Yes, however due to how homogenous the US is in comparison to the EU it is a lot easier to market products there.
I definitely don't expect Apple to come to the conclusion that they should pull out of the EU, just suggesting that the US 330M population is easier to target than the EUs 450M, and that therefore the US market (rightfully) probably weighs higher than the EU.
Funny to use that homogeneity of the market as an argument here. The EU is the very institution that is working to make the market more homogeneous in Europe, and the DMA is part of that same goal.
The US is easier to target because the EU has stronger consumer protections and stronger laws against monopolies (and other forms of market distortion). The reason Apple has a harder time targeting the EU is because the US is weak, not because it's more homogeneous.

Regardless of EU efforts, the EU can never be as homogenous of a market as the US. Even if all laws become uniform across the whole of the EU and there are no longer VAT, legal incorporation, etc. differences (probably ot happening in our lifetimes) if nothing else, any company has to translate all their content, apps, websites, etc. to the respective language(s - yes, there are countries with more than one official language, a few of them in fact) of each EU country to be able to cover the whole EU market.
No, the plan was changed to have a fixed monthly fee in addition to the cost per kWh for all, but lower income households will have a lower fixed monthly fee.
I have no idea about this particular program, but similar programs already exist for other utilities, you can look at how they do it (open the "What information do I need to provide..." section): https://www.att.com/internet/access/
Previous proposals would have required everyone to provide income data to their utility which the utility would verify “somehow” (never fully articulated AFAIK)
The latest proposal (which has been accepted by the CPUC) has fixed charges applied for everyone (much lower than previously proposed fixed charges) with discounts available based on existing low-income programs ( https://www.pge.com/en/account/billing-and-assistance/financ... )
So yes in order to get the discount low-income customers need to declare income and may need to verify that income with tax documents (depending on how much fraud these program plan to tolerate) but other customers do not need to provide income information.
Still gives incorrect code to the following prompt - the description is correct but not the code. I have yet to find one LLM that gives the correct code. This is the prompt:
“Write C code to calculate the sum of matrix elements below the secondary diagonal.“
I wouldn't know what "secondary diagonal" refers to myself, but if the model correctly describes the problem and then follows it up with incorrect code I would still say that's an issue with the model not the prompt.
NATO reporting names use common starting letters for different categories of weapons. For surface-to-surface missiles all begin with the letter S. Most of the names chosen wouldn't raise eyebrows: Sapwood, Sasin, Sibling, Stone... Some of them seem to have an appreciative "cool factor": Skyfall, Saber, Stiletto... But generally there isn't a derogatory theme to these code names. For instance, codenames for fighter jets include Foxhound, Firebird, Fencer, and Felon. Some of these are really cool names that could have been given to western jets by marketting while others seem derogatory. There's not much of a pattern here.
I think it's pretty safe to assume by now that US state-side counterintelligence has full control over AI safety circles, and given that everything is a nail when you're a hammer, the spooks probably consider these people domestic terrorists and process them accordingly, including active and passive prophylaxis. I mean, what proof do you need when people like OP lose sleep and brag about meeting the spooks a handful of times like it's the most important event of their lives! I guess it must be both empowering AND embarrassing for the spooks to have this situation turn into shit.
When someone is a PhD, and you know this, and you choose to use ms/mr/mrs instead of dr (or omitting an honorific altogether, the most common, unobjectionable choice), it can easily be interpreted as condescension.
Dude, PhDs give a fuck about PhDs. At least in the States. I would find it odd to be addresses this way. When I addressed my phd supervisor the first time with professor doctor XYZ, he just said, I am Bill. My name is Bill!
Also like the one time you most typically use the Dr honorific is specifically when you are speaking about the person in reference to their profession.
