Section 12 would indicate otherwise.

Subsection (3):

>A duty to operate a service using proportionate systems and processes designed to—

>(a) prevent children of any age from encountering, by means of the service, primary priority content that is harmful to children

Pornography is included in "primary priority content".

Subsection (4) then goes on to say

>The duty set out in subsection (3)(a) requires a provider to use age verification or age estimation (or both) to prevent children of any age from encountering primary priority content that is harmful to children which the provider identifies on the service.

Subsection (5):

>That requirement applies to a provider in relation to a particular kind of primary priority content that is harmful to children in every case except where—

>(a)a term of service indicates (in whatever words) that the presence of that kind of primary priority content that is harmful to children is prohibited on the service, and

>(b)that policy applies in relation to all users of the service.

Or, on other words, if there is the possibility of people posting anything that can be considered pornographic, you must implement strong age verification.

And it's also not only targeted services. Yes, Section 12 says only applies to services "likely to be accessed by children", but if you read Ofcom's guidance that is incredibly, ridiculously broad.

To quote from their "Children's access assessments guidance":

>Even if your service does not actively target children or seeks to limit access to children below a certain minimum age, it may still be of a kind likely to attract a significant number of children.

And some examples of content types from that document that suggests you might attract a significant number of children:

* Art, music, singing, photography, videography, drawing, painting, cooking,
drama and acting, crafts, creative writing, beauty and makeup and fashion.

* Content about future careers and finance.

* Content about wellness, health and fitness

* Content enabling the development of new skills.

* Informal political commentary
It's wild how bad it has gotten since the election. It's important to remember that free speech does not protect directly inciting violence and it does not protect advocating for the murder of anyone, even a politician. These are generally illegal

So what Reddit has morphed into, is an illegal content factory - there has already been a comment or two about it from the government and the Trump admin is not one that is likely to sit on my sidelines over this.

Whatever your politics may be, I'm just saying this is going to burn Reddit bad.
It is.

Without much fuss.

I mean look, the details may vary but the core holds. The businesspeople running EUs communications are directly involved with the openly hostile US government and directly try to influence politics and create rage with the European public.

The current open markets model is not working, time to copy from the success stories: Ban foreign ones or force them to become local.

The current politicians are still in denial but as things deteriorate things will have to happen. Unlike US, European politics are not just two parties having about the same support.

Things can get very spicy very quickly. You think the anti-establishment ones are pro-American? The most pro-American politicians are those in power or those who recently lost power to the anti-establishment.

Pretty much non of the anti-establishent are pro-American(with the exception of UK with Farage) and with Musk targeting Farage I'm sure they took a note on how transactional their relationship with the US anti-establishment is.
Part 5B: Escaping the Typechecker, an Implementation
It's rather problematic for service providers in the USA: Europe is quite a huge market to lose (as well as a significant source for talents), and other markets may as well follow the switch.

There _are_ working alternatives locally for businesses and administrations, only small because so far, most preferred to procure from the USA.

Now that there is a significant incentive not to do so anymore, maybe europeans providers will get a chance to grow and improve.

I'm referring to actions that can be observed in the vast majority of countries. There are two main cases here, which, surprisingly, are rarely discussed in the media.

The first case is when the state openly violates certain rights concerning individuals or groups, often under some pretext. An example could be a situation where you run an independent political website, and suddenly, it gets taken down by your ISP because they have received an ORDER from the intelligence agency, claiming that what you write is dangerous propaganda. Meanwhile, your constitution guarantees you freedom of speech. Another example might be someone being imprisoned for several months without a verdict or a concrete charge. Simply because they have fallen out of favour with the wrong people and are punished for it. I know this may sound like something that only happens in a 3rd-world country, but it is occurring in nearly all Western nations - it's just that the media choose not to report on it.

The second case is when a law is introduced, usually under a very appealing name - something like "The Environmental Protection Act". After all, who wouldn't want to protect the environment? Then, you suddenly discover that you are not allowed to build a private hydroelectric power plant on your own land because it is deemed illegal. This is happening in almost every country. When was the last time you heard about a law that removed restrictions? One that expanded civil liberties? Probably a long time ago. And yet, new laws are constantly being introduced.
Yes, it _can_. Sure.

You rlly think the vogons have made prank pizza orders, swatted him, or anything like that?

C'mon, get real. Here is a new comment that you can downvote just because you hate the statement. He didn't get as much appreciation and accolade on social media as he wanted. That's basically it. Without knowing any details about the case. I know humans, and the story is obvious. ;)

ARMv7 also meets these criteria, and is very nice to use. Available inline in BBC Basic on the Acorn Archimedes.
I mean, sure, but it depends a lot along which dimension you make the comparison. There, you are looking at a shot in broad daylight, on modern film, printed at a small size. To make it more obvious, here's a comparison: The daylight shot printed at small size[1] appears fairly detailed. The same film, same photographer, same camera, etc. only at night and presented as an ostensibly high-resolution picture[2] starts to reveal the problems with the older tech.

Usually the cameras themselves are fine – we perfected optics enough to not be a problem on 35 mm film in the 1800s – it's the medium on which the image is recorded that is more finicky. However, if we put the old optics onto modern sensors, we would start to notice its problems too. I don't have an example at hand, but there's noticeable chromatic aberration (no problem on black and white film!) among other things.

>Imagine if Guile could be used, say, to override the logic by which a target is considered out of date with respect to its prerequisites.

That is exactly what I was recently hoping for.

Make-as-library is such a compelling idea that I feel like it must have already been done, but I searched for something like this recently and the closest I found was Java's Ant, which gets the as-library part but sadly has no concept of "target is already up-to-date"...
Well, if they prefer a black candidate to a white one, the white one can complain of being discriminated against and accuse them of promoting DEI, which under the new administration can have all sorts of bad consequences for them. So they'd better play it safe and hire the white candidate...

> Minimum effective doses are powerful. But, they require precision.

And it's also important to think about the fact that an MED doesn't get you the biggest effect size. It's the minimum to get a desired effect, but that doesn't mean you get the most of that effect.

You may get more fit in 20 minutes per week than if you did zero, but you certainly can't match someone who works out 5 times a week.

An MED is great for something necessary you want to get out of the way. But this kind of thinking takes the joy out of doing things you thoroughly enjoy and perfecting minute details nobody else will ever care about, just because you care so much about the craft.
No third party ads like you might be thinking, but a lot of in-app upsells for discord nitro (their pro tier), server boosts, custom emotes and stuff like that. Their monetization scheme is very twitch-like, I’d not be surprised if they don’t like you using third party clients that don’t shove all of that in your face.
The price is the same as 1 Gbps ($30/mo) and I built the router out of $100 of parts, so it's kind of why not? It's nice when there are 10 GB updates to download, running off-site backups, and I can host whatever stuff I want out of my home instead of paying for a VPS on someone else's machine and worrying if it doesn't have enough RAM or something.
There's still time. The situation in which you can effectively replace your OCR vendor with hitting LLM APIs via a half-assed Python script ChatGPT wrote for you, has existed for maybe few months. People are only beginning to realize LLMs got good enough that this is an option. An OCR vendor that starts working on the shift today, should easily be able to develop, tune, test and productize an LLM-based OCR pipeline way before most of their customers realize what's been happening.

But it is a good opportunity for a fast-moving OCR service to steal some customers from their competition. If I were working in this space, I'd be worried about that, and also about the possibility some of the LLM companies realize they could actually break into this market themselves right now, and secure some additional income.

EDIT:

I get the feeling that the main LLM suppliers are purposefully sticking to general-purpose APIs and refraining from competing with anyone on specific services, and that this goes beyond just staying focused. Some of potential applications, like OCR, could turn into money printers if they moved on them now, and they all could use some more cash to offset what they burn on compute. Is it because they're trying to avoid starting an "us vs. them" war until after they made everyone else dependent on them?

I must agree, but I think the global public's awareness has been shocked into growth. I find the biggest problem with social media is actually user error. Unfortunately social media apps have become so complex that many have given up on curating their feeds. This is critical. If you can tune your social media to show you _interesting_ things, you can stay informed, possibly get good context, and not lose your mind.

Medium to some extent and large format can produce some exceptional image quality (Sharpness, details and contrast). Cliché at this point but Ansel Adams work still look very modern today.
They where however slow, heavy ,difficult to work with and extremely expensive so most people stuck to small format when they became available .
In fact I would bet that most pictures taken before small format took over look better technically than after it took over
It’s funny seeing the forecast is for $9.67 in 12 months time. It reminds me how it’s so easy to project based purely on the numerical patterns and not including the external event that created the numbers.
> I think this is one of those ideas that has been spouted for so long that we don't really stop to think about whether it is true.

A lot of people with considerable expertise in the area have looked into whether it's true. They almost always come to the same conclusion: overall it's a wash.

If you look closer some industries (like say your corner coffee shop in a big city) are clearly better off private, and others like roads and fire fighting don't work when privately held.

In general a competitive market will out-do public owned, free markets that aren't competitive are worse than public owned.

But there are always exceptions. A fine example is the health system. I don't know why, but as the US demonstrates even with a competitive health market public ownership outperforms a purely private system by a fairly large margin.
Never a better example of Dunning-Kruger than the DOGE kids.
The very first (and probably hand-picked & checked) example on your website [0] suffers from the very problem people are talking about here - in "Fiscal 2024" row it contains an error for CEO CAP column. On the image it says "$234.1" but the parsed result says "$234.4". A small error, but error nonetheless. I wonder if we can ever fix these kind of errors with LLM parsing.

I agree. The first time I heard the name I had the same impression.
Markdown being so ubiquitous is what makes it valuable, IMO. Do you think AsciiDoc has the potential to reach that point as well?
> A more apt comparison would be to craft a cooking tool that makes your work easier, or possible at all. (e.g a pot)

Which is funny because almost nobody ever makes their own cooking tools. Most people are happy to buy off the shelf—just like software.

I don't disagree that the comparison isn't perfect, but your take just spelled out why this home-cooked software idea is pretty unlikely.

I think this is especially true because Gen Z/Alpha seem to actually be less tech-savvy than previous generations.

I have come across several websites on which Cloudflare blocks my devices, whatever I use. No Captcha, just blocked. I tried a stock iPhone (Safari, no blockers, no VPN, no iCloud relay, both on wifi or 4G), and a Windows PC with Firefox, Chrome, or Edge, no luck. That includes a website of a local business so that can't be the country either.

I have no idea why.
The counter argument I’ve seen presented is that merit based systems favor a white centric system because they have more access to resources like higher education and thus it’s easier for them to compete at a higher level and misrepresent the actual competition.

Vivek Ramiswamy debated Mark Cuban on YouTube and they spoke about this and that was my takeaway.

Couldn’t find the original so here is a snippet it’s a good debate.

> - It is better to not use social media. You never know if you are discussing with normal person, a political party troll, or Russian troll.

Completely valid, but there is a middleground of very deliberately curating your social media:

- Avoid using services that are engineered for outrage and views

- be ruthless with who you follow and block (someone trying to drum up some unimportant javascript outrage? get them off your feed)

- for twitter-likes, mute phrases from your timeline like crazy (included in my muted words is plainly trump, kamala, elon, gop, democrats, doge, dei, covid, etc)

- always be skeptical that everyone else online is some PSYOP effort, even those that share views you politically align with

It is possible to use social media, but you must have agency over it and not allow it to just happen to you. That's why I'm much more enthusastic about decentralised/open and non-commercial social networks because they currently give users much more control.
Of course it isn't made for me, and I do not expect it to be. The fact that you assume so points to a lack of empathy on your end, something that I think most Americans could really use more of right now.

As another sibling comment previously stated, this forum is mainly for employees of US tech companies. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that this forum could do more to keep the number of polarizing non-tech topics to a minimum - there are plenty of other forums where those discussions can and do happen. It's not like there's a tech twist to the political discussions here anyway, it's just poop flinging like everywhere else.
Are there any publicly traded cloud companies in the EU besides OVH, IONOS and Nebius?

I have looked into these 3 so far and was not too impressed. Would like to look at more, if there are some.
The two approaches that work best are:

- learn assembly as subroutines inside your "daily driver" language on your regular PC, which is going to be x64

- microcontroller with in-circuit debugger where you can connect it to flashing lights (obvious candidate is Arduino, which is AVR, or STM32 which is ARM)

Back in the day the first of these was easier in environments like BBC Basic inline assembler or MS-DOS COM files (which are headerless executables that can be extremely small.) You could also learn either of those in emulators.
That's fair. I'm sure it's not as well-used/known as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Probably not even Opera, although I'd be interested to see their respective "new users" numbers. I think it's in the same ballpark as Brave — definitely known, just not one of the big 5.
Channel 4's been doing it too, in fact absolutely loads of their shows are on YouTube now and they do it as a weekly release, so for example last week they posted the first episode of "Celebrity Hunted" season 6, and then a week later episode 2, etc.

Take a look at their playlists to see what I mean, tons of stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@Channel4/playlists

They've also got other channels, eg you can watych most of grand designs over here: https://www.youtube.com/@Channel4Homes/playlists

Guessing they realised its more profitable to use someone elses bandwidth and run ads.
The frustration for me is then which "flavored" version of markdown you're now using, because the evolution seems to always be "MD is simple and popular" until gets extended with subtle differences. Those subtle semi-random differences in flavors get tiring really fast.
> at that speed, the router CPU can actually become the bottleneck

I was pretty worried about that, but the machine I got for my OpenWrt router is a Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny with a Core i3-8100T CPU ($80 used with SSD/RAM etc included), and it's seems like it's way overkill, even at full bore the CPU usage appears to be negligible. Power usage is the same as the ISP router at about 17W idle, 24W routing 10 gbit, and that's with a 10 Gbase-T SFP+.

It helps that with a 10 Gbps pipe you don't need to run any kind of fancy QoS algorithms or anything...

> If you’ve been relying on Markdown and occasionally fighting its quirks, AsciiDoc might be the structured, fully-featured alternative you didn’t know you needed.

No, I'm afraid it's the format I know I don't need. At least not for the kind of things I usually use markdown for.

Readme files, technical documentation, moderately complex websites with templating and rendering engines - markdown works just fine. Sometimes with a custom `|||warning\n...\n|||\n` thrown in to render something in a box with a red border.

I get that there's a market in the space occupied by TeX, Typst (underrated IMHO), and possibly MS Word or Quark Express (for non-techies). Libreoffice is great in theory but, again IMHO, "eh" in practice. That market is generating book-length documents with all the cross-references and other features that needs.

That said, Robert Nystrom of "Crafting Interpreters" managed this just fine with markdown and a few custom scripts: https://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2020/04/05/crafting-craft... , https://github.com/munificent/craftinginterpreters/tree/mast... . This is how those famous 10x writers/programmers work, I guess.

Asciidoc is Markdown's big brother? I'll carry on playing with the little brother, thank you very much.

Also the whole page is an ad for their own editor tool. $9.99 per month so you don't need to use your own editor and unintuitive tools like (gasp!) the terminal.
"likely to be access by children", "proportionate systems", "or age estimation", "except where a term of service indicates (in whatever words) that the presence of that kind of primary priority content that is harmful to children is prohibited on the service", etc.

So, no, there is not requirement to implement strong age verification across the board. This is an over-reaction. My interpretation of the guidance is not to be too quick to discard likelihood, not to go over the top.

Again, you are not going to get into trouble because you don't ask your gardening forum's members to send you copies of their passports...
