Wouldn't a smart contract also have a statue of limitation built in?

I also use Plan Mode. How does it otherwise work if I am not even quite sure what exactly I want to build myself?

I think their point was more: is an ESP32 more like a arduino (or any other MCU) running bare metal or some thine RTOS or more like a raspberry pi which is more like a mini computer running a full fledged Linux. And I guess the answer it kind of always sat in between a little bit and now the family kind of spreads out across this whole spectrum.

I have used fable to aid me with PCB design. It is pretty good. But it can also sometimes make very human mistakes. It mixed up RX and TX on a uart line. If you don't catch stuff like that and get assembled boards this can obviously be pretty annoying. On the other hand I have also mixed up RX and TX before, lol.

Sure. More precisely: they resolved the Navier-Stokes Millennium problem as posed by the Clay Institute. Not sure what else "solving Navier-Stokes" could reasonably mean. A general closed-form solution probably doesn't exist. And numerical solutions have existed for decades. But of course there are still open questions like unforced solutions etc.

Humans are incredibly good at adapting. A few days ago AI solved Navier-Stokes and I was blown away. Now I'm already thinking: "Well, it was only a counterexample and it brute-forced its way to it." lol

> If global warming disrupts 99% of all crop production, the remaining 1% is still plenty enough to sustain a stable, if miserable, population.

That is extinctesque enough for me. An AI extinction would probably be similiar.

Can someone explain if i understand this correctly: Are they saying that they started training this new model on August 28th and then started using it on September 1st? Does training a new model only take 3 days?

> I've heard it said that true understanding is demonstrated when someone can explain difficult concepts well.

I think this not generally. I worked together with this amazing engineer, but he really struggled to sometimes explain what he was trying to do. He came up with great solutions, but often took us some time to figure out what he was trying to get at.

Probably some of those issues are not a big problem when you have a good salary (like child/healthcare). And a Silicon Valley salary in Idaho sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

I feel your argument is shifting. Also, it was Fraunhofer that was threatening developers at the end of the 90s not Thomson. Fraunhofer will very aggressively defend their patents/licenses.

Fraunhofer absolutely does licensing. That is one of their main sources of income. Also,your retelling of the story is off: https://www.4ipcouncil.com/features/mp3-digital-audio-coding

I am from Germany and public transit is hit and miss here also. Big cities like cologne are great. My commute to work is also fine with public transit (although I mostly bike, actually) But very often there are places I have to go where public transit is pretty inconvenient (adding a lot of time to a trip). I am all for public transit and it should be cheap (maybe even free) and widely available, but it simply doesn’t work for me all the time.

Yeah, fake testimonials and sales numbers are problematic both in the US and in the EU and can actually get fairly expensive. I would just leave this stuff off or be very prepared to back the claims. I think a problem is that a competitor (like slack or jira or whoever) might file a complaint.

So, OpenAI and Anthropic say the Chinese models are only as good because they distill their models. How true is that. I am sure it adds something. But is it more like a marginal 1% improvement or something really significant?

> Claude just gave up and did an HTML/CSS implementation but I insisted on native SwiftUI+Metal.

That sounds very odd and very contrary to my experience. You don’t say which model you actually used, but I never had opus 4.8 (or sonnet for that matter) ignore which language/stack i wanted to use.

I think (but I have no actual insides), they picked 800V dc for datacenter also because that is commonly used for the DC bus in EVs. So, one can share a lot of components across industries. Also, 800V just kind of works well for power transistors like SiC Fets.

> Not a fair comparison. 30-40x population difference.

I've always found that argument puzzling. A population 30 times larger also means roughly 30 times the technicians, funding, and resources etc.

Although, you have a very good point that internet speed is not everywhere good in Europe. Maybe that is what you are getting at? One can pick a place Europe with great internet speed, but one can also find places in Europe with terrible internet speed. In that sense it is a mixed bag just like the US.

Tesla might actually support car play soonish: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-13/tesla-is-...

Infineon is betting big on the 800V dc power distribution that seems to become the new standard for AI data centers which is directly relevant for the chips that are made in this fab.

Unfortunately it feels close to zero sum to me. I am getting absolutely drowned in AI generated personal sales pitches now. That obviously scraped my name/company online and automated the email. I feel sales becomes even more relient on trade shows and conferences and person to person interaction (Only talking about B2B stuff that I am involved in).

> How does anthropic know my "kernel" project isn't a personal toy and not the Linux kernel?

The Linux Kernel is in its training data. I just tested it. I copied about 20 random lines from the linux kernel and asked which codebase this was from and it could immediately tell.

My understanding is that a lot of AI data centers are still heavily relying on spinning HDDs, which is why seagate, western digital are selling more HDDs than ever before.

In 2004 people were predicting that the real estate bubble would burst and then nothing happened. Until it did.

When you first built it, were you aware there was market for the data? Or was this something you discovered afterwards? It makes sense, but I wouldn’t have guessed it.

> 2. Talent & compute: due to #1, Silicon Valley can outbid Europe for the best talent and hardware. Watch an OpenAI launch video and listen to all the European accents.

There is definitely a lot of truth to that. Maybe a bit of an arbitrary measure, but these are the nationalites of the people that wrote the "Attention is all you need" paper. Pretty revealing I find:

Ashish Vaswani: India

Niki Parmar: India

Jakob Uszkoreit: Germany

Llion Jones: Wales (UK)

Aidan Gomez: Canada

Łukasz Kaiser: Poland

Illia Polosukhin: Ukraine

Noam Shazeer: USA

Absolutely not. My wife could apply for German permanent residency as well as now German citizenship from within Germany. She has been living in Germany for 10 years now and at no point in the process did she have to go through a German consulate (she is a US citizen).

So, I experimented a little bit with smaller models and the problem I faced is that it would simply not call a tool that is available, but instead just describe the tool. Is this something that Forge can help with?

I think it had more to do with the reality of the market. Solar panels have become incredibly cheap and that's because they are mass produced and standardized. Everything in the manufacturing process has been optimized. Now it is technically of course possible to make them other form factors, but artisinal solar panels are simply so much more expensive and cannot compete in any meaningful way with regular panels.

My understanding is that the US doesn’t really have an official category called “medium sized”. So I think the “small business” category is better compared to EU’s SME category (small-medium-enterprise), which is often lumped together.
