> I wonder if any of the left-hand side driving countries will make the switch ... Sweden switched to right-hand side driving on road

You had my head spinning and I thought just at what side my steering wheel is when I stepped out of the car 5 minutes ago...

You got the sides wrong. You meant to say right-hand where you said left hand and left-hand where you said right-hand. Sweden switched FROM RHD to LHD.

Edit: Nevermind, I messed up myself - the steering wheel is on the opposite side of the lane you drive.
Always assumed Canada had a kind of European flavor to it. Thanks Google for confirming it...
Well, GDPR seems to be working all right. Care to share any facts in support of your statements? AI Act's required audits by TÜV and like (somewhat similar to UL in North America) are going to have pretty straighforward "response on the ground".
Couldn’t agree more. Tailwind css is great, but TailwindUI is where the wins are.

I love using it and despite being crap at design, I’ve managed to put some stuff together that I think is not half bad. (And I remain mighty impressed with their business plan, too!)
No. Please don't bring these floating and tearaway tabs that were popularised with the last Firefox (Photon?? Proton??) to menus. Why? They don't improve anything like this article is saying.

The list of options below the 'File' menu are to do with 'File'. This is unambiguous and has been since the days of Windows 3.1. Can anyone explain the benefit of changing these, and why it is better than what we had before?
There's this implicit embedded assumption that because it's the EU we're talking about and not some small developing nation of course you can't just take your ball and decide not to play with them. But of course if you can make the finances work you can do just that.
It's easy when it's 1 person to blame.

In an organisation which is connected to the government in many ways through partnerships and contracts, putting a face to a crime is much harder to do. There's no single accountable person who can be thrown under the bus.

It was more a collection of bad actions by actors that had their own motives but nothing that was ever explicitly mean to hurt people.

Fun game to try.

In the end: the LLVM model is too strong to be able to implement a good-enough defense: there are just too many ways of saying something.

If they did follow EU laws, Bard would be available there…
Am I reading correctly that Docker just automatically uses pigz if it’s in the system path? I’ve used both for years and had no idea. I’m definitely going to make sure it’s installed in CI pipelines going forward, I know of some bloated image builds it will definitely help with!
Same way they pulled it off for the original game - BOTW, considering it's the exact same engine with little to no graphical changes.
Laws can be iterated on. Uncertainty, red tape and legal fees all seem like worth-while brakes on a potentially dangerous industry. Better to be safe than sorry.

The EU is more in line with China on this one, I'm all for letting other societies try this cultural nuclear weapon on themselves first. See what sticks.

I feel that's the way things have been going culturally/economically in France/Germany: Look at the world (usually the US but now also China more), see what is useful/competitive, adopt it in moderation. So this stance is extremely in line with the usual approach, in my opinion.
WOW, that is a remarkably bad argument. Straight-up appeal to authority, condescension and social scorn, without substance.

It ignores that all SCOTUS cases are seriously contentious and most were differently decided by multiple appeals courts on different sides of the argument. Then, very few cases are decided 9-0; there is almost always at least one, if not multiple dissenting opinions among the SCOTUS justices themselves.

They are not all wrong, they were on the losing side of the argument.

Before this court, it might be argued that these were at least settled law, but since the current court has obviously decided that precedent is no longer important, the decisions are simply the current state of the law.

At least bring an actual argument with substance on the point of the topic, not "that piddling hobbyist must be wrong" (to agree with the dissenters on a now-notoriously fickle SCOTUS itself). Sheesh.

In Escalating Order of Stupidity
Parking garages in general are a nightmare in the UK. Last time I was over there I joked that you designed them for horses, because even a smallish rental SUV felt like a F-350 in there
I take much longer navigating the ribbon interfaces in any recent MS Office than I do the traditional drop-down menu and toolbar UI.

Scanning a list of words is much faster than tabs of differently sized icons. Having a choice of dockable and customisable toolbars made better sense, they achieved basically the same goal and could be tailored for the current task.

I hope no one at MS takes that idea seriously.
TÜV certification is the red tape I want. Just how in the North America people respect appliances with UL marking.

But regarding the uncertainty, I agree with you. And I guess, it's inevitable given the pace of change and innovation. I am expecting more ISO standards to be created and updated in response to the AI Act, which will limit the uncertainty to some extent.
Opinions on Tracking and Identifying Users
It's not that simple because the compatibility is from both ends; the CDDL states:

> Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License. …

> You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License

Now, you can argue up and down and left and right whether this applies on including the CDDL code in a GPL project (with or without exception), but the fact remains that anyone can sue anyone for any reason, and as long as the complaint is not so ludicrous that a judge will throw it out – which this complain isn't – you're going to end up helping out lawyers with their retirement fund.

Linus in general is far more pragmatic about these sort of license issues than, say, the FSF or Stallman. The problem isn't on the Linux end, the problem is "someone may sue our pants off 10 or 20 years down the road". Remember that BSD lawsuit in the 90s? That kind of stuff. Even if Oracle wasn't the Oracle we know and love today it would still be a risk: things can change in the future, companies get taken over.
I don't see why "western civilization" should be a relevant category for a technology release. You're leaving the EU out, yes, and that's relevant in itself. I don't get why leaving X% of western civilization or not would add anything to it.

(Btw, I consider latinamerica to be mostly part of western civilization...eastern europe too, so the EU is much less than 50%. However, people that care about the term usually prefer to exclude non white people for some reason)
This is a silly idea for a multitude of reasons, which I started enumerating, and then quickly stopped.
The UK has retained almost all EU law, including GDPR. If GDPR is a problem in the EU, then why isn't it a problem in the UK given the law is identical?
Super Mario 3D All Stars was released on September 18, 2020 and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued. Six months.

I’ll get the popcorn for the Nintendo apologist responses. But this is silly, foolish, and absolutely anti-Nintendo when it comes to it games being about fun and not about collecting or scalping. I’m not paying $159 for it. I’ll just pirate it.
I like it a lot, but it’s also frustrating. Perhaps it’s being hugged to death right now but the lookups are very slow, so when I disagree with the results it’s a bit painful. If the results were quicker it would not be so bad, I could try different things.

I was a bit miffed that “currency” was not considered to be related to “mark”. Similarly I thought I’d found the perfect word between “ski” and “trust”, “mogul”, but once again your program disagreed.

Also, please help the player understand the basis of the word relations. I was surprised that the shortest path between “investor” and “mark” was a non-dictionary word: “zuckerberg”. Presumably you are not using WordNet but some corpus of embeddings. If you say where he corpus comes from I can tailor my guesses. Conversely though, the shortest path feature is good because it teaches me what works. Maybe a top 5 would be even better.

You’re onto something though, keep at it!

I wonder if they omitted the explanation -- ie, how exactly it violates GDPR -- since it might get others in trouble (notably ChatGPT).
Except when it comes to profit, there may be something special about western civilization
There’s a value judgment in the business-value sense. Once there’s meaningful revenue from it, or similar, it’s far more likely to be made available there. Until then it’s a business risk and a compliance-auditing expense for nothing.

Also a value judgment: the Europeans in this discussion who are confident it’s a sign Google is treacherous.
An exception to being outdated or significantly less powerful than the competition... Like the original comment said...
Amazon is not one of her clients, but I agree that what happened to you sucks, and is driving down Amazon's quality in general. It's yet another reason why I don't shop there anymore.
> can’t have them and also simultaneously expect everyone is going to find it worthwhile

wait do people think Google is going to forfeit the 20 trillion European market instead of just making some angry noises, adjustments and going live in Europe a month later?
nothing is stopping them, but they likely wouldn't be in compliance with the law
I had to check and double check but I guess this is one tiny benefit of the UKs withdrawal from the EU I suppose (it's not blocked in the UK).

Maybe as similar to cookie controls, we will get fine grained acceptance forms, but what if it's only those in the EU that get that?
Why do we assume evil? How do our unfounded decisions today affect the possibilities of progress? How easy will it be to repeal these laws when we find the harm they may cause? I would prefer to wait and see.
Western civilization was a figure speech
Maybe it's time to stop thinking that some countries are better then others and just treat them as different. Your sense of privilege with ,,lol'' means that you consider people in Norway more important than in other countries.
I mean, ps2pdf be with you (it ships with Ghostscript), or, if you must, use a Web service[1]. PostScript was fairly common for papers before PDFTeX and while Adobe still attempted to control PDF using their patents.

That said, the System P₂ papers might be more helpful[2,3]. The System P paper[4] is indeed more about the inference algorithm and less about the motivation—perhaps the accompanying slides[5] will help some, alongside the first two papers?

I started running at 45, and cycling a few years later. I never ran more than the mile they made my run in gym class in HS. I'm 55 and have run 12 marathons. My 20, 30, 40 year old self would have never guessed.
TotK has also basically been in development for a decade. The game represents peak Switch optimization.
> JSDoc _is_ TypeScript

This is surprisingly true in a way. TypeScript is not a language(1), it's primarily a linter-assisting overlay atop of an actual language, JavaScript. Also, there's a linter that outputs and bundles JS, shedding the alien type annotations and also injecting its own, very partial runtime.

So, JSDoc is just a linter/documenter aid. And so is TypeScript.

(1) TS is not a language: it has no spec, no reference documentation. It defines no behaviors, in particular, no runtime behaviors. It sits atop of various JS versions, layering over them in unspecified ways. TS is a linting layer, and also is a hack.
Knuth and McIlroy Approach a Problem (2021)
I don't know the math to globally power the world with wood. I don't think it's even a good idea.

But I don't feel bad when I burn firewood pulled from a local forest. As that burning is not adding carbon to the world overall.
I’m assuming you’ve benefitted to some extent from GDPR making it harder for companies to laugh their way to the bank with your data, even if you don’t live in the EU.

And to be clear, I pretty much agree with your sentiment; the EU is overzealous and the US is light-years ahead in digital tech - and not only or mainly due to regulation. But let’s not pretend the US culture of “just do it and inshallah” is all rainbows and sunshine. With AI in particular there are existential or quasi-existential risks.
yes, it was a limited release and said so when it was released:

you're acting as if this was some sort of rug pull.

again, if you want it you can still buy it - just not from nintendo directly. I fail to see the issue.
That may be true, but those countries still see the "parades" by these groups. Its "banned" but not gone.
Usually what they have are bans to the display of nazi symbolism, or holocaust denial and things like that. Banning something intangible like an ideology is not very feasible, it's usually more about minimising expressions and influence.
I make no claims it's a global clean energy. Just pointing out it's not actually carbon increasing.
In the current climate, and generally, you should distrust your government on a systematic level, and take pride in doing so. They certainly distrust you.
This looks really interesting! One thing that surprised me about the projects is the video one... why not just work on improving PeerTube instead?
It also shouldn't be that big a deal --- Subaru was willing to do a run of vehicles specifically marketed to U.S. Rural Postal Carriers (while ostensibly it was a run of the vehicles they were making for Japan already, it actually required some U.S. specific labeling and emissions equipment and so forth).
> And there isn't an exclusion zone.

Yet.
I think it's sort of mode of reading thing: while on HN you expect either a technical piece of information, or news where you can quickly jump directly to conclusion. But this one is a rare bird here, a story-telling. I wouldn't call it a literary achievement, but it's written well for its genre. It can frustrate if you try to read it as news, of course
No, the imperialistic moralising is thinking a corporation gets to make the rules over democratic institutions.
I’m not sure on the S and X. I have a LHD 3. The cutouts are clearly there under the passenger side dash. But you would need to replace a lot of parts: steering column, pedals, wiring harness, dash.

From what I understand the S is quite convoluted under the frunk than the 3/Y . So building a RHD S is a lot more laborous than a 3/Y.
> With AI in particular there are quasi-existential risks

lol, there really are not. It's hilarious to see the upper echelons of many government's unironically believing this. they should definitely keep an eye on the development, but as of yet it is not even close to an existential risk.
> Why is this not a good thing? Could you please expand upon this, or offer some sources that support your claim?

I expanded my reply, but why would it be a good thing? Think about it - 'getting ill is good for you' is a counter-intuitive claim, and the only reason you are asking me for proof, is that you have gotten used to accepting this urban legend.

This is not 'natural infections' -> there is no natural situation where you stuff 30 monkeys in a box with poor ventilation and raise CO2 concentration to 2000 ppm, so that the few sick monkeys can achieve really high concentration of pathogens.

I think the idea that it is 'good' is civilisational copium. It's like when people claimed that sending kids into coal mines builds character.
I am not really am Apple person, but I always wondered why the iPad is almost always better priced or in the same range as Android tablets when they are clearly better. At the same time I have an Android phone and don't know why a comparable iPhone is 2x the price. Not saying this is a bad tablet, and I like my Pixel phone, but if they will fight the iPad they need to be competitive on pricing and this isn't, especially not in Europe.
headphones without jack… ok… oO
The effect is going to be that all the innovation happens elsewhere, big AI companies will develop outside Europe.

And Europeans will only get to benefit as consumers, not as makers of AI.

And the EU will take that as a reason to regulate even harder and then also somehow end up giving a bunch of money to its telcos.

EDIT:

My point is that regulation doesn’t just prevent “bad products”. The compliance overhead also prevents good products.

That being said, I agree that there are certain decisions and actions that always should require a human appeals process
That's an excellent summary. It fails to mention the author's reluctance to confront the potential perpetrator, and doesn't mention the author's colorful writing style. But for a summary in three sentences, this is spot on.
I wonder if we will see some kind of compliance or control panel for data sharing in the future. Perhaps only EU citizens will have this privilege.
I suppose one day you'll find yourself in front of bunch of bitter pedants who are desperate to find any way not to be charitable, open-minded, or prosocial.

I think a lot of folks would benefit from letting their initial reaction of kneejerk contrarianism float by un-acted upon, and practicing going "psychically limp," as a good friend of mine once put it. They might actually learn something.
Because the EU isn't really a market (at least for consumer goods), it's dozens of markets. Despite no tariffs and (very) roughly aligned regulations, you've still got dozens of languages, norms, expectations, and income levels. Something developed and tested in Massachusetts will sell better in Wyoming than something developed and tested in Bulgaria will in Sweden.

Funnily enough, despite being part of the EU for decades and still having a comprehensive trade agreement with them, the UK's success in tech is probably more to do with being culturally closer to North America.
Germany was one of the most scientifically literate and scientifically advanced nations at the start of WW2. Scientific knowhow did not prevent them from leading their society and the world in a catastrophic direction.
Do people also win or can only one party win?
I think UK has different rules because it is physically close to LHD markets, and motorists frequently travel to/from them with their vehicles.

Whereas, in Australia, LHD vehicles are only street legal if they are either (a) historic (> 25 or 30 years old, depending on the state), or (b) you can demonstrate a genuine business need for some kind of highly specialised vehicle which is available only in LHD. There is far less demand for allowing LHD vehicles than in the UK, so the authorities can get away with being more stringent.
One time my grandmother was trying to write down all the recipes of my Portuguese great-grandmother. My great-grandmother was having none of it (being used to oral tradition) and during one recipe while my grandmother was writing down the last ingredient, my great-grandmother dumped some extra water into the dough while her back was turned.

My grandmother asked: "Hey! How much was that?"

Great grandmother: "Just put down, 'a mouthful'"!
Australia basically prohibits any kind of LHD on the road, even rare classic imports. As a result there is a small industry that will convert your import to RHD for you - pricetag is ~100kUSD per car.

GDPR still applies in the UK. Most EU law was kept intact when the UK left the EU. The only difference is that the UK courts enforce it, and it applies to UK citizens. Maybe the US doesn't care because the UK is a small market now :-)
> While the AI Act’s references to copyright issues in generative AI are still very vague and only stress how much of a grey area it is, requiring providers of large models to be more transparent about their sources seems not a bad thing as such. As many aspects of the act it will be seen how this works out in practice.

If my license prohibits use of my work for ai training, or requires that any modified code includes my license or credits, or i lack a license, or my web blog doesnt give you permission to train against my content then you shouldnt use it. Google tried hijacking content with amp and ai is not different from it. If you violate my terms then i want to be able to submit evidence - or suspicion - to a government agency that audits or fines you to oblivion. Ideally you have to pay damages equal to the number of people that you may have sold my content to, in full or partially.

This would lead to a win win setup. Artists, developers, writers, lawyers and so on would need compensation for training content - one time or ongoing - leading to higher quality models, job growth and a superior ai product over all.

Ai is by and large a net positive but needs to be done right.
My experience has been exactly the opposite, with two exceptions: pandas and numpy.

Generally every other library works in terms of standard python types where possible. Very few other places will you see things like a re-implementation of a time library.
If your pg database improves with CLUSTER, you can use pg_repack instead to achieve the same effect without downtime. Besides reordering the heap, it will also clear out bloat from the heap and indexes. I highly recommend partitioning if you have heavy write traffic on large tables since that will keep overhead low and make it complete faster.
Is it though? When I went to the US recently, an M1 MacBook Air from the physical Apple Store + taxes was about the same as I paid for it in the UK. I was considering getting an iPhone while I was there but the shorter warranty and same price out me off.
