To be honest, I have a hard time noticing differences with Claude (in Kiro) and Mistral Vibe, at least with what I use them for. They simply feel like talking to the exact same thing.

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 what I use them for. The cost is lower too, but it is n

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 do it alone. And of course the EU is not perfect and there i

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 formatting

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 high quality products. Of course they can, they&

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 bought a German-made pencil sharpener (Möbius-Ruppert nr. 06

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 for 6-pack. That is 3.15 EUR per glass . At that price the

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 out) an ever-growing population, which is of course unrealist

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 some crazy folks have done it though)

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 adapting. One can adapt beforehand, or, one can adapt afterwards

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 money funded innovation should be free for everyone to use wit

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 certain age group in Finland. Of course not all childr

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 degrees comes from. Why is it 1.1 and not something else...

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 great! The design is pretty clever, I was expecting

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 taken into account (distance of dots maybe)? Then one

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 that some treaties and contracts might soon be worth less than

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 people who are part of the decision process.

I think already at this point, that there will be several more nuclear states in Europe (inside EU) in the not so distant future. Many of the countries already have certified delivery platforms, or have ordered them. Of course, we're t

This was very helpful, thanks! It's often the very domain-specific language that hides (at least on the surface) rather simple concepts. I do appreciate how confusing software engineering terminology must seem to outsiders... zombies,

Well, yes, but it is not some PR-influenced look good and like us on Facebook -thing for any of the Nordic nations. It's about being prepared for all kinds of eventualities, whatever they might be. For example, last year and early this
