I'm a fan of the proposed change (as someone who feeds themselves off patents and patent litigation). Do I occasionally do a little patent 
-ing? Perhaps. But generally speaking IPRs are absolute aids to deal with and serve just as much as a kick in the balls to smaller inventors as patent trolls themselves.
Limiting them to parties that are actually of interest, will not only make the process less of a pain, but also generate a lot of 
. As such the dramatic thing to do is to support this with all my heart.

history is where the deep memes are stored
the deep memes are pulled out and wielded by the historian class
strong historian tells a strong story about a man called Oppenheimer
so that we can remember what it was like to feel the fear
that the Germans might soon have the bomb
like the film or hate it, it is a necromancy-of-the-light. so the memes become the form of the living dead. praise be to the lord.
I am here to tell a history, a recent one. I'll tell it in stages, and at intervals. Today I want to begin with

nowadays one takes for granted the anti-corporate politics. it took leftists to tell the truth which simply became known. the right would prefer not to know. even now the right lives in denial rather than purpose. this is a problem. they must be rallied.
but for those of us who grew up in the 90s, the Millennials, there was a time when people sided with corporations! serious people! who were taken seriously!
to some extent we must all be those people, because we are so aware that there are only people in those corporations. this can be true, and it can also be true that people who act on behalf of money become meat suits for that money.

Project Dartlang
It's west coast time in California as Lars Bak and Kasper Lund decide to make a name for themselves as fools and inflict the world with another programming language. These two people never seemed to adequately understand why people did not in fact want Google to embed its own vm in its browser for its own language in one of many naked attempts to grab power on the web. Many have sought to conquer the web. But the web lives on.
Lars Bak: It's just that Javascript sucks so much.
Kasper Lung: And Dart has features!
This went on for a long time. The chrome team won that political battle and the dart vm was never put into the browser. The value proposition for dart was always dubious.
This didn't stop people from falling for it. Thus was the hatred of Javascript.
Today Javascript is safely locked away. Below the surface. You can barely hear it, but it's there.
Waiting.

Another developer has decided that it is time to give the users what they do not want in the name of Google.

kobold.cpp keeps leaving files stored in RAM and there's no easy or obvious way to fix it without a reboot.
Htop shows 14/16gb used, but no process using that ram. Top is the same, showing all the ram used but not telling by what. Flushing the caches doesn't do a thing.
I assume this is because kobold is mmaping the model and not cleaning up after itself post crash, but darn me if I can even find a way to list files currently stored in ram.

They do it to pump up numbers for government subsidies and beating Tesla.
They have a Ponzi scheme thing going.

Like up to 400$. My current phone broke and fixing it is too expensive id rather get a new one. I dont care about chinese spyware so it can also be OPPO or Xiaomi or whatever. For now i was thinking about Motorola G82 or Redmi Note 10 Pro but im still not sure. Drop some decent recommendations. Just not Huawei or some chinese brand i never heard about.

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?
