If a factory pours poison into a farmers water source they can already sue, I cannot imagine it would be significantly harder to enable similar regulation for fertilizers and pesticides.

This is a tragedy of the commons and not comparable to a singular farmer making a singular decision about what to plant on his field.

Valid points but this seems more simple to address using regulation rather than removing the seed patents (which are essential to some degree to make this whole process worthwhile for manufacturers). The argument is that without seed patent

“Ok, how do we do customer auth” has become my go-to question to kill MCP projects. There is no working solution which makes any kind of enterprise exploration into the space pointless.

I feel like this kind of discussion hinges on a misguided belief that farmers are not very smart businessmen. The idea that a farmer would abandon their current crop for GMO crop that they cannot replant without making a cost-benefit analys

I think we agree?! I’m arguing that the tariff is being passed on to US prices and not distributed onto the worldwide customer base. A manufacturer that doesn't adjust their price structure is passing the price on because the tariff is

This was a big worry initially when the tariffs were announced but it doesn’t actually seem to be happening. Most manufacturers are not adjusting their price structure because the effects are super hard to estimate (don’t forget that the US

Most of the monopolies in the GPU supply chain (ASML, Zeiss etc.) are European companies. The “EU has no AI” narrative is mostly pushed by VCs so they can keep raising funds from European investors.

Erdogan did this 9 months after the incident, shortly after a military coup against him. Presumably this was about scoring an internal policy win.

> I think it's responsibility of the stronger party, here NATO, to seek deescalation. NATO isn't fighting in Ukraine, Ukraine is fighting in Ukraine and Russia is the stronger party in that conflict.

It's not just government services (such credentials already exist but its a hodgepodge of self-rolled services for each agency). This ID will generally be equal to the real ID so it will be used to verify citizenship to employers, bank

I think it generally not wise to project the political conflicts and fault lines of one's own country on to other countries which exist in very different contexts.

Depends on the credential being issued. For the digital identity document it is the federal state, but the cantons (states) or even corporations are able to issue their own credentials using their own register.

There wasn't really a yes campaign which, imo, is why it was this close. The government put it out there, made their handful of media appearances and that was mostly it. The vibes were that it was going to pass easily so everyone almos

The codebase they are going to use already exists and is open source. Most of the specs can be found somewhere on their github. It's a bit more voodoo than just plain credentials to satisfy privacy requirements. https://gith

Comparing LLMs to programming languages is a fake equivalence. I don’t have to write assembly because LLVM will do that for me correctly in 100% of the cases, while AI might or might not (especially the more I move away from template crud a
