I thought people here in HN were very happy whenever US companies were forced to follow local regulations? They would proudly say “when you have a business in this region, you must follow the law”. But people seem unhappy about this. Does this mean HN users are only happy when US companies are forced to follow whatever regulations HN users like, but not others? Seems hypocritical.

> We do not have a say over a nuclear-armed idiocracy forcing it's profound corruption and stupidity on other sovereign entities.

That’s funny because it perfectly defines the relationship between the EU and the countries in it.

Just to confirm, what this means is that the training data contains one or multiple pitch black images, and their system is refusing to reproduce them verbatim?

Interestingly, using AI Studio with the gemini-2.5-flash-image model and asking it to generate a "completely black image" fails with the message "Image recitation block," which has zero hits in Google.

Considering all models can use search engines, is this really relevant?

They are selling a reduction in labour costs which has been the primary selling point of automation since humans began automating things.

I don’t see why the people being booed should be responsible for answering this question. How many such questions did the inventor of the tractor have to answer?

I was thinking more in terms of horsepower, etc. I’m sure it will be a “city car” with ridiculous power and autonomy.

I can’t even imagine how ridiculous this will look.

How about you go back to making actual cars at that price point?

The page is gzipped in transit - only 5 MB of traffic are generated.

Isn’t that the audio description (AD) track? Maybe it’s mixed in because of an encoding error.

She did everything properly, but the tax agency illegally imposed a fine on her anyway.

Remember that in Spain the tax agency loses 51 % of trials. I assume the percent would be even higher if everybody could afford to defend themselves.

Heh, reminds me of how the monkeypox scandal somehow vanished from the public eye when it was obvious that it spread from sexual contact and babies and dogs began to contract it.

…she was told she had to pay taxes that she didn’t owe. It was a shakedown, which is quite common for the Spanish tax agency.

A Mandela effect is when it happens to a large group of people. I’m afraid you’re alone in this.

What’s interesting to me is that for you to build a $10B datacenter (or any other business) you are shaken down for over $3.3B.

Closed source binaries rot.

> Kids in need aren’t even really the target of the organization’s financial efforts. Instead, those go to 17- and 18-year-olds seeking gap-year trips to Israel and their families.

This is priceless.

They only show what the website gives them through opengraph tags. If the site doesn’t want to give up that information they can remove the opengraph tags. Even still, fair use should allow Facebook to summarise the contents of the link if they wanted to (but they don’t do that).

And this is only the beginning.

I wonder what a good white-collar career path will be post-AI? What is your opinion on this?

The demographics of this site have changed so much that people here are applauding… that it is now illegal to embed opengraph information on Facebook? This is deranged. And it only happens because the government is in bed with legacy media. The government being in bed with the media is awful for the common person.

Embedding opengraph data is a clear case of fair use, and it’s sad to see all of this coming from a community that has long been against copyright.
