Maybe that's not as unlikely a prospect (or as bad an idea) as you might think. Do people know if there are relatively small idea-exploration pots of money (VC, angels, subsidies, …

There's potentially a virtuous circle of increased EU tech investment and increased EU tech provider adoption but given the risk aversion sclerosis that affects the european privat…

Pretty sure there would be a number of EU states who'd happily pump some money in if the EU were to mandate the ECB to (incentivise intermediary banks to) buy their corresponding l…

Do they dupe VC into enormous datacentre and capacity build-out investment? Why yes, actual money going to the AI hypester pick-axe vendors (and early equity dumpers) in that sense…

For a critical thinking exam, you should be able to show that you can decipher political gobledegook, identify lies and platitiudes, strawman arguments etc(there would be much less…

The diagnosis I largely agree with. To the point I no longer identify as a (small-d) democrat, it is the tyrrany of the mob's choice of (usually reprehensible) representative, who …

Apriel-H1-15b-Thinker-SFT uses incremental distillation from Apriel-Nemotron-15B-Thinker, selectively replacing less critical attention layers with linear Mamba blocks to reduce co…

That's exactly the point (ie just prior to distribution) where a simple sanity check should have been run and the config replacement/update pipeline stopped on failure. When they i…

Come come now. Elon has built Tesla on something closer to $38bn of taxpayer largesse/avoidance according to the Washington Post.0 I doubt many people would fail to create public e…

Don't need to. Would it be a big deal to hop on a plane to e.g. Switzerland once a year?

No. It would be run by a US affiliate using the Microsoft brand, paying royalties to a global company in some other jurisdiction.

MS could always refocus themselves as a global company (in the legal rather than marketing-only sense), and move their HQ out of the US, then there could be no Trump tantrums affec…

Its pretty decent. Decent enough in fact that I can run a Windows 11 ARM install on vmware Fusion on my macbook m4 pro, and it will happily run win arm and x86 binaries (via builti…

I decided a Macbook pro M4 pro was the right option for me, 48gb/36 accessible to the gpus with very decent tokens/s throughput for (increasingly impressive) offline midrange open …

The Landrover side is clearly doing work, even if the Jaguar part was doing poorly before this. There are a lot of suppliers also that end up having to furlough if their main clien…

Forgive my relative inexperience as a newcomer to C#, but doesn't it already provide things like stackalloc, Span and unsafe for these things?

> It looks like a process model; isolation between programs with a system for inter-process communication, and running within a single process's memory. Which is better handled by …

I'm divided, a lot of people internally and from suppliers depend on them for work. Equally they are majority owned by an indian company (Tata) now that also mandated they use thei…

Two things about backdoor layoffs. Mostly its about who. When its corporate dictat, those most likely to leave are those with other options, ie the best talent. So sure a business …

The .NET ecosystem itself has another mature actor-based framework in Akka.NET, being probably closest to the Erlang/Elixir supervisor style, in C#/F#.

Yup that's a variation of the general 'deliver a hugely inefficient solution first, then iterate' tactic. Keeps multiple people employed much longer than a little (debatably) "prem…

Maybe the problem is the MBAs and letting them run your company? Surely AI could do a better job than most MBAs? The knowledge requirement is lower, the reasoning and analytical ca…

Major Cloud providers would still need to invest eu-customer money in providing eu IT services, this is more a legal, security and privacy isolation for big tech players in order t…
