Norway is one of the countries with the highest GDP per capita. I think this puts the norwegian consumer in a better position to by an EV even if it costs more than a comparable ICE vehicle. Not sure that is true all over the world.

I think that's oversimplifying things. The acquired podcast has covered Nvidia's different growth periods in depth. I highly recommend anyone interested to give them a listen: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/

AV1 is parallelizable at the thread and SIMD level. Other formats too I’m sure but I’ve only looked at AV1.

AFAIK the cost of producing semiconductors on a leading-edge node are so high you are forced to aggegate demand across seveal chip designers. Intel offering foundry services is evidence of this dynamic. Edit: grammar.

Microsoft, Apple, and Google also have more resources at their disposal yet Linux is doing just fine (to put it mildly). As long as Mistral delivers something unique, they'll be fine.

This. You even need to self-host if you want to test code that uses AVX512 outside of an emulator since the default runners do not support that. Same if you want to test aarch64-specific code paths on Linux, Windows, or macOS.

A startup doesn't have the same target of its back as a large publicly traded corporation. It also has a different culture and is expected to take risks that non-startups aren't. In other words, not an apples-to-apples comparison.

we all play by the rules of physics and nowhere is that more evident than in leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing ;-)

Thanks for backing up your point with a link. I agree that Galileo is more accurate than the much older GPS system. On the other hand, the GPS system became fully operational in 1995 as far as I understand, and the Galileo system is yet to

I believe it is well understood by now that users tend to ignore security warnings; anyone serious about computer security will not accept this as a solution. We don't even apply security-critical patches reliably.

A reasonable concern here is that power is transfered from subject matter experts to technocrats with a poor track record of making technical decisions. Some recent examples of EU tech debacles include Quaero, Galileo, Gaia-X, Ariane 6.

This is a logic error whereas Rust delivers a way to drive down memory errors (assuming parent comment isn't mocking Rust advocates).

Lots or reporting requirements only take effect once a firm reaches a certain size. This makes a lot of sense given that tiny firms (say less than 10 employees) may not have formalized wage scales, in-house administrative staff, and have a
