The German state and media has always been fanatically pro-Russia and pro-China but they don't get criticized for it unlike Hungary. I wonder why.

Electricity infrastructure like substations and power lines already have a proven method of redundancy by building more of it than needed. Also Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure shows that substations and power l

Self-hosting LLMs is expensive at scale. It's cheaper to use VC subsidized model inference like the OpenAI APIs.

As a European I couldn't care less about Tiktok spying on me. US companies and NSA do the same. My problem is the unfair competition of Chinese app devs having access to Western markets when Western app devs don't have the same le

For companies like Anthropic and OpenAI the "software engineer" role is of secondary importance and they extensively use remote engineers for full stack and frontend development. However their strategically important AI researcher

Both Anthropic and OpenAI extensively used (and continue to use) remote workers for fullstack and frontend development. But their core AI researchers and engineers are in the office.

OpenAI-style JSON mode and function calling rapidly became the industry standard way of doing it. It will probably also happen for this feature.

These kind of incentives have definitely helped countering the declining birthrates in Denmark and Sweden. I wonder why people like Elon Musk and JD Vance often bring up Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia as examples of countries

I have seen a lot of criticism of async Rust. In C# most APIs expose both sync and async versions of the same methods. Why is that not more common in Rust? Sure some 3rd party C# libraries probably do some ugly sync to async conversion inte

We seriously need a service that is as cheap and fast as the OpenAI/Anthropic APIs but allow us to run the various community-fine-tuned versions of Mixtral and LLaMA 3 that are not/less censored.

>Windows 3.1 API I am always surprised to learn how big Microsoft was by the Windows 3.x era. Bill Gates was already the richest person in the world before the release of Windows 95. Maybe it's because I am young and I assumed the

This is why Western drone startups keep failing against DJI. The consumer and prosumer drone market do not want AI-driven flying autonomous robots. They want high-quality cameras that can fly. When the Western drone startups fail at that th

It's not even Russian talking points. The version of Russia that American right-wingers love doesn't exist in real-life nor in Russian propaganda. Putin's speeches call Ukraine a fake nation that shouldn't exist. The bul
