Cicero, De divinatione, I, 111

Aristotle, Politics, 1, 11

Neither are easy reading.

I'm old so I've been a fan since The Committed Men (1971) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... his first book. He's varied his scope throughout a long career, last one I read was The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again https://www.gold.ac.uk/goldsmi... , sort of British magical realism or a ghost story. Plenty to enjoy and some, but not all, is SF.

Because identifying who was doing the download is much more expensive than looking to see which ISP level connection the bytes went to. I suspect that they will blindly accept a DMCA type notification from the copyright holder regardless of accuracy.

All that you would have got was some of this

How fast is it, how large is the binary ? Even if the numbers are not great this is amazing for a first release.

Just as importantly: how maintainable is it, how easy to find out what happens when things go wrong ?

Again being the size it is the government Denmark can start with publishing all of its forms in ODF format, no more DOCX; also use open/free fonts. This makes it a MS problems if they do not render properly -- people will start blaming MS for errors not the other way round. Thus industry and people at home will start using LibreOffice (what is in Collabora).

Next they need to push schools & tech colleges to use ODF, too many of them train students to learn how to use Microsoft products, they graduate and expect to use MS in their jobs. Actually: it would be nice if schools were to train people properly, most teachers do not know how to use style sheets, etc, and, eg, will make columns line up by pressing spaces rather than setting tabs/whatever. Start by teaching teachers (harder than you think).

if it does not do what you want take the damned source and add what is missing and everyone will benefit. If you do not have the expertise then pay the developers or someone to do it for you. Yes: it will cost but to an entity the size of the Danish government the cost will be less than the cost of licensing MS Office for another year or so. Once this development cost is paid it does not need to be paid again next year - unlike a license fee.

If the various EU governments each pay to fix whatever itch scratches for them then you quickly end up with better packages; as well as regaining digital sovereignty etc. This must be obvious to almost everybody, or it is being used as an excuse to do nothing or maybe keep the brown envelopes coming ?

What on earth are they doing that it needs 8GB of RAM ?

Maybe Trump is angling for a new job when his presidency of the USA ends: deputy president of Russia.

It depends on what you regard as most important: a company making a lot of money that is distributed to a small number of people (share holders) even if it means, for instance, polluting the local environment or acting to the benefit of the general population. Ie is it the rich getting richer and the poor poorer or is wealth to be distributed more evenly.

An interesting 46min video on just this: an inward looking America has never best served its own interests, also the history of "America First".

So can I say: "I did not shoot him, my gun only ejected the bullet at high speed when the trigger was pulled, which is what the thing is made for."

turned himself in at a local police station saying that he is the head of a criminal hacking organisation and that he should be arrested and the rest of Open AI shut down with immediate effect.

No ? If your are rich enough the normal rules increasingly do not apply to you.
