I found it! https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa... You need an EU account though. I got one and I'm an American so it shouldn't be too tough.

I agree, and I'm really split about a lot of this, because screw this ~blackmail~ extortion AGCOM was trying to pull. The only thing I'd say is that a country is more than a department, and these actions will hurt others who had n

I'm a team lead in an American organization that relies heavily on Cloudflare's Project Galileo[1], and I read that post with growing dread. My first thought was that this guy doesn't sound very much like a CEO. Let me rephra

Not just building GPU infrastructure to serve inference at scale, but also constraining GPU infrastructure and pricing it out of reach for individuals who wish to pursue open models. I'm not sure what entirely to do about it, but the f

Just to second what you are saying, over 2025 we saw some cases where small open source projects that underpin massive infrastructure are struggling for funding, and they don't even need that much! To me this is a place where the EU ca

I read the call for evidence. I have a silly question: Where does one go to supply that evidence?

Yeah I saw the ieee.org domain and was expecting a much more rigorous post.

There's really not much to take from this post without a repo and a lot of supporting data. I wish they would publish the experiment so people could try with more than just GPT and Claude, and I wish they would publish their prompts an

Open source must be a part of Europe's digital sovereignty (a crucial piece of a post-american internet). The continent otherwise doesn't have the resources to pull it off. Projects like https://eurostack.eu/ are

Man after reading some of the comments and looking at the graph I have learned a lesson. I went to SO all the time to find answers to questions, but I never participated. I mean they made it hard, but given the amount of benefit I gained I

We'll probably find out sometime around the first week of January, 2029.

I'm not a TUI developer but I'm about to become one after my experience with Tauri on a simple project. But focus on why I'm a TUI user. Maybe these reasons are why people develop TUI apps: * Speed: Work gave me an i5. It has

Why does it take a trip to the Galapagos to disconnect though? We could just as easily block access to all our socials (including HN) for a week and probably still do fine at our jobs.

This is totally true and points to why Calibre's feature adds value. However I think the big players see exactly what you see and are scrambling to become peoples' go-to first. I believe this is for two main reasons. The first is

I just started playing with OpenCode over the weekend after working with aider and aider-ce, and I like a lot of things about it, though I miss some aider features. What other code helpers have you worked with?

They can't put you in jail, but they will often happily sell your data to the government so that they can put you in jail [1], and by holding the data they are now open to subpoenas anyway. Additionally, making surveillance by corporat

It's literally what social media is for. People seem disturbed that when they put their private thoughts out on the internet their private thoughts end up out on the internet. I never understood that.

I used to do that in simpler days. I'd add a link to where I copied it from so we could reference it if there were problems. This was for relatively small projects with just a few people.

If a Democrat gets the presidency in 2028 do you think they'll restore the FCC's independence? I'd be willing to bet not, because no matter which party is in power, they are going to want to continue to concentrate that power

Back in the day I worked for the makers of Yellow Dog Linux, and I think because of these scarcities we had a pretty good model of buying Apple Risc hardware at OEM prices and putting Linux on them, mostly for university scientists but also

Aider can be a chat interface and it's great for that but you can also use it from your editor by telling it to watch your files.[1] So you'd write a function name and then tell it to flesh it out. function factorial(n) &#x2

Along the same lines, if the US tried to innovate as hard on regulations as they do on technology maybe we wouldn't be destroying the world.
