There were surveys nearly 20 years ago that found that the most well-informed viewers of television news were people watching The Daily Show. If you can find a video of Jon Stewart's reaction, it's pretty great (basically "We make shit up" and "We air between South Park and fighting robots").

If you like the current Gnome layout, you'll find plenty to like about MacOS.
The parent post's criticism of MacOS applies equally to Gnome. Gnome has been mimicking the MacOS UI for years now. It's why I use KDE.

The last 15 years when Apple hasn't had a real mass consumer machine except for the mac mini have been kind of an exception.
If you're talking about a span of hundreds of years, a span of 15 years may be an exception. A span that's one third of the company's existence is not.

Just to clarify, it's because Slashdot does not support Unicode characters, only basic ASCII.

No, it is different than Bitcoin. In this case, "gambling" means "receiving a specified amount of money if a specific event occurs" (for example, receiving $1000 if Team A wins today's game). Buying Bitcoin doesn't meet the "specified amount of money" part of the definition, and "the price goes up" generally wouldn't be considered a specific enough event.
Bitcoin would fit the common colloquial definition of gambling, but not this specific legal definition.

Regardless of anything else, no one should need a constitutional amendment to do this. This can just be a regular statute law.
If it were a regular law, a state court could potentially invalidate it for violating the state constitution in some way.

If you hook up to electricity from Quebec then your coffee pot is going to make poutine and your TV will only ever play hockey.
I fail to see the problem here.

I'm pretty sure that when articles like this are talking about grid-scale storage, they aren't talking about the small amount of storage that might be useful for load smoothing.

What other sources? You only need storage when you have excess generation that you can't control. If you can reduce generation when needed, why bother with storage?

What exactly do you think grid-scale batteries are used for, if not storing excess energy from solar and wind power generation?

by the way it's not even a children's charity. It's actually some religious organization masquerading as a children's charity to scam people into giving money to their church. That makes them extra-double-super loathsome.
If I remember correctly, it isn't quite that bad. I think it's for a religious school, so it is money being spent on children and not a scam by religious leaders to make money for themselves. It certainly isn't transparent in the ads, and I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to donate to them.

I've seen ads for a small performance venue having shows that I've gone to. I think that might be it, though. The vast majority of Facebook ads that I see are completely irrelevant to me.

If the music or movie that you're copying was generated by AI with no human involvement beyond a trivial prompt, then yes. You're highly unlikely to find much like that.

If it's a question of legality, then Claude is *not* the one to ask; the court should know the answer to that question without having to consult anybody but the current laws.
Of course the prosecutors and judge already knew the answer. That's why the prosecutors did it - to show that the defendant should have known (by simply asking, if he didn't already know) that an LLM is not an attorney and therefore not covered by any attorney privilege.
The prosecutors wouldn't have done the exercise if they didn't know what result they would get.
