The arguments need to be based on actual law, and any cited reference cases need to be real.

There's been a lot of news stories about lawyers using AI, and then getting in trouble for citing hallucinated laws or cases. It doesn't matter if the AI response is "preferred" over the human one if it gets thrown out when put under the scrutiny of a real case.


Who's gonna determine that? A bunch of law professors?

But did they? Or did they just go off what answer felt better? Did they put in any work to actually confirm the answer? Or did the busy law professors just click through and move on with their life?

I agree, but also you can't wait until something is out of print/unavailable to preserve it. Trying to prevent access to it or limit distribution will probably just result in it being lost media one day.

There's also the fact that just because a something is available to purchase in one country, doesn't mean it's available in other countries. A lot of movies/books/games/etc are geo-restricted in sale, with many countries having no valid methods to acquire them.

The best (but unrealistic) solution would be for people who can purchase legally to do so, while leaving it available for download for everyone else.


>printing is the easy part and 3D CAD design is much harder.

I'm curious if AI will make that part more accessible. You can ask Gemini to make you a parametric openSCAD model and it can do a pretty good job for most designs I've tried. Then just plug in your measurements, export the stl to your slicer, and print.


I think they know it's rigged, but it's also a (very slim) source of hope.

It's depressing to be poor, and have no perceivable path to fix that. Continual lottery participation is an action they can constantly take to have a chance to change that. It doesn't matter that their chances are incredibly low, it's still something they can do to have things not be entirely hopeless.


I know the steam deck had good scalper limitations. You had to have a steam account in good standing (no vac bans) that had a game purchase from before the deck was available for purchase, as well as a limit of how many one account could purchase.

There was a limit of 2 steam controllers for this sale, but it sounds like that limit was only per transaction, and didn't prevent an account from placing multiple transactions (if the store would load for long enough to allow it). I don't think any of the other limitations were in place.


I doubt that. Do you have any sources for that claim?


It does work as a keyboard/mouse without Steam. The idea is to have it default to something you can navigate the OS with until you launch steam big picture mode.

The original steam controller had a program to allow users to map the controls without steam, hopefully it will add support for the new one as well.


Just add the launcher to steam, and you can set the input profile for the game just fine.

Better yet if you use Heroic instead of the official Epic launcher, it will let you add the game directly to Steam.

This is basically how people use 3rd party games on the steam deck. You want them added to steam as 3rd party games for easy access in game mode, so you just add any non-steam games to steam. Heroic and other launchers make it pretty effortless, but you can do it manually as well.


If GoG starts supporting linux I'll be happy to support them.


They do, there will be a Linux penguin on the supported OSes list if the game has native support for Linux. If the game doesn't have native support, and you buy the game on a Linux machine, it will warn you about possible incompatibility.

In any case the reality is that every game I've bought on GOG has worked pretty much perfectly on Wine, I use winetricks. The main problem with Windows games these days is the DRM which on Wine will crash. Good thing GOG games don't come with any.


It's a website; it works just fine on Linux.

If you want a fancy launcher, there's always Heroic.


Note that they recently were hiring someone to work on the Galaxy launcher for Linux


LLMs are having pretty consistent studies into their biases. Obviously this doesn't mean we know all the biases, but it's being actively worked on.

Meanwhile with human doctors, every one of them is a unique person with a completely different set of biases. In my experience, getting a correct diagnosis or treatment plan often involves trying multiple doctors, because many of them will jump to a common diagnosis even if the symptoms don't line up and the treatment doesn't actually help.


A growing business right now is using AI art for product images for Amazon/etc listings. There are lots of ComfyUI workflows for it, you put in a picture of the product, some photos of people, and it can spit out images of the people wearing it.

Many product images are currently done through photoshop/etc, but this is quicker and can look more realistic.

It may not accurately represent how the product will actually look when worn, but that's not the seller's primary concern.
