No, but the EU can provide norms for what constitutes sovereign which by construction do not grant AWS a path to the data.

Microsoft does not have a sovereign offering that I know of. Those are hard to meet norms.

They do have an EU sovereign offering, that’s specifically what they were being grilled about.

All the truer when there is more miners than gold, one can't help but note.

That's been pretty much exactly my experience too.

For what it's worth, multiple times in my career, I've worked at shops that once thought they could do it quick and cheap and it would be good enough, and then had to hire someone 'picky' like me to sort out the inevitable money-losing mess.

From what I've seen even Opus 4.5 spit, the 'picky' are going to remain in demand for a little while longer still. Will that last? No clue. We'll see.

You can be picky with Opus, just yell at it to refactor a few times. To reduce refactor cycles, give it correct and enough context before you start along with expected code style, etc. These things aren't one shot magic machines.

Exact same way someone from across the street voting in a way you disagree with is democratic. Nice try appealing to xenophobia though.

In strong democracies, regulations provide the incentive.

..and you think those work?

Of course they do, if enforced. The number of eight year-olds working in factories is substantially lower than it used to be due to regulations. *in modern democracies

>if enforced..

There lies the problem...

If you do regulate. We currently have full regulatory capture in most industries and regulators that are doing their jobs are either hamstrung or the laws are so far behind the industries that they can’t or won’t work.

The key to proper regulation is to keep money and influence from pooling at the top, making it difficult for any single person to buy enough influence.

As it is, we have a dozen monopolies that should be broken up that are making a small section of the population so rich they are essentially above laws.

But, proper regulation can exist if people want it, and more specifically in the case of the USA, legislators want it. Unfortunately, Dems actively prevent it, and republicans are ripping it down, so the rest of us are kinda fucked.

Regulations can work if bypassing the regulation in question does not open up a market that is large enough to keep paying off the regulators.

For example, if there is only one regulator for a country, the companies can pay millions to get it eased up for them, because they can make billions from it.

But if there one regulator for each state, they equation will change and it might not be profitable to pay millions to a regulator of the state, because they cannot make enough profit from selling in the state to justify it.

That is the only way to make it work. Rules don't work forever. Incentives do.

Exactly. The main issue IMO is that "software that seems to work" and "software that works" can be very hard to tell apart without validating the code, yet these are drastically different in terms of long-term outcomes. Especially when there's a lot of money, or even lives, riding on these outcomes. Just because LLMs can write software to run the Therac-25 doesn't mean it's acceptable for them to do so.

Your hobby project, though, knock yourself out.

Honestly, though, screw even that.

There are so many things worth doing in so many areas that pinning your whole weekly life on a single one is just an immense waste.

Cap the time that a company gets to have from you, and achieve so much more.

I struggle to fathom the thought process that could lead one to assume that review was not done.

In which country are the VMs hosted? Do you have a warrant canary? Where's the AUP and how much peeking into customer VMs and storage do you do to enforce it?

They terminate TLS. It seems like you wouldn’t want to use this service even if all those questions were answered to your satisfaction.

I mean, they did publish the word2vec and transformers papers, which are both of major significance to the development of LLMs.

Something that Google, in hindsight, regrets.

Any link on that?
