It's a defense. It's like having a moat around your castle. You don't need a moat to repel invaders since you also have a wall, and you might not get invaded anyway.
There's no law saying you have to do clean room RE. It's legal for me to look at a decompiled driver and write my own driver from scratch. It's not legal for me to just copy the decompilation, and a clean room environment is solid proof that it wasn't copied, but it's not the only way to not copy it.
You can click on any of the instances and then the service that is down to read the updates. It’s not 100% clear but some sort of issue with a “legacy login service”. The latest updates say a fix is rolling out.
> Canada's Bill C-22 Would Force Encryption Backdoors
> Signal, Windscribe, and NordVPN say they'll pull out of Canada before building surveillance infrastructure. The biggest threat to encrypted communications in a Western democracy since Australia's 2018 law.
>>So, easier to sell stuff, easier to buy stuff, free to just travel to/from Canada/EU and work there with no extra paperwork, free to buy and sell service from Canada to EU and vice versa.
>>No Euro, no vote in EU, no ECJ, no payments into each others budget.
This version of EU integration is more popular than EU itself in significant part of EU right now.
I enjoyed driving around Lanzarote in the Canary Islands because you'd occasionally see roundabouts with artwork by César Manrique - e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/mzK8by7shYJ2yvYC9 - an artist who lived there.
The EU is likely to develop a military at some point and has some defence cooperation. if you do not trust the US, that means you cannot rely on NATO, which means you need some alternative.
> Right now it seems to me that e. g. Carney, and Leyen, use this more as promo-tour.
I agree. It might be meant as a threat to influence US policy.
Neural Nets can be trained to play chess very well and have been doing so for a long time (see Stockfish and Leela as some of the most popular/strongest ones - top GMs have no chance against them), but these are dedicated models, where the game rules are encoded in the learning process, as opposed to large language models which are natural language processing models. Technically you can give an LLM a lot of chess books and games and it will be able to spit out chess notation. Put a webapp on top that renders text moves to the board and it looks like it's playing chess. But it isn't really.
They also define and measure an "IPJ" as well as "IPW"
> the NVIDIA B200 achieves 1.6× to 2.3× higher intelligence per joule
than the APPLE M4 MAX across QWEN 3 and GPT-OSS model variants
The B200 = "cloud", M4 = "local".
So "cloud" does even better in energy than it does in power compared to "local". Or, to flip it, "local" is both slower and more expensive than "cloud".
My gut instinct is that this is about when all of their on prem servers were EOL and their /public cloud solution was required. This must have had something to do with that
You're partially correct, in the sense that agentic software development means that exact tech stack choices no longer restrict what's possible or easy to quickly achieve. But having well designed technologies and design systems is actually more important than ever, because AI agents can use those systems to build UIs on the fly more efficiently, with less tokens, and achieving more consistency and reliability. If you want to build an AI system that creates UI for you on the fly, an essential component is a good design system. Take a look at how Claude Design works: if you want to create a design there, one of the first things it encourages you to do is to build a design system, and underneath, that feature has been programmed to use specific frameworks that are also carefully designed and built to make agentic software development more efficient.
Cool - I will watch this space :) Oh and if you are using a coding agent and are wanting to improve the visual design, I found the https://impeccable.style set of skills to be very helpful.
A game where you're narcoleptic and keep falling asleep at random unannounced times. While taking a flight from A to B, you wake up at different times entirely, on the same (or an equivalent) flight, seeing whatever was going on back then. Sometimes it's a flight with the Wright Brothers, sometimes you're flying during WWII, and sometimes you might just be on the plane heading towards the twin towers (right as you wake up back on your own original flight). Maybe even some mini-games where you might have the chance to foil a hijacking in progress, or maybe you need to be "the doctor on the plane", or maybe you wake up as the guy that's carrying the crying baby. You never know when, where, or who you'll wake up as.
AI LLM systems, i.e. perplexity.ai, are very good at tutoring someone about how something works, i.e. advanced math, and when done in a loop can be very useful at tutoring, better than youtube videos I've seen on the same subject. The one thing I will usually request in (in the case of math), is to suffix the prompt with "explain this in terms a 9th grader would understand", and this is good enough to explain something in simpler terms with various breakdowns that can be understood by anyone to tutor yourself in alot of subjects using this method. This can be applied to programming, auto repair, construction fundamentals, almost any subject at this point.
Being an Associate Country (or Associate State) doesn't guarantee visa-free travel (ask how we know), yet I'm sure that Canadians will get it served on a silver platter.
> China will become the world's reserve currency by 2032.
China doesn’t want this for the same reason that some Americans currently in power don’t want the USD to be the world’s reserve currency - it comes with an export and trade cost.
There are also many structural and political reasons why the Yuan can’t play this role not least of which are transparency, the peg and monetary supply independence.
