So I feel like article doesn't address the "why" of it all. Why auto AI upscale?
Perceived quality? They tried to pull an "everything 4k@60Hz" for their 360p@30Hz low poly Stadia content as well.

TL;DR: Its impossible to know if anyone on campus has downloaded Oracle Java....
Quote from this article:[1]
*He told The Register that Oracle is "putting specific Java sales teams in country, and then identifying those companies that appear to be downloading and... then going in and requesting to [do] audits. That recipe appears to be playing out truly globally at this point."*
> Quote from this article:[1]
The article tries very hard to draw a connection between the licensing costs for the universities and Oracle auditing random java downloads, but nobody actually says that this is what happened.
The waiver of historic fees goes back to the last licensing change where Oracle changed how licensing fees would be calculated. So it seems reasonable that Oracle went after them because they were paying customers that failed to pay the inflated fees.

This sounds like "no amount of bug fixing can guarantee secure software, this is a fundamental limitation".
AI can't distinguish between user prompts and malicious data, until that fundamental issue is fixed no amount of mysql_real_secure_prompt will get you anywhere, we had that exact issue with sql injection attacks ages ago.

Desalinated water is also less dense than normal seawater, so the water column inside the output pipe would create a pressure imbalance with the water column outside the pipe, assisting in the outflow? I'm having trouble figuring out how to resolve this seeming perpetual motion machine
I think it would stop in an isolated setup once most of the water is desalinated.
As opposed to being subject to interpretation of the truth, with the courts of varying quality. My point is... everything has error bars.
You are still subject to courts if you use smart contracts, they change literally nothing about that.

We have entire userspace network protocols, ePBF, and to some extent even ePool pooling ideas from microkernels. But A single disgruntled kernel dev is enough to stop Rust device drivers from existing, so no, the idea is still not here.
Even the Asahi Linux lead threatening Linus with a witchhunt against all kernel maintainers did not manage to finish off the ongoing Rust integration. People may not like it but it isn't going down easily.

Like back in the day being brought in to “just fix” a amalgam of FoxPro-, Excel-, and Access-based ERP that “mostly works” and only “occasionally corrupts all our data” that ambitious sales people put together over last 5 years.
But worse - because “ambitious sales people” will no longer be constrained by sandboxes of Excel or Access - they will ship multi-cloud edge-deployed kubernetes micro-services wired with Kafka, and it will be harder to find someone to talk to understand what they were trying to do at the time.
