I would expect that your whole code base would be then used as training data.

I think that it is only a matter of time before they will start reselling these data as exfiltrated IP to whoever will be interested.

One day there will be a massive data leak and these backdoors are going to be closed. Not because privacy of some Joe Smith or exposing corruption, but because everyone will be able to read raunchy DMs of random politicians with their mistresses.

It will be funny when somebody will figure out that contractors watching Chinese nationals are actually Chinese spies.

Yet another argument for running your own local models. And if they are scanning, they are definitely using all your data for training or outright IP theft, no matter what they claim. Current approach is just vacuum cleaner for your data.

I bet on natural gas powerplants will start being built together with data centers.

Permanent until Trump will talk to somebody else than Navarro about these tariffs and will be promptly lifted.

The problem with current setup is attempt to strongarm tariffs onto seller, who will then promptly either stop sending any packages (because that's not how the system works) or bill the tariff back to customer explicitly - Here is your invoice for shipment and here is your invoice for tariff. You are just creating more bureaucracy at this point for no benefit.

Just compile .NET WPF in Avalonia and be done with it.

> It’s really wild the degree to which Musk’s Nazi salute has ricocheted around Europe

This is because Americans does not have places in their country with mementos like "In this building Gestapo tortured 20 people to death ..." or "659 allied soldiers died liberating this city" or "In this complex of buildings over 500 thousand people were gassed to death"

For Musk it was a funny free speech thing. For Europeans it was very personal and very painful part of history.

English is actually a weird language without genders in nouns. I.e. in Slavic languages you can say "male software engineer" with word "vyvojar" and "female software engineer" with a word "vyvojarka" and then lot of grammar is built atop of this fact.

Job listing are then trying to use something like "vyvojar/ka" to signify that both genders are sought for, but there is nothing like that in English, so you will get translation as "software engineer (all genders)" instead of using just "software engineer"

And this is why local run models are absolutely necessary. Sure Claude is better than whatever you can run locally, but to avoid being eavesdropped on every keystroke, just buy older enterprise server with enough compute for 3k USD and run similar model there.

Anything what can execute software is a computer. From a tamagochi to a mainframe.

Mark Twain: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled"

So called watchdogs of democracy has been 100% fooled. But did you see that radical left lunatics colored pedestrian cross walk using chalks? National guard inbound!

You know that you can't do it on your own, but you need to have certification for that?

> U.S. customs is demanding a Certificate of Analysis (which could cost thousands of dollars and to determine what exact amount of Aluminum, Copper and Steel are in the product), otherwise they assume the entire PCB consists of copper, aluminum, and steel, and charge a 100% tariff on the whole product.

Yes they would 200% of product won't be a problem for them.

Furthermore as I know customs, the moment you will start making stuff up in a too brazen way, they will just use Google, search some average price of products and use that instead what you are declaring.

Sometimes it looks like they are getting a cut from amount of tariff they successfully scalp from you.

If it stops working because unilateral action from USA, it will likely create a rally around the flag effect.
