I was suggesting that website hosting isn’t a particularly hard problem with no moat. European customers could go literally anywhere.

In so far as AI can do hardware reliably you can bet your bottom dollar the big chip fabs have already been doing that. They don’t call it AI though and the models aren’t language based, surprisingly enough /s

I think a lot of European nations have been reevaluating their relationship with the US. Digital sovereignty in particular is a burning topic.

I agree with everything you have written here, however even in the face of that it makes “economic” sense for the EU to wait it out.

> no balls and no vision Seems to me they’re waiting it out. Everything could change in a presidential election and the European economy wins either way. It is an economic bloc after all. What you describe would be what’s called “cutting

The concern is not so much that the US will lose friends moreso that other business partners will become more prominent. The US has a lot of social capital to burn. I’m not certain that somebody hasn’t calculated how much they can get away

When an engine stalls, the implication is that the chain reaction that drives it is failing - I don’t think that is the case with a GPU as it will quite happily sit there drawing watts til you give it things. In systems nomenclature the inv

It’s TOS for using ebdpoint. It says: access is provided under condition you respect these restrictions You are not obliged to honour this. It is not enforceable so it seems strange. Browsers enforce it, but it can be turned off and nobod

It does not. Sometimes it will spawn a mess of ad hoc python, sometimes it will do curl and sed, and very very occasionally it will use the correct tool for the job if it remembers to use the skill you developed in the previous session.

Determinism is a desirable property for software, yes, and its lack thereof from LLM’s is a common complaint, but often a feature depending on who you ask. There is an element of randomness, “hotness” that is central to who LLM work but the

I suspect there are new invariants emerging. We don’t know what they are and we will probably have to reach into the liberal arts to describe them but to me what you’re seeing is akin to the subatomic world exposing itself through diffracti

I wonder what the additional power draw of these features would be. Parenthetically, I wonder often about the energy impact of all these HTTPS localhost links, and is there a point where defense-in-depth has to give way to other concerns? B

In my recollection COM became ActiveX which fell down the distributed objects hole along with CORBA because it embodied many of these fallacies.

If you’re exposing system concerns mixed in with application code you’re either doing it wrong or using some outdated architecture. Either way, it’s no excuses for shipping slop, which is what you’ve done it your software only works under l
