I tried such systems in the past and the success was limited. When floppy was replaced with image reader, the device wouldn't read half of them. But it would read the floppies just fine. I wonder if anything has changed since. I tried

It's a shame we relabelled corruption as lobbying. The damage it has done is untold. One thing that China does should be adopted in the West.

Effect of law enforcement not doing their jobs. Chat Control is illegal in many countries including Germany and that includes preparation for the roll out. Just need a prosecutor with a spine.

Fable is really weird, it's like clever and dumb at the same time. I worked on some research with it and the resulting document was a mix of brilliance and complete stupidity. Took ages to clean it up with other models.

In the UK, when I reported a crime, I had to pull out the book and read the verse what constitutes an assault for Police to record it, because they didn't know. That said, 3 weeks later case was closed because they couldn't find t

Where are the pictures to see what exactly is the problem?

Law enforcement should stop them. In countries like Germany this is very likely illegal and amounts to preparation of terrorist act.

This would be illegal in Germany. I wonder why law enforcement is not looking into this. It is similar to having abusive husband control wife's communication - just at scale and for ideological reason. This is a violent act against who

And people pay for those wasted tokens? If that's the case, it is probably good idea to ask for refunds.

This triggers my PTSD. Had to work in managed office that was sealed and aircon was clearly not working properly. I had headaches etc. I didn't have such meter. Numerous complaints to management did nothing. They said everything is nor

It's classism. Working class are suspicious. Let's check if they are _not_ lying, wholesale.

This is obvious. I bet there are already lavish dinners designed to manufacture support amongst politicians for such regulation. The big AI companies cannot leave money on the table. The local models will be restricted sooner or later as lo

For me it is RealForce R3SD13 with the lightest switches. Can type on it for days. I bought a few just in case :)

Certain dodgy part of London, UK. There are no clubs anymore there.

by varispeed 4mo ago
I remember last time I was in the club (decade or so ago), the bouncers were taking IDs and photocopying them and of course there was CCTV as well and police were visible outside of the club.

This is probably the wedge and the rest will follow once people are accustomed and desensitised to age checks.

What is the point if it is one Trump's brain fart away from being blocked?

It cuts both ways. Downward pricing can be used to remove competitors who cannot give up that much of margin.
231.
by varispeed 4mo ago
That is your assumption without evidence. Once the targeted market knows others are tracking the price, it can up the price without fear competing market will undercut.

by varispeed 4mo ago
You are arguing semantics. Effect is the same.

by varispeed 4mo ago
Price fixing is legal as long as your are doing it in the open. In the UK it is called "price match" and eg. if supermarket says they keep prices matched to their competitor. No regulator raises an eyebrow. So here Samsung and SK

In every authoritarian regime people spent considerable amount of time on workarounds. Underground press, parallel education etc. this is just another iteration of Stasi like regime, just with a nicer suit and better PR. In reality this sho

You are assuming that governments care and are not corrupt. I think they have very little room for manoeuvre - companies like AWS or Microsoft can simply you are too cocky and we will shutdown infrastructure your country is running on if yo

Politicians can act very quickly if there is good enough "incentive".

That until it becomes illegal to have or use open source models without approval and licence from government. With more talks about on device scanning, this could be easily plumbed in. If OS detects there is open source model, it could bric

Yes it does that. Still, less than a fine would have been.

Such feature is designed to catch people who might not pay attention. Innocent looking money grab. Some better parking apps simply let you start the meter and then stop when you get back to your car, so you don't have to worry you miss
