Safer: These witnesses were not sworn, right? Witt: Correct Safer: But in your affidavit you said they were, right? And that's a false statement? Witt: It wasn't an intentionally false statement

speaking of finding old art I thought was lost media, I found the original catalina drawing, a doodle from a jan2018 stream that I then thought "this is really cute let's draw her more" and now is basically the official mascot

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

mares have heat cycles. by high school everyone knows this and awkwardly works around it. everyone except Special Week, who has never been around another uma before and is totally clueless as to what those pheromones are about to do to her

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Lewis Wade 🗃️@wadehistory.bsky.social

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

This is the best scandal of all time. Some anonymous people have said it's a problem and the guy whose job it is to be sad on behalf of any cop hates it. But everyone else seems fine with it. It makes one wonder who brought this forward

For the nonlawyers: This is an accurate description of the DOJ's position. Legally, as they frame it, it is an "Air Bud" argument - new, but no rule against it. It's simultaneously bananapants clownshoes crazy and morally reprehensible.

Owen Barcala@obarcala.bsky.social

So if you're following, DOJ's theory here is they can file an initial complaint with probable cause based on incorrect facts, then file a superseding complaint that removes those facts and proceed without probable cause. Novel indeed.

NEW PREPRINT: Cheap AI-Assisted Reverse Engineering and What It Will Do (in submission) We argue that AI coding tools make it easy, cheap, and fast to reverse engineer software and hardware—and IP law is not prepared for this challenge. arxiv.org/abs/2610.35633

The baseline is that current IP law (esp. trade secret and copyright) broadly allow reverse engineering. It promotes the Progress of Science and useful Arts to let people study how things work. Although it helps people make competing products, most branches of IP are okay with this.

Replying to @jtlg.bsky.social

We discuss four options, (1) Do nothing and let the reverse engineers run free. (2) Tighten IP laws to try to restore the old balance. (3) Loosen IP laws to encourage this creativity. (4) You can do what you want if you own the physical device, but not to other people's devices.

Mostly we're putting this out to encourage the legal and policy communities to think seriously about the tsunami coming for software IP.

Generative AI profoundly upends the "make or buy?" decision across a wide range of domains. There are big changes on both sides of the "or."

Hello, everyone. I made another website. It's called Crowtails. crowtails.club It is a website for running old-fashioned forum adventures and quests, CYOAs and web serials, with varying levels of audience participation and discussion. Remember Ruby Quest? You can do that here. More info downthread.
