Maybe ham repeaters but when we are talking lorawan they will have a hell of a time taking the networks down that are already established. Just in my suburb we have more than 6000 nodes because of the helium network.

If the region is bigger than the document, it re-centers instead of snapping to (0,0).

Yep, it’s not a brand-new problem. I just wonder if AI is going to turbocharge the odds of these disputes popping up.

What will happen when company A implements algorithm X based on AI output, company B does the same and company A claims that it is proprietary code and takes company B to court?

Why is my brain not getting this right now. 140 K is -270 F so we would go into the negative with a Dyson sphere?
