Yes, there are many scam conferences that don't do any peer review. They are a huge problem. They waste researchers time and money and exist only to extract dollars from people, not to advance science.

Yes, it is the "real world" for research, of which industry does nearly zero. Research pushes humanity forward. The sort of anti-intellectualism in your comment is part of what is causing the decline we are seeing in society today

Even worse, people seem to forget that “science” is not math. You need to test hypotheses with physical (including biological) experiments. The vast majority of the time spent doing “science” is running these experiments. An LLM like AI won

Kagi uses Google and Bing so no reason they won't add this new index to the mix, if they can gain access. The more indexes the better!

The fall of the US will absolutely harm other western countries yes. But we will build and eventually thrive, unlike the US if it remains on its current trajectory.

Europe has sun and wind. In the time it would take the US to build one nuclear plant Europe can build over 10x as much renewable capacity, for 1/10th the cost. As much as I'm pro environmental protection, the reality is that a lot

However hard it is, the decline of the US is going to force Europe and the rest of the western countries to build out replacements for US labour and goods. The US is simply not a reliable trading partner nor ally under the new administratio

You realize that the US buys energy from Canada right? The US has no advantage on energy. Even in Europe, building more power capacity is simply a matter of wanting to.

He sure seems to be able to just terminate legislation signed into law. He already did it with USAID, and is in the process of doing it to many other departments.

Probably because Europe is not threatening them behind the scenes and perhaps offering money as well. Diversifying chip manufacturing more globally is pretty crucial to maintaining the world order though. Sadly, having a fab in the US under

I know what Cloud is, and OVH has a cloud, with many of the same services as AWS. Even Bunny can be configured via terraform. So the reality today is that AWS and other cloud offerings have strong alternatives, but Office and Github don&#x2

Access to training hardware. Both in terms of the money involved but also the availability of suitable devices.

Language? What about principles of freedom, democracy, and science? I would think that those things would be why US scientists choose Canada and Europe first. I doubt language is really high on the list.

Why leave terraform? You don’t feel OpenTofu will carry the torch well enough?

100% this, combining traditional OCR with VLMs that can work with bounding boxes so that you can correlate the two is the way to go.

Having experience in this area, audit, legal, confidence intervals are essential. No, you don't end up "passing every single document" to human review. That's made up nonsense. But confidence intervals can pretty easily

There is already a decent cloud industry in Europe. OVH has been around for decades, and many companies in North America even use them because they are often a bit cheaper. But you also have newer players like Scaleway and CDNs like Bunney.

Excuse me? Based on what? In my time in academia exactly zero researchers would claim that their work is somewhat bullshit. As a society, there is laughably little support for science, instead the majority of policy and business decisions a

Seems to me that the review worked, you caught the plagiarism, even though the other two missed it. It's disturbing that somehow the paper author found your contact information though!

I'd say developing "evil" AI is a bad business idea. And if you really think that Mistral is not competitive then you clearly know so little about the AI landscape that it's hilarious that you think you're going to

Most software businesses operate internationally, so the EU regulation is something you'll have to deal with no matter where you host, assuming you sell into the EU. I don't believe that hosting in the EU means you need to treat n

Small, so very easy for me to do and little impact, much harder obviously for large businesses. Still, I would flag use of US services as a major risk for non-US businesses right now. Having previously run a >200 person software company,

In looking for non-US alternatives, I think the thing that surprised me most is a lack of solid github/gitlab competitors. The only serious alternative for businesses is a managed gitlab or gogs (gitea).

I recently moved my software business mostly off US services. Diversifying away from the US is one of the most important things all of us outside the US can do for the free world right now.

Indeed, undermining elections in Europe and other free societies is bad too. Doing so might ruin any business and other longstanding relations you have with those countries!

The value of the product when calculating tariffs isn't necessarily the manufacturing cost, it could also be the "market value". I tried to find a source for how to calculate the value on a complete laptop but a quick search

The "data" either supports their claim or it doesn't. They've defined a new metric, now they can back up their claim by showing how this metric has changed over the last 20 years.

This is wildly misleading. You can argue that we should use a different metric, sure, but then you must look at all of history using that metric to compare "the economy now, to the economy before." The data was not wrong just beca

I'm less interested in the ads being private as I am in there being no ads at all. Ads are a deal breaker. Maybe they have a paid ad-free tier? I don't want to have to install it to find out.
