It's nice seeing Nim has some activity.

One or two more releases and they will reach Fable level.

Poor decisions from politicians continue to bite us harder and harder.

Our best hope for non US citizens is for the Chinese companies to continue to improve their models.

>but I don't think the rate of improvement of compute/watt will match the previous decades.

Unless we invest heavily in research and find new way to do chips. But I think there's not enough motivation and money to do that.

>But, history says the supercomputer of today will fit in your pocket in a few years.

That was Moore's law saying that. And it seems Moore's law slowed down quite a bit for now.

>Unfortunately this has been happening almost forever. You can spend 10s of thousands of $$ design, prototyping, building & marketing anything, whether a physical product or software & some company where the wages are lower are going to come along, build it cheaper (not necessarily better quality either) and ship it to the world.

>As a result, the other countries import more stuff "because it is cheaper" and eventually local manufacturing dwindles away to virtually nothing. That is the case here in Australia. Our manufacturing base has shrunk to stuff all compared to what we had 30 years ago & as a result we are poorer as a nation for it

Then the companies in that country need to learn how to be more competitive and governments need to learn how not to overregulate, overtax and raise barriers.

I know enough to understand this is interesting but sadly I don't know enough to understand how it works.

In a few months they will have Fable level models costing 10 times less and with less safeguards.

Sure, not everything is motivated by greed. I didn't mean that.

They justified it by religion but they really wanted to rob and mug. And this happened many times across history and will continue to happen: people claiming they are fighting for an ideal but really just wanting to gain power and money.

For C# is fun using intrinsics, you can almost match C speed for some tasks.

From where do you got the idea that adding /llm.txt to urls will produce markdown?

New comment by DeathArrow in "Communication on European Tech Sovereignty, and an EU Open-Source Strategy"

DeathArrow — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 12:27:27 +0000

Europe started going backwards from some time. Energy is becoming more expensive, raw materials are becoming more expensive, industry is thickening, jobs are closed, education is not ok, most important tech developments are happening elsewhere, we don't have a thriving startup environment, most large tech companies are established elsewhere.

Maybe we will wake up at some point and do something.

Discourses won't put foot on the table and won't help with economic competition.

>All that an inclusion of these new companies would accomplish is a bailout of their stockholders by pension funds and ETFs where millions of regular people shoulder all the downside risk.

The purpose of an index is to provide a benchmark of the market, not to build funds that follow the index.

This smells of corruption.

Can't they simply move their hosting and domains to other countries?

>MS will never contribute to things such as Wine and Proton and kill its golden goose.

I think Microsoft is contributing to Linux kernel. Their golden gooses are Azure and Office which have nothing to do with Wine and Proton.

It wouldn't be too weird if they will release a win32 compatibility layer for Linux in the future as they might not want to maintain a full operating system.

Can someone ELI5 why does it costs so much in terms of compute to produce weights from data?
