Everything, including my Dutch textbook website for some reason, is vibecoded now.

Google's approach reminds me of what could have been the EU's approach, they are really reluctant and drag they feet, but in the end they end up shipping and are competitive.

~ unfortunately both Anthropic and OAI already do high end "bespoke" consulting work for business clients, the so-called "Mistral approach" is just a crappier version of that unfortunately.

Mistral / Europe just doesn't want to be in the fight.

Google is the next Stack Overflow, but I doubt search will go obsolete obsolete.

A night of no sleep this one will be.

Sure are holding their own against the supposedly much richer Europe at this moment.

On the other hand (OTOH), China is desperate to keep up and keeps pushing open models (rightfully so), as they understand how far ahead from everyone the US is, and that whoever gets this right first basically is going to become an alien compared to others.

But even with all the open models the US is just insanely ahead in AI buildout and capital allocation (as usual).

Is it a bubble? Is it like the race for the-first-to-the-nuclear bomb? Both?

That is the culture of any self-respecting startup.

You can be informed by the community, but the decisions are your own.

I use Gemini(s) because I can send pdfs as files to their API and not worry too much. I've started to diverge and consacrate a part of my pipeline to sending image based pdf pages to glm flash 5.3, not sure how to address / test it properly.

Long term I have fears I can't depend of the Google's AI api.

I'm doing some public court records processing for bankruptcy cases (interested mostly to seek out corruption in big national cases), and yes, the "variousness" of random PDFs is exactly the issue. Trying to get the cost for a whole case down to a minimum.

Sample is around 300 court dates, shy under 1k files.

At best I'm building a claude skills file.

Yeah, every time I try to look into an EU parliament detail, it ends up being bonker-ish for a lack of a better word.

We are at war with Russia, but just as with climate or mass immigration, we refuse to address it.

As a european, for the love of god, can we address any single of our concerns by either the national or the supranational government?

It seems as if one ambiguates the other.

Yeah, not sure if Revolut is the fintech that's portrayed in the last season of The Industry.

Whatever this is, it's not prosperity.

HHhH is a decent book; it's probably DHH?

Does it beat Geminis on document processing is what I want to know.

Cogito ergo sum is still the only "barrier" for self-awareness, aka real knowledge.

Soon this equation will not be posed just for engineers.

My dudes, the EU doesn't have enough gas to survive the following winter, let alone if Poutine decides to go around Ukraine and test NATO in production.

Mistral is the cherry on the sundae of our concerns. It's a spiritual thing.

" And it will most likely end up as an acquisition." if they were really a thread, OAI / Anthropic would probably have swallowed them up by now, they're just going to go a decade as a EU zombie consultancy.

I hope I'm wrong here.

Europe is not China, I repeat we are not China, they build stuff. A guy from Austria ended up on Chinese national TV due to the bizarre way he had to obtain an AC unit this summer. Let's stop the larp.

A new ICE line between Antwerpen and Koln opened up the last week. The first train was half an hour late, the distance is under 250 km.

Not sure if you are European, but in EU it's a bit taboo to even talk about this in this manner. We like to spend a lot of money to make sure we finish last.

If you hate your job, an hour feels like hell. But it's your responsability, and if you don't like it, you just got to move.

Yes, also feel this is a massive underpricing.

"because globalization should increase linguistic complexity via exposure to other cultures" it is quite obviously decreasing it.

May be opencode2 in the near future. Sample (not affiliated) ~ 1. download opencode2 2. settings > tabs > vertical 3. add worktree setup to agents.md 4. use /diff to review changes 5. use commands for commit, sync and push

A stake through Amodei's heart.
