mciancia··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
> still have to see campings in the middle of a big city

I saw that in London, in Rome and afair in Berlin

Not to the same extend as camping villages in LA but still. But I also didn't go that much inside those bad parts of cities in Europe, in US I drove through them

> I can't think of any single person who grew up (like me) in Europe and would choose US as a destination.

I can and all of them are from EU.

> The world would be better without Facebook and Instagram in particular.

Maybe, but it's also better to have our own alternatives for those than to rely in so many cases on US tech only

mciancia··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
> China still does not have many companies on the level of American technology firms

Maybe in terms of valuation. In terms of tech itself, I would say they are pretty close, few years behind maybe with gap closing

mciancia··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
US. Or China if you are Chinese

Both in longer term ofc

Most people in my circle in EU seems to see it in similar way. Not much we can do about it though :(

I would say they do more damage to Europe then US
mciancia··on Mistral raises €3B
But you should be able to hire most of the people you want, not just some that happen to pick Paris.

Also, if given a choice of 90k eur in Paris vs let's say 2m usd in US I'm pretty sure suddenly most of the issues people have with US would suddenly disappear ;)

mciancia··on Costco is the anti-Amazon
Lol, where did you get those numbers from? xD

Tesla uses something like 15kWh per 100km, so 5 mile drive is something like 1.1kWh

Yeah buying airpods seems like better idea than being stabbed/beaten up

mciancia··on Was my $48K GPU server worth it?
Depends what you want to do and which cards you have, but usually going with any older (3rd gen+) threadripper pro setup will give you a lot of pcie lanes.

I myself run with gigabyte trx40 aorus xtreme, but since it's regular threadripper (not pro) with 4 GPUs 2 of them will run at x16 and two of them at x8 speeds

mciancia··on Was my $48K GPU server worth it?
I wonder why using 2 PSUs resulted in having slower interconnect.

There is no specs in this blogpost regarding cpu/motherboard choice, but if you go with threadripper pro they have 128 pci-e lanes for some time now, so using all GPUs at full speed shouldn't be a problem

mciancia··on Was my $48K GPU server worth it?
Nope, they don't support it. And afair even if they did, you would be limited to connecting only in pairs, not all 6 together
mciancia··on Flipper One – we need your help
Getting rid of SDR, nfc and RFID hardware is a big mistake IMO.

Doesn't look like this is gonna be cheap, so getting rid of 20USD worth of hardware that previous generation was known for doesn't make sense

mciancia··on Apple removes iPhone vibe coding app from app store
Wechat works on iPhone
mciancia··on Apple discontinues the Mac Pro
It is unified memory on this one
mciancia··on Tinybox – A powerful computer for deep learning
Not sure why they stopped using 6 GPUs in thei builds - with 4 GPUs, both 9070 and rtx6000 come in 2 slot designs, so it easy to build it yourself using a bit more expensive, but still fairly regular motherboard.

With 6 GPUs you have to deal with risers, pcie retimers, dual PSUs and custom case for so value proposition there was much better IMO

Not when you want to win and compete with someone who does 996
mciancia··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
I hope not. Projects like that to have any chance at surviving have to be good phones first. Adding modularity will make it worse in terms of specs, more expensive and in the result dead on arrival. Once they launch a few successful (or at least sustainable) products, they can maybe try doing some modularity
mciancia··on The MiniPC Revolution
Minisforum ms-a2 afaik can hit a lot of those requirements unless you need to fit a big GPU or a lot of spinning rust
mciancia··on GPU Price Tracker
3090 is like 600-800 USD used and basically no new stock.

They have shit data since Amazon doesn't really sell most of those cards and they do no validation

Well, given how well game streaming can work (local, not cloud), I think low latency for drones should be possible :)

Yes

N100 with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd is around 130eur on AliExpress

mciancia··on Panasonic Toughbook 40
Not no one. There is also getac, durabook, rugged series of some dell laptops, there is (was?) itrinix and probably a bit more that I don't really know of :)

> The Power Mac 9500 could take up to 1.5 gigs of memory in 1995.

> It's a shame that no computers really distinguish themselves like that any more, aside from high end server systems.

Well, intel mac pro from 2019 could take up to 1.5TB of ram while I would guess standard back then for PCs was 16-32GB at most. So should be comparable (1.5GB vs 16-32MB of ram in 1995)?
