related topic -- "Judge shopping" refers to the practice of litigants strategically filing lawsuits in court districts or divisions where they are likely to be assigned to a judge sympathetic to their cause, often exploiting structural quirks in the judiciary

Most state courts randomly assign you a judge so it's not that simple, in some cases you can target certain districts in certain states where there are less judges (like the Texas patent judge). This is a trial in North Dakota because that's where the protests happened. I doubt they had many options in a single jurisdiction. The fallback for this stuff is of course a circuit court appeal.

Care to explain how a circuit court might come to hear an appeal out of a state court of general jurisdiction?

disagree because when the "super fast" new CPUs of 20 years ago became common, it was easy to write code that executed slower than previous code, due to language constructs and wasteful work patterns. Therefore, I predict that LLM code can explode in complexity (14KLOC for a binary file parser with some features) but that compute will bog down and effort to understand will explode.. that is, in extreme cases.

in the interest of understanding, is there any code or similar for the approach? does that OCR run anywhere today?

The technology was developed by my predecessor during late 90s when microprocessors was much less powerful, and the resolution of image sensor was low. The relatively high accuracy based on those conditions was a critical factor to use Decision Tree as OCR engine. It's used till 2007 when I left my company.

I don't think it would survive afterwards due to quick change in technology. Even the desktop OCR applications at the time didn't use Decision Tree because the CPU was much more powerful. The DT OCR engine was competitive only under special use case.


> looks like a homeless person

I have heard this once in a while.. really it refers to a hair grooming aesthetic that is disallowed somehow, perhaps.

> he spends his time meditating

said like it is a bad thing. Of course yes, this is a bad thing to many people, I agree.. but among very smart people in California, if he really does that well, it is a plus actually..

> talking about Bitcoin

very polarizing, with grandstanding on both sides of the aisle, agree. However, isn't Bitcoin legal now? as in, a large scale political change in most places where readers of this page might be reading?

overall, the combination of things to point out to launch big criticisms, is more interesting than the fact of criticisms at all, at the moment


The homeless person thing was a bit of a mean way to put it, but I don't think the parent commenter meant it critically or as an insult tbh, more an observation.

Dorsey is a certain type of character. For good or bad, it's worth understanding those who you associate with or who you allow to hold authority over you so you're not surprised when they act in entirely predictable ways.


Admittedly, Dorsey is nowhere near Ellison or Musk levels of evil. Maybe he's too stupid, maybe he's not ambitious enough. Who knows. But he is an unprincipled chud with a track record that makes his contemporaries look like Einstein by comparison.

The guy's a grifter, Block spent $68 million on a single party and we're all supposed to believe that the executive leadership is blameless? I wasn't born yesterday.


> In the US environmental laws are not about the environment at all.

that is literally nonsense .. lazy nonsense, ill-willed nonsense.. Ignorant nonsense.

literally four seconds to search " history of us environmental law"


the only submission from that 8 day old account is about OpenCLAW dot ai

That does not match the very similar reply I got as a California resident asserting my rights under California's "Right to Know" Act , regarding LinkedIn profile data and related

> Every time in history or in sci-fi, the serfs reach a breaking point and rise up.

this is a completely "WEIRD" outlook.. more than half of humanity has no illusions about "proletarians" they do not even discuss it that way

there is also the case of Stephan Wolfram ...

physically large, loud, bossy, no doubt talented but relentlessly seeking to shout out others, "look at me" more than others, take control of budgets and company leadership at every opportunity.. and do some math. Build a system of slave-like labor from wanna-be's and then mercilessly and ruthlessly take their work as your own, demand that it is all yours, and take legal control with "investors" on your side.

source: direct contact with said jerk Wolfram


clever, but no.. I agree that it is useful and appropriate to flag this section for attention.

I am concerned that the civilian population will be deprived of the benefits of this tech while hyper-competitive formal groups scoop up the talent needed to develop these..
