I am not sure in what neighbourhood you live, but in my village there are hundreds of businesses with strong morals. From the local baker, to the electrician and the construction c…

I giggled when reading "Educating the mind without the heart is no education at all". Hehe that must have failed when he taught Alexander the "Great" who would start wars, raze cit…

Yes for sure! But we joined when all architecture was already finished, which was many years ago. With a future-neighbour we are looking into porting it all into unreal. Maybe that…

We're building a small village of 23 households. During Easter I gave the plan to Opus and asked it to make a threejs rendition. After five or six prompts he really had it down. Th…

Yes of course but the Nvidia CEO is hardly an unbiased observer. He wants to sell to China and is looking for arguments to build his case. Similarly to how Dario isn't an unbiased …

As much as I sympathize with the message I don't like the way it was brought. I cannot help but feel that this "indignation journalism" hurts more than does good. Everybody knows t…

I don't want to come across as the China pisser because most big countries do scumbag things of have done them ( cough colonialism). But some more of China's vices that are out of …

Poland is doing fine. Southern Europe is doing very well. Greece is growing superfast. Switzerland is still one the richest and successful countries in the world. Denmark is amazin…

Why would Anthropic margin's be negative? Inference is practically free for them, so what costs do they have for an additional subscription?

Does it make sense to talk about "the government" in this age? It probably misguides us more than informs us. I've always felt the perception of government at the time is closer to…

"Distinguishing hype from reality is not easy. But recent developments mean that ambitious promises could be fulfilled. " Just like AI is changing the world before our eyes, this m…

Yes. It is both a little funny, and true. Often departments don't even want to start a software project if it is being perceived as "legal and IT are going to have all kinds of opi…

Matt Lakeman writes in one of his blogs that wherever he goes, people tend to love the USA. Except in Europe where he faces a constant storm of criticism. And that was before Febru…

Of course. But then again, it was the US that threatened the EU with military invasion, so if you want your service to continue uninterrupted, it helps being prepared.

Amazing to read through the list. I had no idea about Orkut. To kill an application with 300m users seems insane. Anyone here knows why MSN was ever killed? The brand was so strong…

True. And yet, as an organization when you buy OP's training, you don't buy the material. You buy the feeling that you make your organization becomes more productive. You buy the s…

Agreed. Actually - maybe no? Maybe the hourly wage is the problem. It's been too low for too long so there was no pressure to innovate. Denmark and Switzerland are big manufacturer…

I am hearing rumors that B2B sales is rebounding back to more in-person meetings. Cold emails don't work anymore. I've heard similar tales of current teens early-twenties that ther…

Sure those are impressive. But they weren't sudden. It was already there before I was born and slowly evolved. If I look at the most useful technologies around me, then Google Maps…

I was born in 1989. The most impressive sudden technological advance I have experienced have been LLMs. This video is a good candidate for second place. I am mindblown... That they…

Not to take away from the seriousness of the moment, but I feel compelled to share my feeling shere: My inner teenager was hoping to see TeamSpeak and Ventrilo listed just to honor…

Am I the only one that is simply scared of running your own cloud? What happens if your administrator credentials get leaked? At least with Azure I can phone microsoft and initiate…

Urgh... Elon is famous not for things he's done, but for saying things he is going to do. Do people still buy in to this? Elon Musk always promises things far in the future but doe…

This. Phillips and ASML share the same regional and cultural heritage. Many ASML employees will have first-hand experience of Phillips' downfall. They certainly do not want to repe…

Not strange at all! If you want to go by car you must build even more tunnels. Mountainous regions favor rail just like urban areas do. Furthermore, 19th century investments into r…
