That is kind of cool, I guess, but it kinda feels like "Let's take these valuable care providers and take advantage of the increased exposure to germs that they subject themselves to, and then HARVEST THEIR VERY BLOOD!"

My favorite is that in the same vein, Aristarchus estimated the size of the sun to be much larger than the earth (although he still severely underestimated it because it's so hard to measure), and therefore proposed that the earth should orbit around the sun. And the main problem with his theory was not any religious objection, but rather that his model would imply that there should be parallax visible among the stars. Unless they are, you know, ridiculously far away.

I would guess that it has to do with making it easier to parse. The indents won't matter very much, but the parser sees "physical = " and knows that a property named physical is being defined. What is the value of that property? Well, there's a "{", so the value is an object. And the value of that object is everything up until the matching "}". If you have a structure more like panel 1, then it's harder for the parser to know when the value of orange.physical is complete. There might be a [orange.physical.texture] section somewhere, for example.

Even if nothing comes of it, it'd be better than doing nothing. Congress should do what they can, not just roll over.

Take that, Big Food Processor! I don't play by your rules.

If you were to make a list of prominent evil people these days, you certainly wouldn't be starved for choice, but Ken Paxton seems to be vying for a spot near the top.

Interesting! I can't imagine Amazon would want to argue #2, though, since it seems like that would completely undercut their ability to use AI agents in this way.

I hadn't really thought about the implications of the ability of an AI agent to contract, though. That seems like really murky (and intriguing) territory; whether they can or cant, either way would have a lot of interesting implications.

It's not like every lawyer in the world is quaking in their boots at the mere thought of going up against Amazon.

Could he not put terms of use on his website prohibiting the use by AI agents, and sue Amazon if they don't comply?

I took a trip to Norway a year or so ago. I was flying first to Denver, where a friend who lived in Denver would meet me in the airport, and then we'd fly to Munich, and from there to Oslo. That was the plan, anyway.

Well, when I got to my gate at my local airport, I found that my flight was delayed by a couple of hours. Obviously too much to have any chance of catching my connecting flight.

I called the airline, and decided to take the flight to Denver that day, and rebook the remaining flights for both me and my friend for the next day, going through Frankfurt instead of Munich. I stayed overnight in Denver, and we set out the next day.

Aaand of course then the flight out of Denver was delayed, and we missed the flight from Frankfurt to Oslo. We were rebooked onto a flight from Frankfurt to Munch, in order to catch a later flight from Munich to Oslo. Fortunately that one was on time. But then the flight to Oslo was delayed; you know, one for the road, I guess. At that point we were just glad that that delay wouldn't make us miss another flight.
