everything behind cloudflare these days 😡

Believe it or not this is part of it, can’t make money to pay down debt if no one wants your stuff and you’re years behind everyone else

And about the command creation, it is laughable to waste this kind of energy on this easy of a task.

You better watch out or I’ll generate another image

sounds like you’re overthinking

Looks like it is comparable to the US Stargate announcement, the money is coming from private companies and going into private investment, which is amazing, I wish France24 had been a bit more specific:

Meanwhile, the French financing will include commitments from the United Arab Emirates, American and Canadian investments funds and French companies like telecommunications firms Iliad and Orange, and aerospace and defense group Thales

A few days before France’s AI Action Summit, which kicked off on Monday, the UAE said it would invest between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros in the construction of a one-gigawatt AI data center in France as part of a campus focused on the technology’s development.

European companies investing in Europe AND into leading edge technologies? Crazy

An Airbus style company would be awesome, I’m absolutely certain after Trumps latest round of insanity there’s a lot of countries that would like some supply chain diversity with EU chips to ensure China or USA can’t rattle them too hard

Yes it would take a lot of effort, the EU certainly has the money but seems content at the moment to throw it at America

The fabs you see on US or EU soils are few generation behind

Looks like Arizona already producing 4nm so not too far:

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/tsmcs-arizona-fab-21-is-already-making-4nm-chips-yield-and-quality-reportedly-on-par-with-taiwan-fabs

The first Fab 21 phase 1 module will officially start mass production using 4nm and 5nm-class process technologies. The next Fab 21 phase 2 is expected to follow in 2028 with 3nm-class process technologies. By the decade’s end, TSMC expects to build its Fab 21 phase 3, which will produce chips on 2nm-class and 1.6nm-class nodes and their variations with backside power delivery.

But outside of TSMC it looks like just Samsung competing in the space, as you said Intel miles behind and AMD sold off all it’s fabs

You should be less influenced by trends but more by real results.

I just used it 30 seconds ago for comparing export data: https://aussie.zone/post/17570399/14730920

and last night for French language practice with https://morpheem.org/fr-en

and https://chat.mistral.ai/chat earlier today for putting together a bunch of keyalgo’s and macs into an SSH command to get into my router

and https://lmstudio.ai/ with any one of these for javascript practice:

Heya!

Are you blind? There are so many things suggesting AI is a past thing already.

?? Really like what? I must be blind, Deepseek just made GLOBAL headlines, like my own local logan radio station mentioned it on its news the other day!

The Paris AI summit is happening right now:

On 10 and 11 February 2025, France will host the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit, gathering at the Grand Palais, Heads of State and Government, leaders of international organizations, CEOs of small and large companies, representatives of academia, non-governmental organizations, artists and members of civil society.

It’s being held at the Grand Palais which is very fancy :)

If you’re seeing something to suggest AI “is a past thing already” feel free to let me know

100% agreed, it’s funny because Europe has ARM and ASML, Taiwan is cool with the west and can produce chips, you even technically have a GlobalFoundries fabrication plants in Dresden so you can design and produce the chips, design the underlying instruction set but for some reason Europe just can’t put the whole thing together into a competitive product

I’ve seen it mainly used to assist with python scripts which work well not sure on how well it does shell scripts

Building a cheaper model that’s not as good as the top AI models is not the best way to build AI models, cheaper yes, but Deepseek isn’t the best AI model out there, it still gets beat by Googles/Claudes/OpenAI etc

A better way would be to combine the Deepseek training optimisations with raw power of Americas/nvidias hardware

We’re still at an early stage with AI, there’s nothing to suggest we’re anywhere near the end of Jevons paradox

In the AI FACTORIES!

…In terms of actual chips probably nvidia…

yeah it’s definitely an assistant not a cheap developer… or is it :O

Devin just came to take your software job… will code for $8/hr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhIm-Dk1pzk /s

I’m learning javascript and love it, so much easier to query Mistral/Qwen/Deepseek Distilled than scrolling through endless search results hoping someone ran into the same problem I did

I also run the AI models in LM Studio on my own machine so I’m happy with that as well, I try to self host where I can

I think the saddest thing here is that Europe has no capital markets union where it’s own private companies should be putting this money in

Europe will always be behind while it’s more difficult to raise funds and do business

This AI is just the latest thing, who knows what else Europe will soon fall behind in

People around me will cheer for this since they are not working in the programming industry

I don’t know how you can say this when programming is one of the best uses for AI

Yep sorry I’m in Aus not Canada, they’re a local manufacturer (https://reclaimenergy.com.au/), expensive as hell but felt like showing my support to at least one of the few places this still does engineering in Australia

How is that heat pump treating you

Really good! the separate compressor from the tank makes it whisper quiet, can barely hear it even if you’re a foot away, co2 which is the most environment friendly refrigerant, and power usage is well, minimal, only a small 160L tank because I live by myself, can see example of what it uses here (it’s the light blue bit at around 8am in the morning):

That said it is summer here in Queensland, will have to see how it goes in winter but under 1kw a day for hot water, that’s really not bad at all imo

yep small items i’ve pretty much given up on, nobody seems to care that $2 worth of stickers are made in China

It just keeps going though, weirdest one for me was those little marshmallows you put on cakes:

Coles Bake and Create Pink and White Mallows, 100g. Great for creating a delicious rocky road or topping hot drinks.

Made in China
