Lol there's no such thing as an EU associate member. The EU has to come up with and agree to what the term means. The same EU that still hasn't ratified CETA; 10 members still blocking it.

Trade barriers are trade barriers. Free trade means no barriers, not no tariffs specifically. Anything that makes doing business in another province more difficult than regular operation in your own province is a barrier to trade.

Why? There's no point having a typed config/scripting language...

Lem's focus seems to be on being an "emacs" in and for Common Lisp. Lem throws away any attempts at compatibility with GNU Emacs. This is trying to be compatible with GNU Emacs.

The point is that you can't steal someone else's content 1:1. But you can use it for a different use (say, display the tweet in an article, then comment on it).

Search engines "modify" it ie. show snippets + direct to the actual site. In general fair use pretty much always requires it to be transformative and/or point to the source. Simply scraping it to prevent people from going to

Why don't you actually read the words and apply a little critical thinking? How often do you hack on actual LLMs? Or do you just use the chatbot or API for your agents? An LLM without internet access or tools is just as useless as a

This is corporate speak for "LLMs have hit a wall". I mean, it's been obvious for a bit, lately nearly all gains have been from harnesses (or whatever you want to call all the non-LLM bits that make up a chatbot or agent). I
