This seriously needs to be repeated again and again. It's not that Mittelstand got greedy. Neither did most other small and medium companies in Europe and US. They gradually became…

I won't discount the possibility of someone getting into this of their own free will out of hand. But I seriously doubt that it's going to remain this way long term. We have recent…

It would be nice if that led to lower prices. All the comparisons I could find are showing Germany near the top for electricity price. https://energyfactbook.com/world/electricity-…

Pretty much. Average household doesn't see this though, not directly. The industry on the other hand does, very much so.

Who is making all those solar cells and batteries? I'll give you a hint, it's not a European country.

I feel like there is an unspoken assumption of long term maintainability when it comes to LLM generated software. We are still very early in this, so I don't want to make assumptio…

Cultural revolution?

Not really. I've found that they often believe that they understand the code. They obviously don't. But they do feel like they do.

I can see lot of potential in this, but I somehow doubt it's going to be used for good.

Sometimes I feel that EU has an unhealthy obsession with safety, at expense of almost everything else. This is one of those times.

Not really. EU is actually trying to decouple. But in many cases there are not any homegrown alternatives to support. There is not a single company in EU that could replace, even a…

I like how balanced their energy mix is. It is very obvious that China is optimizing for capacity and availability. There isn't really a push for clean energy sources for political…

Good luck convincing old building protection pressure groups about it (yes, around here these people are real and have power). Not to mention the bureau actually in charge of landm…

People underestimate how difficult it is to seek buyers for the amount of produce we are talking about here. Farmers are specialists at growing things, not at moving them across gr…

You may be surprised, but there are countries in Europe where gun ownership is relatively wide spread and it just works. Czech Republic for example has it access to guns guaranteed…

Please don't buy into that stereotype. People with aspergers are capable of getting sarcasm. Especially if it's over the top like this.

That is disappointing. One would say that with all the budget and compute, Google would be able to create something that beats methods from 70s. Maybe we are hitting some hard limi…

Pinned to 1.74.9, so not compromised.

This has a lot of potential. Especially if the compiled "code" can be efficiently shared between models of the same architecture. That would easily overshadow LoRa and finetuning i…

He didn't give lectures at Vatican, not even at the Catholic university close to Vatican, and even Catholic University of America didn't have anything to do with it.

Modding is one of the better ways to get into coding. I myself have fond memories restoring cut content to Fallout: New Vegas. It's unfortunate that modding support is relatively r…

You could make similar site about much of Europe to be honest. It seems to me that there is a fundamental disconnect, between what society needs to function and what some societies…
