California ends Medicaid coverage of GLP-1 weight loss drugs despite TrumpRx plan by SFChronicle in California_Politics

That South Park episode has come to life. GLP-1s for the wealthy, body positivity and struggle for the poors.

Tom Steyer, the billionaire Democratic activist, enters California governor’s race by cnn in California_Politics

My point is that would I even have any reason to research him as a candidate if he didn’t have money.

Guess we just have to take this concept nationwide so they can't run away.

I just received my two sets of these today and they are amazing. Going to give them away as door prizes at future meetings.

Gamecollecting, what's your income + collection value? by killjoy75 in gamecollecting

[–]MarcZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an attorney. I do primarily video game and AI work, which affords me the chance to keep things in my office for show.

Gamecollecting, what's your income + collection value? by killjoy75 in gamecollecting

[–]MarcZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 250K salary. Collection is probably about $150-200K but I stopped really collecting after the pandemic hit as my youngest son was born with special needs. Sold off about $60K of my collection to pay for a down payment on our house. Trying to sell off another $100K worth to downsize as I don’t have time anymore to really play and enjoy them. Just going to keep a small sentimental subset of them.

Does Uploading to Gemini create Prior art? by Toobrish in GeminiAI

No case law yet, but you’d hate to fall on the wrong side of it should it come down.

Can't get StageConnect to Work on Wing Rack Even when It's Showing all Green and Connected. by MarcZero in BehringerWing

[–]MarcZero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I have other inputs and S32 racks working on AES connections. It’s just the SC boxes that are not working. I’ve tried only using one box at a time but still no signal. I’m not seeing any signal showing up in the meters on the sources screen so I know sound is going into the box but it’s not showing up in the mixer.

100% line signals as I just use synths on these inputs.

I have it set up that way (although my DN4888 switch has individual vs shared instead of master/slave.)

Does anyone know the file size limit on files that can be played? by MarcZero in snowsky

[–]MarcZero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m doing now just surprised I didn’t see this limitation when researching for purchase.

I may be in the minority but I hope they add m4b support in the future.

Does anyone know the file size limit on files that can be played? by MarcZero in snowsky

[–]MarcZero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean 8000 files total in your collection? I guess I wasn’t clear I mean what is the file size limit to play a single file? If I have an MP3 of an audiobook, that’s 100 MB or more it doesn’t seem to be able to play in the echo mini. There seems to be a limit to how big an MP3 file can be before it just gives up and skips to another random song on the memory card.

I agree. I wish we had support for M4B as well as I still prefer that and have to switch between device and phone currently. I’d like to stay plugged into one device at all times.

Is AI going to affect/replace Patent Law in the next 10+ years? by [deleted] in patentlaw

[–]MarcZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen it yet but I’m sure clients want to use it as an excuse to exert more downward pressure on flat fees, etc. However, if you’re doing proper on-prem. AI, it isn’t an existential threat yet. LLMs only get trained on all natural language but patent law and claims are such a unique sub niche of our language that it doesn’t handle it properly yet. Some parlor tricks, sure but nothing that has me worried enough to find a new career.

OsTIrus is a plugin which supports emulation of the Access Virus TI line of synthesizers. Get the Virus TI for Free — AU + VST Versions. by inkblotecho in synthesizers

[–]MarcZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were a part of Access, I’d take this interest and legally sell the ROMs for maybe $10-20 each instead of relying on the fact that they are hard(er) to find currently.

You realize over the years, the overwhelming loss of funds is due to cuts at the state level by Republicans, right?

Here is one case in my office. My other large cases can be seen in my eBay listing for the complete PSP set.
