"insulin resistance trends" - whaaaaat? how would they do THAT? That would be huge for so many people, including diabetics, obese people or women with PCOS (PCOS alone affects more than 10% of women of reproductive age) Is that me

"Early 2025: First enterprise contracts secured" "Today: Powering Fortune 500 engineering teams" - I guess that is all that is publicly available for now.

Built what you want to use yourself. AI for engineering and physics sounds like the perfect product a company like ASML (Mistral investor) could use.

Yes and they are open about it. That is why they are building their own data centers in Paris and other places.

What does a Physics prof at Berkely earn these days? In Germany it would be around 10K€/month (lets ignore all tax etc stuff, just ballpark figure)

The challenge with CO2 monitoring is the sensor, not the electronics. Sensor accurracy and service life are key information. It is easy to create a low power chemical CO2 sensors with a service life of a few weeks/months. Obviously not

"it is the exact contract in force for May 2025." - No, it is not. That is your mistaken thinking. In 2025, TV-L 13 starts with 4629€ a month and goes up to 6580€ (= 78K€+), depending on experience. Indded, the raw tax difference

You are good with insulting, but weak on math. Even with your 2022 data/source, I get a salary that is >=Harvard. And if you look at the latest 2025 salaries the difference is even more striking and in favor of Germany: https:&#x2F

So you are saying the average German Postdoc salary is NOT >= Harvard salary? What numbers do you have in mind?

We have 2025, not 2022. So it is certainly not current. Inflation is a thing! ;-) My data (see above) is from the same source ("Tarifvertrag"), but from 2024. I am really surprised that PhD/PostDocs earning more (or at least

Did you actually read the page you linked??? It supports exactly what I wrote. Just keep in mind that the latest salary data there is for 2022. The postdoc salaries I quoted are for 2024, of course. Source: https://www.research-i

You think of CEO salaries. PhD students and PostDocs earn more (or at least equal) in most of Europe compared to even the US top universities. Harvard Postdoc salary: $67,600 Germany Postdoc salary: ~$80,000 plus benefits like health insura

500 US$ = 442 euro. Does that include the higher doses? Than it is actually cheaper than in Europe. 15mg Zepbound is 489 euro in Germany for a month (4 shots).

In my main job we provide SaaS services. We get more and more requests for "EU located" services. A new trend I see is that some customers even rule out using EU located servers that are owned/run by US companies (such as the

Honest question: What major German company is in a 20,000 pop town in the middle of nowhere? And if so, would that mean life in such a town is worse than in a comparable small town somewhere in the middle of the US? Indeed, salaries are bet

I disagree. The main downside of moving to Germany - or any other EU country except Ireland - is the need to learn German (or French etc) if you want to fully participate in daily life. Other than that, the quality of life is better compare

The German car industry is completely outdated and very, VERY conservative. This includes Bosch. I would never work there. The VW board even fired the CEO (Herbert Diess) because he wanted to make too many changes at once. The German car in

Stable Diffusion main author is now doing BlackforestLabs, valued 1B? Biontech is swimming in money and using it to foster its main goal, finding better cures for cancer. My main point was that I can think of only two success stories.

Important new developments in Germany in the last 10 years? Interesting question, I can think of two right now: - Stable Diffusion at Heidelberg University - Biontech/Pfizer covid vaccine in Mainz - What else?

Dubbing in Germany is horrible and pervasive. Even in the news and interviews. Subtitles are cheaper and better. As others have said, it is better to expose kids (that can read) to the original language plus subtitles. So in other words, yo

From the article: The development comes much sooner than most industry observers expected to see this technology. The Swedish battery maker emphasized that the cells will be free from lithium, nickel, cobalt and graphite.

That is not correct. Once the energy cost goes below a certain level, it simply is no longer important compared to other factors like human resources, tax, infrastructure,... . Example: If the kWh/h costs 2 cent in Germany and only 1 c

For Europe (the continent and the EU) it totally makes sense to have a common grid - as it has already now. Nuclear in France, solar in Spain,... this diversity has served Europe well in the last decades. But you are right. Those who are ag

Germany bets its future on solar, wind and H2. That will be interesting experiment. Who will have the lower cost/kWh in the end?

Visually a very nice UI! From a feature point of view, is there a difference to existing open-source web automation tools like selenium ide or ui.vision?
