"The French court observed that unlike the Hague Convention of 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters, which provides a “sovereignty or security” ground for refusal, the EU Evidence Regulation provides no such ground."

Announcing OpenWorker! An open-source agent that doesn't just chat with you, but delivers finished work -- like hand you a polished document, send a slack message, or update a calendar entry.
Ask it to prepare a customer brief, untangle your calendar, draft a report, or triage a Slack alert. It works across your files and everyday tools, produces the deliverable, and checks in before doing anything consequential.
OpenWorker runs on your Mac, with Windows support coming soon. It does not lock you into any one model. Bring your own API key and run it with GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, an open weight model (like Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Inkling), or Ollama to keep your data local. Your data does not leave your machine except through an LLM provider and integrations that you choose.
@rohitcprasad and I are building OpenWorker because AI coworkers are an important way to get work done, and we want there to be an open, privacy-preserving, model-independent option. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Try it out: https://t.co/P0mGnI1o31 (requires your own API key)

This is a good point. If China is so great why do they not face the same scale of illegal migration? Or immigration caravans from all over the world? Is it because 1) nobody wants to go there? 2) they do want to go there but China actually polices the border so they can’t get in? 3) illegal migrants have no economic incentive to go there as there is no welfare support? 4) China’s reputation for human rights abuse - especially of ethnically different people - means illegal migrants are scared of going there? Or maybe there is mass illegal immigration but we don’t hear about it because of Chinese media censorship?
"The debate surrounding medical autonomy is intensifying as desperate patients use federal "Right-to-Try" laws and amateur biohackers bypass traditional regulations to create & access unapproved treatments. A booming gray market has emerged for unproven, compounded peptide shots"
Today we're releasing Laguna S 2.1, our most capable model to date.
It's a 118B total parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 8B activated per token, a context window of up to 1M tokens, and thinking and no-thinking modes.
Capable enough to hold its own against models many times its size. Small enough to run on a single @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark.
Laguna S 2.1 is fully open under OpenMDW-1.1, with weights available today on @huggingface

@yacineMTB@mkratsios47 I do? I intentionally chose whether to make repos public, whether to license my sites creative commons or not..?
I don't understand why a lot of smart people have to pretend "I didn't think hard about licensing" is a slam dunk
actually therapy culture rejects much more than shame. it erases much of the masculine experience by combining real truths about trauma with feminine moral norms, then presenting the package as psychologically neutral.
to see what i mean, imagine a therapist saying: "next time that bully touches you, remember your training and choke him out. restoring agency, repairing status, and publicly demonstrating that you are not a target are important important parts of healing"
this therapist is actually more correct than the one who treats humiliation as a self-esteem internal problem to be managed instead of something to right in the world

To summarize: HuggingFace got autonomously compromised by a model from an American company. HF then tried to use American frontier model(s) to defend themselves, but were blocked by guardrails. HF then had to turn to open source Chinese models to defend themselves from another American company.
