10:10 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>The limiting factor was mostly about how long it took to change the material, so Mayer got to work designing a carousel-like device that could house up to four sheets of stock and rotate each one into place after the previous one had finished.

10:18 schestowitz[TR2]; <p>Plasma 6.1 is due to be released in three days, and lots of attention went into final release readiness activities: QA, bug-fixing, performance profiling, auto-testing, stuff like that. Boring but important! And happily, reviews of the 6.1 beta are, like, really good. So we want to make sure that the final release doesnt disappoint! </p>

17:09 schestowitz[TR2]; "I think the author of this blog has missed the point of the CIPA Journal's cover article. The author of the CIPA journal article was not advancing the use of machine learning language model assisted vector search to apply complex legal tests (e.g. the current test for inventive step), but rather the replacement of those complex legal tests with a machine learning language model assisted vector search. There would be no need to con

17:09 schestowitz[TR2]; being used. Whether this is a good idea is for the legislator to decide, taking into account both the substantive considerations (e.g. is 'sufficiently different' as judged by machine learning language model assisted vector search an appropriate test for rewarding an inventor with a patent; and is it better or worse than a person deciding whether something is obvious or not) and administrative considerations (e.g. cost, certainty,
17:09 schestowitz[TR2]; access.)<br /><br />I think there is no good reason why the obviousness criterion in patents could not be replaced with a 'sufficient difference test as assessed by a machine learning language model assisted vector search', thought I can think of many reasons why it should not."
