This doesn‘t sound like AI. LLMs do not use dictionary definitions for translating a paper this way. It does look like some translation engine like Google Translate or worse, maybe with some text obfuscator trying to avoid plagiarism detect

Rule number one of CIO: become friends with CFO and chief lawyer. And nothing else matters.

So you say that it is easy to understand what LLMs are, yet the issue is that people don‘t understand it. Either you put too many people in the bucket labelled „idiots“ or you are blowing that problem out of proportion, at the same time see

The due diligence not being done is people putting cats in microwaves. It‘s not the dangerous part. The real danger is risk assessments coming to wrong conclusions, because it is still terra incognita. Talented engineers were in this situat

You are right with the analysis, but wrong with the conclusions. Yes, LLM „thinking process“ is kinda non-deterministic in a sense that it does not follow logical reasoning and will not produce logically correct results in 100% cases. It ha

You don‘t need the right connections. You can be an outsider and spend 10% of the grant to hire a guy who will help you with paperwork and refining the idea to fit in support initiative. Basically, you look around what grants are there, fin

It‘s nice to have such revenue to fund EU programs on digital sovereignty. European institutions give plenty of money to startups. You need an entry to the program, but when you are in, it can account for 50-70% or more in your early stage

It is weird that neither About, nor Terms or Contact pages mention who actually is behind this project. No name, no clear legal status, but collecting money and personal data of users. It may be a well-known service, but the number of users

I do not think this is true. Do you have any proof? I‘m aware only of German court refusing to apply urgent procedure to unblock his bank accounts. The sanctions were applied not that long ago for him to get decision by German courts or ECJ

How did you connect the linked Wikipedia article to EU courts and ECJ? This journalist was not sanctioned by the court.

No. Soviet literature was intentionally translated and distributed abroad. That was the purpose of Mir, at least partially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_Soviet_Un...

Well, the way you describe it, they protect investors, not inventors. Investors do not need protection. Money are abundant, market can solve the commercialization part efficiently.

In many research-intensive products go-to-market costs are bigger than the cost of actual invention. You buy a pharma startup for a few million for their patents, then spend tens of millions on certification, trials and manufacturing pipeli

What „not so smart“ person would filter minority groups out of the process in 2026? It‘s more likely that 90/10 gender disbalance will be converted to 60/40 or even 50/50. Diverse teams are more fun and stable.

by ivan_gammel 4mo ago
In situations when you get hundreds of applications for one open position (real market now), whatever reduces your pool to the size a human can handle, works. You can preserve some diversity metrics in the process. This particular filtering

This is ok. When future local user time offset is unpredictable, pinning meeting time to a certain location is a good strategy. If at some point meeting shifts for some user, well-designed calendar app could warn them and let reschedule. It

It‘s a common mistake to store everything as UTC timestamps and shows lack of understanding of time domain. Local time exists and it is neither UTC or timezone-dependent. Doctor office opens at 8 a.m. regardless of whether it is DST or not.

by ivan_gammel 4mo ago
ANSI SQL has DATE and TIME types. Just use them for appointments bound to location. Conversion to current user timezone must happen in presentation layer and certainly does not belong to a database.

I don‘t think Putin knows anything about him or is even aware of his existence. He’s living in a cloud castle fed by briefings from his administration. It‘s likely that nobody in Moscow cared so much about this poor guy - there exist more a

> DMA is about competition not privacy. Apple has privacy concerns with complying related to 3rd party access to customer data. DMA is reasonable. It‘s not their job to be concerned so much as to block that access completely. Alternative

Privacy by design isn‘t enormous effort, as every European engineering manager will tell you. It‘s just another reasonable and straightforward set of requirements. Of course, if you want to have privacy-less features in jurisdictions permit

Digital ID is in no way just a „single small feature of a service“, but even if it would be so, for every tiny thing there exist 10x more requirements that make it a product.

Any network service with 24x7 availability and millions of users requires constant maintenance. Hardware has some lifetime and needs to be maintained and replaced. OS needs patching. Dependencies need security updates and, time to time, mig

Sounds… political. You have cross-functional teams interfacing via a tool. It would be reasonable to co-design this interface, so that all user goals are taken into account. When engineering owns the tool, do they approach the configuration

Government agencies can pool their resources to operate a shared data center. If you take just a tax office, they are operating at scale where they have sufficient demand to operate 2-3 data centers per country in half of Europe. As for the
