Yes, but the subtext is even stronger.

I appreciate I can set a monthly spending limit for the pay-as-you-go API, but I'm just not willing to find out how far €100 will go, when I know it will go further elsewhere.

I just wish they had that €100 subscription tier, for the equivalent of €1k pay-as-you-go use.

Recently I switched to the Mistral hosted GLM-5.3, this worked very well and powered through a tonne of work. Unfortunately, I also completely maxed out two subscriptions within the space of six days this month. One can't stack subscriptions with Mistral, so I'd have to register a third account for another subscription, which will be annoying with changing API keys all the time. Sure I can switch to pay-as-you-go API, but that adds up really fast. The Mistral dashboard shows that a Vibe CLI monthly subscription for €18.44 actually provides €255 worth of API use (apparently, and I tried to check this with Support but it seems like they were intentionally vague).

After maxing out my Mistral subs this morning, I dropped $10 on Xiaomi to try MiMo-2.6. So far so good, seem to have done a lot of work for the $2.85 I've spent, and Xiaomi prices are still much better than the Mistral introductory offer for Le Chonk.

Not sure where to jump.

Edit: Not being able to stack subs is my biggest gripe with Mistral. I'd probably pay them $100 per month (5 subs worth), but I'm not going to switch to the pay-as-you-go API and burn much more money for the same amount of tokens. Instead, I've taken that extra money elsewhere. If they just allowed one to keep topping up subscriptions on the same account it'd be grand. Or even a bigger single subscription. Make a $100 tier with five times the capacity.

Have a look at the Award in Remote Emergency Medical Technician[1] from the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine. It's 75 hours of online study, then a 6 day course in their classroom in Malta (another 50 hours). Afterwards you'll hold a recognised European tertiary qualification, but you'll still have to sort out local registration.

The AREMT course is actually also the first module in their full BSc in Remote Paramedic Practice programme.[2]

However, I also use the Mistral Vibe chat in my browser. I think they only switched to GLM-3.5 here a couple of days ago (https://docs.mistral.ai/resources/changelogs). It'd be nice if Mistral had a desktop client, but I have Goose installed which I have no real complaints about.

Whenever I return to Australia (also mostly rural locations) the major difference I notice is bird life. There are so many more birds in Australia. Maybe they’re just noisier.

We put feeders out in our Austrian garden and do see plenty of small birds, as well as woodpeckers, crows and pigeons. However, in Australia there are lots of small birds too, like finches and wrens. As well as magpies, currawongs and the large noisy flocks of galahs and sulphur crested cockatoos. King parrots and rosellas regularly seen. Maybe it’s a regional Australia phenomenon, but it really stands out to me.

For some people the COVID vaccine(s) were rushed to market, with limited clinical trials, intended to vaccinate the entire adult population, with limited data as to their immediate effectiveness and with no data about long term effects. You can debate whether the above points are valid or not, but for some people they certainly raised a safety flag.

I completely agree that the vaccine scepticism around the COVID vaccines is now carrying over into other, well tested, well understood and very, very beneficial vaccines.

The article was needlessly hyperbolic and narrowly focused on a single market.

“Driving a manual vehicle is a lost art.”

Hardly. It may be decreasing overall but nowhere near a lost art.

“Yet manual-equipped cars still have a loyal following, making up nearly 29% of new-car sales in 2024 across Europe's big five markets.”[1]

I also went through quite a process to select a language to work with LLMs[1] before settling on OCaml.

I am not unhappy with the choice and find it works quite well, with relevant skills loaded, but I am always interested in others’ experience and understanding what they’ve discovered works well.

And also specifically former RAF stations (stations, airports and headquarters):

Mistral isn’t specialising in French language LLMs either.

The point was that across different European countries and languages there are collaborations and M&A happening.

German and French speaking together at last.
