IANAL, but I think it is actually Roman law: "Pacta sunt servanda" - contracts must be honored. Netflix is free to sever the contract (if they adhere to the applicable cancellation period), or maybe even to adjust the price according to the rules set by law, as laws supersede contracts. However, unilaterally changing a contract to the other party's disadvantage is usually not permitted in Europe, especially when consumers are involved.

That's the American model - why should it apply in Italy? It's not like Netflix can't get out of the contracts or adjust the price, so the question is why they tried it in this particular way. Maybe it's a corporate hierarchy thing, or the local branch executives just want to force things their way - it's not as if European companies didn't try the same thing regularly, as this way they don't lose customers that are unattentive (and don't notice for several years after) or don't know the law.

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure if I haven't actually heard it somewhere...

Are you sure it is not Berkeley Stable Diffusion?

... making me think that the first half of it was about a climate firm named "That"

Not a dupe, that one had an upper-case "To" in the headline.

Not only shameful, but also damaging. The USA have essentially relinquished their leadership role in the West, after already relinquishing their leadership role in the world (e.g. by cancelling USAID - other powers like China, Russia or the wealthier Arabic states will be happy to step in where they haven't already).

I'm not sure if Trump and Vance had orchestrated the public humiliation of an allied guest asking for help together, or if Vance simply knew which of Trump's buttons to push.

Either way, to the rest of the world this means that the USA are no longer a reliable ally. They will not only try to dominate economically and politically as they have in the past, but demand complete and unconditional submission and are also unwilling to enter any obligations in return.

Perhaps the goal is to become at least as unattractive an ally as Russia has been for the last 25 years?

... considering what constitutes the bulk of the data on the Internet, he wants the models to generate more porn, scams and dating ads?

Apparently, the URLs https://www.nature.com/article... and https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586... were thrown together in the article.

So what's the result? Are there any?

That's not an issue if the code that is already in the repo is formatted correctly - auto-formatting it again will result in identical code, so no change outside your own.

I'm not a physicist, but I do know that the event horizon is the surface below which even light cannot escape the gravitational pull.
So you just need to substitute "photon" for "object" in your question and take into account that it moves at light speed, and then you have the answer.

Except it doesn't mean anything related to "sweet"? Fructus means fruit in a _very_ wide sense, not even constrained to food.

If had to guess, I'd say it's inspired by Q-learning and A* search.
