If the Ring doorbell merely started as a webcam with some other stuff and bought by Amazon, something similar can be done with traffic stop cams

This is pretty cool.

But important to note, "competitive level" means it is good at programming competitions.

Meaning these are problems with a limited solution space, designed to be fully understood and fully explained in the question, and solved in a very short period of time.

I'm not saying it's not impressive... But in the real world of engineering, there is almost never a problem where you can say "here is EXACTLY what I want, with EVERY requirement clearly explained, and this shouldn't take you more than an hour start to finish."

Oh yes, unless there a huge tech advancement I don’t think we’ll get that power for atleast 40 years

Wooo, the US isn't the only country with incompetent portions of its government!

If they do they won't be there long. Google will gtfo. Worst policy you could possibly make, canada

I in that case I hope you have a datacenter to borrow. We need to work hard on lowering the computational requirements of these LLMs, or we need to work just as hard on democratizing access to high-performance computing.

Assuming it isn’t simply a bluff and that employers in Germany actually want to hire, all of a sudden they look a lot more competitive for, say, Brazilian and Indian talent.

The letter of the law vs. The spirit of the law... Know the Difference. React accordingly.

Good to know, F any govt that advocates for this. Signal may not be perfect but it's a great alternative to the rest of the options.

Genuinely curious how Canada is able to force Google to pay? Is it because they have servers or offices in Canada that subjects them to Canadian law?

It’s self aware

It was an /r/antiwork meme from about a week ago

The CBC has been around since 1936. How has its funding changed since then, and then since the Trudeau administration?

It's one thing to make a pithy comment like "CBC isn't going anywhere with how much money his government has funnelled into it" and it's another to provide any kind of context with the statement. How much money has he "funnelled" into it? How does that compared to other governments? Should the CBC even be "going somewhere"? Why or why not?

What data could they possibly collect that matters

I think it's less about people actually getting it and more about not "officially" supporting it in the UK so they're not subject to the laws there.

NDA's don't stop you from listing the company/government on your resume

Google should be billing news orgs to be aggregated. I don't know how they keep screwing this up.

Whoa. Watch out for this guy goin straight for the "helping child predators" approach.

There are plenty of people locked up for extremely minor things in the US (like drug possession, theft, etc) who are only in jail because they are poor.

Imagine being upset your don’t get a big enough cut of someone else’s stolen money. This world sucks.

It's a bigger mistake for the Canadian government for trying to bankrupt journalists rather than letting them promote their websites on Google.

I signed an NDA

That fine will hurt.

Someone.

Somewhere.

Eventually.

"Competitive" programming is nothing like ordinary software development: The problems are small, self-contained, clearly and unambiguously specified in natural language, might even come with a substantial set of test cases even. This is nothing new; at best a minor quality improvement.
