In Europe at least, the law doesn't forbid cookies or mandate banners. It's about tracking and informed consent. It turns out companies love tracking, massively use cookies for this, and chose obnoxious cookie banner dark patterns to request consent.

But there is not such thing as a "cookie banner law".

A law that leads to cookie banners -> cookie banner law. We all know exactly what I meant.

But yes on my personal site I solved the problem by not tracking visitors because there’s no need. General traffic numbers are good enough for me.

Third party cookies are usually for tracking though.

So they are young and foolish but motivated and talented.

I can live with that.

You probably was in the your tolerance margin to say that.

But I've been to 11 schools, including private ones and ones from very poor and violent places. And there are situation where the only lesson you learn is how much people can destroy you.

We won't. We don't have much resources anymore to extract from the soil, unlike the US. Most Europe is not like Norway and Findland with their oil.

We barely invest in the important revolutions, like machine learning.

We constantly make our talents flee. Did you know hugging face founders were French? But they went to the US to be able to raise money.

Will will hold, because weather and land are very favorable, and education is not yet completely destroyed. But that's it.

Ironically, if you have money, it makes it a very nice place to live in because everything is protected at some level.

Nice, it's like cog (https://pypi.org/project/cog/), but automatic.

It could replace template rendering in the long run.

If you like Python, the library sortedcontainers has a clear, well documented, yet short source code that is a joy to read for a non trivial problem:

There is a middle ground between the cloud and on premise. You can get a VPS or a dedicated server from a traditional host. If you have a running tab with them, which is common for operations like this, you get your servers in a few hours, sometimes minutes.

The HN bubble doesn't have only disadvantages.

It's very hard to filter NSFW content. Every site I tried, unstable diffusion, kawaix.com, Mage space, novel ai... They all have some content moderation on (to avoid CP, to keep payment processors happy...), but things leak.

Some are really bad at filtering. Kawaix is particularly terrible at it, because they are new, while mage have upped their game a lot but had many months to do so.

It feels like 2000' again, and it's the wild west.

Plus when you have a horde of teenagers having a whole summer to try prompts from their bed, you get serious pen testing sessions.
