- I think you can make a bigger list of US firms that are benefiting from EU laws, like Epic Games, Garmin, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft. But these companies are again also benefiting from maybe other American more established and US protected companies.
- Domain Specific Languages + Formal Verification.
With a domain specific language you can add extra limitations on the kinds of outputs. This can also make formal verification faster.
Maybe like React components. You limit the format. You could limit which libraries can be imported, what hooks could be used, how expressive could be.
- I agree with you. To me, gemini has much worse search results. Then again, I use kagi for search and I cannot stand the search results from Google anymore. And its clear that gemini uses those.
In contrast, chatgpt has built their own search engine that performs better in my experience. Except for coding, then I opt for Claude opus 4.5.
- On Safari I use Wipr and Sponsorblock. Afterwards I use web version of everything instead of apps, including youtube.
- Linux desktop is getting better every year, meanwhile Windows and arguably MacOS are getting worse every year.
- The scale of the outage was so big and global, that the biggest failure was indeed the blast radius.
- Website bloat also slows you down cognitively, not just in load time.
- Recently in NL many supermarkets have dropped the coin completely. But people have been conditioned for years to return the cart. Though there are cart thieves.
- When I worked on an enterprise data analytics platform, a big problem was docker image growth. People were using different python versions, different cuda versions, all kinds of libraries. With Cuda being over a gigabyte, this all explodes.
The solution is to decompose the docker images and make sure that every layer is hash equivalent. So if people update their Cuda version, it result in a change within the Python layers.
But it looks like Flox now simplifies this via Nix. Every Nix package already has a hash and you can combine packages however you would like.
- I installed NixOS + Jovian on my Steamdeck and it works great as well.
- I joined an actual startup and am also very happy. We are just focused on making the product work. Not on promo docs or headcount fighting.
- European governments have huge collections of digitalised books, research, public data.
But also European culture could maybe make a difference? You can already see big differences between Grok and ChatGPT in terms of values.
- You can have small design up front as-well. You write down one or two pages, let the LLM generate code and tests. Keep iterating. If you believe in 100% LLM coded applications, then it makes sense to manage the English input as specifications. Instead of throwing the prompts away, you neatly organize them. Plus you can add additional constraints when the AI does something you don't like.
But I don't trust LLMs to program anything critical, and only do sandbox/tests/demo's. Things where code quality is less important.
- Can we use raw oil 100% without burning/wasting it?
How much percent recyclable plastic could we extract out of raw oil? Like real recyclable plastic, where it is worth money to do so.
Maybe making more bitumen/asphalt for roads/roofs, or graphite for batteries?
- Well, what I found is that 'music quality' is not the same as how compressed a song is. Tidal tends to have different mastered versions of album's that do give a different listening experience.
- When I used a laptop as server, the battery became a spicy pillow. I think laptops are not designed to be running continuously and on warmer temperatures than normal.
- I would love to be able to see IFrame and BroadcastChannel communication
- Building physical data centres and GPUs will cost some real money.
For medium or small companies, these guardrails or documentation can be missing. In that case you need experienced people to help out.
