an option that should not be considered = not optional

i hear the people who created meth made a new drug. might try it for fun/curiosity...

YSalsoK that many sites block these email addresses when trying to sign up. especially the bigger providers of such services.

Wanted to save you a click and write what record was actually set. Article doesn't mention it.
It's not most expensive SW prop

a miniature X-Wing starfighter from "A New Hope" sold for over $2.3 million in June

So it might be most expensive firearm prop, but we are left in the dark...
The article's author also doesn't know anything about props:

The original prop gun was modeled after the Mauser C96 broom handle pistol used by Frank Sinatra in "Naked Runner," and was built by "Star Wars" set decorator Roger Christian and armorer Carl Schmidt. It has gone on to be dubbed the "Hero" prop and is considered one of the most recognizable weapons in cinema history.

A hero prop is just the name for a prop that's seen in close-ups or is important.

Let's say your great-great grandfather stole bricks from a victim to build a factory that you now own and that provides a nice living. Because of that the victim was not able to build a factory and their descendants are poor.
Let's say this crime is very well documented.
Did you do the crime? No. Are you reaping the benefits of the crime? Yes.
Should you give that factory to the descendants? Should you be required to help the poor descendants? Would it be a nice gesture to help the poor descendants?
Nobody is asking for the factory. People are asking for a bit of help because it's clear that you are still reaping the benefits of a crime that was perpetrated by an ancestor and the victims descendants are still feeling the repercussions of that crime.

At least there's no businessinsider article on the frontpage. and only two newsweek articles. both of which specialize in clickbait headlines and questionable article flavoring.

Wishful thinking headlines? I guess it's an opinion piece and I agree that it should be one of the top issues. Still this headline is utter bullshit.

they probably have an understanding of physics we don't currently know about in the wider public.

I don't believe any secret agencies have a better understanding of fundamental physics. They have better technology and engineering.

I'm sure OP is talking about the 1984 movie Repo Man

at least in the near future.

You click join-lemmy.org and are presented with a page of information about the fediverse, links to set up a server and pictures of code...

Not sure what universe you are from but in my reality that's just bullshit. What you said is there but right next to the "set up a server" button is a "join a server button". And right above the scary code pictures is another "join a server button".

This looks like a 15 year old game.

While it's also easy to prove rigorously I think the easiest way to think about it is to think what number/numbers could go between 0.9 repeating and 1.
I guess that it also requires a second thought experiment that if no numbers can go between two numbers, those two numbers must be the same.

It's a 10 year old CPU with 4 cores. The game pauses for seconds every so often. About every 2 hours it crashes.

So I read the article and the lawsuit has nothing to do with my question. It's more about precedent and actually finding out what the laws are if everything is as claimed.

Still think detectability is an interesting question.

I believe this is the latest version but it might already be outdated. Blender changes stuff around often so these get outdated pretty quickly. I did the version before that (came out 3 years ago).

edit: if stuff isn't there or not working like it's shown you can search "how to do [x] in [current Blender version]"

I didn't read the article but does it say anything about detectability? If I claim I created it who can prove an AI did?

People just don't do Beatzoid weddings anymore :(
