Yeah, and now where is the privacy respecting European tech giant?
Europe has fallen farther and farther behind in tech, every single year, and are now completely crushingly behind in AI. Like the only (continential) European AI company I know of is DeepL, and DeepL will soon be in DeepSh-t if GPT-4 costs go down.
>This is a terrible thing to say in a world where police officers have no obligation to serve and extraordinary legal defenses that protect them from almost every form of wrongdoing.

Yeah, the author lost me here. I'm all for law and order when it comes to catching and prosecuting murderers, rapists, kidnappers, armed robbers, etc. However, I've seen FAR too many videos of situations where there was no crime that had been committed and no threat to public safety when a police officer showed up and escalated a non-issue into a serious situation that resulted in someone being killed, beaten, and/or arrested for no real reason. There has to be some sort of middle ground.
Under what criteria did you reach the conclusion that OpenAI, Microsoft and Google are reasonable players in all of this? Is it purely based on their name recognition? Is that not antithetical to the idea of a competitive market?

Also, there aren't 180 countries in the world that are outside of EU.
In Germany? A lot, apparently a RSU or ESOP program is to hard to set-up, paying higher base salaries out of the question, so they complain about zheir inability to allow their "worker" participate on the company "success", mostly as a diversion from the fact that they just don't want to. Or taxes, something impossible to do for a new, academic / SW engineer led start-up to do in Germany. It is so bad, if you delieve people, that for that reason alone companies move abroad. All BS of course, given howany small businesses without the reasources of a VC backed start-up, actually manage to do so day in day out. The list goes on...
The only reason probably if some accounts already have a password and you want to support it. If you're building a new app, I'd also go for WebAuthn / passkeys-only and use some other passwordless method (e.g. social login/OIDC or email magic links as fallbacks)
> US will get even stronger at keeping tech talent

Not necessarily the case. There's many reasons someone would leave the US (or North America in general) for the EU/EEA. The US is becoming less attractive to some given the current political weirdness. There's plenty of interesting work to be done in the EU and EEA that's not "hindered" by GDPR, and many developers who relocate to the EEA actually _like_ GDPR, and regulation aimed towards protecting individual rights. That, at least, is the case for me. Having had the opportunity to relocate anywhere, I ultimately picked the EEA.

Tips to Thrive as a Creative in the Age of AI

> As for myself, I'm hitting 40 now

I like to think of a numerical age as a relatively high-variance (statistically) way of summarizing a lot of attributes: experience, wisdom, flexibility, free time, passion, pain tolerance, risk tolerance, technical skills, social skills, social preferences, self-confidence, over-confidence, family priorities, geographic mobility, neuroplasticity, and lots more.

I suggest taking an inventory by reflecting.

This helps in many ways:

* People are able to compensate for lots of weaknesses by using other strengths.

* Some roles, companies, industries will naturally align better than others.

* Reflection can lead to a certain level of acceptance. Own it; be confident in who you are. If there are parts you don't quite understand, be confident that you have started to increase your awareness and process of discovery. This process for many people becomes a very meaningful way to deal with uncertainty.

* Don't let others' assumptions (which are frankly, often relatively unexamined) creep into your brain unexamined.
I wonder how well this will scale for large datasets. Can anyone provide some benchmarks or performance comparisons against other database systems?

I'm not sure what priors the lawyer would use to guess the expected penalty for something as unprecedented as "Crashed a plane on purpose for YouTube likes."

Perhaps the maximum sentence is preferable for the news outlet because it's a number that's definitely not wrong?

> On one track, compensating copyright holders is required for LLMs, and it's going to be very expensive to acquire all of this copyrighted info, meaning only the biggest companies can afford to do it.

There is also the third track which is that most abundant code is open source or unlicensed content (which is protected in the US afaik). If corporations can't monetize on it, we win, because models either need to be open source or we need payment for training.
It also works for just reading other people's code and I had it translate this line of code:

clips = [ CompositeVideoClip( moveLetters(letters,funcpos),
size = screensize).subclip(0,5)
for funcpos in [vortex, cascade, arrive, vortexout] ]

to this so I could see what it's doing:

# Define a list of functions that will be applied to the letters

transitions = [vortex, cascade, arrive, vortexout]

# Create a CompositeVideoClip for each transition function and append to clips list

clips = []

for transition in transitions:

letters_moved = moveLetters(letters, transition)

clip = CompositeVideoClip(letters_moved, size=screensize).subclip(0, 5)

clips.append(clip)

It also talked about a list comprehension which I hadn't heard of before.(not a regular python coder)
I think this is the part of the system that I find the most distasteful. If you're charged with a crime, you do everything right, you get bailed, you get found not guilty or the charges are dropped, you don't get the money you paid the bondsman back. It's horrifying.

This, to me, sounds like personal opinion. Many developers in the EEA, while agreeing that it causes extra work, like the spirit of GDPR. The attitude (a generalisation) towards the American way of working with private data, is generally that it's unethical. It's not hard to find developers who are happy to, and want to, work within the framework.

It will never cease to amaze me how people can overcomplicate simple applications in such a fashion, particularly in JS land. I have never, and likely will never, understand the need for the addition of these bloated libraries on top of barebones React or JS which can achieve the same functionality at a fraction of the bundle size if you're a halfway competent software engineer.

Yes. Sorry, I mean most of them metrics.
Yeah I am joking about the yearning as it's obviously not a thing people think or care about. The hallway shuffle happens while walking down a hallway when someone is coming at you so you move to the left to let them pass but they move to their right (your left) and then you do that stupid little dance as you both swap sides at the same time two or three times before you laugh and move past each other. In countries where people drive on the right this happens far less frequently, almost everybody consistently moves to the right and it's not an issue.
I do not see the hype, just get a fucking flip phone.

Then again, I do live under a rock.
OpenAI already went through a cycle with the Italian authorities (with presumably the German regulator listening in too). The fix was very simple: give users the option not to have their queries used for training.

We are still pretty far from an anti-trust case, which is generally harder to navigate.

GPDR and other EU regulations on privacy and AI have fairly simple principles: if you do something that is not obvious or necessary (like fraud detection), ask for informed consent. Explain what you are doing, make your steps traceable, allow people to be excluded from non-trivial treatment, to delete the personal information they handed over. It makes some processes a little bit harder to set up, but it’s not really a hard lesson you can only learn by being sued for billions. It’s closer to data engineering 101.
I lost a pair of airpods (swiped out of my office at midnight! wtf!?) and to this day I casually open the find my app to check on them, and they bounced around locally for a few days before making their way to somewhere in Turkey. They still seem active, despite being in lost mode (they shouldn't work in lost mode unless there's a known exploit?).

Also, I've tried dozens of times to get my own airpods to play a sound from the find my app, just to see what it sounds like and have never gotten any sound to actually play. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I completely disagree. The master sword is the most boring weapon.

Yes, it does suffer from the “never use my best item cuz I might need it later”-issue that you also have in final fantasy.

I've never used an Apple stylus but my experience with the Samsung stylus is quite good, especially the higher end tablet models. Not having to charge the stylus and the fact they come bundled with their tablets is a nice bonus (often skewing many price comparison websites because they don't take the extra $100 for the stylus into account).

Software support in all art apps I've tried has been excellent. The Android version of Krita on tablets is just the desktop version repackaged into an app, for better or for worse.

I'd assume a USI2 pen will be equally good if not better, as it will also work with other models and brands. That said, I haven't tried these active pens myself, but if my Samsung tablet experience is anything to go by, I'd definitely be willing to give it a go.

Why does money have to have anything to do with it?

There are two justice systems in the US, one for the rich and one for the others. In effect, this is one cog in the machine of systemic racism, as minorities tend to not be part of the rich class.
I think the big difference is the US is customer-focused, and the EU is employee-focused.

To be stereotypical: in the US organisations exist to provide value people choose to pay for (e.g. electric cars; cheap rocketry; cheaper accommodation for travel; cheaper and much more convenient taxis); in the EU they exist to employ people, and hopefully they provide value, but if they don't provide much it's fine because it's pretty difficult to start a competitor anyway.

This isn't unusual. There are plenty of vehicles which don't rely on sales outside of North America in order to justify their engineering costs.

It's simple. The police get a warrant, pursuant to local laws. They show up and arrest someone. That person is put on trial. What happens next, I don't know.

Legal systems do not have to be coherent or logical, only actionable.

For me the magic of BOTW was the way its design encouraged you to approach the game more as an environment for free form play. My best experiences with BOTW were when I turned the HUD off and just enjoyed the world, finding Koroks, clearing enemy camps, but mostly just wandering. There are a lot of design elements that come together to make this play style really rewarding and fun like the density of Korok placements and the way you can easily spot shrines from a distance. I think it's hard to compare BOTW to OOT since they have such different designs. OOT is like a carefully constructed theme park ride where BOTW is more like an enormous playground filled with toys. But BOTW succeeded at giving me the same childlike sense of wonder I had with OOT (despite now being an adult).
I agree.

The article reads like satire. I can’t tell if he’s making fun of the hoops you have to jump through to make a “modern web app”.
This is the part that isn’t even technically hard per se. It’s just hard because there’s literally no way to know what the computer should do because there’s no way to know what a human would even expect.

In many cases reasonable assumptions can be made, e.g. a calendar event for two people in different time zones to meet on a video call almost certainly needs to be scheduled for a proper time (or likely UTC, which is close enough since if you can ignore leap seconds). Although even then I wonder what the two attendees would expect if, between the scheduling of the event and the event itself, both of their local time zones changed their DST rules such that their UTC offset changed by +1 hours. If only one time zone changed its UTC offset we might assume that the previously agreed upon UTC time would hold, but it’s hard to say what the humans would expect if both of their time zones shifted the same way.

- CNN lied about Ivermectin and painted Joe Rogan yellow (and much more)

Outright falsehoods are definitely a thing.

FWIW, Jim Williams was an electronics designer at Linear Technologies (LT, now part of Analog Devices). He had incredible productivity and wrote famously epic application notes.
