Thanks! Found their repo: https://github.com/libretro/swanstation

What’s the new one called?

This is stupid. “This is the only body you get” is a good point. The point is to think twice, not to not do it.

I’ve been eyeing Matrix, never gotten around to use it. What’s the deal here?

That’s the best way I’ve ever seen someone say they don’t use a unit of measurement.

TIL! At least they used the same version for everyone, including the later competition.

What do you mean a modified version? What or the point of that if they are sending people to a contest after? Unfair.

I can’t really put it into words but it feels like this should be the job of the police and that someone should be able to hold ICE accountable for this, AND hand the case over to the police. But the polices does not seem to be much better, so potato, potahto?

ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.

I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

Why would they not unlock the victims data if they pay? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose of ransomware?

The article even points this out:

However, it also ruins negotiations when victims realize that Anubis has already deleted their files for good.

You uninstall fonts? Never even considered that.

I can understand that. I like webp because of its small size. I don’t know how it compares in quality to other formats but jpeg adds up. If I can store in a small size with minimal loss, I’d like that.

What’s annoying with webp?

What’s even the point in engaging in a discussion if you are going to dimiss anything related to AI out of hand?

I’m not talking about generating cases. I am talking about creating a software that can help you find cases matching your current case. You will get a list, look at it and keep any case what was of use. If the output is bad, the software is bad. Just like any search engine.

Did you even bother to read anything I wrote or did you just see the word “AI”? I’m done.

When confronted with a problem like “your search engine imagined a case and cited it”, the next step is to wonder what else it might be making up, not to just quickly slap a bit of tape over the obvious immediate problem and declare everything to be great.

That is why I called it a great start and not a finished product. I image there are a lot of legal cases to sift through and it is a lawyers job to at least keep track of the imporant ones (those which sets precedent), but knowing that there are multiple “lesser” rulings in your favour could be useful. And having a search enging that can find those based on a description of your current case? Not a bad idea to me.

The other thing to be concerned about is how lazy and credulous your legal team are that they cannot be bothered to verify anything. That requires a significant improvement in professional ethics, which isn’t something that is really amenable to technological fixes.

I can only agree here.

I get the problem with using a made up citations in your filing, but the idea for Harvey mentioned in the article is not all bad. If they can combine their LLM with a database of cases and create their software to not use any case not in this database, they would have a great start.

Feels like the one who created this didn’t want to do step 3 to 5 for all levels.

I have been running popos on my x1 for some years now. Only had problems with audio not working from one day to another, but other than that it has great support from Lenovo. Even the 4G modem has official drivers.

basically requiring you to give your government-issued photo ID to tech companies.

I remember a time when even your real name was a big deal to hand over on the internet. Then Facebook came along and suddenly it was OK to post any kind of private information.

Is this good or bad?
