But macron said he'd do it.

So is this cope?

This is Euro cope.

No one thinks this outside the 5 minutes someone in Europe reads an article about how France says they will send troops to Ukraine.

But the troops never will come.

Get off Facebook and get on Wikipedia.

Or go visit there.

Even in rich cities, it felt like I was in the lower middle class area in my suburban area.

I think we are seeing the decline of even this. The European debt crisis, the United States security umbrella being disinterested in Europe, austerity, increasing retirement age, an inability to defend Ukraine without the United States. The running gag they don't have AC...

Even poor populations worldwide have access to the 3 things you described, but the quality is lower.

European decline has been mentioned since the 1930s.

I try to stay up on AI models, but I've given up on Mistral. I have tried using it too many times and it's the worst out of major models. Even Kimi and DeepSeek are miles ahead.

Seems like it's another European company that is only alive through government financing.

I understand wanting a home grown industry, but with AI models, just abliterate a DeepSeek model.

Total misunderstanding of the industry. Europe needs hardware, not a model that needs to be replaced monthly.

The empty posturing.

The faux unity.

That they think their politicians are better than the United States but have populist demagogues, right wingers winning, corruption scandals, freedom of speech restrictions, and unbelievably bad spending problems.

Still waiting for France to send troops to Ukraine or ask the United States to get rid of their European military bases.

I pass costs to my customers, so it doesn't really matter. They are getting 30k in value for $1000.

They compared codex with muse instead of OpenClaw?

Well I'm happy to know I'll have a job for a few years because this was incredibly weak.

I'm convinced gpt 4.5 was the best model humanity has ever made.

Now we are getting downgraded models that do 100x COT because it's cheaper.

Meh... There's a reason Opus 4.6 is still an option.

Pros know these are lower cost models.

Well this project is dead then.

I have a hard time knowing if anti AI is a mental illness or propaganda coming out of China.

Unironically.

Separately, why would anyone use a Debian based desktop OS? Your $11 Amazon mouse won't work. An Nvidia card won't work. Just use Fedora.

Nvidia already has better models. Only someone in bed with the EU would buy it when promised European wide regulation.

If you don't live in Europe, you would never choose Mistral. You'd pick a US model for state of the art. You'd pick a Chinese model for local stuff.

At its core, we are talking about language models. They are not equations. They are numbers being essentially multiplied together.

Because LLMs can't do math and don't understand 3D.

If they want to do either, the LLM needs to write programming scripts which takes far too long for every millisecond of movement.

Yep, when you can't compete, time to regulate.

I think it will work in Europe, but the United States is in a cold war with China, so I can't imagine the United States would intentionally disable themselves.

It's Mistral quality statement.

3rd tier quality proped up by European governments and European patriots.

I don't even know what I'd do if I was in their position. They seem unable to complete... Maybe they do the classic European protectionist thing European farmers do.

I don't know what I'd do if I was the EU. Maybe promote the opposite of what Mistral is doing and promote full unrestricted AI that will tell you how to download illegal videos. Mistral had 0 competitive edge.

Prohibitive medical costs cause patients not to go to the doctor.

Think AMA/ACGMe

Isn't this only an issue because they don't support fdroid?

Getting some 9-11 security theater vibes.

Apple has been so bad to me, that it's really hard to imagine going back.

But dear... Google has no idea that they have/had the genuine nerds and are blowing it.

This is among my greatest fears of android.

Not that Apple is better, but they lose a huge selling point.

As someone who has upgraded OpenClaw and it has less capabilities due to security that I don't need for a VPS doing prototyping... I get the negativity when things change.

But fdroid is GOAT. They could make me hand type the exact app I want and I'm sure the app will be better than the ad ridden play store equivalent.

I let my kids have phones on road trips and I only installed educational games from fdroid.

No concern they will click buttons that are going to attempt to make a purchase or go to an external Web site.

Same story with guitar tuner apps.

They just work.

As an owner of a medical clinic, there's an unbelievable difference between founder and inheritance.

One is ambitious, the other is a nepo baby.

Historically we've seen capitalism be a good thing.

Probably the biggest problem with medical is that it's incredibly regulated for the industry's benefit.

Still more democracy.

And rethoric doesn't matter in international relations. It's empty posturing. When is France going to send troops to Ukraine?

Sorry pals, this is one of the failings/successes of k12. We are taught Idealism. Words don't matter.

It's wild the disconnect between people who study international relations and highly educated westerners.

ITT: people dealing with realities.

Remember Chinese accounts on US Facebook say data centers are bad.

You cannot mention astroturfing on hacker news.

Yep.

The UN is a ceremonial organization that occasionally we get agreement on measurement units.

That's not what they teach in school though, and I think that genuinely is misinformation for Americans trying to understand international relations.

K12 teachers could almost get away with the one sentence: "Right is only a question among equals, for the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer as they must."

What's the name for this?

Apple distortion field or something?

Since we can't mention Apple marketing making comments on hacker news, let's say they are on Reddit. :D

Ban calculators moment.

In my master's they gave me anything I wanted, laptop, internet, whatever. Gave 2 stupid hard problems.

That's the future.
