It’s so predictable too. Did someone do something indefensible and you don’t want to face up to it? Try blaming the victim today! Ask your propagandist if victim blaming is right for you.

The point being made in the video is that the second patent doesn’t correctly reference the prior art - the numbers are wrong - and it is not substantially different. The patent office didn’t do their due diligence.

As for the first, it’s not just code or the staggered idea. There is quantitative research that determines a specific and non-obvious methodology. (Edit: that’s my opinion, but it would be subject to interpretation whether something is obvious - I could easily be wrong)

The video critcises that patent for being overly broad, but there’s no need to attack it because it’s expired anyway. If you want to, here’s the specific link: https://patents.google.com/patent/US5653925A/en

My broader critique of patents isn’t that they fail to stand up to their own rules - although they frequently do - but that the law itself runs counter to innovation.

If you’re saying this one is obvious, there is maths and research involved, not just "hey lay it down like this.

The basic concept is easy, the implementation details are not.

Yeah, it seems like it’s the fear of legal action that’s stopping them, but this information might change that.

Also, I mean “bad patent” according to the standards of patents themselves. I don’t actually think patents are good for anything.

A hypercompetent autocract whose only concern was the perfect management of his city was the only unrealistic thing about Discworld.

Yup. Robert Reich posted something that ended with “Take a moment to breathe, then let the resistance begin.”

And like, buddy, I’m sorry to say, if your resistance is only just beginning, then you are resisting the wrong thing and you will be ineffective. You should be fighting the entire empire, not just the unmasked pieces of it.

The election is your chance to ask for your preferred enemy, but if you don’t get it, your job doesn’t change.

Thanks so much! It’s been a lot getting this much praise after putting in so much effort for years and getting only the occasional response. I have always worked to keep my videos tight because I get frustrated when videos waste time, so that feedback means a lot.

And thanks for the comment about the factory! It just kind of grew organically and I was shocked at how intricate it became.

Oh no… I implemented my AccessoryCount as an unsigned BigInt for some reason. That’s more than the particles in the known universe.

I’ll just step outside on a clear night and claim that the stars themselves are my accessories. Is that too pretentious?

Thanks so much! Ultimately I want to have a backup on peertube as well, but there have been a few barriers there. I’m not giving up on it though.

It’s not that I hate the memes, I just don’t trust them.

Also thank you :)

Why do they have to “WANT” that? Ignoring the fact that they literally said they were happy it was changed back, why does that matter to the criticism? If it’s true, it’s true, and the fact that corporations are the ones in a position to habitually make terrible decisions about FOSS is a big problem. It’s valid to point out that it would be good to find a better way.

If anything it sounds like you “WANT” to ignore it.

The phrase “synthesised expert knowledge” is the problem here, because apparently you don’t understand that this machine has no meaningful ability to synthesise anything. It has zero fidelity.

You’re not exposing people to expert knowledge, you’re exposing them to expert-sounding words that cannot be made accurate. Sometimes they’re right by accident, but that is not the same thing as accuracy.

You confused what the LLM is doing for synthesis, which is something loads of people will do, and this will just lend more undue credibility to its bullshit.

Fellow Aussie, I knew instinctively this was Aussie, just not which part.

It’s okay, I’ve meant to watch them for decades now and I only have myself to blame really.

I know, I’m just pointing out it’s the same logic. My joke was that I was taking your joke too seriously, but I guess it didn’t come across.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: Idk how to do my little shruggy guy on lemmy markdown. Does it read okay for everyone else? Three backslashes has worked on other markdown based forums I’ve used. Please people, lemmy needs lenny.

Edit 2: On further inspection this appears to be a Proton frontend issue. I’ll pursue it there.

You could also say that his lackey-force-choking binge hadn’t started yet, because in A New Hope he wasn’t searching for Luke, and in the intro crawl for Empire it describes him as obsessed. Maybe he hadn’t choked anybody till this one guy needled him and he realised he had to get the word out that he was a serious guy.

Ah yes, “You have criticisms of liberalism so you must love Trump.”

I know someone will think I’m stretching with this but the parallels are so direct they can’t be avoided.

Yo spoilers! Wow.
