Mistral?

I always thought this product was goofy and obviously there's a lot to post-mortem in launching a product that never worked and wasn't popular with anybody. I do feel a little spark of admir…

My take on this is that Elon buying Twitter has been a bad business decision. X is almost certainly worth nowhere near $44B. But since the article states it's offered at no discount, I suppose in…

I am European and I tend to agree. The way it's currently going, it'll self-select for people who are good at filling out forms, which will either be the giant companies that can afford to h…

I think the fact that essays like this one proliferate is showing a cultural reversion. For the past few decades, there was a push for everyone to get a university degree, driven by a prmise that acad…

> A more apt comparison would be to craft a cooking tool that makes your work easier, or possible at all. (e.g a pot) Which is funny because almost nobody ever makes their own cooking tools. Most p…

> Minimum effective doses are powerful. But, they require precision. And it's also important to think about the fact that an MED doesn't get you the biggest effect size. It's the min…

If we stick with the comparison to cooking, I think AI is not like a cookbook, but like an air fryer. A cookbook lets you cook like Thomas Keller or Eric Ripert or whoever because you get their exact …

No I mean more the fact that Britain seems to have left the EU at least in part because they didn't want to deal with EU regulation superseding what the UK wanted... ...and then proceeded to basi…

This year, the UK has both an "online safety law" (EU analog: DSA) and a digital market regulation (EU analog: DMA) coming.

I've always wondered this about how Brexit went. However you feel about the way the EU and member states are currently run, it's odd to make such a big deal about leaving and then copy every…

Sure, but usually inertia doesn't get undone by some incrementally different alternative, but by something qualitatively different. The UK and EU have roughly similar problems, benefits, infrastr…

I think there's a few things here: a) Having English be the national language is a massive advantage which only Ireland shares (and Ireland has plenty of American tech outposts). That's an a…

Part of this is probably that Germany is in a recession. Overall EV registrations are down 27%, and with Tesla skewing higher in price, it would make sense they're more impacted in an economy whe…
