If I understand it correctly, the chip has the vulnerability, but the malware would be installed on the motherboard in the form of a bootkit. So getting a used CPU is not a threat, but getting a used motherboard is (and kind of always has been) a risk.

That’s exactly how cable works in the States, you only have one real choice depending on where you live. If you try and cancel over their atrocious service there’s a very real chance they’ll ask what other choices you think you have.

Did you even read the full article you provided? It literally says that the only source of the claim is the president of the IBA. It points out that having XY chromosomes could mean intersex and not necessarily trans, but it explicitly says there have been no other claims to support this whatsoever.

Totally, especially for something that the boxer has no control over. It’s clearly just a way for them to invalidate the results they don’t like.

They were reporting on the IBAs claim that she had XY chromosomes, which, as stated, has absolutely no credibility. They won’t reveal what test they did or how they arrived at those results. When all evidence suggests they made shit up to disqualify her it’s both disingenuous and cruel to give the claims any credence whatsoever.

The AP article linked above even points out that it was three days after she beat a previously undefeated Russian newcomer. By disqualifying Khelif after the fact they retroactively made the Russian boxers record “perfect” again. Now they’re just trying to cause more issues after being stripped of their international recognition a few years ago.

A Russian boxer whose “perfect” record was ended by the loss. By disqualifying Khelif after the fact they invalidated the bout to protect the Russian’s record.

That’s what the IBA claims, but it seems they did it so the Russian boxer she defeated would still have a “perfect” record by invalidating their match. They made the same claim against the Taiwanese boxer who is a double world champion (I can’t find the reasoning for it though). There is no credibility to the claims that either are anything but cis woman.

I could see a system where you very loosely define a handful of keyframes, give it some kind of description for what your looking for, and then the model fills in the rest for you. It almost certainly would still require some tweaking on the artists part, but I think a huge benefit is that AI can be non-deterministic. If you don’t like what you got you can just run it again without changing inputs. Maybe save multiple runs and manually combine all the best elements. Lots of opportunity.

Most digital animation done by hand isn’t done in the stop motion/frame-by-frame way, It’s done with key frames that are interpolated between. That’s not to say it isn’t still super time consuming (especially when done well).

I imagine it will be the seat itself is reappointed on a fixed schedule, that would function most similarly to the Presidency or Congress. The replacement be more or less an “acting” Justice to finish the term.

I think the hardest part will be enforcing a law like this without also having the numbers to impeach Justices (or pack the court). Otherwise I could see the current court finding some way to rule any kind of reform as being unconstitutional and ignoring it.
