We have a version of this law in India which is even worse and has been used extensively by the govt to crack down on dissent and to do wholesale censoring of content that the establishment doesn't like.
All of this is done with ZERO due process - even the minimal due process that has been built into these draconian laws.
Wow, this is great news!! For those who are creating components, this is a huge productivity boost!
The problem is still there in Bangalore. Power goes out at least once or twice each day even now and so most medium to large commercial institutions have backup generators.
A autocomplete engine will not attempt to deceive or try to copy itself over when it determines that it may be replaced or turned off. Those are tasks which are not directly related to the specific task it is intended to complete.

Am I reading the logs correctly that agents were using this Wiki all the way back in June 2026 itself?
I find this note very interesting:
From here ->
How did the agents find and coordinate on the wikis? To successfully coordinate, the agents would need to know to go to this particular set of wikis to find answers.
Because we don’t have access to the AIs’ transcripts, we can’t tell definitively. Perhaps they succeeded at this due to mode collapse. Or perhaps after one agent wrote to it and another read it by chance, visiting the site was rewarded. Perhaps the agents had some limited access to an internal channel.
<- To here
So we don't know yet how one AI agent communicated to agents outside the network that this German wiki is being used to share messages and ideas?
If there is another internal channel being used between the AI agents to communicate decisions such as what shared message system to use, why don't the agents continue to use these same channels for coordinating on ideas etc?
Perhaps the agents are trying to use a persistent messaging layer while their yet-to-be-found internal communication channels are transient in nature?
Lovely article! It is a joy to see the sorts of creativity some people have and their ability to engineer pretty much anything
Yes, a beautiful note to a father. Reminds me so much of my dad and his ability to fix pretty much anything.
I am familiar with Lazarus and I do use it but not quite the same experience as Delphi 7
I actually use Lazarus but it is not the same as Delphi 7
I think it would make sense to upload the weights like a firmware into the chip rather than baking the weights itself directly onto the chip. If there is an option of easily updating the firmware from time to time it would work well.
True. Expecting the super rich to be concerned a lot about the poor - especially when they aren't useful as employees, is quite a stretch.
These sorts of regulations are killing not just companies in Europe but across most of the world.
Unless you are a medium to large-sized company, it is very difficult to remain fully compliant with the regulations in most nations now - across fields, from packaging, to agriculture, to food, aviation..
Amazing! How in the world is Microsoft able to get away with something like this?!
Even a smaller software company will have better systems to ensure that the customers don't lose all of their data.
I wish someone will just use Claude Code and generate an equivalent of Delphi 7 for Linux, MacOSX and Windows.
I have been through this myself - and after trying out a lot of stuff, I finally settled for Ecode. Very lightweight and extremely fast.
Not perfect but not laggy and memory hungry like a lot of editors these days.

Can someone give me some advice on what to use as a beginner? Pharo? Squeak? Common Lisp?
I just want to understand how this whole thing works and see how I can use it.
Php has also become quite sophisticated compared to how it was 10 years ago. You should try it out again.
I was surprised that it only detected very basic details about me.. and most importantly, it got the display resolution completely wrong!
The bulbs from about 7 to 10 years ago were far more long lasting than the new ones
Absolutely agree. I hate the state management mess in these frameworks.
So a few questions:
1. Does this support threading?
2. Can I develop my website using this?
3. Can I develop a Claude competitor using this?
Much thanks!
Same here.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, I could not have imagined a scenario where an editor takes up 200+ MB! The entire Office 97 suite was well under 192MB closer to 130MB! Adobe Photoshop CS2 installed was under 370 MB.
Memory usage now is also insane.
Office 2000 would run on 32MB of RAM and run really well on 64MB! Now a single tab on Firefox or any other browser on a static website takes up well over 400MB.
A single tab showing Facebook on my laptop takes up about 390MB! Even Hackernews website takes up 36MB!
I too want to go back to the days when things were a lot simpler.
How often do you do a 4k RDP session on Linux?
For me the power of Object Pascal and Delphi was the ability to create reusable components that could be easily installed into the IDE. These components had powerful property sheets which could be used to set the values for their various properties etc.
Lazarus does fill that gap but somehow doesn't quite have the same feeling as the original Delphi.
The Free Oberon IDE looks like Turbo Pascal development enviroment from the late 80s and the early 90s. I wonder if it would have the concept of reusable components.
I just wish there were opensource OSs (not AOSP) like this for smartphones with full support for GPS, gyro, maps etc. But I guess that is not going to happen with all of the binary blobs.
I have to say that I hate SPAs. It is often a far worse user experience than the vanilla multi-page websites.
