> To date, Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec have privacy legislation that takes commercial activities in those provinces out of the federal jurisdiction through the "substantial similarity" exemption to PIPEDA. Federal privacy law defers to provincial law if a province meets the substantial similarity test, providing a baseline of privacy regulation across Canada. This division of authority is important, because for provinces recognized as substantially similar, their laws have not been given the stamp of "adequacy."

I might have framed my statement too strongly. Fathom can be GDPR compliant assuming additional contractual clauses are in place. That is what is mentioned in the linked IAPP assessment.

> 3. Fathom Analytics is incorporated in BC. But nobody in BC has access to our EU Isolation infrastructure. I'm the CTO of Fathom Analytics and I have access to our EU Isolation infrastructure. I'm not in BC. Additional access to EU Isolation is from Germany only. Heck, not even GitHub Actions has access to EU Isolation, we self-host GitLab to keep things completely isolated. We put a lot of time and effort into this.

The same could be said about Amazon, Google, and Azure employees and their data centre employees in Europe. What matters is effective control. You are not in BC but the company, and your position and responsibilities are governed by the laws of the province of British Columbia.

Although, in the case of Canada, SCCs will be actually effective as there are no surveillance laws similar to the US.

Not total control.

We could engineer away things that might eventually in some future crisis prove to be a deciding factor in our survival. We could easily engineer away genes that might have gone on to outlive us as humans, and then end up outcompeted by them. Or we could engineer ourselves into different variants, and compete with each other.

In the end you can’t second guess evolution.
The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung had built what he called a tower on lake Zurich. A few weeks before he died, he had a dream of making a journey to the other side of the lake.

My late grandfather one day was puzzled because he was convinced that there had been something about “a suitcase that’s got everything in it”. My wife and I exchanged glances. I told him, “You dreamed that”. He looked puzzled and repeated, “A suitcase that’s got everything in it”.

He died one week later.
There is a way to use AWS assuming you can assure no Personal Data is processed in plain text on AWS.

There was a case of Doctolib in the EU. French authority investigated Doctlib for using AWS.

They got off the hook because data was encrypted in the EU, outside of AWS and the encryption keys were inaccessible to AWS.

Similarly Sendinblue uses GCP and AWS as dumb storage of externally encrypted backups.

There are valid use cases. But these are very limited.
Reminder that the moon does not have a "dark side". This is a misnomer. The back of the moon gets the same amount of sunlight as the front. Unless you mean the side which is not presently illuminated. Water could freeze there but it would boil off again when the sun lights it up again.

However there are craters at the poles that never experience sunlight, and water does accumulate in them. You don't need any atmosphere to hold water vapor - the water vapor itself is held in the moon's gravity well and floats around until it cools somewhere, such as these craters.

And founding fathers owned slaves. Mao commit atrocious evil in service of greater eventual good and be acknowledged for it. Celebrated even. National history does a tally of net achievements where personal evil/vice like diddling kids and owning people has never been a deal breaker, even less so for founders.

Agenda driven Mao books don't highlight how Great Leap Foreward and Cultural Revolution both indispensible net good for PRC state building by actual relevant metrics. In 1980s Worldbank summary of PRC progress from post WW2 to 1970s (significantly overlapping Mao's reign) concluded relative to low-income peers PRC was significantly more industrialized - national production share 35/40/25 in agriculture/industry/services vs 40/25/40 average in low income bracket. 40 industrial share around middle income levels, supported via higher per capita energy consumption i.e. 3x India). State provided services were also assessed to be far more effective in meeting basic needs vs low income counterparts, with life expectancy in mid ~65 vs 50 for low income. PRC's 65, was again high end of middle income despite being PRC growing from low income. That's +10 bonus years x 900M lives. WB remark was "outstandingly high" and PRC's "most remarkable achievement during the past three decades". Meanwhile Mao bios: he slept with teens, GLF, CR bad. Mao trading lives in the 50s to front load industrialization/workforce development, and then drag masses into modernity by beating out the 4 olds was excessively executed, but not wrong. Right enough that it's better to be overzealous than conservative/not at all. Again, see India. The ledger on Mao doing net good is pretty clear to me - significantly more good than most other leaders who nation build in other low income countries fraction the size of PRC with better starting and operating conditions. Maybe Mao's an unrepentant psychopath, but nobel prizes have given to people whose done less.

IMO Mao is "successful" BECAUSE he's a psychopath. Like he's not a great statesmen - a great statesment would still want to industrialize and normalize culture like Mao, but they'd opt for the peaceful, 50+ year marathon. It takes a psychopath to think, naw, we'll sprint it in half and deal with the bodies. And use that psychopath energy to new regime in line to execute vision. Utlimately, it worked out, and ironically why he's bad statesmen = great founder.

Academics can’t put themselves on a pedestal for being revolutionaries who care about the ultimate truth the most and at the same time whine when an advance comes along.

These CS academics need to understand that this is what it feels like to be in other fields like physics or bio where you can’t do jack unless you have costly equipment. This is what people in developing countries deal with all the time.

And people will build the next GPT or whatever and even that’ll get boring. The people in big tech have to pivot and do whatever the economy demands. Whereas the academics can go back to writing papers like nothing changed.

In almost every sector of the economy, companies partner with suitable university departments and then oddly enough the universities never get any patents, but the companies do. This is due to how our intellectual property laws work, not any special kind of magic that having shareholders will yield.

Tesla sets up new-energy firm in Shanghai with $2M registered capital
yes: I'm not an expert, but the following for me are pretty obvious

1. a glass bottle left in the field pollute much less than a plastic one

2. recycling a glass bottle has less environmental impact vs plastic

But most of all I'm mad at the very well planned green-washing that made us think that somebody do recycle plastics in significant figures.

I do know that in Italy, when a town burn plastic to produce energy, those figures end up in statistics as "recycled plastic": yes, they do recycle, no doubt, from plastic to electricity, but almost nobody are aware that recycling means burning the plastic just outside town.

Take the beautiful Aegean see in Greece: many Islands have their "little secret", a hidden bay far away from tourist eyes, and just by the sea, where they have a landfill where they just burn everything: once every 3/4 days they add some petrol and just start the fire. Ask tourists, which carefully separate garbage with no need of robots, the following:

"why do you choose plastic and not glass?"

and they all answer:

"because plastic is recycled, isn't?"

In a Greek bay landfill I would prefer tons of glass bottles vs left over of plastic bottles.

Let's call it "Language [based] Programming", LP for short, as opposed to "prompt engineering" and "programming language". It's programming, in language. Not just prompting, it can be multi-step, involve multiple models and plugins, have branches and loops. And it's not just a new programming language, it's the Language itself.

> frequently shot and killed

I'm struggling to find statistics more recent than 2019, but perhaps skipping the anomalous COVID years is for the best. Anyway, in 2019 [0], 89 officers died in the line of duty, of which just under half (44) were due to gun violence. The number of full time police officers in 2019 was in the region of 700k [1]. That's a fatality rate of under 13 per 100,000 - certainly higher than the national average of 3.6, but far less than jobs highlighted as "occupations with high fatal work injury rates" [2] (who are mostly tradespeople or people that operate heavy machinery).

What would be the evolutionary benefit of that?
There are at least two things that make information wrong. One is "right, but not right now" i.e time. The right answer delivered late is wrong c.f. real time systems.

The other is "garbage in, garbage out" which is related but a bit wider.

While these models cannot distinguish input from older crap models, you cannot consider their output reliably right.
I'm no lawyer, but I think that will depend on a number of factors. One important distinction is whether the CDN is based in Europe (or a country that has received an adequacy decision) or not. The details of your data processing agreement with the CDN will also matter, I assume.

In practice, I doubt someone will go through the legal trouble for something like jQuery. If you want to be sure, self-host your resources; it's not like using CDNs will give you any speed advantage anymore with modern browsers isolating websites.
> Their job is helping people who still want to live and can be helped.

By this logic pain management is also unnecessary, because the patients won't (generally) die of pain.

It is necessary because understanding the process (1) may improve the quality of (remaining) lives of the patients, and (2) may actually help prolong lives, similar to the placebo effect.
The cost analysis is done exactly how any corporation would do it. If you want externalised costs to be included then it has to be done by government policy.

And good luck getting re elected if such a policy has a noticeable impact on people's lives.
What are examples of these applications?
Depends on the CDN.

If you pay the CDN, and they're not using your customers' data to make money, then probably not.

If you don't, or they do, then it's a violation of EU law if you do not allow (at least) EU users to easily control the use of that CDN. If you are making money, and you try telling the regulator that for your business, that you need (legitimate interest) to have jQuery hosted by a CDN that is using EU personal data illegally, then you might get a fine if they are reachable by the EU, because very few judges are going to believe that bullshit.
Would LLMs forget things, and would they be affected by the Mandela effect?

Banners are in no way mandated, though. As the quoted text states, you need to have a policy easily available - the same as you'd have any other legal information on your website. Typically it isn't served on banners or popups, but e.g. in the page footer.

You also need to have the right to refuse, which is a non-issue if tracking is opt-in, or only happens in a necessary context like user login, where you can inform the user that it's about to happen.

It's a more or less deliberate misunderstanding to claim that you need popup banners because of EU regulation, and it seems to be said mainly in order to mask the fact that applications are designed to be hostile to privacy in the first place.
It's called liquidity preference. No matter how rich you are, there is no downside to being liquid but severe downsides to being illiquid so having extra money, no matter whether you use it in practice or not, is always worth it, just in case something useful ever pops up. This also means the interest rate gets stuck at some positive value and "investment philanthropy" never happens. If people use net worth or money as a highscore or status symbol that would also be considered liquidity preference.

>pushes for bad things like EME, FLoC and Topics API

EME is better than browsers having to implement their own proprietary APIs for DRM. If EME didn't exist DRM would still be used by sites like Netflix.

>FLoC and Topics API

These are better for privacy than learning interests by tracking via third party cookies. These are moves to retain the positive uses of the web while increasing people's privacy.

>At this point what is making the web a better platform?

WebGPU released recently and provided big speedups to GPU intensive use cases.

What's the benefits to users or server hosters? Will it improve the user experience? Reduce latency? Save costs? If peer to peer features provide value I don't see why they wouldn't be interested. Peer to peel has its own set of drawbacks so there are many uses where it isn't a good option.

> You need the grid either way.

True, although potentially a cheaper grid.

> Why would you ever want to pay your neighbor $10/kWh plus the $100/month for the connection?

$100 seems like a high connection fee, I think it's normally around $25.00. If more people add solar than power is cheaper during the day. Even if you pay retail for it. Sure prices are likely to spike after sunset, you could either shift use, or get a battery. The more people that get batteries the cheaper power will get after sunset. Maybe people with larger lots will start adding wind because it's so profitable.

Grid costs, the cost of delivering power should scale with the distance the grid has to carry the power. If a power plant is 500 miles away then use the cost paid should be much less than retail. But if the power sharing is within the same neighborhood (about 1 in 5 houses around me have solar and 1 in 10 have batteries) it should be retail prices since the connection fee covers the local grid.

Yeah, I gave up on youtube-dl a while ago when I discovered yt-dlp. The latter actually works really, really well, while the former is broken. I'm not sure why anyone still bothers with youtube-dl, but then again there's still a few weirdos who won't give up on XFree86 after all these years, and a few other weirdos who still refuse to abandon OpenOffice.org.

Depending on YOE you still have a lot of room to grow in terms of compensation (see https://www.levels.fyi/). You don't even have to go to FAANG. The hard part IMO is getting an interview, which is solved by getting a referral. Get someone in your network to vouch for you and secure an interview.

I give no advice for moving into NN work, there's a dearth of those engineers on the market, and a lot of jobs requiring N years of prior experience with a graduate degree (good luck hiring!).

I'd say editorial control subject to private interests may be worse than actual public interests. And frankly that seems to be true of all US corporate media; most US media is very pro-corporate and it's hard to find news that tells the other side of the story. On top of that, Fox News is specifically about the political interests of its owner. But none of them get labeled for it by Twitter.

But I don't see editorial control by a government for propaganda purposes as public interest; that's just the private interests of the people controlling the government. News in the public interest would be about informing the public as honestly as possible, showing the nuance, the different sides of the story, but also asking tough questions about it and getting to the bottom of the issue. Getting the truth out. Unfortunately that's not profitable enough in a capitalist media landscape.
