Chips developed and controlled by the US. Taiwan is controlled by the US. Europe has no leverage. Europe does not exist in AI. That is the sad truth, no need to try to pick hole in reality... It's quite healthy to listen to EU noise l

Yes, they run US models on US hardware and there is no alternative. In principle there are indeed Chinese models, but in practice there are also political considerations. Europe pretty much does not exist in AI and the political considerati

The EU has become ever more dependent on the US in the past few years, notably on energy and AI. There is a lot of noise on what you mention but the reality is rather different.

I think this is also another occurrence of the "innovato's dilemma" applied to the car industry. None of the incumbents have negotiated the shift to EV very well with similar patterns as we've seen previously in other in

Are you suggesting that the US plan to bomb the EU by comparing them to Russia's invasion of Ukraine? We really need to stick to calm and reasoned commentaries instead of what seems to be a contest of outrageous claims like in many med

This was bluster by Von Der Leyen and apparently even EU countries are not happy with her dropping this "associate member" bombshell [1]. The term does not mean anything, either. So I guess the US are responding woth more bluster.

Not Canada, it is Von Der Leyen who took upon herself to use this " associate member " term and even EU countries are surprised not least because of basically whhat I explained earlier [1]. [1] https://www.politico.eu&#

Good point regarding Cyprus but considering the political and social situation in Europe I think that any loosening of the rules is a non-starter.

Yes, unanimous agreement is required once a country has applied, as part of the process of accepting the application. However Article 49 of the European Union states: " Any European State which respects the values referred to in Articl

I'll go back to my first comment above: What is an "associate member"? We don't know because it's a concept that does not exist but the very name suggests something stronger and tighter than anything that exists wit

It's the law and it should be very strictly enforced because otherwise it'd open the door for the Middle East and North Africa... But I don't think Canada would want to join the EU, it's anti-Trump bluster.

In very heavy traffic conditions I suspect that roundabouts can gridlock all directions in a worse way than a standard intersection with a yellow box because everyone tries to enter the roundabout then they get stuck in it, and then the who

It has to be like Norway/Switzerland/Iceland or more to get any free movements of goods and services. Level of access goes hand in hand with integration in term of regulation, etc. " Associate member " actually sounds li

Space is too important and strategic for it to remain free of weapons and military presence.

France's public finances are really going badly to the point that mentions of looming financial crisis are becoming more frequent and serious. The country has high debts and high deficit but also high taxation, however successive gover

Yes they can because that's very typical of the power of farming unions in France. Various subsidies happen all the time and 1 billion is not that much in the sea of government spending on about anything and everything they have... tha

5G is a big change from 4G including on the radio side (although overall the physical layer is indeed quite sinilar). The thing is that many new 5G features have not gained tractions in the marketplace, or are happening very slowly because

Gs may be used and possibly overused in marketing but that doesn't mean that they are meaningless terms and "mostly marketing" as per my previous comment. Again, the terms are heavily used in the industry in technical and eng

This has always been the case. TODOs are a bad practice and often outright banned in codebases.

No it is not. 2G->3G->4G->5G refer to real changes in technology and system architecture, as detailed in the Wikipedia page you linked to. 3GPP releases are more fine-grained than that. E.g. rel. 99 introduced 3G/WCDMA, rel. 8

Well the US benefit massively because of their investments in shale gas. Meanwhile the Europe suffers massively and they banned shale gas although they could exploit vast resources. Sure, the environment, etc but Europe hasn't invested

Storming the LegCo and install a British HK flag [1] has to be one of the most idiotic and self-harmful thing one could do. That really made me wonder what those guys were thinking. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-

This is a Western view of things. Hongkong was built by the British and a symbol of foreign aggression and imperialism for all Chinese (including in Taiwan actually, at least if you are more on the KMT side). It was never "free" u

My experience with gardening is that you also get bitten and stung all the time by a range of bugs and plants so you get resistance training, too ;) British false widow spiders have nothing on me at this point...

It seems to me that this is standard practice in the industry (solar panels/batteries, HVAC, boilers, heat pumps, etc). And, yes it leaves you at risk if the supplier decides to cancel the product(s) or if they just go bust. Electrek h

In Chinese the use of 西 (western) often really means from the West compared to China so India/Central Asia/Middle East, which can be a little confusing at first if you are used to the word meaning "Western World". For i
