Imagine the fund were distributing to several teams, but let's say Z.ai and Deepseek were european and among them. What percentage would be allocated to Mistral in that case? OK, the other two aren't, but in the same vein, should

Julia also has some of the nicest GPU abstraction frameworks of any language, achieving pretty low friction portability over a decent subset of CUDA, Metal, ROCm and CPU. KernelAbstractions.jl, AcceleratedKernels.jl etc.

Really? None other than Airbus chose Scaleway (a personal favourite) for their migration of core services off AWS. There's also Hetzner, OVH, NetCUPs etc. I'd agree they're not AWS/GCP scale (yet) but as more big names m

Most european banking entities already have and use SEPA.

Exposed yes, but not fatally if you're working with alternative de-dollarised banking systems in the eurozone, for example.

By using another US hyperscaler for your backup platform you're still unhedged against US governance failure/breakdown.

This point cannot be overstated - famously the Torygraph for its stance should always have been treated with a degree of scepticism under former editors but such journalistic standards it ever had are now long and completely defunct. A rubb

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, startup and govt programmes) available in Europe/U

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 private investment community this does need to be government

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 long dated sovereign debt cheaply to fund it.

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, absolutely yes it does. Is Big AI on track to pay that bac

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 of it anyway as in a restricted franchise very few with vot

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 will have lied and pacted with corrupt elites to obtain

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 computational complexity while preserving reasoning quality.

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 introduced the 200 entry limit memory optimised fea

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 entities with healthy casino ponzi stock trading if the

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 affecting other countries, the worse that could happen would be s

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 builtin MS x86 emulation) decently fast and without complaint (we&

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 LLM inference and huge battery life. Nothing in th

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 client shuts down. And there are second order effects on local ec

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

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 their useless in-group IT outsourcer whose secrity appears

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#.
