Lea este artículo en español.If California wants to build its way out of its long term housing shortage, plenty of things stand in its way in 2024: high interest rates, sluggish local approval processes and a persistent shortage of skilled construction workers, among others.But a slew of housing bills from the 2023 legislative session going into effect on Jan. 1 promise to ease or eliminate some of the other burdens.Among the batch of fresh housing laws are an especially high profile set by San Francisco Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener: Senate Bill 423 re-ups and expands a law that speeds up the approval of apartment buildings in which some units are set aside for lower income Californians, while SB 4 does something similar for affordable housing on property owned by religious institutions and non-profit colleges.Wiener’s two new laws set the tone of housing legislation in 2023, where ripping out barriers and boosting incentives for housing construction emerged as the dominant theme.“T...10-year-old Northern California boy held on suspicion of killing another child with his father’s gun

SACRAMENTO — A 10-year-old Sacramento County boy has been arrested on suspicion of shooting to death another child with his father’s gun, authorities said.Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies answered a shooting report at around 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon in Foothill Farms, an unincorporated Sacramento suburb. In a parking lot, they found a 10-year-old boy bleeding from the head and neck. Despite lifesaving measures, he was later pronounced dead at a hospital, the Sheriff’s Office said in a social media posting.The boy was identified by coroner’s officials as Keith Frierson. He had left his apartment a short time before the shooting to ride his bicycle, a relative told KCRA-TV.According to a Sheriff’s Office statement, another 10-year-old boy had gone out to his father’s truck to get him cigarettes and found a loaded gun. He took it and “bragged that his father had a gun,” a Sheriff’s Office statement said.“He then proceeded to shoot the v...49ers mailbag: What can the Niners take from prior deep playoff runs, and what might be their fatal flaw?

SANTA CLARA – Patience must be exercised until the 49ers make their playoff debut on the Jan. 20-21 weekend. We can kill time by answering your questions sent via social media in the weekly mailbag:Do you think Brock Purdy plays this week? (@PowerGoh)He shouldn’t. Why jeopardize his health for the playoffs, when the scars are still fresh from last season’s NFC Championship exit? His nerve stingers in consecutive games last month have eased, but that left shoulder, and likely other body parts, could use the rest. The midseason bye got Purdy out of a funk, and more time off sounds like the smart play (or smart benching). If he plays, a first-quarter cameo would suffice. He has already set the 49ers’ single-season passing record, doing so on Sunday’s final pass (5-yard completion to George Kittle, for 4,280 total yards). Sam Darnold and maybe even Brandon Allen would benefit from the reps.What are your biggest concerns going into the playoffs, other than health?

The lawsuit filed by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement pits one of the great establishment media institutions against the purveyor of a transformative new technology.Symbolically, the case promises a clash of the titans: labor-intensive human newsgathering against pushbutton information produced by artificial intelligence. But legally, the case represents something different: a classic instance of the lag between established law and emerging technology.Copyright law, a set of rules that date back to the printing press, was not designed to cover large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. It will have to be consciously evolved by the courts — or amended by Congress — to fit our current circumstances.Fair useThe key legal issue in the case will be the doctrine known as fair use. Codified in the Copyright Act of 1976, fair use tells you when it’s acceptable to use text copyrighted by someone else.The fair use test has four factors.

California enters the new year with its existential issues still unresolved, and a new one — an immense budget deficit — threatens to make dealing with them even more difficult.California has made very little progress, if any, on narrowing its shortage of housing, its levels of homelessness and poverty remain among the nation’s highest, and its population is declining as hundreds of thousands of Californians decamp for other states.The Legislature’s budget analyst has calculated that California faces a $68 billion gap between revenue and already programmed spending over a three-year period that began in 2022. Annual deficits in the $30 billion range thereafter.Next week, Gov. Gavin Newsom will quantify his version of the yawning gap and how he proposes to close it, touching off six months of negotiations with the Legislature on a 2024-25 budget.It will dominate election-year discourse in California and complicate Newsom’s simultaneous efforts to expand his national polit...Californina celebrity lawyer Tom Girardi found competent to stand trial for alleged client thefts
