Very simplified:

Wind blows mostly in Denmark during the day, so Norway stops hydro during the day and imports electricity from Denmark's windmills.

During night the wind is mostly still in Denmark so windmills don't produce much and Denmark imports from Norway's hydro.

In this way you can stretch the capacity from hydro using windmills even though Norway isn't a good place for windmills.

Norway runs almost entirely on hydropower. Sweden has a lot.

Iceland runs on hydropower and geothermal.

Taxi drivers don't use road signs anymore for figuring out which direction to take.

People who can "reduce" a big system to build on a few simple concepts are few and far between. Most people just add more stuff instead.

Sun had the same problem after 2001 dotcom when standard PC servers became reliable enough to run web servers on.

It's easier to sell "our special sauce" when building using a custom ARM platform. Then you have no easy comparison with standard servers.

I think we can ignore the "AI" word here as its presence is only because everything currently has to be AI.

So why would IBM add ARM?

> As enterprises scale AI and modernize their infrastructure, the breadth of the Arm software ecosystem is enabling these workloads to run across a broader range of environments

I think it has become too expensive for IBM to develop their own CPU architecture and that ARM64 is starting to catch up in performance for a much lower price.

So IBM wants to switch to ARM without making a too big fuzz about it.

This is the source article (in Danish) for the bluesky posts:

When money is gone, the military is gone.

Money goes easily when a country has a large debt and need other countries to continue to buy into that debt.

This is already happening with trade (e.g. soy beans) and with military purchases.

Canada is moving quickly with moving trade elsewhere.

and you are not allowed to criticize it or write about the size of it or how much meat there is in it or how filling it is to eat the burger.

and you are definitely not allowed to compare it to burgers from other companies.

This didn't happen for music.

It is much easier to create/record music today than in the 70s and 80s, but the music created today is mostly boring AI music and not new exiting/inventing music.

I think you proved the point (about no history) without wanting to.

How large percentage of history lessions in Europe do you think is spent on the years after the 17th century?

Don't use binary formats when it isn't absolutely needed.

Some languages have more variations. E.g. Czech, Slovene and Russian has 1, 2-4 and 5 as different cases.

Personally I think the syntax is too brittle. It looks too much like TeX code and it has the lisp like deal with lines ending with too many } braces.

I would separate it into two cases: simple strings with just simple interpolation and then a more fuller markup language, more like a simplified xml.
