That still needed EU approval. Ireland can sell it's beef to the US at a different rate than other EU countries (all Irish beef is grass fed and thus premium grade) again needs EU approval.

The EU doesn't mind exceptions to her rules once it can approve or disapprove of them thus preserving the EU trading bloc. People really do think there is a 'gotcha' though e.g. US President Trump getting schooled by Merkel thinking he could just repeat the question and she would give in. I can assure you though these things are very rules based.
Great term. Sometimes, I think I must live on a different continent.

It comes down to interest I think, for someone with a bunch of devices and online all the time it sounds great when the EU forces USBC through for example. Even though they don't generally have a good view of how ordinary people interpret it either.

But at the far end something like the damage the common agricultural policy has for ordinary europeans is completely lost on them. There would never be any interest in how it impacts people.

Regarding defence spending, it is good this point comes up. It replaced masks during Covid as a clear indicator of where a person gets its information from, or how good they are at critical thinking.
In fact I’m really amazed that Apple is trying to play games trying to circumvent a brand new regulation (the DMA), while totally ignoring the fact that they are amongst he primary targets of those regulations. It’s like they don’t understand that any circumvent will just sharpen the 1.01 version of the regulation.

They are only gaining some time until the next iteration but it just shows that they are afraid they can’t function anymore by just providing greater products than competitors. DMA isn’t banning the App Store, it still can be the number one store and it still can be a money printer. Except that it will have to be better than competitors.
Google very much leans against conservative content. By this point, big tech's suppression of conservative viewpoints is so plainly obvious and widespread as to be Occam's Razor.

I can't argue with that, but the question was about Norwegian rats. The bushy-tailed wood rat isn't even in the same taxonomic family. It's just called a rat.
Idk if it's really conditioning you to their political beliefs with Gemini Images as much as "trying to follow all the modern takes on being non discriminatory AND advertiser AND good PR friendly in every way possible blindly".

LLMs are like employees of the company except if the employee says/does something stupid that causes bad PR, you fire them. If the LLM causes something stupid, you are stuck with it and your company appears inept at it.
> I kind of wish they would just ban every word in the dictionary so we can move on from their control of the web.

You know, when a company doing stupid things cause the entire world to self-censor, it means there's something very wrong with the intended democracy where it's hosted and the other ones letting their people being preyed upon.
They shut down my node, because of a "billing problem". (Card was unlocked for online payments, etc.) In response, I tried in vain to pay in advance, and in response my company is now blacklisted by them. It was for a new deployment, so no harm on my side, but it's kind of comical. I didn't even get around to run any services except for a web server with almost no traffic. (It was for a simple backend service, not for public consumption.)

Kind of comical!

Despite that I wouldn't have minded using them again, but never for something which I don't have redundancy with some other provider I can fall back to. AWS can go wrong too, but I think the risk of getting booted before even starting is very low with them.
That's sad. DigitalOcean has a marketplace, you submit apps to end users one-click run. You build these from a packer snap.

I think programmers and mathematicians are the only ones that model these problems as graphs. I doubt a casual person sees graphs in random real world problems.

And something I learned working in a big corporations, everything can be an excel spreadsheet if you try hard enough.
All LLMs will always have multiple quality issues. A tool that complex can never be perfect.

The AI Startup Journey – Overcoming Early Challenges
I'm also from the EU, not the US but I have a hard time believing that Americans believe that monopolies or large dominant companies represent anything but the corruption of the concept of a market. Anti-trust laws in the US are some of the strongest in the world even if they are rarely enforced. I acknowledge they don't experience the benefits of free markets in many areas but I think they know what they should look like.

> If Musk was a visionary he would have built trains, not cars.

Musk started SpaceX in 2002.
The sheer volume of electric car startup companies shows that Elon Musk was in the right place at the right time. The reason there are a lot of EV startups is because the powertrain is simple. You don’t need an army of engine plants and parts suppliers to build an EV. That is the disruptive part about the EV, which has nothing to do with anything unique to Elon Musk.

Also, he didn’t found the company, he was just an investor. Investors are a dime a dozen and mostly aren’t dinguses on social media, he’s the exception.

Any lawmaker with an ounce of foresight would have recognized the pervasive cookie banners as the logical consequence of the law.

If you give companies an easy copy-and-paste way to get around a single regional law then they will do the quickest dumbest thing possible to get what they want no matter who the visitor is and where they're located.

The EU laws are poorly conceived, poorly written, and now we all have to live with them. They can make privacy laws, but they need to make them better.

I truly believe that the EU ruined the web for everyone with their haphazard legislation. And now they're trying to do it again with AI but thankfully they're just getting blocked now instead of everyone trying to comply.
A lot of the complaints about GG&S are to some degree a complaint about Diamond in general being mapped on to the least offensive of his works, and if that is the only exposure you have to Diamond, it can be seem like the complaints are coming out of left field

Which discredits the entire field. Ad hominem arguments have no place in science. Everyone knows that Newton wrote extensively on the occult but that takes nothing away from his contributions to physics and mathematics.

If I could address his critics as a whole I would say:

Critique the theory on its own, independent of the author. Provide an alternative theory. “It’s complicated” is not a theory.
Well, kind of.

The Z80 and the 6502 (well, 8502 actually) CPUs share the same bus, and so there can only be one CPU running at one point in time. However afaik in CP/M and Z80 mode there are some I/O functions for the keyboard etc that halt the Z80, switch to the 8502, do what they do, and then switch back.

I'm not sure if you can somehow programmatically switch from the Z80 to the 8502 and back, though. I suspect not.
Maybe one of the Musks this person doesn't want would build trains. It's another huge undertaking.
I see a lot of Google hate in this thread.

Curious, who do you recommend using instead (for search, email, AI, etc)?
The idea that anyone who's opposed to narrow government regulations is somehow brainwashed by the Kochs is just an unsufferably smug attitude towards people you disagree with. It's like the "funded by George Soros therefore bad" you sometimes see on the right.

I'm sure they've spent money on promoting this, but there's many reasons you'd come to this conclusion other than having it "manufactured" for you by billionaire conspiracies.

You have to start by considering that your political opponents are capable of thinking for themselves if you want to ever do more than just preach to the choir. Declaring them idiots in the guise of "providing historical context" isn't helpful.
Maybe, but imagine how large a rocket SpaceX would have to build to launch a train into orbit.
Given the degree of the controversy, I think even if it was just simple fixes in system prompts, they would want to take a few weeks of testing and red teaming before re-releasing.
Don't worry, he's just a crank with an axe to grind and not enough facts or imagination to support his argument. Don't worry, anyone who took a minute to think about what he said knows you're right. And calling some someone a 'coward' while flinging poo from behind an anon nick...chef kiss.
In the original article it references internal market and labor unions a dozen times or more. I would say you should read it, but it is not worth your time.
The discussion about Apple is kind-of meh, as apple is not such a big deal in europe, as most phones are not iphones.

But the nostalgic view of the EU as some kind of free market pioneer is stuck in the 90s. Today's world and EU are very different. Nobody rememebrs WW2 and europe is too weak to start another war. The protection from external threat (russia) is coming from the USA, and russia won't last very long anyway. Standardization is something that is happening in all global markets, not just in the EU, and that's how we have resorted to using the same standards with everyone in the world (including on the internet), not just with europe. The USB-C became a global standard because it dominated in the free market , before the EU standardized it. The single market is becoming a laggard , the global markets are dynamic enough to create their own standards, fast, now (e.g electric cars)

Despite costly standardization processes, european brands did not gain in worldwide reach and competitiveness, in fact they have lost for the past 20 years and more. There used to be strong international brands (philips? siemens?) which are now much less global and arguably have lost from chinese and US companies. EU Cars are a strong market, but look at where these cars are made and sold, China is their main target market, not the Single market anymore. You rarely-or never- hear about a EU company that found EU-wide success before it became a global success.

What the EU does have a is a lot of money, to subsidize businesses all over EU , but that has ended up eroding competitiveness, because companies end up competing for funds instead of competing for profits. The single market is of course a great idea, and mandatory in today's globalized world, but the EU today is much more than that.
On my car I can assign one specific function to the left scroll wheel, like the fan speed. What I want is something like the experience of using Windows without a mouse. I should be able to navigate the entire UI without touching the screen.
The European definition of "freedom of speech" interestingly also differs compared to the American one in a very similar way.
It always existed, what didn't exist is using foreign events to attempt to explain local events.

For example you can't analyse French racism issues using the American history of slavery, the end result might be somewhat similar but the historical path is widely different. You can't use the French abortion history to analyse the American one either
> But its not actually a physical travel that activates

This was the little (to no) feedback of a press I was mentioning. Simulating the absolute bare minimum of travel. With the pressure sensors and the piezoelectric actuators it becomes a super-expensive, overengineered button simulator that works almost as well as the real thing.

Even Apple dropped the fancier 3D touch completely, and the less fancy Force touch is just for trackpads. Everything else is the cheaper Haptic touch doing away with pressure sensors entirely. It was fine for my iPhone 8 home button and old watch.

But a car is different. A hazard light button has ~5mm of travel. Blinker or wiper stalks have centimeters of travel. Same for rotary knobs. They're also well spaced from each other with hard to confuse actuation methods. In noisy and vibration prone environments, with time sensitive requirements, you want to have very clear and distinct ways to act and receive feedback that actions were performed, especially if critical for safety.
> If Musk was a visionary he would have built trains, not cars

Cars are not going anywhere and train lines are incredibly hard to build [1]. You have to work with the world you have, not with a perfect green field dream.

[1] You need massive amounts of connected land, a lot of it in places where land is really expensive and people are not willing to sell to you easily. Additionally, you have building restrictions (not a lot of cities will let you bulldoze hundreds of homes for your train line) and - I can't stress this enough - all of this land needs to be connected, which makes avoiding problematic areas just so much harder.
Also we have been using digital cash for decades now.

Capitalism is like a cancer, it will grow endlessly and will become feudalism. Socialism is the government applying rules to capitalism, so it doesn't get out of control.

US policy of neo-liberalism is growing in Europe too, which is giving problems.
> “We definitely messed up on the image generation,” Brin said Saturday. “I think it was mostly due to just not thorough testing. It definitely, for good reasons, upset a lot of people.”

This tells me he doesn’t get it, or at least wont say it publicly. It’s a cultural problem. It clearly was trained or aligned with some massive biases.
There’s a lot of profiling tools. There’s even one in the browser’s inspector. It’s not something exclusive to XCode. You can even use Task Manager/Activity Monitor/System Monitor in a pinch.
That's around the time that the Google Now feed became blatantly opinionated. It would find articles about things that I'm interested that were also related to political hot topics, and if I clicked the button to tell it I wasn't interested in the hot topic, the only option was to tell it I wasn't interested in the topic I am. Even if there was plenty of content about the topic I am interested in that wasn't being tied into the zeitgeist.

I've tried reporting them, and constantly told this is OK with community standards.
No, it's because they are lazy, not because of political beliefs. The product is just a cash grab.

Put it this way: the mindset of a company like google in their approach to moderation is to automate as much of it as possible. They hate using human labor to do manual daily tasks.

So they don't want to test and rate the quality output of Gemini over time.
Turning Waste into Charcoal in Uganda
This doesn't necessarily follow. Planes became pressurized and got oxygen masks, it's very unlikely that cars ever do. Having steel cables and/or hydraulic lines for the 4-6 dimensions of aircraft controls adds up to some serious extra weight worth fighting for on a plane, while one steel rod might never be more problematic than the heap of problems its absence creates.

As long as the steering wheel is there it might as well be connected to the rack, forever.

Hair-loss breakthrough found in keratin microspheres
As far as I remember, there was debate around that valuation.

"Early investors filed suit in New York against FanDuel's board for breach of fiduciary duty in allegedly undervaluing FanDuel to enrich themselves."
( FanDuel Wikipedia )

There was some unusual relationships in the deal, and the valuation of the company post-purchase was dramatically larger.

Not sure if suit is public, but article:

"The new lawsuit claims that the board – which allegedly included only one independent director and six directors tied to KKR and Shamrock – priced the value of FanDuel’s stake in the merged company at about $559 million. That number, the suit alleges, was no coincidence. Under FanDuel’s operative bylaws, preferred shareholders were due to receive all of the first $559 million from any merger."[1]

We have trains, lots of them, all sorts, from 350kph intercity trains to flywheel powered ones the size of a bus. Some are driven and crewed by guards, some are driver only, some are fully automatic.

What could he bring to the world of trains?

When Musk got involved in Tesla, the idea of an electric car was laughable.
Sure. But one can take the occasion, and the fact US pro-life activists are everywhere from Ireland to Africa, and leap-frog this whole thing and ammend the constitution. Like, you know, accepting social and political realities and doing the right thing for once.
France tried to stay independent after the war. Hence the refusal to join NATO, the powerful cultural industry of the 60s, the nuclear industry after the 70s oil crisis, the attempts at a third way with the now BRICS countries.

Since the 80s, it's over, France has been led financially by Germany, culturally by the USA, and its politicians are trained abroad or work abroad after having done their worst inside.

Nuclear power is really the best example, France was the world leader, then the Germans pushed it to abandon everything including its future Phoenix program. France sold everything to the USA, and now the USA is launching a nuclear program in Eastern Europe, and they call it Phoenix...
>EU citizens haven't been brainwashed into thinking that their government is their enemy

The government is the most powerful entity in society. If brainwashing is to happen, it's almost certain to be done by the state and its allies.

The last 80 years is a history of growing government power and public agreement with the narrative that expansive government control is good:
