the #court does not expect us to agree with the #principles that are espoused in these #decisions, but they expect us to agree that these are principled decisions. And on the #shadowdocket, when most of these #rulings have no #explanation whatsoever, that really, really complicates the story, especially when, as we've seen over the last five or six years, the #pattern looks far more #nefarious.

Should they build hydro plants in Winnipeg and transmit the power to Misipawistik First Nation instead?

But I disagree that a FLAC file is math. It's data; there is no formula that lets you reproduce it starting from a simple initial state. With math, if you know the initial conditions and the rules/formulae/algorithms, anyone can reproduce the final state correctly.
I think the #math #explanation works for the interested layman who knows nothing of #encryption.

It’s based on, of all things, ‘stamp collecting’ and that actual story starts about 3 minutes in, so stick with it. #AI #explanation #existentialrisk #aiethics #singularity
