Possibly. But we also need to keep in mind that Google gave governments access to their internal data center traffic unencrypted for years.

Or in the case of ASML machines, any company you can pressure to comply with your policies either by restricting their access to the technology you control or politics between governments.

I think it’s a general misconception with folks that export controls only apply to weapons, forgetting that it applies to many high-end manufacturing and technology. I’m surprised about some of the reactions, but again anyone who has a secu

I don’t know if this has something to do with the administration or access to export controlled technology. There could be a licensing process, but I don’t think it would be public information, we don’t know whom each defense contractor sel

Just replace the word Anthropic with defense contractor or weapons manufacturer, they’re all export controlled at this point, do you see a difference? I really hope the controls are relaxed, but at some arbitrary levels it’s expected that a

There are tens of thousands of defense contractors that not only work with export-controlled stuff, but even top-secret and other higher levels. Getting just a secret clearance takes up to a year, and expecting to do this for all employees,

The amount of tracking is already at insane levels, none of this is being done with good intentions. We must get rid off cookie banners permanently and a browser level “do not track” must be enforced. Nothing can be gained by meeting in the

In my experience Claude tends to immensely over complicate things and go for a complex abstraction scheme even when all it needs to do is two lines of code. Combined with its eagerness to just code and more importantly pay more attention to

I was pointing out the arbitrary and political nature of the decisions being made. A company being a monopoly is a problem, unless it’s a European one like ASML etc. Then it’s a technology they built over the years and they should reap the

Filenames in recycle bin getting mangled and users not knowing which file they can recover is a seriously stupid bug, maybe not an instability but it was working okay in the last 40 years without any issues.

It’s a very thin and a political line between being a gatekeeper and a very successful company. Are we soon going to say Spotify, ASML, and Carl Zeiss are also gatekeepers?

At some point I assume somebody had to explain why the start menu is 40-50 times slower than previous releases. Or they simply vibe-code something and ship it not caring what they created.

Another way to say tenth of a second is 100,000,000 nanoseconds. We have 4GHz computers with 8-16 cores, and it takes 100,000,000 cycles to show the start menu? Edit: Corrected the scale factor.

Microslop at its best. I’m struggling to understand what their end goal is. How much can you half ass everything until your entire company becomes just a nuisance.

UK is going back in time where different classes of people had different rights. It sounds like they’re trying to silence the people and keep them “secure” from themselves, weird.
