04:49 schestowitz[TR2]; "I hope to see a stimulating comments thread on this topic. Rose, you have no confidence in this Hey Hi (AI) proposal, dismissing it as:<br /><br /> "..an absurd reduction of the complex legal notion of inventiveness.."<br /><br />I agree with you. But mind you, some would assert that so too is the EPO's problem-solution approach.<br /><br />Not me, however. EPO-PSA takes a real world look at the obviousness issue, gives
04:49 schestowitz[TR2]; full faith and credit to the inventor and nurtures the good patent monopoly drafting standards which we need if the patent monopoly system is to deliver its full potential, to promote the progress of technological innovation.<br /><br />As we see with the unfolding of the UPC, zealous lawyers are quick to make things more complicated than necessary, as soon as you let them. EPO-PSA (not an invention of a court or litigation lawyer
04:49 schestowitz[TR2]; ) does the opposite. As Einstein advocated, it keeps things as simple as possible, but scrupulously refrains from any injudicious and unfair over-simplification. Hey Hi (AI) is great for searching, but is a no-brainer when it comes to adjudicating the obviousness issue."

11:55 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>Over the past five years or so, I've written about half a dozen articles on how to manage desktop and application scaling in Linux on high-density displays. It all started with my Slimbook Pro2 laptop and its 14-inch display, capable of showing a lovely 1920x1080px grid, too small to properly view at such a small screen. And so I started a tutorial on how to manage scaling in the Plasma de

11:55 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> Since, I've written other guides on this topic, covering snaps, WINE applications, Steam, DOSBox, and whatnot. Because the information is scattered over multiple tutorials, and search engines ain't what they used to be, i.e., not quite as useful and accurate, I thought of making one big compilation that should help you find all of the relevant tweaks and commands, for all your Linux needs

13:43 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> The campaigns made extensive use of AI, including deepfake impersonations of candidates, celebrities and dead politicians. By some estimates, millions of Indian voters viewed deepfakes. </p>
13:43 schestowitz[TR2]; <p> But, despite fears of widespread disinformation, for the most part the campaigns, candidates and activists used AI constructively in the election. They used AI for typical political activities, including mudslinging, but primarily to better connect with voters. </p>

In the previous weeks, we covered the foundational and advanced join techniques, including Inner Join, Left Join, Right Join, Full Join, Semi Join, Anti Join, Cross Join, Natural Join, Self Join, and Equi Join.
