The Apple case was decided by a judge. It never went to a jury, which was probably a mistake on Epic’s part. (They agreed to allow the judge to decide)

And it’s a scrub for Monday night. See you Tuesday.

They don’t want to be first to run low on inventory.

SpaceX hired a bunch of water tank welders for much the same reason.

They will whine “but we’re not a healthcare provider”. (re: HIPAA) We’ll see if that helps or not. Let’s hope not.

The knowledge exists, but it might not be common in the auto repair industry.

Ford for the electric coolant pump on the Escape Hybrid.

There are already AI watermarks on other platforms, too. (Including Stable Diffusion.) Steganography is a well established field, but there’s a danger if there are too many different standards to mark such images, as any random image might be marked by one that you didn’t test for.

Since it interacts with the ionosphere, there is some minor effect to radio waves, which could happen any time of day. (The article mentions changes to the GPS signal.) But it would be constrained to the area around the launch and landing, specifically California, Arizona, and parts of Mexico. The Florida launches are…

The first paragraph explains that they are using a closed loop process which recycles the water. It shouldn’t be depleting any aquifers. I’ve never heard of any geothermal plant which used an existing aquifer without replenishment. It would be hard to get pressure from such a source if there were other outlets nearby.

Meteor showers come from the dust blown away from a comet. The vast majority of these are between a grain of sand to maybe a small pebble. Far too small to survive an atmospheric reentry.

When an F1 or Indy car is driving at full speed, there is enough downforce that they could drive the car upside down on the ceiling if they wanted. It’s what allows them to take the turns faster. Yes, it’s THAT strong.

It’s long enough, but there normally wouldn’t be much mass at the top end to create a similarly sized crater as the engines. Unless some extra payload was mounted there. They didn’t say it broke in two, they said the mass had two major concentrations, separated by 14m. One was the engines.

One of the linked articles says another parking site signed a contract with a company that then used A-1 for towing, and they were unable to quickly cancel the contract and regret signing it.

If it was just logos, that’s something so easy they can do it on live TV, where “post” means the 10 seconds between action and broadcast. It must be something more substantial, like the car manufacturer.

If it was just logos, you don’t even need AI. Sports broadcasts have been replacing the in-stadium signs for years on live TV.

They don’t even need green screen. For years, at many kinds of sports broadcasts, it’s been a regular practice to automatically replace sponsor banners digitally. The in-stadium audience sees totally different adverts than the broadcast viewers, and it works in real time on the live feed. So, as you say, it almost has…

There is also the possibility that a tumbling satellite could spin fast enough for parts to start falling off, (for instance through the YORP effect or micrometeorite hits,) making the debris situation worse.

That would need a lot more than 100 grams. What this device does is make it easier for a second device to grab the defunct satellite. Obviously the first option would be for the satellite to deorbit itself before it runs out of fuel, but sometimes they fail before than can happen, so having a completely passive way to…

If the rule was one warning then impound, they would have no way to get their vehicle to a shop for the necessary modification. And no way to drive if the shops are too busy to accommodate them all at once.
