I think you meant to write Greenland.

Sorry, I don't agree with that. The amount of corruption in the USA right now is simply off the scale.

The harder problem here is that any real EU sovereign platform would have to come with ironclad guarantees that it isn't going to be directly or indirectly sold to a US party. And when enough customers move that marketshare is affected

Knowing what to write in the first place is the hard for me, and always has been.

You can strike at least four of those.

I hope Airbus is large enough for you? https://thenextweb.com/news/airbus-scaleway-aws-sovereign-cl... And many others besides, pretty much every company I've looked at in the last year is either acutely aware of

Well, for sure they can pressure them but I highly doubt Hetzner would break the law in Europe to satisfy the US government, they are a lot more to lose here than there. I realize that that is not proof.

That's true but the EU still has a - mostly - functioning legal system. See 'Schrems' and other lawsuits that came out as they should have.

EU data regions are a reflexive action by companies that try to hold on to their EU customers (and more and more are leaving, surprisingly the larger ones seem to be leading here). Realize that as long as you are still hosted on US owned in

Almost every service provider in the AI field is subsidizing their token cost to some degree, they're all shooting for marketshare and lock-in (and they're not really achieving the latter).

They can do the same thing in the US. What are you going to do, sue OpenAI or Anthropic?

This is the best model to come out since the beginning of open weights models for those working with classified data that you can not use hosted services for. I've been using it pretty much day and night since it landed and I'm no

Whatever you are making this year as SWE you'll be making less next year if the current trend in improvement of AI coding aids is going to be sustained. Think about it : programmers used to derive a lot of their value from the fact tha

That's exactly what they did here, I don't see the difference.

License policies are made by lawyers not by programmers. And their competition will be in the exact same boat (different lawyers though). AGPL is so toxic that it tends to be checked for during M&A processes so even if the current batch

Fighting China would be over before it began. They'd stop shipping stuff to the USA and that would be that. The degree to which the USA depends on China should not be underestimated when talking loosely about starting major wars. That&

Ahh, but you missed the continuation, where they get to the heart of the matter: money. "Excuse me, We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!" DT: Might I make an observation at this point? MT: You keep out of this

This is without a doubt slop. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jay_wevolver Is the account that used to heavily push this domain, I'm surprised it hasn't made it to the banlist.

Bubble memory, memristors, there are a lot of technologies that seemed promising but somehow never made it to mass production. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_memory fascinating stuff, even today.

Keep trying :) Rooting for you. Though with the current pace of innovation in this particular field it is really a tough time.

Presumably, yes. It essentially boils down to a high capacity flash drive that is just used to store weights with a fast path to the GPU. It's interesting because I had this same idea last week and had been doing some tests and then th
