ubuntu is so popular when you stop using it you get to write a blog post

Believe it or not this is part of it, can't make money to pay down debt if no one wants your stuff and you're years behind everyone else

Yep and it looks like China is well on its way to being independent of the USA in the AI arms race, I just saw they are pushing out their own GPU models:

Chinese GPU Manufacturers Push Out Support For Running DeepSeek’s AI Models On Local Systems, Intensifying the AI Race

https://wccftech.com/chinese-gpu-manufacturers-push-out-support-for-running-deepseek-ai-models-on-local-systems/

Gotta say between them going all out on renewables reducing their reliance on oil and gas and all in on EV's and tech, it really feels like China has just stolen all of the EU's ideas and is straight up beating them over the head with it :(

And about the command creation, it is laughable to waste this kind of energy on this easy of a task.

You better watch out or I'll generate another image

sounds like you’re overthinking

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

seems like a nationality thing? or at least he was implying french and italian people wouldn’t “because it’s german”

"Why? For a very simple reason. We, the Italians, will never pay with a French credit card. The French will never pay with a German credit card. The Germans will never pay with a Spanish credit card. And so the fact that we are accepting that American cards are the only credit card we use, is the effect of fragmentation."

I just don’t quite understand how it’s 2025 and these standards are just finally on the verge of potentially being started

Looks like it is comparable to the US Stargate announcement, the money is coming from private companies and going into private investment, which is amazing, I wish France24 had been a bit more specific:

Meanwhile, the French financing will include commitments from the United Arab Emirates, American and Canadian investments funds and French companies like telecommunications firms Iliad and Orange, and aerospace and defense group Thales

A few days before France’s AI Action Summit, which kicked off on Monday, the UAE said it would invest between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros in the construction of a one-gigawatt AI data center in France as part of a campus focused on the technology’s development.

European companies investing in Europe AND into leading edge technologies? Crazy

An Airbus style company would be awesome, I'm absolutely certain after Trumps latest round of insanity there's a lot of countries that would like some supply chain diversity with EU chips to ensure China or USA can't rattle them too hard

Yes it would take a lot of effort, the EU certainly has the money but seems content at the moment to throw it at America

The fabs you see on US or EU soils are few generation behind

Looks like Arizona already producing 4nm so not too far:

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/tsmcs-arizona-fab-21-is-already-making-4nm-chips-yield-and-quality-reportedly-on-par-with-taiwan-fabs

The first Fab 21 phase 1 module will officially start mass production using 4nm and 5nm-class process technologies. The next Fab 21 phase 2 is expected to follow in 2028 with 3nm-class process technologies. By the decade's end, TSMC expects to build its Fab 21 phase 3, which will produce chips on 2nm-class and 1.6nm-class nodes and their variations with backside power delivery.

But outside of TSMC it looks like just Samsung competing in the space, as you said Intel miles behind and AMD sold off all it's fabs

You should be less influenced by trends but more by real results.

I just used it 30 seconds ago for comparing export data: https://aussie.zone/post/17570399/14730920

and last night for French language practice with https://morpheem.org/fr-en

and https://chat.mistral.ai/chat earlier today for putting together a bunch of keyalgo's and macs into an SSH command to get into my router

and https://lmstudio.ai/ with any one of these for javascript practice:

 

From a Reddit user:

I briefly went through the documents about this and the entire thing is mostly about a push towards a single capital market. The most notable points are:

  • Launch of an EU-wide, auto-enrollment to Long Term Savings Product, which looks like a pension fund/savings account where citizens of the EU will be able to invest, leveraging tax incentives

  • Harmonisation of EU Member States' regulatory frameworks

  • Implementation of an EU-wide capital market access-point for small and medium enterprises so that they can have access to capital from the entire EU

  • Rollback of some red tape around the scrutinisation frameworks

  • Creation of European Green Guarantee - an EU-wide scheme of guarantees for banks to mitigate lending risks to help green investment projects and companies get liquidity

  • Introduction of a new scheme combining the European Long Term Fund with tax incentives

  • Pan-European payment infrastructure with the Digital Euro

  • Widespread availability of supranational AAA EU Bonds to increase flexibility of the European Central Bank

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1ilmxfn/comment/mbwsdbj/

But the article is worth reading

"It's not against the American credit card, it's about the fact that we are not able in Europe to build up European credit cards," Letta said, estimating that some $300 billion a year in European savings are going into the US financial market, to a US company.

This annoys me even in Australia

Sorry I keep posting about Mistral but if you check: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat

I duno how they do it but some of these answers are lightning fast:

Fast inference dramatically improves the user experience for chat and code generation – two of the most popular use-cases today. In the example above, Mistral Le Chat completes a coding prompt instantly while other popular AI assistants take up to 50 seconds to finish.

For this initial release, Cerebras will focus on serving text-based queries for the Mistral Large 2 model. When using Cerebras Inference, Le Chat will display a “Flash Answer ⚡” icon on the bottom left of the chat interface.

Germans call in sick more than 20 days per year on average, much more than workers in other EU countries.

Without the increase in sick days, the German economy could have grown by around 0.5% in 2023, instead of retracting by 0.3%, a study by pharma industry association vfa estimated last year.
