The article include a short term solution for buyers, while regulators get their act together. It’s good advice even outside Australia:
Dr Van Amber advises washing any new textiles before their first use — including clothes, sheets, towels and tablecloths.
“Wash everything that comes into your home before you use it, because we don’t know what sort of residual chemicals might be in garments or textiles when they’re being produced.”
Relying on a black box or stochastic AI would probably make this harder to certify and to get public acceptance.
My guess is that, if certified, this would have very niche uses. Basically would only be used where using sprinkler is not possible.
I suspected LLM scrappers when hearing about the DDOS attack. Those are doing a continuous DDOS on many projects.

Just reported this post as misinformation. The op hasn’t linked to his source. And available data countradict this graph.
Could you please link the precise source?
When searching this, I found the figure doesn’t match the numbers from IHME https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/malnutrition-death-rates?tab=table&tableSearch=France
The small subtitle holds the important part:

Ukraine’s defence ministry has fired a top commander after photos emerged of a group of emaciated soldiers who have been left on the frontline for months without proper food and water.
I’m sure that if Russian solders suffered similar problems, their government would totally held the commander accountable, and would absolutely not silence nor threaten their family.
Are you aware of the Piefed API? It’s provided specifically to allow building front-ends and bots while avoiding scrapping.

An average fill up runs at about 34 megawatts.
Most of that energy is lost because ICE are very inefficients. Still, impressive.
Also, it’s not possible to refill at home, and it’s expensive when there’s a war near an oil-producing country at the other side of the world.
Electrifying has this downside of slow recharge, but quite a lot of benefits as well.
And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent’s they’re pressured to use.
So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.
Good. This may reduce the amount of sloppy code being created. And prevent prices from increasing for everyone.
Yes, assuming (local) government realize modern train infrastructure is useful and decides to start building more right now.
by bus, or train (if there’s such a thing in NA)
I’m aware train infrastructure in limited in NA, hence the “if”. Let’s hope the inability to operate some flights due to fuel cost motivates expansion of modern train infrastructure in the area.
There’s only 600km between Montreal and NYC, and no ocean to cross. It’s absolutely possible to make the trip by bus, or train (if there’s such a thing in NA).
That’s a hard pivot. And building more AI infrastructure is a bad idea. But they might make some short term money given the AI hype.
1.225 M EUR is the maximum fine allowed by law for one of the charges. There was a 4,57 M EUR customs fine added on top of that for violating international sanctions. The fine is shared between the company AND the former executives involved.
If the law allowed it, the amount could have been higher. Fining the company AND former executives, as well as sending the former CEO to jail is a good way to hold people accountable.
Bruno Lafont, Lafarge’s former CEO, was arrested in the courthouse upon sentencing and immediately sent to prison.
They’re requesting mostly wrong solutions for real problems.
Age verification doesn’t address social media’s problems, but does increase data collection and decrease privacy. Same for decrypting private messages.
A guardian account does seem reasonable.
They could also completely turn off user seach for minors, so they would have to add contacts by username or email, and couldn’t reach or be reached easily by online strangers.
Minors could circumvent this if there’s no age verification. But today’s age verification methods are neither privacy-friendly nor hard to circumvent. Until they are, it’s not worth requiring age verification.
