I used to feel the same, but nowadays, I have very few normal calls, mostly from close relatives only, but a dozen of spam calls a week. And that used not to be the case before 2024. I know robocalls are/were a terrible affliction in t

This is similar to the reasoning of Austria vehemently opposing nuclear reactors to be built in neighbouring countries, even if downstream on the Danube, even if 200 km from their border. The latest decision (although on the surface, not on

I believe it's more about witnessing a deepening AI-divide between rich and poor countries. Or the maturing of the AI market. But in the end, this will only matter if we see these more expensive tools/subscriptions actually having

That's for international students going to the UK to study CS. There is not much point for anyone to go to the UK to study CS for that amount of money (unless they already live there, but they get their degree for a third or even less

That reminds me of the new draft standard of CEN/CENELEC (EU std body) on "Competence requirements for professional AI ethicists" https://standards.cencenelec.eu/dyn/www/f?p=205:22:0::::FSP_... But

No, because jurisdiction of the competition authority will still be based on the market activity (or place of registration etc.) of the companies colluding, not on the physical location of the colluding/anti-competitive activity itself

that would be fun, but what i've heard that it's named after Harvey Specter, from Suits. But that's not something they'll officially ever deny or confirm...

Although there is a part on the use of AI in the legal market, but it is neither comprehensive, nor informative. A much better view of the law-specific state of the art models is available at https://www.vals.ai/vlair (alth

The exact same thing happened in Hungary (sort of, we can't blame it all on the nazis, Hungarians did it enthusiastically themselves). They used the census data of 1920 and 1930 (but not declaring your religion and ethnicity was illega

Communism in Hungary was introduced and kept up by Soviets after the 2nd ww. The very considerable difference between Orban and Kadar (the longest serving communist leader) is that Kadar paid attention not to make his direct family and dire

I'm sure that was an important reason for the US and UK markets. I don't know much about the Swedish market, but in the Eastern European markets, game consoles were not popular at all until the very late 1990s. Gamers in the early

An immaterial side note: funny how obsessed she seems to be with her age. She said once that people in the audience could be half or even third of her age. Given that she's 49, is it really typical that 16-year olds attend these firesi

The pipeline Microsoft is using for Copilot products hides actually what models they are using, and you have no influence over it. Sometimes they use smaller models, but I have no clear source from Microsoft saying this ...

It's not a problem that you try multiple sources at all. That's a smart move as long as you do realize what you are doing and give these extra sources appropriate weight. But that's very difficult to do with LLMs due to a) po

I think the major point is that if you fancy yourself a beginner businessperson, sooner or later you will have to find some professionals you can trust. Regardless whether that's a lawyer or an accountant. Doing business will have its

This is a bit more than just red tape madness, it's a strategy to make businesses more transparent. This is about trying to reduce non-reported transactions and too many people dodging their reporting. Even if the rules for cash regist

I understand your concern, but that's not how the law prohibiting it works. That just says that unfair commercial practices are prohibited, and it is unfair to use aggressive practice, such "any onerous or disproportionate non-con

I hate to say this, but this is quite common in Italy for smaller businesses (and most businesses in Italy are small). They have become accustomed to their courts being slow so that this is a negotiation tactic you often hear. A shame on su

The first caption of the cat picture may be a bit misleading for those who are not sure of how this works: "The best a traditional LLM can do when asked to give it a detective hat and monocle." The role of the traditional LLM in c

Why do other people's criticism ("talking shit") destroy your fun? They make you unsure of your opinion? If you believe this emotional investment in AI tools gives you a competitive edge in the long run, then so much the bett

I asked Sora to turn a random image of my friend and myself into Italian plumbers. Nothing more, just the two words "Italian plumbers". The created picture was not shown to me because it was in violation of OpenAI's content p

That's a bit misleading. Make no mistake, current US tariffs are UNIVERSAL. Not specific to e.g. chicken or automobiles or purebred horses. They cover absolutely everything. While you may see 38% or more tariff on chocolate, chocolate

Let's not forget the biggest of EVILs, Lesotho, with its 50% tariff. Mr Trump has just noticed that they have cornered the US economy. (A strange coincidence, Trump has recently said nobody has ever heard of Lesotho being a country...)

Exactly. Calculation for actual figures is based on trade deficit, everything else is just a fat lie. "White House officials said its levies were reciprocal to countries, such as China, which it said charge higher tariffs on US goods,

Norway is not a member of the EU. Yes, precedent can be used with different meanings, and many clueless ministries of justices in continental law countries tried to innovate by calling some measures they made as turning that country into pa

Nope. 1) Not all of the "EU law" behaves the same way. There are legal acts of the EU that are directly applicable (like most provisions in regulations), there are even some provisions of the primary legislation (treaties) that ca

Maybe surprising, but based on the latest Eurobarometer, the citizens of the following countries trust the EU less than Hungarians (even if Hungary is just below EU average): Germany, Czechia, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, France (in this order
