> Laws can be iterated on.

For Americans, this concept seems to be almost alien given the (at least from an European POV) more or less constant gridlock between House, Senate, Presidency and whatever the 50 states make out of that regarding enforcement.

Or, to put it differently, they prefer the Wild West and barely self-regulated markets because they have completely lost any trust in government to create and modernize laws - a viewpoint that does make sense given the ridiculous age of key players in Congress. Feinstein is 90 years old, both likely Presidential candidates are over 75, Senators' median age is 65. How can anyone expect these people to even understand modern issues?!

I think this is also the cause why so many American companies failed or have massive difficulties entering the European market. They simply cannot think that other countries have governments that actually govern and regulatory agencies that don't take it well if foreign companies try to buy their way out of trouble.

> OpenAI finds it worthwhile. So I guess they are working out pretty well.

The trade-off is pretty different for OpenAI because the maximum penalty for violating the GDPR is 4% of worldwide annual revenue. Google has a lot of revenue, from unrelated projects, and it makes sense to me that they would be reluctant to risk that on Bard. OpenAI doesn't, so the threat is effectively far smaller for them.
Really, the raison d'être of the Model S and Model X was twofold. One: to prove that electric cars are not the poor cousin of the combustion car. They can be just as good and in some ways superior. Two: to make enough cash for Tesla to afford the third step in Tesla's Secret Master Plan (which Musk wrote in 2006).

Both these reasons are now defunct. The EV no longer has anything to prove, and Tesla now has a much better source of cash in the 3/Y. I suppose the S/X still have residual relevance as a halo product for the Tesla brand, but they don't need them to be in every market to serve that function.
Yes, but 20 years for this dude is a bit excessive, no? Especially when nobody was killed or injured?
ChatGPT runs just fine. This is Google not wanting to comply.
Europe stopped being the largest market a few years ago.

I’m 2021, the eu gdp was US$17.2T [0]. I think that makes them #3 after China at $17.7[1] and the US at $23.2 [2].

So it’s not that odd that Google and others would prioritize other, larger markets above EU. But still seems pretty bone headed of google to not be capable of including such massive populations and markets at launch. Perhaps they could have used some of those 13k fired workers on this launch.

Okay, now I have to know what this job is.
I quite frankly don’t care what EU does. They’ve not been innovating at all there. They took a bunch of Chinese money and now they’re doing everything they can to harm US tech firms…while the US is de facto defending them with own tax money in Ukraine.

I cannot wait for EUZ to fail.
I'm maybe a bit nostalgic but I think the Nintendo Switch from a form-factor standpoint along with the tiny game cartridges is the best console made to date. Of course others are more powerful, etc. and I think Nintendo needs to up it just a little bit (1080p on the Switch screen, etc.) but it's just such a pleasure for me to play.

I also like that some games like Disco Elysium, Neverwinter Nights, etc. - these older PC games which work fine on Switch are being ported over. Happy to pay a little more to get the physical cartridge and play it on the Switch - though paying $55.99 for Skyrim seems a little steep to me so I'll continue playing that on Gamepass.

Waiting for my copy of Tears of the Kingdom to arrive today. In the meantime I'm finishing up Metroid: Dread and enjoying that quite a bit too!
Laws can change, but if hard damage is done, there is usually nothing you can do about.

AI at the moment is moving fast and unreasonable, we already have first waves of victims. Putting a lid on it, and slowing it down seems reasonable, even if it won't be a perfect solution. Interesting part is, this is pretty similar to the situation in 2020, when the pandemia started. Nobody knew exactly what's coming and to navigate it, but everyone tried their best to survive what everyone saw unfolding on global scale.

I had a colleague running a rhd Mazda Miata in an lhd country. He would just use some waste pickup tool/pliers to extend his arm and present his parking card at the garage entry or to pay the highway tolls with his credit card.

It is more annoying when you are following a slow truck on a small road and you would like to be able to overtake but can't see it easily. But most people these days aren't comfortable enough to overtake and are willing to wait indefinitely. It seems like shifting down a floor the accelerator pedal is a lost art and it doesn't help that with hybrid cars all cars become automatic. Having driven my mother in law honda automatic SUV, I could just wait a few seconds before the auto gearbox actually decide to shift down.

So not super practical but no big deal either.
So what laws in Canada and the EU that are not on the books in the UK, US, India and Japan prevents Google from rolling this out?

Is there actual something substantial or is it performative on Google's part?
Strangely the EU has no laws on the books about them accepting responsibility for unintended consequences of legislation ... when that is more or less the same problem.
Then how is the Pixel 7a only £450 when it's $500 in the US?
The EU AI act is more for protecting people from being exploited by companies and institutions and having AI take the fall.

Basically what they're trying to prevent, is that you can't deny someone welfare, or an insurance claim, or a close their bank account with the justification that "computer says NO"[1]. For every such decision, a human should be at the wheel who can bring a legal fitting justification and be responsible for it.

I have rewritten my blog a few times...

From a static HTML/CSS site to Ruby on Rails. From Rails to a pure Go MVC with my own templating format. From the custom Go server to static HTML/CSS on Github pages; to finally a Next.js with server side rendering and using markdown with frontmatter.

I think the point of blogging is to do crazy things you can't get away with at work :)
I love to code, but at 55 and still having a teenager to send to college, I can make more $$ as a project manager/architect. So I don't get to code as much professionally - just watch other people do it...

I'm not even sure I could pick up a job with 100% coding at 55+.

Surveillance capitalism isn't necessary for society to function. I can live just fine without google, fb and tiktok serving me ads. I can store my files in the cloud just fine without microsoft and google scanning them. Navigation apps work just fine without uploading location history to google. A lot of those so-called "innovations" aren't necessary.
I think this verbiage is a little bit more provocative than is necessary, but it's still _true_. I've met with, worked with, and chatted with a lot of founders (both in the 'indie hackers' / lifestyle businesses sense and in the YC / venture-backed sense) and the gulf between people who are running something because they have a keen understanding and kinship with the problem that they are solving and people who "always wanted to start a business and do the whole founder thing" [^1] is... dramatic. The latter cohort is _much_ more inclined to invest in branding, meta-structure, and 'big-picture thinking' as opposed to finding design partners [^2], doing duct-tape work, and so on.

> This is evidenced by the surge in infections a child (or a new nursing or medical student) receives on starting daycare/hospital.

I don't think this is evidence that getting sick as a nurse in daycare is good for you. This only evidences that people adapt to an repeat infection and environment with pathogens.

The comparison should be made against a person that never had to go to daycare and never had to get sick there -> would they be more or less healthy.

The priority of an AAA game developer is to provide as much graphic fidelity for a specific compute budget, not to consume the least compute for a specific graphic fidelity. If they "optimize that stuff better", the outcome wouldn't (and shouldn't!) be a lower usage of system resources but rather fitting in even more graphic details while still capping out all resources.

They do obviously have the reasonable right to demand all the system resources that are available, because a game is usually an immersive experience that is the only important thing running on the system at that time, and the only purpose of those greatly increased system resources is to be used for gains in visual quality - there's no reason to not try and use all of that compute power of what would have been considered supercomputers just a few years ago.
true. that franchise is doing consecutive home runs and that's an rare fact in itself.
I am pretty sure that regardless of where you are if you sell a product in the eu that violates eu law you will be fined. Furthermore you may be banned from selling in the eu all together. Meaning legit ai companies in the eu will flourish while ai companies not following the rules will miss out on the richest market.

So in effect the eu is protecting it’s citizens work from theft and companies from unethical competition.

> Google is presumably not competent or willing here to uphold or conform to important law in a leading democratic region

The fact they are democratic doesn't make all the laws they pass good or worthwhile to "implement".

A key difference here. Google is following the law. They are not implementing the standard that the EU requires because that standard requires overhead.

Google has probably just done the math and realized the effort isn't worth the reward. They'll probably change that once things exit beta.

And if they don't, that's likely the EUs fault more than it is Google. Google isn't just banning the EU for fun, they want that extra reach and money for sure.
Google have felt the sharp end of EU regulations several times, at a cost measured in billions of Euros

I would describe myself as someone 'in the trenches' of web dev as a consultant and I wanted to say that I respect this more knowing it's from Kent C. Dodds. I considered buying his React course, though I haven't, but I respect his knowledge and opinions; and for what it's worth, if Kent C. Dodds considers this to be an excellent stack, I would give it serious consideration. If you consider yourself to be an indie hacker, or follow people who do, then this deserves your consideration too, as Dodds is essentially coming from that background.
> While I own a few HP calculators, my favorite is still the HP-28. Not sure why it isn't as remembered as the other models,

I've been a big 48 fan for years. (The 48 and the 28 are very similar.)

I think they both suffer a bit from design overreach. The devices are very capable, but the capability can make them more cumbersome to use than earlier, simpler devices. And then the 28 has the problem that with the flip out case it isn't really a handheld.

The result is that compared to contemporary calculators they were more difficult to use and compared to contemporary computers they weren't nearly as capable. So they fell into a gap, and there wasn't enough life left in the calculator market left to fund a way out.

Another way of looking at this is that the 28 was a v1 product, the 48 was a v2 product, and there wasn't ever the v3 product (where v3 is usually where products hit their stride). I don't really count the 49 or 50 because by that time, the calculator division had been radically restructured and those products were the output of a very different kind of engineering process. (No offense to Jean-Yves Avenard, who did great work within the constraints of the time.)
If you consistently fine a company for breaking your rules, you can't then demand access to their products that might break your rules.

> ...and then also somehow end up giving a bunch of money to its telcos.

A funny but probably true prediction. Brussels loves handing money to PTTs the way the US Congress loves handing it out to Raytheon.
The inconsistency is that they voted for the spending (and tax cuts) that caused us to reach the debt ceiling. If they wanted to not spend that money it should have been negotiated as part of _that_ process.

And that’s before pointing out that holding the nations credit hostage only happens by GOP legislators when there is a democrat president.

It’s political hypocrisy of the worst sort that has the most likelihood of hurting the most Americans of any decision the federal government can make.

Sketch of a client-side scanning architecture that uses (two-party) MPC between the client and the Provider. The client inputs the content to be scanned, while the server provides its secret model and/or hash database. The protocol gives the provider a copy of the user’s content if and only if the model says it’s illicit content, otherwise the provider sees nothing. (Note in this variant, the output goes only to the Provider.)

Is AI a threat to human artists?
No, I'd go further and argue that the root cause of what you see as the destruction of the internet is the entire industry responsible for those privacy and tracking issues.

Edit: As pointed out by others in response to your comment, the same industry who decided to act like petulant children and take the most user-hostile approach - the one I'd assume you're lamenting - in reaction to the GDPR even though they didn't have to.
Nobody had their life destroyed, except maybe the idiot youtuber. He already paid with all the ridicule he's getting. That is deterrent enough. It's not like "faking plane crashes for likes" is common at all. You're really not making any sense.

Geoffrey Hinton, Stuart Russell and other AI leaders are warning us that there are existential risks, if only due to the inevitable creation of autonomous murder machines by the military (Hinton and Russell are both worried about things beyond that, by the way). I’ll take their word for it and not only on the basis of their authority - they have very well put arguments.

OpenAI is also playing it safe to some extent, maybe to please the general public and serve the org’s own interests, or maybe they are genuinely concerned about real safety threats, who knows. At any rate their actions don’t align with your discourse.
you seem to imply that enforcing legislation means its "working". this is obviously a pre-requisite. legislation that is not enforced is a joke.

but as clearly stated in my comment, this is fighting the old model, not building a new one.
This is the balance of powers between the EU and the US. The EU is too big and profitable market to ignore, so it can get away with significant degree of autonomy - but not too much, thanks to US having a lot of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and the EU countries approximately zero.

I implemented parallel decompression a while back. It is in Solaris 11.3 and later.

Shortly after submitting a PR the code went through major surgery, and my patch then needed a similar amount of surgery. Oracle then whacked most of the Solaris org, and I don’t think this ever got updated to work with the current pigz.
For compression efficiency, it makes sense to have one large common dictionary. For compression speed, it is easier to have a dictionary per chunk.
I still hope they use the common dictionary; if so, any change in the beginning likely affects further parts if it affects the dictionary and thus the way how the later parts are compressed. Same for farther parts affecting the way earlier parts are compressed.

Pretty tired of hearing this, the EU law does not mandate tracking pop-ups, it basically just says “you cannot collect information about a person without their consent”.

There are a million ways to do that, like not collecting data in the first place unless a user opts-in to your research group for example.

But companies chose the most user-hostile one intentionally. Essentially forcing everyone to give consent anyways (just click the big bright “consent” button!)

The fact that you’re able to maintain any amount of privacy at all on the internet is thanks to the EU, you can decline the pop-ups. If it wasn’t for that, then you wouldn’t even know when companies were abusing your data in the first place.
