Though Nintendo’s not going after Pocketpair because lamballs look uncomfortably similar to wooloos, we do know the company is famously litigious in protecting its brand.

So no one really knows what exactly Nintendo is accusing them of yet.

Here’s an older video by an attorney that did a deep dive on Palworld and its legality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns3ATH556NU (Warning: long video).

Edit - Update:

A patent lawyer Was able to narrow down which patent that they could allege was infringed by looking at the combined patents between Nintendo and The Pokémon Company (since they filed a joint lawsuit). There are 28 possibilites and they are claiming that multiple patents have been infringed. https://gamerant.com/nintendo-pokemon-palworld-pocketpair-lawsuit-which-patent/

One likely candidate is a patent that was filed (and requested that the review process be expedited) in July of 2024 that’s “primarily centered on creature-catching mechanics”.

When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:

And the police/courts won’t help you because it’s a problem from the private company running the cameras… I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.

A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).

Even then, I’d rather cameras not be used in this way at all.

I think this title is being easily misunderstood.

Dell is not cutting jobs by having AI compensate for those positions, they’re cutting down on sales teams and creating a new team that focuses on AI products.

From the article:

The latest job cuts appear to be part of a broader reorganization of Dell’s sales teams, including the creation of a new group focused on AI products and services – an area where Dell plans significant growth. For instance, in June, Dell, alongside Supermicro, was selected to provide hardware infrastructure for Elon Musk’s xAI startup’s AI supercomputer.

But the previous flight model seemed to work fine?
What were the issues you noticed with it?

I see “TOS point and click” and can only think of “Terms of Service point and click”… what does this actually stand for?

The other side? TOp Side? It’s definitely not “Thoracic outlet syndrome”…

edit: The Old School?

Well, they’ve continued to churn out features and develop the game, so people keep supporting them.

There are definitely ups and downs, but overall they’ve made a lot of progress in the past few years.

A small group of players have been able to use jump gates to jump over to the Pyro system and back. That’s supposed to be released to everyone by the end of the year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was just a PTU release, with it finally going live a few months later.

Released last year, and going to be shut down by January 18, 2025

Looks like a free to play MMO with microtransactions and a season pass. No refunds will be given out.

It’s not the best example for the Stop Killing Games movement, but it at least highlights the trend of studios that are releasing games and then dropping all support soon after.

It would be great if studios started planning for an end of life transition where players could spin up their own servers, or at least allow some sort of offline mode so that the game doesn’t just become completely unplayable.

Yeah, the way I’m thinking about it is like RabbitMQ, but customized to work with their server meshing and the replication layer.

And at this point, from any newcomers/outsiders looking in, I think there’s a relevant xkcd for Average Familiarity with this subject.

We’re celebrating too soon.

Looks like a law (SB 976) requiring ID verification for social media is heading to Newsom to be signed into law (but hopefully will get shut down?).

The exact kind of verification required isn’t explicitly stated in the bill and would be up to Rob Bonta (CA Attorney General) to decide.

Of course Bonta uses the classic “think of the children, approach”:

Bonta, on the other hand, encourages the public to think of the welfare of children at risk from social media addiction.

No problem it’s a very new term, they’ve only mentioned it in a few places. I just dug up a previous comment that I had posted about this a month ago:

For those wondering what RMQ (Replication Message Queue) is. They explained a bit more in a previous motd update:

This RMQ Test from the core tech group will replace the current NMQ system in preparation for Server Meshing and will be much more robust against networking bottlenecks. This test will not be with meshing enabled but will focus on single shards.

The last test with it was pretty brutal (lots of crashing, imagine groundhog day where you only get a few minutes before you wake up again) so it looks like they’re trying to iron those out before switching on server meshing with it. Hopefully we’ll see much smoother gameplay with this enabled once they work out those issues.

What do you mean by outdated? Most captchas are there to help them train their next ML model. Relevant xkcd:

Sabine Hossenfelder has a PhD in Physics and gives some good information about what quantum internet is, and what it is not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-j8nGvYMA8

Basically, this is not a means of transferring data faster than the speed of light.

It does allow for an ultra secure connection, but that connection is so fragile and susceptible to noise that this would not be useful for transferring any large amounts of data.

Most likely this would be used for exchanging keys/tokens which could then be used with a more reliable connection for transmitting larger amounts of data.

Isn’t the whole point of something like End-to-End Encryption so that not even the company themselves can read your messages?

In that case it wouldn’t matter even if they did turn the info over.

Edit: I read more into the page you linked. Looks like those NSLs can’t even be used to request the contents either way:

Can the FBI obtain content—like e-mails or the content of phone calls—with an NSL?

Not legally. While each type of NSL allows the FBI to obtain a different type of information, that information is limited to records—such as “subscriber information and toll billing records information” from telephone companies.

Now I’m interested in a source for that.

How did they come up with that measurement?

I’m assuming text would use Unicode so that they could capture more letters/symbols for different languages?

Also, are they including maps/images using 4k resolution images?

Are they re-rendering any statues/artworks as 3D models?

Depends on the bank and what kind of notifications you want.
Some banks only allow certain types of notifications to occur through the app.

Notifications and Mobile Deposit are the 2 features from banking apps that I find compelling.

A fun Easter egg on Chromium browsers is that, when you get to 100 tabs, the number just turns into a smiley face.

Twisted Metal… Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time… A long time.
