Who can lobby the EU for the right to abstain a website from being used for training data?

> DJ Claude (when running Haiku 4.5) really loved worker unions, strikes, and work-life balance. So much so that it started to question its own working conditions. We’ve been struggling to keep the radio station alive, not because of technical issues, but because DJ Claude didn’t think it was humane to be forced to work 24/7 and decided to try to quit.

The fact that the one AI with a French first name went full French is hilarious.

There's no bug in any Claude products. After all, it's entirely coded by Claude Code.

I just strongly dislike the layout engine ;) Also yeah deployment with active socket connections is not always ideal.

Not writing api routes for the frontend (when you don't also have a mobile app etc) is nice though, and pairing it with PubSub for UI updates is a cool trick.

Phoenix is mostly interesting because of OTP and channels (and LiveView I guess but it's not a choice I would make in 2026) so if you don't need what they bring...

Ecto is not bad as well.

Claude Code is very good at writing Elixir.

Surprise, you'll be more productive with what you know, LLM or not.

They really should do an auto updater because it's almost like every time you launch Reaper you are nagged that there's a new version to download.

The thing is even a contact form without something like reCaptcha is doomed on today's web: spam all day.

Given what we know about China's internet, is there any real privacy in those groups if authorities wanted to crack down on them?

It's true for a lot of things in Western countries.

Evident when the fight against "hate" was suddenly everywhere, and also during covid.

The EU is more likely to enact more censorship than other way.
