As a non-Canadian, I find this a very good news also. You said it well. What I didn't expect was that things could move at this lightning pace. Well done, EU & Canada!

Pity that for such an obvious fact that even peasants like me can easily see, the "elite" European political leaders are still playing ostrich.

"privileged access to chips", nailed it.

Saw it first on reddit, and later I created a small project to generate audio books from epub. So far I've listened to couple of books generated this way and am quite satisfied with the quality. There is just one particular word I remember that it pronounced wrongly - "Malay".

"Open Source" is the ultimate romance understood by software engineers.

"the operators of the site remain unidentified." I laughed at this quite a bit.

The last point made me chuckle, good catch :D

Wow, it's from Donald Knuth.

I never put on stickers (except the Stain Javelin) on my laptop. It may be just me, but if feels messy to me.

We are in an age that being screwed by the Giant Techs is inevitable and there is pretty nothing much we can do.

Please elaborate or give some examples to back your claim?

I'm not sure if I got your issue, but I can do platform-dependent `index` `pytorch` installation using the following snippet in `pyproject.toml` and `uv sync` just handles it accordingly.

[tool.uv.sources] torch = [{ index = "pytorch-cu124", marker = "sys_platform == 'win32'" }]

I happened to use uv recently for a pet project, and I totally agree with you. It's really really good. I couldn't believe its dependency resolution and pulling can be so fast. Imho, it's the python package manager (I don't know the most suitable name to categorize it) done right, everything just works, the correct way.

I sense legal escalation coming.
