It's 1 or 2 cents per task though on all but the lowest plans.

The fees come from the bank and are the same on stripe so, that part is just how the game works. I see the 'not fighting disputes' from both sides; as a vendor it sucks, but for paddle fighting them is a loose loose game, it would

What are your issues with paddle? I found them perfectly fine fwiw. Why is this related to thresholds if you're using a merchant of record? You can't do this on country codes, if you're going to do this I would suggest whitel

There are people like paddle who handle all this for you, but it's not free. Before I've just decided to restrict purchases to jurisdictions I can easily handle which isn't great but..

Civo.io have had both for many years and for Katapult.io these are coming in April. Both are british companies, if you need referring feel free to shout.

For what it's worth we have to stand up a UK infrastructure for UK customers and EU for EU customers, it really sucks.

That's a shame. There are many UK cloud providers, who would work - what do you need, I'd be happy to make suggestions?

The modern computer was invented in Britain, we have ARM, designers of the most popular chip architecture in the world and make things like Raspberry Pi. We've got the ability but not the ambition. The attitude of "we'll desi

I'd love to use this, but notice it's hosted in the EU, is there any way of ensuring we go through UK servers only?

Canada and the US are very different places, I'm fairly astonished to hear that to be honest. Canada may as well be British, except Quebec who are somehow more french than the french themselves.

To the extent it's similar to any other culture I agree, the closest feels like brazil (to me) - but it's also very distinct, it's very much it's own thing in a way that few other cultures are (I would probably count the

"Sovereign cloud" is AWS/G-Cloud/Oracle/Azure, but promising to put your data in London if you're the British state, or Frankfurt if you're German and so on... It's a cute little badge that does very

I see the point but you really care about - Who Owns it (Japan) - Where is it headquartered (Cambridge) - Where is most of the IP produced (Cambridge mostly, but the remainder is in the US) So if we care about being fast, surely the most ex

I find mojeek.com better than either of those, but slightly worse than google and on par-ish with bing (bing has further "reach", but worse quality).

by matt-p 2y ago
I agree. Unfortunate because a https://www.mojeek.com/ and ecosia partnership would be genuinely fruitful.

It is what it is, IF the USA is now europe's enemy, and aligning with Russia (cutting off ukraine from satellites, disabling F16s, hummilaiting the leader in press confrences, calling him a dictator in the press and JD calling us &quot

ARM China is a sales office. Not the same thing at all. If a design is made in a British office of a British company, 'by hook or by crook' the state can gain access to it. That's the hard, perhaps slightly uncomfortable trut

Because almost all software runs on arm today, almost none (comparatively) runs on risc-v. Or perhaps because ARM is miles ahead of risc-v today.

So what? What's the scenario here? The USA pressures Japan to stop selling licences to European Fabs? Why, what would push them to such extremes? Fabs can still produce those current designs (they just don't have licences). Now Eu

Because if the US are aligning with Russia and shunning Europe, then it makes sense for Europe to partner with China and break them off from Russia/USA

Just because SoftBank own it now, do you really think if Europe went to it and said "can we buy half, if so we'll buy $X amount of licences otherwise we'll start (effectively) a serious competitor in risc-v.

So what, there's nothing done in America that can't be brought back to Cambridge or London just as easily as we offshored it. If Europe is making a serious investment then it has more than enough power to say "you'll get

So what? Japan are Europe's enemy now? Could the EU not just buy 25% or something?

If Ukraine is corrupt why didn't Putin just bribe them?

ARM is a British company. We are in Europe.

Surely arm is a better choice?

The framework series are about as good as you get in non apple land in my experience. Still MacBook is a better product for most use cases.

That config would also use about 10x the power, and you still wouldn't be able to run a model over 32GB whereas the studio can easily cope with 70B llama and plenty of space to grow. I think it actually is perfect for local inference i

Not really like for like. The pricing isn't as insane as you'd think, 96 to 256GB is 1500 which isn't 'cheap' but, it could be worse. All in 5,500 gets you a ultra with 256GB memory, 28 cores, 60 GPU cores, 10Gb net
