If the ICC gets sanctioned there will probably be a big boost in EU companies leaving USA services for good. Many are already very seriously talking about it, but need to be 'pushed' a bit more.

The previous ICC sanctions started a lot of discussion in the EU. For example, people loose not only access to Microsoft services but also bank/credit card (Visa is USA). https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/feb/18/international-cr...

EU is slow, but poke it enough and it will leave USA services (and then never come back). For example, Nextcloud can substitute MS365, ICC itself did so after the previous sanctions: https://delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/international-criminal-c...

"We could see where these people are on the map. if we wanted to drill down further, we could resolve the data to an individual level where we have close to 4000-5000 data points on every adult in the United States"

See this video for how Alexander Nix (former CEO) presented the data he had on every adult in the united states https://youtu.be/APZUrj8SN0M?t=297 (start at 4:55 min)

I am not a "no-moatist" per se but one can argue their might be a plateau to how good a inference llm can become. If this is the case the playing field shifts to context, tools and harness, which are much cheaper to build an compete on.

Good marketing and definitive proof that local (read: on-prem & air-gapped) models with correct context and tools are good enough to perform on par and above SOTA cloud hosted solutions.

We have seen this point many times before with different technologies. The first computers at university were big and expensive, same as this machine. Give it a few years and this functionality will be a commodity.

I think what will happen is what happened to something like 4K video decoding before where it ends up in silicon costing almost nothing to run extremely fast on device.

"Good enough" LLM functionality (for the use case) will be on-die or on-chip for cars, appliances, etc. This will provide speeds of chatjimmy at a battery-level power consumption.

Probably this will also happen for software engineering. Some usb-powered AI accelerator with Kimi K3 (and in future even better) performance running at 10K+ tokens/sec under 50W of power purchasable for almost no cost. Need a better model? Buy the new hardware. Old hardware is probably still fine for a lot of other use-cases. I expect China to be a big player here, it fits their open-model and hardware-manufacturing strategy.

Tried it today. Works fine for navigation. I am missing live traffic info. This is the one thing keeping me in Google Maps the past years.

> RDW said the EU sets stricter requirements for safety during vehicle approvals than the U.S. "This means that the FSD Supervised version in the U.S. is NOT comparable to the FSD Supervised version in the EU," it said, without providing further details.

The Netherlands has one of the highest road safety standards in the world. More info on differences between USA and NL on the site of RDW (Dutch)

Interesting to put this into perspective to Tesla's master plans from 20 years (https://www.tesla.com/secret-master-plan) and 10 years ago (https://www.tesla.com/master-plan-part-deux)

My 75" Samsung The Frame (2024) uses 70w in 'art mode'. It has a motion sensor and you can configure to fully switch off after some timeout.

I see a lot of blocked requests in my OPNsense firewall (not sure what exactly) but I see that with almost all 'smart' devices (which I like to keep local).

Android source code will be released twice per year instead of every quarter.

I assume this means the reviews under "Trusted by Listing Agents" are AI generated as well?

I've been able to successfully update a windows 10 machine which was not enrolled in the ESU progam.

The model is openly distributed, enabling others to improve it. Currently there are numerous uncensored and improved versions of Deepseek r1 out there already.

This community effect of improving models is why in my opinion the best LLMs will soon all be open.

How does this play with copyright on things like the product text and images? Which legal entity will end customers have a monetary relation with?

Yes, Wikipedia: In July 2022, Cowern reported that she had developed long COVID. She was hospitalized in March 2023, as her symptoms similar to myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome continued to worsen, leaving her unable to move

Where will this debris land? Can it impact airplane routes?

Good to read! Many EU countries had similar rules already in place. With the EU DSA + FTC now mandating this, it will probably finally become the standard world wide.

For comparison, in the Netherlands all postcode data is open data, including detailed building outlines as well as almost all other related information.

My 7950X3D also reports 192MB L3 cache, both in windows and in HWinfo

I run a self hosted Gitlab CE instance for many years now and I am very happy with it. I also experiment a lot with local LLMs. Will there be a CE release which allows for usage combined with a locally running LLM in the future?

It would be great if this evolves to support mysql to postgresql and mysql to sqlite.

Then we can finally have multiple database engine support for WordPress and others.

Anyone has any non video source with more info on this?

A similar variant of this message telling me I am from EU and therefore can not visit a US site already exists.

Great work! How does it compare to migadu.com?
