wild that it requires children to be permanently maimed before the cops stop shooting at them, but there you go.

then again, it's wild that it took such large scale protests for Lecornu to commit to filling long-vacant teaching posts, ensuring school buildings are fit for human occupation with functioning sanitary facilities, and implementing basic reforms to the notoriously bad university application system. my expectations from Matignon were always low but,

it's hard to make yourself heard when your opponents have trillions of dollars hinging on you not being heard and also control the biggest communication channels.

it's the item of furniture that everyone is sitting round. the fact that people might put other things on it is about as relevant as asking why one particular person is called the Chair when everyone is seated, or why it's a conference room when the cleaners happen to also do hoovering in there.

They don't have to, but have you considered that they really like money?

These days you can't even call for ethnic purity laws without being called far-right. These days,
ligne··on A statement on the Tor Project's relationship with Mullvad
Well sure but have you considered that Der Stürmer's list of Jewish criminals shows a very disturbing pattern of behaviour by a certain ethnic group? Much to ponder.
ligne··on Claude Cowork and chat are now one Claude
If I'm booking a restaurant I'll probably be discussing the date/time options with the people I'm going with, and I can't see how adding a chatbot to the mix is meant to help?
ligne··on Donkey.bas is 45 Years Old – 131 line of Glory
131 lines and about 10% of them are the title/copyright banner. Genuinely impressive in it's terseness
ligne··on Ask HN: Does anyone have an old Goodreads API key?
You might be out of luck: I believe they expire unused after a fairly short time.
ligne··on AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt
100% of anything is a bad idea if you're going to have to draw on them any time soon. Bonds are less volatile than equity, but they're still subject to drops in value.
ligne··on Grok Build is open source
Well quite. But that means that to the extent that most people know anything about grok, it's as "that twitter AI that called itself Hitler and made naked pictures of children".

All it really shows is that the British court system will sell you all the justice that money can buy.

Retweet it all you want, but it won't make it any more true.

It reduces risk for employers by piling it onto employees, who are also probably in a worse position to bear it.

So you're so utterly convinced they're lying about this because....

The same way you monitor your staff's work in general? Do they not have goals and deadlines and some way to discuss their progress with their manager?
ligne··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
Not sure it's ever been particularly difficult to be a criminal. If anything, the tricky part has always been establishing who you can and can't trust.
ligne··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
The past few years have seen attempts to get The Diary of Anne Frank pulled from libraries, along with any mention of LGBT or Black people. What makes you think that this will be used to protect kids from racial, sexual and misogynistic abuse, let alone predatory businesses?

I reckon if you applied an airport level of surveillance to go out for a drink, you'd destroy the hospitality industry in under a week.

Reddit and Twitter can buy their way out of those problems (hell, they can buy their way out of trouble for literally generating sexual abuse content). What makes you think they'll be affected more than the operator of a little Mastodon server do the same?

In theory the King can veto any law he wants. In practice he couldn't without causing a monumental constitutional crisis that would probably end his reign. His unofficial ability to influence government policy is the real issue, but one that is definitely not limited to that one guy with the special blood.
