> But they decided to mandate the absolute most annoying, user-hostile mechanism possible.

Whenever you bump into such user-hostile and annoying mechanisms, it is not the fault of the EU law but the service. They make it that way on purpose, precisely so you blame the wrong people (i.e. not them) and have you give up from exhaustion.

It was not the EU that “ruined the internet”, it was all the websites hungry for your data above all else. They “comply” in the most spiteful manner possible by design.
The appropriate reaction is probably the same as if you hear that a brand of snacks is not legal to sell as food in the EU. You probably want to investigate.

EU is many things and has some wacky laws (check Northern Ireland), but if a digital service is breaking EU law, they are likely doing something you do not want them to do.

It’s weird when a company with Googles resources flubs their rollout. They have a main competitor. Their main competitor does something. They launch with not doing something. Typically, a company wants to launch with doing something better than their competitor.
I recognized your nick from another Julia article. Why do you always have that condescending tone when commenting on something related to Julia?
I feel like you are missing an opportunity here, the submission is about longtermism.

If you wanted to stay on topic you would say something like, if people have the option of certain deprivation and uncertain deprivation (effects of climate change) they will choose uncertain deprivation and that is exactly the problem with longtermism as well.

I struggle to see a reason as to why it's not available in, e.g., Serbia, where their legal risk is surely very low.
Yeah ive done the research. I just take the starting dose once in the morning every day and i take 3 days off a month. Im not binge eating and im not yoyo dieting anymore. All the dopamine seeking habits i had of gambling and playing video games are gone. I get 8 hours of sleep every night, i eat three meals a day.

Everyone i know that had to stop ended up abusing it. They took it at night to study or party. They took an extra dose if they needed to work extra hard.

Im not going to go up in dose so i have no reason to think my experience now will change in 5 years

Death Stranding on the PS4 is the last time I remember being truly immersed in the world the game is presenting - in a non-Nintendo game.

The first time you go out of the city, the world just opens up to you and the soundtrack just gets more and more calming and you're left with Sam, the cargo and the target. It's just... wonderful.

Of course, the same exact thing happened this morning in the first few minutes of Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo seems to get this right way more often than everyone else.
Hey folks! I am Daniel, one of the co-founders of Efemarai. Happy to show to the ML crowd that we've started our journey of open-sourcing our platfrom for testing and validating Computer Vision models. https://github.com/efemarai/efemarai

Me and Svet(co-founder) have worked in industry (building self-driving cars, to cancer-research to different DARPA projects) and have come to the realization that similar to how software/EE/Aerospace is tested/QA'd as part of the deployment process, we need more rigorous steps in the ML domain (beyond test/val datasets or thumbs-down).

Our hope is to allow ML teams to build test suits for their models, embed them as part of their CI and give another layer of confidence that when you re-deploy, you're not going to regress and to the infamous one step forward, two steps back.

You can register at https://ci.efemarai.com and easily submit jobs through python/cli (pip install efemarai). You'll get access to:
- Operational Domain
Finetune how the images should be transformed, such that they cover the variability the model is expected to see in the real world. We know datasets cannot have it all, so we're releasing a tool that has helped us a lot in being able to both encode "business level performance SLA" - it should work with this small objects, in darkness, under lense flare, when the face is x% rotates or form this azimuth (and not plain mAP or accuracy)

- Support any Input and Output data types
Not only do we support tasks such as classification, object detection, instance segmentation, keypoints detection, regression, but also any combination thereof, with any type of input - single image, multi-image, video, text, or anything that combines those. Right now this is such a major pain point from arbitrary open source datasets, loaders, we really hope to provide an easy way to encode the teams internal structure to something that is generalizable.

- High efficiency
There is so much gain to be made in being thoughtful in the data that is being used, rather than randomly augmenting data. With Efemarai you can find and fix failure modes of your model given the degradation of performance that is extracted from purposeful transformations.

We look forward to seeing you at Discord https://discord.gg/cWQC3rrB and chatting with you!
I heard of pigz in the discussions following my interview of Yann Collet, creator of LZ4 and zstd.

If you'll excuse the plug, here is the LZ4 story:

Yann was bored and working as a project manager. So he started working on a game for his old HP 48 graphing calculator.

Eventually, this hobby led him to revolutionize the field of data compression, releasing LZ4, ZStandard, and Finite State Entropy coders.

His code ended up everywhere: in games, databases, file systems, and the Linux Kernel because Yann built the world's fastest compression algorithms. And he got started just making a fun game for a graphing calculator he'd had since high school.

>The notional open source developer in Nebraska, thanklessly maintaining a vital small program, may not even know where Brussels is (it's in Belgium).

This remains a curious example. Nebraska is not an EU country, it's an American state. EU law doesn't apply. The Nebraska developer (or me in my state) don't need to care beyond that if enough Europeans were interested they might contribute patches to meet their own new reqs, or make requests over it, and then maintainer would need to judge if it matched/was worth it, and if not it might get forked into a CRA one, or not. Ie., just the normal open source process.

Unless someone can point to an American (Japanese/Australian/Canadian/Korean/Mexican/Chinese/Indian etc etc) law passed promising equivalence this continued notion that the EU laws are global is really weird. Certain things they've targeted at companies work, because said companies wish to have physical business within the EU, and the EU of course has jurisdiction over everyone within the EU. So the cost of not complying is the cost of losing a large chunk of business there, and since it's a huge market that's a big motivator (though not infinite, even for megacorps). But for those who don't have any physical interest, what's the issue?
What we call pests often fulfil such important roles in nature that we'd be hopelessly effed without them. They only become a problem when they decide to come and live in our homes, eat from our food, and lay eggs in our beds.

So since we're stuck with them, the best thing we can do is to try and prevent this problematic behaviour from taking place. If that somehow fails things are going to get nasty for a while.

There's also the opioid epidemic and amphetamine epidemic. They're pretty hard to justify in my opinion. Not that other countries don't have issues, but it's less common in democracies that that these things are pushed onto people by the govt through lobbying.

That's kind of a stretch when Bard has been barely relevant since its launch.

It's somewhere between a 7B and 13B for most tasks, which can be run on a cellphone now, and we were already able to run better models locally on commodity hardware. Model complexity and capability are improving so quickly that there's no feasible way for Google to respond.

Sure, Google don't want to look like they're late to a party and under-dressed, but Meta just got a decade of advancement for free in three months with the LLaMa leak. They're looking for anything they can say to sound like they're making progress.

Benchmark this stuff yourself. Use logic problems, have the local model talk through them, and if it doesn't understand what to do, you'll be shocked how a single hint or seed change can lead it to a solution. You can even ask them to generate contexts for themselves that would help them solve those types of problem in the future, which work incredibly well.

Combined with arbitrary length context and long term memory projects, finetuning almost isn't necessary with sufficiently large models. It's really exciting.

> every problem [in the present] has a constituency

The internet as a way of distribution is not exactly new, plenty of legislations on various levels have been dealing with that fact for a while, for instance GDPR.
"The people writing these regulations" cannot predict the future indeed, but that is obvious. It should not serve as an excuse for doing nothing, though.
I didn't see any effect from GDPR on tech talent migration. Any source on this?!

Unix generally favors processes over threads, at least the old school Unix. Threads are a more recent innovation.

The old approach was that programs don't need internal parallelism because you can get it by just piping stuff and relying on the kernel's buffering to keep multiple processes busy.

Eg, tar is running on one core dealing with the filesystem, gzip is running on another core compressing stuff.

In the early days, Windows would have a single program doing everything (eg, Winzip) on a single core, while Unix would have a pipeline with the task split into multiple programs that would allow for this implicit parallelism and perform noticeably better.

Today this is all old and doesn't cut it anymore on 128 core setups.
I lost some new model Pros and learned a lot of the same lessons. It’s weird that anyone would be able to use them? This is the case with the iPhone I believe, where the iPhone is completely useless (except for parts) if it’s connected to someone else’s account.

In my case at least my AirPods ended up in lost and found. I was able to go back to where I lost them with find my, then assist the person working there in finding them by continually playing the sound with a button on my phone.
So Google is so big that they have to offer all their services in the EU in a way that's compliant with EU laws? They can't simply choose not to offer services that may run afoul of regulations? If some large manufacturer has products not compliant with EU regulations, they're similarly also not allowed to restrict the markets where their products are sold?

I don't care what EU countries do to curb their productivity. (I am a Korean national.) However, I am worried that another barrier is being built when considering the case of GDPR. And I hope they don't intervene in other countries as if their thoughts are universal.

> Cxxwrap was broken for a while there, maybe a few years? Maybe it was cxx

Yes, Cxx: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/Cxx.jl -- it uses Clang to generate JIT'd interop thunks, and does neat things to enable that, like cross-language type inference and inlining (in addition to the REPL).

CxxWrap is a different thing, which AFAIK has been actively maintained for > 5 years now: https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl

It is similar to Boost.Python/pybind11/nanobind: bindings are written in C++ and compiled ahead of time into a module that defines Julia entrypoints. Those entrypoints take care of signature selection, translation to/from Julia objects, and lifetime bookkeeping.
It's not illegal, they are just extra careful to not break something. They know how expensive it can be to fail in EU.
Yup, nobody's stopping you, except yourself.
I'm less worried about software freedom these days. Desktop free software has been solid for ages now, and we are starting to have SaaS replacements with the rise of the fediverse.

I'm worried about hardware, though. My wife got a new Dell laptop about six months ago, and despite my 20 years of installing Linux distros on every piece of hardware I can, it still took me hours to jump through all the hoops to get Ubuntu on the machine.

Microsoft is locking stuff down, hard. I'd be willing to bet that when Windows 12 releases, it will require that the PC be a closed platform that does not allow users to install another OS. MS sees people just living with the closed by default mobile ecosystem and wants something similar for PCs.

>"Oh just suffer now for this guaranteed future benefit"

I don't know why but Austrian Economists genuinely believe in pure time preference theory. They say time preference (there are multiple kinds) is always positive because nobody would delay consumption unless they get rewarded.

Therefore delaying consumption always deserves a reward no matter whether the economy is growing or shrinking. Essentially this is a belief that all present suffering will result in a better future. In other words, longtermism is a very hardcore capitalist philosophy.

The party poopers talking about finite resources and increasing entropy should just shut up.

‘I remember G. H. Hardy once remarking to me in mild puzzlement, some time in the 1930s: "Have you noticed how the word 'intellectual' is used nowadays?

I mean, the fact that some European commentators are so outraged over a few years’, maybe even just months’ delay because of efforts invested complying with the law… that’s part of the silliness here as well. “How dare our laws have costs that we bear!

Most of then are self-done conversion of $150 bicycle that is not even roadworthy, has old squeky rim brakes, no mirrors or horn or anything.

If I know this, deliveroo knows this, and I am confident that they are knowingly taking advatage of this situation. If they were fully employed, deloliveroo would have to provide them with vehicles, something roadworthy.

For example a Riese & Muller ebike is actually a roadworthy light moped with mirrors, ABS, etc.

Why is my safetu sacraficed to save deliveroo like 2 grand on vehile costs? Are lives so cheap?
