Most of high energy theoretical physics is very non-rigorous or even hand-wavy. I think AI isn’t there yet for such problems.

EU currently emits only 5% of the globally emitted greenhouse gases.

You can cut all the city hopping you want and it won't make the slightest difference.

What does the even mean if you can host your own

Last time I visited NL many shops (including Albert Heijn) only supported Maestro, so as a foreigner you effectively can't pay with Visa or Mastercard.

KubeVirt only supports full QEMU. They have a long open issue about QEMU MicroVM support.

You are comparing cars to bicycles.

The set of core services on AWS remains amazing: EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, Route53, RDS etc.

AWS IAM is extremely well designed when you compare it with the spaghetti monster IAM systems of other clouds.

Every time I try the new cool thing supposed to replace these services on some other provider - I understand how mature and polished the AWS ones are.

With that said, the rest 90% of AWS services like WorkMail, Cognito, API Gateway, are absolute hot garbage which no good meaning AWS expert will touch with a 10 meter stick.

If you use S3 Standard - Infrequent Access then it is $25/mo.

I hate to say it, but you don't have any issues mainly because the romanian tax office is just more relaxed than the german one.

> A company is considered tax resident in Romania if it has its ‘place of effective management’ (POEM) in Romania.

All EU countries have the same laws in this regard, as it is a precondition for joining the EU.

There is no such evidence. The widely accepted models of physics are all continuous. If you see headlines like "physicists think our world might be discrete" please read them as "scientists cured cancer in mice".

Yes, the specific details are outlined in the bilateral tax treaties between Estonia and the given country, but it is almost always tax evasion.

It mostly makes sense for people from countries with weak corporate tax enforcement that need a limited liability entity in a reputable jurisdiction like Estonia.

Please read up on what a permanent establishment means from a tax perspective. Most countries tax laws, especially EUs unambiguously state that the Estonian company will be taxed as if it was a company in your primary residence country.

The e-residence website repeats this many times, with many examples focusing on Germany.

https://learn.e-resident.gov.ee/hc/en-gb/articles/3600025428...

The whole e-residence thing only makes sense if you are from a non-EU country which doesn’t model its tax code on the OECD model.

People do get away with it until they get audited.

Days "roll-over" when you sleep, so it should be safe to rollover notes which haven't been edited for 6 hours. That way there is no fixed rollover time.

A well-written article that is a pleasure to read, in our slop driven day and age.

I have been skeptic of the no extra sensors approach Tesla took since they announced it . It is obvious that extra sensors is what can make self-driven cars outperform human drivers, not merely match them.

Fyi, Wero only supports three countries: Belgium, France, and Germany.

The amount of AI slop hitting the HN front page is getting out of hand. Then you open the comments and there are obvious LLM bots commenting on it.

Wonder if this is the end of HN.

Nice. I have normal winter gloves without the special “touchscreen” coating, so in freezing temps I became proficient with using my nose to unblock and answer calls on my iphone.

Soviet-aligned countries that didn't join the EU did much worse than those that did.

The blogs about page is fun:

> People create lies to gain power and money. Which is kinda what I was supposed to do, but for random reasons I went rogue and chose sanity instead.

> I am anti-bullshit.

These "contrarian for the sake of being contrarian" vibes naturally flow into this Rust post. Rust has a ton of faults, but this is was a very shallow critique.

Huh, such a self-deprecating take on software engineering can only come from a software engineer.

If the author spent more time with people working in other "real" engineering or science fields, he would know how much slop and lazy reasoning there is in there.

For a visual confirmation, look at how much faulty and badly designed cars or house electrical appliances get released every year. Things which break after a couple weeks of use.

Quality is rare everywhere, not just in SWE.

You are arguing about semantics of residence permit vs work authorization which is not the core of the issue. If you get fired and don’t find a new employer then you leave in 3 months.

Also, it is definitely not just a formality to change employers. For example, on a blue card the new employer must prove to the ministry that they couldn’t find anyone local or EU to fill this position aka “Labour Market Test”. The position needs to be registered in a special gov database to prove that, etc, etc.

Really? Most if not all EU work permits, especially highly-qualified ones are tied to an employer for at least the first 2+ years. If you get fired you have up to 3 months to find another employer who is willing to take over your residence permit.

I don’t follow what prevents criminals of such scale from using another encrypted channel or application after this ban?

Unfortunately io_uring is disabled by default on most cloud workload orchestrators, like CloudRun, GKE, EKS and even local Docker. Hope this will change soon, but until then it will remain very niche.

I talked to a Jetbrains representative at a conference about this. They said Fleet was/is an experiment in the realtime collaboration tech, which really bloomed during Covid. They said it is no longer seen as a good direction internally, so not to expect much.

Maybe things have changed since then, no idea.

I have moved to VScode after being a paying Jetbrains customer for 6 years. The Jetbrains IDEs are clunky and slow, they also have plenty of bugs which remain open for years. They do offer some really powerful refactoring capabilities but I don’t miss them.

Most of my work is in Go, Rust and Typescript.

I was told by Jetbrains representatives that Fleet is now deprioritized internally, which is a pity.

Direct quote from CEO:

> yandex is about 2% of the cost of your subscription

Source link: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...

Stopped paying for Kagi after finding out that they are using Yandex for some part of the search results and are paying Yandex 2% of their revenue for that.

For the unaware, Yandex Search is tightly integrated with the Kremlin.

Ha, the experiment will run in Germany, Belgium and Estonia. Estonia seems to be added for not making it too obvious they are targeting the decision centers of the EU.

> is providing a common language for computer scientists, mathematicians and physicists to speak

The cat theory framework is too high level to usefully exchange ideas between these fields. The consensus in academia seems to be that it is a nice "party trick" framework that has very limited insights or expressiveness in actual physics/CS problems.
