But does Mistral stand a chance to make a state of the art model? People will always want to use the best model. Like they use the best search engine. How would Mistral catch up with US companies, who spend tens of billions of dollars per y

The article is about email. Europe could probably bring email "in-house". Large players like IONOS and OVH might help do it at scale. But what about AI? Soon all of our email will be pre-handled by our OpenAI assistant while we wi

I wonder if one could build this in HTML, so there is no need to install anything. On both iOS and Android, HTML can play videos and mp3s while the screen is turned off. So maybe it is possible?

In my experience, showing a project around (friends and social media) is enough for Google to slowly pick it up and, over time, show it to more and more people to whom it is relevant. For that to work, it is important to think about what pe

Seeing 20 years into the future is quite possible in some aspects. I remember how me and my friends discovered email in 1999 and were like "Yay, in the future we'll all do this instead of sending letters!". And it took about

I am thinking about the future here. I don't think there will be much carbon intensive energy creation in a few decades from now. It does not make sense economically.

Building and running a nuclear reactor involves a lot of physical activity. And if the past is an indicator, we always move from physical activity to the flow of electrons. The discussion about nuclear vs solar remind me of the discussions

Existing rides will be done more efficiently but since rides are so much cheaper without a driver, much more rides will be done. A car driving from A to B will cost less than 50% of the current price. Which will unlock a huge amount of new

Most of the sunlight that hits a roof is already turned into heat. Whether you use that for calculations or not does not make a difference. Not sure about the exact numbers, but I guess that at the moment normal roofs and solar panels absor

The brain uses 20% of the human body's energy. I wouldn't be surprised if mankind will evolve similar to an organism and use 20% of all energy it produces on AI. Which is about 10x of what we use for software at the moment. But th

Python → Scientific computing and machine learning. PHP → Web backend. I wouldn't be surprised if more web backend code is written in Python than in PHP these days. Not sure how to figure it out. Google trends maybe?

What I witness is that many people pick a random model and expect a prompt they wrote in 10 seconds to replace an hour of coding. And then are disappointed and go back to coding manually. For me, the magic of LLMs is that I already get an h

I don't think so. The price of a bus is roughly 10x the price of a car. The average number of passengers in a car is about 1.5. So the average number of passengers in the bus has to be over 15 to be more cost-effective than a car. 15 p

I would expect the price per seat to be lower in a larger vehicle than in a smaller one. Also the amount of space per passanger the vehicle takes up on the street is smaller for a larger vehicle.

I wonder when buses in public transport will become autonomous. It seems like a much easier thing to do. They drive on fixed routes and do not have to handle complicated parking situations. Here in Germany, Volkswagen is working on autonomo

Have you seen the "compare" button in the popup when you hover an item? It lets you highlight multiple items and compare them later.

Yes, product selection is not perfect yet. I originally set out to display the 300 most relevant products in each category. It is probably better to have a larger set of products in each category. I will tackle that. Not sure yet how hard &
