And then again at DUB outbound (US pre-clearance, so the normal Global Entry kiosk).

Pre clearance from the US means nothing for Ireland, it's also not Schengen.

The only thing that surprise me was there was no passport check or any other custom/immigration at Dublin on the inbound leg.

Because you've done it on your outbound. Ireland is also a bit more relaxed, but at the same time they can randomely ask you for your papers.

from the arrival gate to the departure gate

If you don't pass the control, if I'm not wrong you'll never need to be rechecked. The only place it has happened to me within EU was between Ireland -> Germany -> Greece. Probably because Ireland isn't Schengen

Recent changes to EES system have been a disaster

How ?

People do have to scan their biometrics more than once coming from a non-EU country.

If the data hasn't had time to propagate then it's just a flag that you need to do it.

In some cases even if you are a EU resident in case the airport has no specific queues.

Yes, if I arrive in Firenze airport there is maybe 2 people working on the border, if I'm in the Schengen, I don't even need to be checked. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

People without EU citizenship also enter EU.

Clearly I'm not talking about these cases. You're not from the EU, you need to follow the rules. Sorry.

Fair, then I should add an addendum that today's frontier models, which are very capable of take overs.

Your local model doesn't need to take anything over if for an extreme example it was just given an infrastructure system full access, say electricity grid, it wont have the context to create redundant copies of itself but it could easily decide humans don't need electricity anymore.

Also I'm not sure your model will have the context to know "it's time to reinfer" especiallynot "on the fly". My phrasing could be better but I'm talking about more powerful models.

I think you might need to narrow down what kind of workplaces... A taxi/bus driver, agreed. A an integration engineer, hard disagree.

Either way, when you're an adult, assuming you would be in a workplace, you're maturity should decide. If you want to be a distracted employee and risk termination, you're an adult.

It definitely reduced usesge though. I was the same age in teens with dumb phones and they were only banned in class. Either way, it's better to have the restrictions in this case than a free for all because teenagers will push limits constantly. I don't see a downside to this.

Had s similar experience in the saharah desert.. I love all things space and have a teleclscooe I use regularly but seeing it in person and just laying down and watching for hours was another experience.

I would argue that probably not looking up all the time at night with predators around was an evolutionary trait though! (Semi joking)

It will only become an existential threat (in my humble opinion) when they can run influenced inference locally offline almost instantaneously. Then we need to be concerned about not being able to switch it off.

in the EU you need to go through it both on every arrival and every departure.

You absolutely don't. If you've done it once on your passport/ID you don't need to do it again. And infact there are fast track autonomous lanes that you can just scan your EU passport with biometric chip and fly through. (In theory, there's always idiots who don't realise they don't have it)

I would be less comfortable with my land registry tied to a blockchain, as soon as I lose it (who is much more likely to) it's impossible to get my land back.

What's wrong with paper records backup up a digital record and audit trail. This all seems like a solution for a non-problem to me.

I'm convinced it's by design so that the community that build little businesses around wordpress still stay in the eco system. A client needs new functionality? That's be a week of work because god help anyone who wants to look into themselves.

WordPress is actively degrading the security and quality of the web I general. Has been for many many years.

Honestly I thought this was the standard because god help me Xcode is terrible.

The dots connect very normally, politicians make mistakes. People need to protest against it.

I think that's just gonna make companies set up abroad. But an individual tax of asset wealth over 1 billion, I agree.

I didn't mention specific politics because those are mutable. Sometimes good sometimes bad. What is in place today can change tomorrow, but holding 5% of a sketchy investment, it's a bit different. Having to bail them out.. It's another mess.

"Demand". What kind of government would you like ?

Sanders doesn't want that actually.

Taxes are not investments in your company. They're your contribution to the infrastructure and people to help your company grow. In theory. The US seems to just let rich not pay.

This feels a bit off.. How is the government supposed to be able to regulate them impartially when they're literally invested in them.

What if a competitive startup startup starts to really take away from OpenAi's profits and then all of a sudden requires some approval for merger with Anthropic for example, I don't know if I would trust the government to be fair in their decision here.

Leaving aside the potential for letting the government(tax payers) hold the bag if there is a collapse.

Go check the machines in any factory near you, and I can pretty much guarantee you'll find a German one in it.

It is always interesting to see how underestimated the EU is in terms of manufacturing and pharma for example, they're unsung and not always glamourous industries, but nobody does them like the EU.

The tech innovation does happen more in the US, there has always been simply more private capital thrown around there and thats fine. Comparing the EU and the US in terms of economic activities and procedures is a futile exercise. They're just not the same, and thats by design.

No, these are anti-trust fines. If you want to participate in the EU zone, you can't have monopolistic behaviors. It might sound strange for the US, but you can't simply corner a market and then claim it's innovation and 'good for the customer'. The EU has a LONG history of these regulations, it's nothing new but the more rich a company becomes the more these fines are just the price of doing business.

Instead, here's a wild take. Why don't they just follow the regulations and continue to make profits.

the U.S. ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder told CNBC that Europe “can’t over regulate” and hit companies with “huge fines” if it is going to participate in the AI economy

I love how the US will just let companies walk all over their citizens and then criticize others for not letting it happen. "Please think of the poor multi billion dollar companies".

I think I'm missing something, but how exactly is this weighing a specific market ? You have a "class UserProduct(BaseModel)" that seems to be very barebones and basic..

I mean, what's different from this vs just asking a regular llm to do some market research for you? Also it seems like it's not using any real data if I'm understanding this correctly, it's simulating similar products and evaluating against it ?

find optimal pricing by simulating the same product at multiple price points.

Am I understanding this correct in that you can basically automate monetizing your web/api content to everyone or just agents ? Because I would be very much in support of charging agents per request, but I would want to still offer humans a free experience.

Because they were purchases, not rentals. Under no circumstances would a customer reasonably assume that their purchase would be revoked for reasons completely outside of their control.

It used to be that streaming services were an excellent option even over torrenting because of the ease of access and use.

Now we're not even getting to retain what we buy, this is not a streaming service, these were sold to users individually.

We've gone full circle where I honestly believe pirating is a far better offering.

The root of the problem is these ridiculous content licensing agreements, it should be very very obvious to the customer when they're buying that "Hey, you will own this until X date when our content licensing agreement is finished"

Not hidden by design in some dense ToS.

Even more reason to call this out, they know the exact figures they need to create physical copies of, they're claiming a complete trend to reduce their expenses. I don't believe they have some agenda to simply turn off games for people for no reason, but needing to check in every few months to keep a game active is actively hostile to the customer.

There's an expectation that once the sale is finalised they should t be able to just take it back when they like. Agreements or not that's not how things are supposed to work.

This is ridiculous, and not long after they've been updating their ToS to require you to sign in and phone home in order to continue to be allowed access to your digital library.

In response to shifting trends in consumer preference.

I hate this corporate speak. If buying isn't ownership, then pirating isn't stealing.

It’s a common disgusting mentality wide spread across Europe.

Yeah it's such a disgusting mentality to appreciate a work life balance and not have work be your entire world. Such a horrible existence.

Anyway, I'm off on holidays now, enjoy!

But using AI is not the point of the article.

Can you define "serious programming"? Because I use it to implement things I COULD go and figure out like algorithms or test generation or evaluations etc, the "serious" programming I tend to do myself. That is what I'm paid for.

The market is the AI boom and the US is the host, they can sell the exact same stuff to someone else.

In theory yeah, but not at the levels that the US companies are buying.. Last I heard OpenAI is sitting on 50% of the world useless wafers on their own for some reason, and Microsoft cant find a datacenter fast enough to plug their stock in.

I'm a customer, looking for a simple 32GB ddr5 6000 ram, I'm now competing with Microsoft because there isn't enough supply? I'm not sure about that.
