintainer of rsync.net, in case that wasn't obvious. (There's no contact information in your profile.)

Yes. The people that make up that corporation should care about their fellow man (family, friends) and should take pride in making good things (personal fulfillment).

We are allowed to pierce the corporate veil here.

They're just being intentionally obtuse.

In a composited window system (i.e., any Mac since Mac OS X and Windows since Vista [I think]), rendering from an SVG would have to occur in a window buffer owned by the application, so it wouldn't save any appreciable amount of memory, assuming the buffer is the size of the window. The days of having an application draw directly into the framebuffer are well in the past.

Seriously. We already lost "crypto" to such carelessness.

The Times article lists several.

No, you can also take your clothes off and throw them upward with sufficient force.

The son of the elderly Iranian ruler, aligned politically with his father, took over. The war prompted Iran to operate one of the world's largest economic pressure levers, to great effect. The U.S.'s unilateralism, leadership rhetoric, and war crimes (like bombing a school) have lost it a significant amount of global goodwill.

None of that seems like it jibes with your description.

Is "cowork" a general industry term now? Here I was just getting used to "coding" replacing "programming".

The exception that proves the rule.

It seems so. But why here? The president has the power to ban imports for security reasons; unlike many of his tariffs, a narrow ban like that would likely hold up in court, as long as it were accompanied by some made-up justification.

Maybe Jobs was encouraging Atkinson to proverbially skate to where the puck will be -- to create something that will be good now but great in the future.

Even if you think banning Chinese-made vacuum robots is reasonable, it seems bizarre to do so by withholding FCC approval. The fear isn't that they'd spam our RF spectrum... is it?

The article mentions that, in Georgia, funding for these came from the state budget and even quotes a state legislator on the committee on the education appropriations committee.

It also mentions that the effort is "spearheaded" (whatever that means) by the state legislature in Florida.
