04:41 schestowitz; Thanks Santa. Perhaps the distinction between these two types of technical effect you identify partly reflects the sufficiency/inventive step division? I agree with the challenge of defining criteria for allowing post-filed comparative data in a system that permits the use of hindsight to identify the problem to be solved in view of the closest prior art.

05:42 schestowitz;

05:42 schestowitz; Were spoiled on the modern web that we can ask a search engine for a specific error message or general problem, and we can usually find it. But I regularly search for error codes spat out of a Commodore 128 productivity application, or a DOS memory manager, or even a Windows 95 driver, and receive absolutely nothing. And because the original companies dont exist, you cant just go to th

05:42 schestowitz; eir website to search.

05:42 schestowitz; (I say that, but even sites run by Microsoft and HP are now being scrubbed of their old documentation and downloads).

12:14 schestowitz; Texas does not upload the actual notification templates so it is not clear whether the number reported is for employees, employees and students, or something else. In fact, the Texas AG site doesnt even indicate that this was a ransomware attack or the Royal incident, but it seems likely.

13:00 schestowitz;

13:00 schestowitz; While the Index discusses traditional press freedom issues such as the imprisonment of journalists in countries like China and Myanmar, it also highlights 21st-century challenges by warning the world about how widespread fake content and artificial intelligence could undermine confidence in journalists. RSF says that AI is digesting content and regurgitating it in the form of syntheses

13:00 schestowitz; that flout the principles of rigor and reliability, noting that AI has been used to generate fake photographs of former US President Donald Trump and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

13:00 schestowitz; However, while RSF expresses its worries about disinformation, it remains critical of fake news laws. The organization noted that Ugandas Press Freedom ranking went up as a result of the repeal of a fake news provision in its Computer Misuse Act. It also bemoans similar laws in Russia, which have been used to censor information about the War in Ukraine.
