The federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, experts told CBS News, including the failure by investigators to interview potential witnesses, properly preserve certain evidence and run basic forensic tests.

In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said

Photos of Jeffrey Epstein's cell show a scene of disarray that never underwent a proper inspection, according to experts.

I figured it was rhetorical, I just couldn't fit the "what your lawyer thinks will actually hold" part in the original message (also with the understanding that "let the courts figure it out later" is not a very good business plan for most of us).

I think you'd have to ask an actual lawyer. I think it's clear that the terms are not reasonable and the question is which parts your lawyer thinks would get thrown out in court.

After reading it all: the biggest problem that I see is the AI addendum 3.2a/3.2b which seems to say "if it spits out stolen IP from training data and someone sues you, not our problem."

Frankly, I just don't see how anyone could possibly sign this.

So clearly the goal is to try to disclaim all liability, so why not simply state at much? That can be done with one sentence. No jurisdiction I'm aware of requires contracts to be complicated, they should simply be unambiguous. Stop trying to screw people over and you likely won't need "AI lawyer."

I'm not a lawyer either, but this is seriously not an agreement. This is a bunch of random garbage, because frankly I just don't see how anyone is going to make heads or tails about what it is that is actually being agreed upon here.

Coup or not, she's definitely one of those forces that Kremlin has traditionally not been able to completely ignore.

A "Virtual Private Network" (or VPN) is an encrypted tunnel routing internet traffic from the users device through some other location in the network, effectively connecting to the internet from a different location. The part regimes don't like is the encryption that prevents surveillance.

If you want to learn about how VPNs function on a technical level and what they can and cannot do, I'd probably start from Wikipedia.

The other part they don't like is that if you connect to the internet (through VPN) outside the networks they control (ie. in practice that means in some other country), then they also can't control what you can or cannot access.

Would imagine these have already been written off a few years ago.

Gasoline shortage is one thing, but once a country runs into shortages with diesel, that's going to grind everything into a halt.

This is likely the entire point of using them here in the first place: by interpreting the results as you please, you get an excuse to get rid of anyone you don't like. Expect women, people of color, etc to "fail" these tests a lot more than straight white men.

Well, yeah. The biggest headache for the onboard system is likely figuring out the confidence levels for the various data sources and then trying to combine those into a best guess estimate, but the approach to trying to have as many data sources as possible seems solid.

I'd imagine though that even without satellite data, they can probably try to estimate ground velocity with cameras (essentially same as optical mice), which should already help a lot.

🧞‍♀️ 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 @myzsd.bsky.social · 2d

Well, yeah. If I'm not mistaken the error growth is quadratic over time due to the double integration, so it's difficult to extend range with better sensors. Works as a fall-back though as long as you have other data to correct for the errors, which is what they seem to be trying to max out here.

Dead reckoning with accelerometers has the fundamental issue that you need to integrate twice, once from acceleration into velocity and a second time into position. What this means is that a small amount of sensor noise tends to accumulate into large positional errors unless periodically corrected.

Don't worry. Apparently it's just some "oil residues."

Rosenergoatom openly blaming EW might actually be somewhat significant here, because it effectively discredits the idea that this was intentional even before Kremlin has had a chance to suggest as much and further effectively puts blame on the Russian side.

Probably. It's not immediately obvious what else could cause such a bright blue flash.
