What I find interesting is the implicit priorisation: explainability, (human) accountability, lawfulness, fairness, safety, sustainability, data privacy and non-military use.

Is this a new policy? Otherwise, why this sudden and broad implementation so that "suddenly none of the IT employees at the agency could do their jobs properly anymore" (according to the source).

> Removing admin from people who don't need it is 100% the correct thing to do according to any IT guidelines you could quote. And of course, every single user will whine that they're special and really really need it.

You assume that "suddenly none of the IT employees at the agency could do their jobs properly anymore" is whining and not substantial?

Shouldn't be least privilege principle a culture (a standardised and automated process) and not something that happens ad hoc?

The first month after March equinox has great religious significance across many cultures (in the temperate zone), e.g. Pesach. When different cultures meet, they tend to syncretise.

That's the trade-off between efficiency and resilience. Another example are the egg prices in US. The industrialisation of agriculture made it more brittle.

In covalent bonds, it's two electrons one pair. Metallic bonds are more polyamorous.

This is not available in many countries. Is it due to legal issues, to preserve server capacity or a marketing gag?

I don't know how Google is internally organised, but maybe Google Labs does not have a dedicated legal team. And out of fear for possible legal implications, they just block it in EU. It's quite understandable, because the relevant legislations (AI Act etc) are all very new, not been tested in courts and due to the lack of stare decisis, you can't rely on a uniform application of the law in all jurisdictions, so they just block it. Frustrating, but I prefer they move fast rather than safe. And from their perspective, it means not releasing it in the EU.

Math notation consists of symbols and syntax (order of symbols). How to arrange the Chinese characters (syntax) is very different between different languages.

I would argue that alphabetisation would increase the use of regional languages because it would be possible to write down your speech, instead of relying on Mandarin or phonetical transcription with Chinese characters.

It's not a language. It's a writing system used to write Classical Chinese for 3000 years and Mandarin for 150 years. When I was in Hong Kong, I was surprised that the written language is Mandarin (in traditional form).

I don't think these two forms of'amnesia-induced' typos are so different. "Typos" happen quite often, especially when typing on a smartphone and selecting the wrong character. And people learn to read it correctly. It's sometimes used intentionally, e.g. 歪果仁.
