The lie made into the rule of the world - Ezekiel 23:20
One of these projects might be of interest to you:
Do note that CPU inference is quite a lot slower than GPU or the well known SAAS providers. I currently like the quantized deepseek models as the best balance between quality of replies and inference time when not using GPU.
Boiling the frog 👍
I have: here’s the relevant paragraph from the directive:
Amendment 186 Proposal for a directive Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Disseminating pornographic content online without putting in place robust and effective age verification tools to effectively prevent children from accessing pornographic content online shall be punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 1 year.
Pinky promise is explicitely not allowed.
And you’re doing the exact thing: blaming the specific implementation 🙂 It’s so sad that that still tricks people. Is this your first time learning how a EU directive works?
No, it’s saying that exact thing: online users of porn must be deanonymised on penalty of prison. To stop child abuse because that’s related somehow?
It’s just that the countries themselves must choose the particulates: who will do the deanonymisation, in what way, what will enforcement look like, etc.
That’s what they mean with “the final shape of the law hasn’t been determined yet”.
Every EU directive works that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)
A directive is a legal act of the European Union[1] that requires member states to achieve particular goals without dictating how the member states achieve those goals
In this case: the de-anonymisation must happen. Up to the respective countries to do the dirty work.
When people, rightfully, get angry the local politician will say “we had to because EU”. And the EU will say “well we didn’t say it had to be in that way, it’s your local politician that did that.”
That’s simply how any EU directive works: EU decides what must happen, and it’s up to the individual countries to put it into their respective laws.
That way people get angry at their federal government instead. Who can point their finger higher up. Who can then point to the countries specific implementation in their turn. It’s a neat trick. Nobody’s responsible for anything.
the law works against its intentions
When has that ever stopped a puritan?
That’s a false dichotomy. Freedom of speech should not solely be for those you a priori agree with. That’s how autocrats motivate their supression: it’s always for the greater good, of which they’re the arbiter.
I once ate a hamburger from burger king made by employee that said the n-word when he was 17! I’m a literal nazi!
