Absolutely, the quickest way to lose faith in "The Science" is actually to do Science in a formal research institute....

As someone based in the EU but an English speaker I like to buy from .eu domains, the language will probably be in English and the shipping pan Europe while still priced in Euro with no import duties.

I trust .de domains too for the same reasons as that's a kind of default pan European domain mainly based on amazon.de and caseking.de.

Hmm it didn’t work that way for me, first I asked it to summarise a video, then I simply posted the link to the video assuming it would give the transcript, in both cases it summarised the transcript.

But if I start a new session and simply paste the link to the video it gives the transcript. I’m not sure an llm is the best solution to getting full transcripts.

I've been using Voxscript [0] for a while, after comparing the two I think voxscript is better, gives longer more detailed summaries, TexTube just seems to give a very brief impersonal overview. Easy to try both and see which you prefer.

There is this false idea that setting up an AWS or Google or Facebook competitor is in some way difficult. It’s not, if Meta, AWS, Google were banned in the EU perfectly functional European equivalents would pop up very rapidly similar to Russia and China.

In some ways I wish the EU would ban US tech companies, EU basically has no indigenous tech landscape compared to Russia and China who have suppressed US tech.

I have to agree, it’s unusual the way the writer described this man as living a “quiet life”. He was the head of the union in what was likely a major employer and had a large family along with probably a large extended family.

He didn’t seek fame but I wouldn’t describe this man as a quiet one, he probably lived in a rich social network full of visitors, work colleagues, veterans, friends etc. There are very few people aside from egotists who seek large scale recognition for their work etc.

It’s an old blog post from over a decade ago (2013). Here is what I assume it originally pointed to: https://workmanlayout.org/

TCS is a very Indian organisation, it would make sense for them to hire Indians in the US. The reason this lawsuit is proceeding at all is because a senior exec said exactly this, they want to have more Indians working for TCS in the US. There is no evidence they were fired because they were American they’re just latching onto this throwaway comment which was stupid but at the same time completely understandable.

TSMC wants more Taiwanese working on its semi plants in US for similar reasons, but at least their executive team is a bit more diplomatic in how they say these things.

Maybe the company simply prefers to hire Indians better cultural fit etc. this is one of the main things considered when making a hiring decision. Will this person get on well with the team, be productive etc.

I can’t imagine communists were too comfortable around other committed communists, being sent to the gulag was always a latent possibility if you were determined to be an ideological enemy.
