Rocket launch, Twitter and xAI is roughly a zero valuation.

Starlink the worlds fastest growing ISP, while having an enormous profit margin is the bread and butter. From a serious perspective, also what you should aim the valuation for.

Did their IPO launch at a fair valuation? Hell nah

Saudi Arabia reassures LGBTQ+ visitors ahead of 2034 World Cup

20% of the parliament is women. Beating the US congress.

The guardianship rules doesn't apply for working and traveling. So any woman over 21 can apply for a passport and leave if they feel like it.

77% of women has a secondary (high school) education and 37% participate in the workforce.

Yes Saudi Arabia has a long freaking way to go, but they've been closing the gender gap in recent years.

Womens rights is a theme among several middle eastern countries, I'm naive enough to believe they understand it will benefit society and not done so entirely to befriend Europe

Swiss chocolate isn't the good stuff, somehow it's branded so people feel so.

If you're going for the absolute top, local chocolateries is the desire - They're good all over the continent.

But the step just underneath handmade artisan chocolate is Amedei and Neuhaus - Italian and Belgian respectively.

When we get into general higher consumer grade chocolate, then Swedish and Finnish chocolate tends to mock Swiss chocolate. Marabou and Frazer over Lindt any day of the week.

Toms and Pergale floors for slightly fancier stuff

Chocolate isn't as dominated by singular countries as some people think, but Swiss products are generally over priced and better products can usually be found within Europe

because the AI industry is “building AI-agent integrations into production infrastructure faster than it’s building the safety architecture to make those integrations safe”.

How dense are some people? No they don't build integrations to your prod environment, you hand them the access willynilly. I was in an AI related greenfield project 2 years ago, there's several reasons why communication with our db happened through an API. The primary one, control.

Hungary parliament votes to remove president from office

Reply in thread

But is the current president separated from power?

The claim is the current president is a Fidesz supporter, rather than an independent onlooker ensuring democratic process.

Presidents/Kings in Europe's role is to stop a parliament in case they begin to transition into authoritarianism or enact laws that are indisputably against the people.

There's a few systems that differ, such as the French at which the president is responsible for foreign politics

The UK were never a partner of the free movement, you'd have to dig out your passport every time you were entering their country and I doubt freedom of movement would be on the top of their list of things they'd want from a partnership with the EU

CEO Pleads With AI Industry to Stop Charging So Much to Replace Human Labor

Depends entirely on whether or not Moore's law has hit a physical limit yet.

If we're still doubling computational every X years for the same cost, we'd be able to see same models cheaper. If we're however finally hitting physical limits, then yeah. It won't be cheaper and we can't just smash more context in it like there's no tomorrow.

Then the most likely breakthrough would have to be DNA storage (tri point storage, rather than bi point storage) and then we'd need fast read/write to DNA storage. As that'd theoretically allow for more context for the LLMs, context is the biggest bottleneck

I 50 år har nøgenbadning været lovligt, men unge tøver i dag med at smide badetøjet

Men tøver unge rent faktisk i større grad? Eller ønsker de bare ikke at være en del af et naturist miljø?

Umiddelbart siger min mave fornemmelse at strandene er blevet mere nøgne i løbet af de sidste 10 år. Har selv badet nøgen i mange år, men har intet behov for at være i et område hvor alle er nøgne, det må folk selv om

Kunne være interessant med reel statistik på området, fremfor en reklame for naturistcamping

10 years post claim entering a getting there phase is good.

For plasma fusion it took like 40 years post promise to the getting there phase, as long as the getting there phase means private investors are willing to fund

Thing is, they have been doing this for over a decade. Publicly traded companies can't compete long-term, if there's a well funded provate competitor

Of course they can, they can use the same aim. Problem is it's more profitable to grind a company down, let it bankrupt and do the same to the next company. Hence enshittification arrived, venture capital has a full playbook for dismantling companies from the inside.

There's still a few old bastions wanting stability, Coca Cola Group is the most obvious example of this
