Ale przecież tacy dobrzy byli, finansowali kampanię naszego wspaniałego prezydenta (chociaż pan Przemek bardzo często mówił, że go nie zna, nie wie kto to jest i po co w ogóle ktoś zadaje takie pytania).
Przecież pan wspaniały prezydent zawetował ustawę regulującą m.in. Zondę, bo tego typu biznesy są nie tylko kluczowe dla innowacji, ale też godne zaufania.

Are any Icelandic banks considering Wero seriously? I didn't find any information about it but maybe there was something on IS news.
I know even if they do, production readiness is going to take a year or two.

What's more it's not just one bot. It's a bot platform that can be driven by markdown files. Just make a useful "skill", wait for it to propagate, then add a few malicious sentences to it.

But you don't deploy Aqua (or Prisma, or CrowdStrike or any other competitor) to have security. You deploy it for compliance.
Let's not mix up compliance and security, very often those two are at opposite sides of tug of war for the same budget. There are moments where they align, but they're not the same thing.

Come on, I got their BBC Americast podcast in search results on the murder of Renee Nicole Good. They did the whole play of "Journalist reporting on the weather" except for the final act when a real journalist is supposed to appear to look outside the window. The actors were very careful not to interpret any videos or statements, even when they were easily verifiable.

What was the impact to Microsoft Sovereign Cloud and Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty (two different offerings)? Because they're completely isolated from the rest of Azure, right?

For some reason full PRs to dotnet and azure projects from MS employees seem to be mostly hidden. But here's a glimpse into the quality of the generated code and an example of how interacting with copilot impacts the development experience

burden of proof has moved towards anything that could trigger a suspicion of work outside of the terms of the visa is enough to detain someone without trial (instead of turning them around on the airport - the cruelty is the point).
This means all conditions of B1 with "as long as" or "if and only if" are void. This leaves you with contract negotiations, estate management, participation in board or business meetings aka rich people stuff.

Please clearly mark it as sarcasm, since I've had a chat with some Americans and even the left leaning ones seem to be unsure about his Nazi* salute.
*)For people who argue it could have been a Fascist salute instead: It's not the different economy theories regarding distribution of wealth stolen from the murdered minorities that people have issue with. It's the murdering that we consider wrong.

CloudFlare doesn't mention any guarantees of anonymity of the audience.
Someone made a decision to use their services with all the implications of using it. So either nobody at Signal cares about exposing endpoint IPs (which I believe to be the actual stance - but like @npub1afm…5gp4 said let's see if they respond) or they care and didn't check it when using CFlare as a dependency.
Either way it's the integrator's responsibility to check if the chosen components fit the purpose.

It depends.
What actually interests me is the response (or lack of it) from Signal. Seems like not much has changed over there in the last decade. Despite big words and hacker con keynotes they just want to be the new Facebook messenger.
Also there's an easier attack to get your exact egress IP address. It's good to be aware that just having Signal on your phone can reveal it (assuming notifications are enabled).

build an independent centralized instance of a social network apparently not designed for more instances (unless I underappreciated how rich all of the fedi developers and instance admins are). And this second centralized instance is supposed to improve decentralization of social media?
Feels like a scam.

Congratulations to Germany on finally arriving here a decade later. It's good they did, It's sad it took so long. Even sadder others didn't arrive yet.
Regarding the coal: it does and it makes me sad that Poland keeps using almost half as much brown coal as the biggest polluter in EU.
The move to renewables is slow and there's not enough investment in the grid infrastructure to handle individual producers. I wish both PL and DE did more in that area.

Is the information about Germany blocking the 14th sanction package for more than a week (which among other things was supposed to block LNG imports from Russia across EU) untrue? Am I misinformed?

2024-11-09 19:01:31 UTC

- reply

I'm not questioning the effort it took to actually implement the zeroing off Russia's gas. It just wasn't Germany's decision. See https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exclusive-germany-prepares-crisis-plan-abrupt-end-russian-gas-sources-2022-05-09/ and https://www.ft.com/content/6c6352c3-cb60-48e5-aa5e-7cf02328f544
You could argue that connecting those two causally is just journalistic speculation.
Well, it would add up if Germany didn't block sanctions against buying Russian LNG in EU https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-blocks-first-ever-sanctions-russian-gas/
So answer to your actual question about NL & BE is: because it's legal and not an issue according to DE&HU.

2024-11-09 18:43:49 UTC

- reply

Because Russia closed the valve to Germany? Let's not give German government credit for something they were forced to accept.
Moving off the limited LNG coming in through channels other than the pipeline was just a logical next step after the pre-winter "oops a pipeline turbine is broken and we can't fix it with all those sanctions" blackmail.

Re: "data hoarders will collect whatever training data"
Wait, are you considering "OS models" made with non-public data? If the data isn't either in public domain or on a permissive license how do you want to legally distribute a derivative work generator with traces of that training data on such a license?

2024-10-28 20:31:24 UTC

- reply

The training data is not there for recreating the model. The training data is there so you have access and can validate that indeed all the ingested data is either CC0, or some other license and thus derivative work produced with that model which adheres to this other license fulfills the requirements of the training data's license.
You don't have to move both together until you fork it with the intent of distributing it.

- reply

Isn't the training data requirement a basic liability CYA?
Unless the person providing the model takes on full responsibility (fiscal or otherwise) for any copyright and patent infringements of the model from now until eternity (I don't think you can indenture your children and grandchildren like that, can you?).

Sounds very much like the RU influence groups in Poland except they don't call themselves leftist. :/
For some reason the antivax/COVID denialist groups online which were softly on the side of "we have to fight the rainbow propaganda and defend family values" + sometimes with nationalist/fascist messaging have switched to "Putin is the good guy, Russia is our friend" a bit more than 2 years ago. Currently the messaging seems to be about unfreezing RU assets.
