The point perhaps is that these things enable discrimination based on extremely gross grained and defective criteria - in some ways the least relevant parts of your identity.

Should have used a GDPR takedown instead of copyright: in the EU, Google doesn't tell you the identity of the requester, what qas allegedly infringing, or even the affected URl, and there's no ability to challenge. Great stuff. (/s)

Isn't the correct answer to this, lobbying for higher speed limits? Rather than chastizing obedience to current rules.

N00b question from me, perhaps, but how easy is it to mount and run Lidar on aerial drones?

"we built foundational protections (...) including (...) training our models not to retain personal information from user chats"

Can someone please ELI5 - why is this a training issue, rather than basic design? How does one "train" for this?

Something so grim should be accompanied by its citation, just so we can check it's not a windup

EU Data Act will be more relevant here, but will take a while to roll out.

Given https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ukusa-agreement-o... , what does sovereignty even mean here?

I also wish we were attracting industries that weren't going to significantly push up electricity consumption on windless days, which will have an outsized effect on electricity prices everyone else pays. At least this says the datacentres will be up north, hopefully not exacerbating transmission issues.

Thank you for this answer. The only thing I'd add is that Wikipedia is not a monolithic entity, and whilst you're probably referring to English Wikipedia (not unreasonable, given this is HN), my understanding is that other versions of Wikipedia have their own, sometimes quite different notability requirements.

"cannot" and "should not" are not the same argument. (hell, even "doesn't need to be, and yet bullies will" is not the same argument)

As for facilitation: I think you're not thinking very deep about what it takes to ensure non-English speakers are treated decently.

That's wonderful!

Though personally, I think it's even better when people join the community of active users (whether Wikipedia or any of the other projects) and help out directly!

The OP didn't genuinely ask any questions, they simply mischaracterised the banners that are on Wikipedia at the moment. I'm not the only person in this thread that seems to be having a hard time finding one that's implying Wikipedia could shut down at any moment.

"Yes the criticism is wrong, but that's your fault for not informing the critics" is absolutely victim blaming.
