Re: No limit for the Netherlands but for EU?

This was my first thought, the EU has a direct and highly targeted way to hit back on US sanctions here. If the US don't want us to have them fine, they can't use our technology to make them.

Re: Who is running the project?

Tesco rolled out new till software for customer services at the beginning of this month.

Re: FTDI, really, the USB Serial/TTL chip people

or the UK government will acquire them and combine the operation with Octric Semiconductors UK.

Re: A good thing...

It took 6 years and a research team of thousands and probably the GDP of a medium size nation to achieve it current success. To me it one of the key components of building what a average person would call a AI, is image recognition. The fact Google Lens is so damn good means we are another step closer to skynet

Re: Copyright Claim Would Fail

But so can a significantly well read human.

Re: The UK Government?

I raise a eyebrow in reading that report and it hasn't been covered anywhere. A interesting acquisition, I'm wondering if we will eventually see it acquiring licenses to manufacturer a much wider array of computer processors in the coming years. At least enough capacity, we can supply the military ourselves and not rely on imports from Taiwan and US.

I also wonder if eventually it be transferred to the sovereign wealth fund to run rather than kept at the MOD. The sovereign wealth fund would have more interest in expanding it beyond just military applications.

Re: You can't do this stuff commercially any more.

Actually that the US model, which is essentially Five Eyes model, they have been demanding backdoors into everything for decades.

Re: Coincidence or what !!!

Face that his co-defendent also happen to die this week as well, does raise my suspicions. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/19/mike-lynchs-co-defendant-in-us-trial-fatally-struck-by-car-while-jogging#:~:text=Stephen%20Chamberlain%2C%20once%20Mike%20Lynch's,Cambridgeshire%2C%20his%20lawyer%20has%20said.

You develop your models and are technology outside of the EU, then you do the bureaucratic hurdles jumping afterwards. By that point your tech is so far ahead that the EU tech companies who have had to do the hurdles jumping from day one and US if they follow the EU, they can't compete with your technology anyway once you decide to expand into those markets.

See the Chinese and their electric car technology or even TikTok, where Facebook and US car companies only response is to run to congress to ask for protection.

Re: Well I guess the one nice thing

I don't think the article is accurate. Root canal, followed by a crown takes 2, 2 hours visit. But last time I had just the crown fitted it was about 20 minutes.

Fall in results is because everyone fears Israel and it daddy USA is about to have a pissing contest with Iran and short of perhaps OPEC declaring another oil embargo or find another way to say Israel has been punished it assassination, there going to be war in the Middle East.

They simply using pretend poor numbers from the companies to cover it, so normal investors don't panic.

Re: "its best earners have fled for crews with better opportunities"

Yeah well it kind of hard to stop them permanently when they hang out in countries like Russia, China and North Korea.

There goal is to steal Deepmind and Stability AI an companies AI talent. They are more likely to be successful if those people don't have to move their homes whilsts moving jobs.

So London is their best choice.

I doubt Scientists will be turning down data from either telescope.

Re: Having trouble getting my head around what exactly is at issue here

You should be fine if your AI can view the images for training in the same way as a human does, instead of copying them into a seperate training archive.

Re: World leaders in semiconductor innovation

Patents means the knowledge of how you are making and producing your technology is in the public domain. Which makes it easier for other companies to replicate it.

I have hired three electricians in my life all three smelled of booze. I think that may explain a thing or two.

Re: It's useful. (Unlike most must-have tech)

It not the end of ad search.

Say you ask it, help me build a android app,

The provider of the service can still get to promote specific programming tools to the user and they cam charge for those mentions.

If the US don't want it people targeted for assassination may be it should targeting Iranians citizens for assassination.
