I use Claude with Kiro at work and at home Mistral stuff with pro subscription for coding and research. I don't see a fundamental difference between them in results, at least with …

It was delightful to see the Dzhanibekov effect in the "gyroscopic torque" part of the video.

And yet, the ESMC Dresden fab is getting built. And now there's a Chips Act 2.0.

It's not universally so, but is more like that in some parts of Europe. It's mostly a branding issue, in my opinion.

No, EU is not the root of the problem, whatever the problem is. For example, countries are stronger, more resilient and business is more effective together than everyone trying to …

Doesn't Proton Unlimited have both?

Norway is an anomaly. Examples for Europe, 2025 vs. 2024: Sweden: -68% Belgium: -53% Germany: -48% France: -37% Switzerland: -28% Portugal: -22% Italy: -18% Edit: I fail list forma…

If one were to simply assume that yes, electrons are in fact photons in a toroidal configuration... are there special "hacks" enabled by this configuration which could be tested?

Yes, of course I need to buy new blades... What I don't have to do is to buy a new sharpener because the old one made of "stainless steel" rusted. Yes, Chinese companies CAN do hig…

Cost is not everything. Quality matters a lot. If things are of higher quality, higher cost is acceptable to many. As a trivial example, talking about a ca. 5 EUR purchase here, I …

Which products are you talking about...? Duralex is not really expensive at all. For example, Duralex drinking glass Le Picardie (as in the article), transparent, 36 cl, 18.90 EUR …

"Draft changes would create new exceptions for AI companies that would allow them to legally process special categories of data (like a person’s religious or political beliefs, eth…

Exactly. In the current pension system (at least the ones in the Nordics), the new generation pays for the old generation. This mechanism is broken, as it expects (as you pointed o…

There is an interesting book about Viking trade connections, "River Kings" by Cat Jarman.

Don't worry, at least I didn't think it was mean or anything. The "joke" was that implementing bitbanged I3C on an ESP32 (!) sounds absurd. Like doing raytracing on C64. (Of course…

No I3C though :)

I agree about not worrying about it, but one should be aware -- awareness about something is not equal to worrying about something. Awareness of something is the first step in adap…

Why only code? Anything funded with public money should have same proportion going back to the public (the organization running the area which funded it). For example: a 100% EU mo…

I've not seen other Moomin TV-series than the one made in Japan, so I can't comment on the others. The Japanese-made TV-series was probably watched by almost all children of a cert…

Is this exactly 1.1 degrees? Or is it 1.09955742876? What I mean -- did they round up, is there some connection to universal constants? Edit: I don't understand where the 1.1 degre…

My first reaction was to just not bother when the large video appeared. Usually I hate those, so I almost closed the tab, but then I let the video roll. And I'm glad I did, it's gr…

As I watched the video I got an idea. Could this somehow be repurposed such that the points would be "check points" for a generative texture algorithm, with zoom level somehow take…

What about hurricanes? Extreme weather events which spew a lot of water, wind and debris around might potentially do a lot of damage to a data center.

Yes, but their say will only work as long as both parties feel that the other party honors their contractual obligations. Hearing the inaugural speech of President Trump, I feel th…

Hardly having the cake and eating it. Ideas of a pan-European army were always shot down by either NATO or UK. I mean, it's hard to develop an own army if you are not allowed to by…
