You need to differentiate between citing everything, and citing a select few prior works which are integral to your own. For the latter, it is very natural to mention and cite them…

Having your public administration be dependent on the whims of a foreign government (and yes, Microsoft is subject to whims of the US government if it comes down to it) is just a b…

Even with a spec on github, a protocol can still be proprietary, e.g. if companies have to pay to use it legally in products

How does any government make decisions? The workings of the EU are maybe a tad more complex than most nation governments, but it largely functions the same with parliament etc. (be…

CoMaps does have this exact UX flow actually. Unfortunately it is somewhat flaky and frequently falls back to not doing it.

Big tech companies have gotten used to laws not applying to them.

Those requirements are explicitly on the outcomes because companies like Apple used to abuse loopholes in previous, non-outcome defined laws. They, as always, have no one to blame …

All of that happens only if the user chooses to do it though. Anybody is free to stay in the caged Apple garden. The EU just wants them to leave the door unlocked.

Doesn't split as easily on an Intel GPU as ona NVIDA GPU though, regarding software support. Sure, it's probably not too difficult if you know what you're doing, but not sure how b…

I think I would pay it. The peace of mind knowing that my every move isn't tracked and being used to sell me stuff or engagement bait me is invaluable tbh

Of course they speak swedish. But often, they do not reason in Swedish and do not search in swedish. Swedish makes up a tiny fraction of training data, while the vast majority is E…

I highly doubt that hiring people who don't even speak the language would result in a better model for Norwegian. If anything, they could pay Anthropic for some tips and tricks for…

There's only so much you can do with 5 million people. Especially in a field where network effects amd scale matter a lot.

None of that even addresses the problem described, because none of the languages you mentioned would be French in the described example.

Even if the model will reply in my language, I often notice it searching in english. Or thinking in english. There's always something lost in translation. Sometimes it's just minor…

The difference is that Walmart is a stable, reliable trade partner that honors contracts and is not trying to use propaganda to make you a fascist

He said they don't rely on it. They can use fingerprinting. Obviously they'll still use any other data you give them, including IP addresses or cookies.

They currently seem to have the opposite of tricks up their sleeve, resulting in their sales in Europe either dropping sharply or stagnating...

Visa and Mastercard already are a single point of failure (see e.g. the French judge that cannot use it anymore because the US government did not like it when he did his job). This…

Fascism is not a minority political opinion. It's a mental illness.

TOS are not laws. They often conflict with actual laws, and are then void. So you can't just say "It's in the TOS", you do have to look at actual laws and whether they may be viola…

You couldn't be more wrong. There's no equal footing when propaganda buys you thousands of bots to parrot what you want on every related post. And there is no ability to "reach eve…

Not sure if the history lessons are a joke, but sugar is rightfully taxed or otherwise disincentivized in many countries, because it is highly harmful to society as a whole. Sports…

Crippling gambling addictions are a well studied issue that has ruined many lives. It is not a "moral" problem.
