Are you claiming that the law doesn't say what we say it does or are you claiming that you can break the law without any consequences?

They can't jail you, but they can do quite a lot. They can seize your goods. They can order app stores to take down your apps. They can order payment providers to stop doing business with you in the EU. Most businesses would also prefe

To me this makes it uninteresting. Degraded preformance of hyperscalers seems off topic to bundle with e.g. github.com availability. I think the author just wanted the chart to be as red as possible.

From consumer perspective it's the problem of the seller. I would ask for a refund and if they refused I would do a chargeback. They don't have to do business in EU if they don't want to follow the rules.

Same goes for e.g. GDPR compliance. You need to comply with GDPR when offering services to individuals in the EU no matter where you are based.

They are mandated to provide 2-year legal guarantee under EU consumer protection law when they target EU consumers -> i.e. operate an eshop that ships to EU and sells in local currencies. Regardless of where they are located.

This is the exact issue (conscious calculations on pen and paper) that made me much less confident in materialism. I think both of the options seem far fetched from that perspective. I would still like to think that the first one is right j

When Apple uses private APIs that are forbidden to developers on the App Store to compete with them it's not exactly fair. So I wouldn't say it's a failure that they don't do that even more often .

The supposedly expected functionality is very obviously that it marks copilot co-authored code as copilot co-authored, not the bug that is being reverted.

Unless you are using these during sex I consider a microphone to be 10x more privacy intruding than a camera. Security cameras afaik usually don't record audio, but all phones can. And they don't even need to be pointed in any spe

That's like saying that English (because of course) is able to describe the concept by a combination of words.

I don't mind it at all for decorational images, but in this case I would mind. I suppose I would mind the inaccuracy, the worry that the creatures might not look exactly like the real world ones look. Not that it actually matters but i

Yes please, but do it in a way where the government doesn't know what services am I using and the service doesn't know who I am beyond being a unique non-registered human. I'm not sure this is possible in EU and US. And I&#x2

I like the idea, but I'm not sure it solves the problem enough. I'm not convinced that there is an $X where the service is not too cost prohibitive for humans and at the same time cost prohibitive enough to discourage bots. In the

How does the notary confirm to Tinder that you are a real user? There needs to be some glue. I don't think anything like that exists. And can't you just visit 100 notaries and create 100 accounts?

As always when this pops up, I'm asking what options are there to prove that a user is human that are more privacy friendly (and as the author puts it, less creepy). Because the problem World claims to try to solve is real.

Afaik Claude has 5 hour rolling window rate limits while Cursor has a monthly window on the $20 plan. The 5 hour window sounds annoying for hobbyists who only use it time to time when they want to dive into some personal project.

Certainly. I just think "expressing thoughts in words clearly" might in the end turn out to be something different than what we, humans consider clear. For example long unstructured rambling might turn out to be a non-issue, while

No they did not understaff. It is normal to wait if you want an unscheduled 1on1. It was always like that and it was always normal.

On the other hand LLMs are getting very good at understanding poorly constructed instructions as well. So being able to express oneself clearly in a structured way may not be such an edge.

Gemini often rejects photos of random people (even ones it generated itself) because it thinks they look too similar to some well known person.

The difference is that where I live stores that used to have, say, 10 counters out of which maybe 6 were open on average now have 4 human counters and 20 self-checkout counters. So for me it is in effect automating the part where I need to
