"Companies that are found to be using any of the above AI applications in the EU will be subject to fines, regardless of where they are headquartered. They could be on the hook for up to €35 million (~$36 million), or 7% of their annual revenue from the prior fiscal year, whichever is greater."

US did a real gift to the world with "extra-territorial" laws: now EU use it everywhere too !!!! :-)

Sooooo... the GAFAM either will have to "limit" some of their AI system when used in EU (NOT including EU citizen that may be abroad, but including foreign citizen in the EU) or to be fined.

And I guess that this kind of fines may accumulate with GDPR for example...

I don't share the confidence in large ships being the future of naval anything. Even in the 90s, surface ships were easy pickings for submarines and antiship missiles. Smaller ships acting as drone carriers combined with arsenal ships can allow local power projection to keep shipping lanes open.

Submarines and aircraft remain the safest, and best way to deliver offensive firepower. The aircraft carrier does have a role, but it is far behind the contact line.

It sounds like an arbitrary limit set by some engineer without too much thought and without the incentive to document their decision. I do this sometimes as well when dealing with untrusted data. Sometimes you don't want to have to think about the knock on effects of supporting large file sizes and it's easier to just tell the client please don't do that.
There are certain file types that are excluded by default, but you can adjust these in BB's Prefs.

Arguably they should, there probably would be a (huge) price premium for that insurance to be worthwhile, and it would also represent the former externality that the nuclear lobby like to forget about when comparing apples & oranges of energy supply. If people want to pay (a huge premium) to have nuclear power rather than say renewables, let them, but let there be a level playing field and let the disaster-insurance and decommissioning cost be factored into that price.
Then see if there is any actual demand.

> Actually enforcing immigrations laws

Your last administration and congress tried to get a tighter grip on immigration, but it got blocked.

The "concessions" from Canada and Mexico that they made in order to avoid the tariffs were planned since end of last year.

> stop letting countries take advantage of us economically

That's _incredibly_ rich coming from a US citizen.

A country that has been continuously waging war, has been spying on their allies privately and publicly at a massive scale, is living on an ever increasing private and public debt, has been strongarming smaller countries, including allies and including neutral countries, in order to adhere to their economic and legal demands. And is primarily responsible for two of the largest economic crisis in recent history.

Give me a break...

> cut stupid government waste

Cutting waste is always good. That's common sense. Your administration hasn't however proven that they will do that in any meaningful way so far. I would have started with the 100mio in golf outings or the massive "defense" budget.

From here all of this theater looks like regular old corruption.

> cut out the identity politics and DEI wasteful bullshit

I'm not familiar with how "DEI wasteful bullshit" actually manifests. What I'm however familiar with is that this and other acronyms are constantly used to lie, distract and divide. Shortly after recent disasters "DEI" was blamed by your admin before any proper analysis could even be made. That's shameful behavior and not something to be proud of.

If China acted quickly in disabling American military assets in the region, it is conceivably possible that Taiwanese people could be demoralized and surrender to the PRC before America has a chance to muster more forces to the region. Even if this definitely wouldn't be possible, it's still possible that the PRC thinks otherwise and will try it, as Japan once did.
A disk image is just a file though. Does it do some sort of analysis of files and block disk images somehow?

High inflation discourages high debt.

High inflation effectively front loaded loans that had fixed repayments (such as mortgage repayments) and the high interest rates that went with them (they move togeter - its called the Fisher Effect - https://moneyterms.co.uk/fisher-effect/ ) meant lenders were willing to lend a much lower multiple or income.

It's silly but some of it is true. Curtis Yarvin is a monarchist and believes countries should be run as a company with a tech CEO as king, ska dark enlightenment. Peter Thiel believe in his ideas, he funded JD Vances career. Musk seems to be onboard, if not just to enrich himself and achieve his Mars goals. Other tech billionaires are as well.

Their goal seems to be to dismantle the federal government and buy up assets and land. Then form micro countries like above with themselves as king/CEO.

These old files nevertheless contain valuable data that I want to keep. Converting them to the new, much improved format would take serious efforts.
What are some of the broken promises?

I'm not well informed on the subject and now you've got me really curious.
As someone who has lived through Eurostar and Horizon 2020, and who has participated as both a researcher and corporate partner, I can say: it does not work.

Yes, I have mainly put awkward usages in the latter section, which will hopefully be useful to the author. If you compare the paragraphs, the outright grammatical problems I simply fixed. The author’s language is definitely comprehensible to a patient listener, but it can be much better still.
> On the other hand this means shifting responsibility to deal with past mistakes onto somebody else.

This was just one example. Let me give another one:

In some industries for audit reasons you have to keep lots of old data in case some auditor or regulator asks questions. In such a situation, the company cannot say "hey sorry, we changed our data format, so we cannot provide you the data that you asked for." - this will immediately get the company into legal trouble. Instead, while one is allowed to improve things, perfect capability to handle the old data has to be ensured.
because generating those definitionally takes no effort, rather than there being circumstances (which with photography i would say are not the norm) where this is the case.
Can you expand on the argument? You might as well have invested the 2021 "value" (regardless of in which currency it was disbursed) into some non-inflationary asset (like bitcoin, gold or some index fund) -- that should make you feel equally bad.
C doesn't have syntax/typesystem to express ownership, lifetimes and thread safety, but Rust does.

Personally I'd love if C was extended to be able define APIs more precisely, but that's not a realistic option at the moment.
There isn't even any vendor-specific solution to this in C (the hodgepodge of attributes barely scratches the surface). Linux would have to invent its own interface definition language and make C and Rust adopt it. That means more changes for the C maintainers.

The C standard moves very slowly, and avoids making non-trivial changes. I'm still waiting for slices (pointer+length type).
Rust is here today, and won't stop for a dream of C that may or may not happen in 2050.
Hey @dbtc, I did think about doing this but originally decided to try and find another solution. Reason being that atm my current directory structure is nested (with a variable length of nesting), and I also wanted to be able to use the audio files from anywhere in the app, which means outside of the dungeons directory. But you bringing it up again makes me think if I'm realistically going to be using them outside of the dungeons either way. Also, even if the main folder containing the audio files is called something else, as long as I have a flatter directory structure, I can make it work. I'll consider a flatter more predicable approach since having the audio files for each word is much more beneficial than not.

Thank you!

I'm speculating here based on my experience working on a storage fabric product in the past.

First - it's sensible to have limits to the size of the block list. These systems usually have a metadata layer and a block layer. In order to ensure a latency SLO, some reasonable limits to the number of blocks need to be imposed. This also prevents creating files with many blocks of small sizes. More below.

Second - Usually blocks are designed to match some physical characteristics of the storage device, but 10 MB doesn't match anything. 8MB might be a block size for an SSD or a HDD, or 72MB=9*8MB might be a block size with 9:16 erasure coding, which they likely have for backup use-cases. That being said, it's likely the block size is not fixed to 10 MB and could be increased (or decreased). Whether or not the client program that does the upload is aware of that, is a different problem.
> I don't think you would find a single customer who would go "what, only 1TB files?"

I think you will find that there are people that see "limit <humongous>" and pick the "no limit" or no limit stated option.

You are jumping the gun here.
