I spent $2550 on a TrueNAS setup with 3x22TB drives, so 40 TB usable after setting up ZFS. The case can hold 8 drives so I could go up to 120TB usable for an additional $2000 at $400/drive. Building big storage servers is actually much cheaper than you think nowadays.
Sleep has always worked on my desktop with a random Asus board from the early 2020s with no issues aside from one Nvidia driver bug earlier this year (which was their fault not MS's). Am I just really lucky?
Good point, but judge's reduction it to a book equivalence is misleading and weakens the judgement.
Porn may provide a suitable model: not all movies need age verification, so those can be viewed at any age. Some movies, however, do require age verification. Similar age ratings could be applied to apps. For example, Facebook only after 18 regardless of parent's approval.
Porn has always been treated differently than other speech that is why most age verification laws want for it first. As for your other examples those are all technically voluntary, as it’s unlikely a government mandate that nobody under 17 can watch an R rated movie would pass constitutional muster. Parents can restrict what speech their kids say or hear but the government generally cannot in the US.
> Parents can restrict what speech their kids say or hear but the government generally cannot in the US.
Good in theory, but practically impossible. Peer pressure is too high for parents to be a significant barrier. If you were successful, please share how you did that.
"Cannot" in the US means no route to enforcement in that context. Distribution of NC-17 content to minors was never directly illegal, but doing so anyway would open the door for potential legal issues under the more broad umbrella of laws that cover "distribution of lewd or obscene content to a minor" which is more of a "do so and find out" concept of enforcement versus specifically identifying NC-17/X content by law.
The question isn't whether your or my proposed regime is practical. The first amendment precedent is clear that the government is not allowed to restrict children's speech any more than it is adults' speech aside from some narrow and tailored exceptions.
Right. So SB2420 and the federal court judgment are the steps in the process to narrowly tailor another exception. Likely driven by the practical reasons mentioned earlier.
I do not see how this is an argument. If porn can be narrowly targeted, why apps can not be targeted narrowly as well?
It seems to be more about harmonizing Texas law (SB2420) under the constraints of federal law (1A), so we will likely to see this question all the way to the USSC.
I had Grok write me a 150 line shell script which it nearly oneshot, except for the fact it made a one character typo in some file path handling code that took me an hour to diagnose. On one hand it’s so close to being really really good for coding, but on the other with this sort of errors (unlike other frontier models which have easily diagnosable error modes) it can be super frustrating. I’m hopeful we will see good things from Grok 5 in the coming months.
This, if it sounds too human ATC is going to try to help and possibly provide vectors, as they should, but The way the system works, ATC needs to be prioritizing clearing the runway and keeping aircraft away
There are a number of companies/products that operate under this principle (mullvad and signal come to mind). Are you saying all of those are futile and misleading? Or are you saying that you expect they all have significant money and legal teams to defend against a crooked cop's thirst for vengeance for not responding the way they wanted during an investigation?
