Yes, and 1 is also a complex number.

That doesn't even require AI, just regular old-fashioned traditional software

The people who didn't vote may not have actively contributed to this, but they certainly did make a conscious choice to allow it to happen when they had the power to stop it.

You sound like someone I know who insists that the probability of anything happening is always 50/50, because "either it happens or it doesn't".

so I guess that would make him grateful then, right?

This documentation is the right place to look - specifically, I think you need to use python.withPackages rather than trying to pull in each package as a separate item

I think current copyright rules are already quite wild enough when applied to digital media, since digital media is literally just made of numbers. Anyone who makes IP automatically owns the number that represents it in a computer.

Plus it's not just that one number. What if you have different resolutions of an image or video? Different file formats or encodings? What if you compress or encrypt the media? Yeah, the copyright holder can enforce that nobody is allowed to use ANY of those numbers. What if you take media and divide it by 2? Probably still copyrighted. What if you divide it by 236832746589? Copyrighted? Probably, yeah, since it would be too easy to take a movie, divide it by that number, and give it to all your friends so they could reproduce the original. I don't even know how to estimate the extremely vast amount of numbers somebody implicitly owns every time they make any piece of IP.

So yeah, literally illegal to count high enough or perform certain forbidden math.

Not going to argue about whether or not it's constitutional (because I don't know), but I just wanted to point out that this case is slightly more complicated than just "you're not allowed to purchase". It's "you're not allowed to purchase.... BUT other people are". Which means it's potentially a question of discrimination, which is maybe not as cut-and-dry as a "normal" law banning a substance across the board.

Cool explanation, but that's not what echolocation means

It would be if the dog had a good reason to believe that it would get to the bone if it kept digging
