Would you hold that standard towards Angola in 1973?
The vast majority of its inhabitants were portuguese citizens with the exact same rights and duties as any other portuguese citizen in Lisbon. The majority of that territory (and certainly the parts with most of the population) was portuguese for 500+ years.
Gibraltar has been part of the UK for over 300 years and the people are all UK citizens.
Is this your standard for whether or not something is colonialism? Do you apply it consistently throughout, even when its inconvenient for you?

You're right, it's about the injunction.
Can you explain how he is supposed to house and feed a family of 5 on 500€ a month?
Or is this a "he should starve to death" situation?
What right does the EU even have to "sanction" a German citizen? None.
Ha even if this was true (it’s not)
You haven't met many accountants i see.
Regardless that's not what he is saying.
If there is an acceptable margin of error for humans, we should be able to measure it for AI, and once AI is within those margins then it should be feasible to replace the human.
Is it possible to run this into an agent? pi, claude code, etc..? I've only tried it with LM studio, but i'm guessing this is a bit different
Would this cause issues with SSD lifespan?
The court approved the sanctions when he tried to challenge them.
Why would i want an inferior option just because it's made in the EU? I'm not an EU nationalist, i don't care if "EU Tech Companies" are a thing. If anything "EU Tech Sovereignty" is a net negative for me.
We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

But having watched what social media has done to our society, the tsunami of bullshit collapsing critical thought, science and reason I just don’t think civilisation can survive this without controls.
None of this is new. Every single one of these things has been pointed out millennia ago.
You had already evaluated it and made your decision (against censorship) on this decades ago when you first came across it.
Changing your view now isn't a matter of new information coming to light. It's a matter of you disliking the obvious and inevitable consequences that you had been warned of going into it.
Perhaps it's time you stop changing your mind based on totalitarian propaganda and realize you don't know what you're doing, and stop supporting censorship.
Government removes regulations and let property owners make whichever decisions they feel is best for them individually.
Yep! I'm running things locally on a RTX5080 + RTX1060 + 64GB DDR5 ram, and would love to get a more capable model if possible!
QWEN3.6 27b is pretty good, but i can still notice some spots where it's not as good as the frontier models.
So this basically means we will have a near opus level model able to be run locally in the next couple of months right?
QWEN 3.6 27b is already pretty good, but it should be possible to get a better option now that runs in the same hardware, right?
Are you saying the census shouldn't collect any data that people wouldn't be comfortable publishing? Because that's a recipe for a census that is far less useful for helping the country make useful decisions.
That seems to me like it's a good thing. Allow people to determine whether the data is actually needed, rather than closing their eyes.
Frankly i see no reason to keep this data private. They should simply publish a full dataset of the census, with no such data coarsening/differential privacy/ etc...
Fundamentally this is public data. If it's to dangerous to make public, it's too dangerous to collect, and people should be aware of exactly what it is.
There are very few things that the state has data on that should not be made public. Census data is simply not one of those things.
publishing should be the default for any data, and to keep it unpublished should require substantially good reasons that impact the country as a whole. Frankly, if it isn't detailed national defence plans, i struggle to see any data that should not be public.
calling the EU a free market that makes problems go away to draft macro economic conclusions from sunscreens is a particularly shallow analysis
I didn't say it was a free market. i said it was a freer market in this particular instance, as shown by this article.
Except you can check the differences easily.
China doesn't have the same strict regulations, and yet when we compare life expectancy the difference isn't particularly big.
Thought terminating cliches like "Better safe than sorry" simply don't stand up to scrutiny once you actually check the numbers.
No, eating brasilian beef isn't going to kill you, and stopping imports from there is going to do a whole lot more to make you poorer than it will help your health. Take a walk, that will help you a whole lot more, and won't make you poorer.
Seems like the free market does make this problem go away. This is simply one of the (few) instances where there is a freer market in the EU that in the US
In the European Union, sunscreens are regulated as cosmetics, which means greater flexibility in approving active ingredients. In the U.S., sunscreens are regulated as drugs, which means getting new ingredients approved is an expensive and time-consuming process. Because they’re treated as cosmetics, European-made sunscreens can draw on a wider variety of ingredients that protect better and are also less oily, less chalky and last longer.
You should take this as an opportunity to reflect on the amount of lives lost as a result of the regulations in place for drugs, in both the EU and US.
If the negative effect is this obvious in sunscreen, just imagine how much more impactful removing regulation on cancer drugs would be.
I think the censorship framing is quite manipulative. It is removal of unlawful content.
Yeah, that's called censorship. It's exactly the same thing everyone you accuse of censorship does. There is exactly zero difference beyond your support of the views/people being censored (and sometimes not even that).
Is removing CSAM censorship? What about snuff?
Yes. Yes.
If no, then where do you draw the line? Why can't our democratically elected governments decide what is and isn't lawful? Why should foreign Big Capital be allowed to decide instead?
Well in my country that line has been drawn. It's just recurring and persistently ignored by the state, the justice system, and private entities.
When a constitution says explicitly "no type or form of censorship is permitted", that's pretty clear what it means. You ignoring it doesn't make that line less clear.
The goods were still there, still on display and being sold.
This appears to be in dispute.
As per bricks and minifigs:
It was clear the full list of inventory in his documentation was not located in the store. What items could be reasonably identified as allegedly belonging to the consignor was offered back to the consignor, but that offer was refused.
A deeper dive into the sales receipts uncovered that a significantly higher volume of the listed sets had sold over the course of the consignment deal prior to the store transition.
It appears they are alleging that the prior operator had sold a larger portion of the consigned goods than they had claimed to the family.
