Tech companies will have until August 2nd, 2026, to comply with new EU rules for AI around copyright, transparency, and uses like predictive policing. New fines incoming
If it's anything like GDPR compliance, you'd better start soon

As long as the fines do not really hurt...

Do they mean like in Minority Report?
The difficult we do right away...

Without the third (minority) vote, probably. Just "we think you might do something bad one day".

Yes. I was curious about that too.
(from Google)
"The law also prohibits the use of AI for predictive policing based on profiling and systems that use biometric data to categorise people according to specific categories such as race, religion, or sexual orientation."
You know, other than not being able to spell some words like categorize and color, they smash the nail pretty squarely on the regular and in fairness it probably should be Aluminium.

Some of the best and brightest work in open source. Who are these people? How did they get there? Where do they see open source going next? It's the cookies

Whether you’re at a consultancy or a product company, from development to management, you have a hidden superpower: saying no "Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no"
Yes, I had to look it up to get the right number of no's in there

And if 'No' isn't powerful enough, you can try it's bigger brother: 'F*** You!'

You may be wondering by now what "free threading" or "free-threaded CPython" is, and why you should care But you're still not free to whitespace as you desire

"Why? Performance. Multi-threaded performance. It makes it significantly easier to write code that efficiently runs in parallel and will utilize multiple CPU cores effectively. The core counts in modern CPUs continue to grow, while clock speeds do not grow, so multi-threaded performance will continue to grow in importance."
I don't think we're quite "there yet" but I can foresee also a potential benefit of cutting the memory footprint so you could maybe throw the interpreter onto the VRAM.

Threat actors are quick to weaponize available proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits in actual attacks, sometimes as quickly as 22 minutes after exploits are made publicly available. They'd have done it sooner, but they were busy with all the other attacks

Some very sensitive US installations use(d?) 5.25" or maybe the 7"-ish?
At the time I read/watched about it they had no plans to change because it was considered another layer of making it difficult to get subversive; procuring the disks and drives.

That even makes sense, but I really doubt that's the reason behind it in germany, where most of the public services still use fax and you have to go personally to whereever you need something and bring paper copies of the rperequsites, because they can't check it themselves in the database.
