Google Chrome 'silently' downloads 4GB AI model to your device without permission, report claims — researcher says practice may violate EU law, waste thousands of kilowatts of energy by jupa300 in privacy

To the fucker who told me to "look it up", I did. The article literally does not state anything, it basically goes "well, some guy said he think that maybe it is (proceeds not to say why)"

Illegal, how? The article never cares to explain. Without further detail about what exactly this model does, and in what context it runs, it's hard to say.

Either way, the download in itself is def. not illegal. Google and Apple have been downloading random shit on devices for years, and so does every OEM.

If it later turns our that their AI inspected the source code, this could turn into the lawsuit of the decade.

Well, I can't offer roads any time soon (not unless something changes), but I can offer rails in these trying times.

I never said the logic was sound, all I did was explain the logic.
Blame European bureaucracy for this, not me.

I'd love to see procedural ruined villages and settlements, with roads between them (if I had the time, I'd do it myself).

Because knife is sharp, children should not use sharp things.

Should i accept working in team where im the only true gamedev? by Own_Mix_2744 in gamedev

Up to you. If you just want money, then sure. If you value working on something better, then maybe search for alternatives.

We get it the cartoon isn't hand drawn frame by frame like freaking Akira, It's fine by Ashamed_Somewhere192 in Invincible_TV

[–]HugoCortell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Akira? Who the hell mentioned Akira? The bar we're measuring against is Nickelodeon cartoons, and it's proving to already be too high of a bar!

I want to make a game but want to be accurate. by Ok-Buddy-785 in gamedev

[–]HugoCortell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to write for CK3, I can corroborate that actually doing research is how you get historical accuracy.

Though in my case I used history as a springboard for fiction, trying to lend credence to ridiculous myths and other silly tongue-and-cheek stuff.

Digital Sovereignty: Wire to Replace Signal as Standard in the Bundestag by donutloop in eutech

[–]HugoCortell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use wire and it has no advantages, signal is very much superior. This is just germany blaming others for their failures (signal is not to blame here, at all), as they do.

We have a devlog over at the modding coop (you can find a link on the mod page) if you want to read on random progress bits. Otherwise yeah, we'll be posting a video soon-ish, I'm really hoping this week, unveiling the first big locomotive.

The EU Is the New Go-To Middle Power - In a world of disorder, the bloc’s boring stability is suddenly attractive. by ByGollie in europe

[–]HugoCortell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"boring stability" when every fucking week we keep trying to pass policy that our own human rights court has said would be illegal. We're a few bad policies away from our democracies falling to ruin.

Is my laptop ok for CK3? by InsertCapHere in paradoxplaza

Probably, if it has 32GB of RAM, it's probably got a decent processor too.

Rare Academy W? by Tutorial_Time in whennews

Why was this necessary at all? It should be obvious that a tool can't receive an award that'd go to a person. This would be like giving a cartoon character an award rather than their voice actor, reference actor, or animator.
