This is pretty much what OpenAI tried to do with Scarlett Johansson (or more specifically, her voice) before they got hit with a C&D. Of course, this was after they had already tried to work with her directly so the intent was pretty obvious in that scenario.
They absolutely can, at least under the right circumstances. I accidentally scratched my dog's eye least year while playing with him, and as a result he developed a pretty bad case of pink eye about a week later, discharge and all.
It fortunately cleared up pretty quickly with some prescription eye ointment, which _un_fortunately required a fairly pricey urgent care visit to basically say "Yep, it's pink eye".
On the contrary, the borrow checker is basically the first thing you learn about when writing in Rust as it's the primary "gimmick" of the language. Anyone writing a non-trivial program should have at least heard the term before, even if they don't fully understand how it works.
The borrow checker is a feature of Rust's compiler which places strict constraints on ownership of data to guarantee memory safety. It adds a lot of friction to writing Rust code if you're not experienced with the language (or sometimes even if you are). OP refers to the "language restriction of Rust", seemingly talking about the borrow checker, but has never even heard of it. It's kind of like someone claiming they didn't vibecoded their C++ project but having no idea what the STL is.
I don't disagree that the language is a great way to build an understanding of object lifecycles, but in my experience C++ ctors and dtors are also the biggest source of confusing footguns I've ever encountered in any programming language.
Separately, template metaprogramming is a whole different beast. It's an extremely powerful tool, but to me it also feels like finding the correct incantation to get it to do exactly what you need for more complex scenarios. It can be really fun if you know what you're doing, but it also tends to make me very upset at the compiler when my incantations are a bit off.
I know this is a matter of personal preference but I absolutely cannot stand John Oliver. Every joke feels so tangential and contrived that it's nearly a non sequitur à la Family Guy cutaway gags, and almost none of them ever seem to land for me. Then again, I think the target demographic is moreso Gen X than younger generations so maybe that's why.
As other commentors have pointed out, it's vital that justice is applied as uniformly as possible in the interest of maintaining a fair and truly just system. Defense attorneys are an important check on the state and ensure (at least in theory) that it has met its burden in proving guilt before a person can be convicted, however heinous their alleged crimes may be. Without this adversarial dynamic prosecutors would be free to paint whatever narrative they please, whether rooted in reality or not, and any semblance of actual justice would go completely out the window.
This is a silly thing to say. Normal payment processing uses more energy, but that's only because there are many, many more payments going through it. It's orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than crypto.
You would need to spin the first gear 1 trillion times per second from now until the last proton in the universe decays, then do that about 10^68^ more times. 10^68^ is roughly equal to 52!, the number of unique ways a deck of cards can be shuffled. There's a somewhat famous description of how large this number is (paraphrased for brevity):
Start a timer that will count down the number of seconds from 52! to 0. Every billion years, take a step along the equator. Every time you go around the world, remove one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean. Every time you empty the ocean, take one sheet of paper and place it flat on the ground. Every time the stack of paper reaches from the Earth to the Sun, take a step up Mount Everest. Once you've reached the summit 80 times, the timer will have reached 0.
Plant-based oils and crude oil from the ground are completely different substances. The former is mainly composed of fatty acids, whereas the latter is mostly a mix of different hydrocarbons.
I'd suggest reading up on John Locke's "continuity of consciousness" theory of self. It's essentially what you're describing here: he holds that the "self" over time is a construct of the continuity of one's consciousness through memory. This has some interesting implications: for instance, if someone becomes blackout drunk and has no recollection of the experience, can it be said that that experience belongs to the same person after the fact? Also, as another commenter pointed out this has significant implications in the case of memory loss, especially for someone suffering from dementia.
So based on this and your post the other day about red meat, I really really really advise you to seek counseling or a psychiatrist. Obviously no one can diagnose you via social media, but this post is borderline incomprehensible and your recent posts and comments are strongly indictive of some kind of manic episode. I really think you would benefit from help right now and I really urge you to seek it.
The age of majority is a pretty arbitrary line that we draw; I don't see how this would be fundamentally different. We already "encroach" on interpersonal relationships by not allowing adults to date minors (which again is defined completely arbitrarily).
Random thought, but I think this is the plot of one of the Jimmy Timmy Power Hours.

Better security, better fractional scaling, and proper support for mixed refresh rates and VRR, to name some of the bigger reasons.

That was obviously a joke though, and it wasn't even OP.
Jeez, what a freak.

In this case they're referring to essentially a market niche in a new "category" of news.

Yeah, it's not grammatically correct AFAIK but it's a fairly common mistake to see.

Unrelated, but what on earth is going on with the thorns in your comments?
