I did some admin work for the startup around 5 years ago and I have to say EU countries specially mine Sweden is far more clear. In USA you are basically hopeless without a lawyer. but I did a search and for clarity of rule I searched and this came up using AI:

World Bank’s broad “Regulatory Quality” measure supports that direction: Sweden scored 95.28/100 and the US 90.57/100 in its latest comparable 2023 data. I couldn't find EU wide score.

I wanted to help someone to get work visa and I thought it is like Sweden and you just fill a small form, oh boy! We hired a lawyer for just filling the US side application.

We use canonical tech in 3000 nodes in 4 different data centers. I would be afraid if LXD is going to be locked with juju for orchestration. Juju is not something the industry has been using and it is the source of most our problems e.g. performance overhead, scalability issues and juju not being mixable with other orchestration tools.

I wish LXD team try to keep it open and stop entangling lxd with the rest of canonical tools.

We do not deploy lxd on scale using snap. We build it and have as part of our packer pipeline on rockylinux 8.

Is there a link to rockylinux or almalinux expectation of this news? I just finalized choosing Rockylinux for our next generation HPC clusters!

I think this is a common practice nowadays until the regulations resolved it. Even Google chrome now asks if you changed the default search engine by mistake.

Bad logic. If the governance e.g., TA is not manipulating market e.g. giving this sort of subsidies in case of failure then market could find the right place. Instead of behind the scene talks, a measurable study would be done and then fabs would be finding a suitable place to establish. I am not saying Samsung has not done studies on the location. Just pointing out the fallacy in the dangerous logic.

Not sure why one needs to give so much information to this app while you can view YouTube using brave and hope for fewer data leaks.

I think we all know JRE is not about two people having shit conversation. I used to listen to it since 2016. In the past couple of years, JRE is all about let's bring out what triggers the other side; no matter what the other side is all about.

I have friends I have lost because of this, whom I have no idea how to respond to their messages anymore; Intelligent and educated ones.

Regular people argument doesn't apply in here.

I just saw some videos of teenage girls being dragged to be forced married on the street. Not sure how I can unsee it, really.

Since the last administration, Afghan government was not involved in negotiations with Taliban, and this sudden not calculated retreat. Can someone explain what is the mentality of the people who are agreeing with this. I have not seen one military person interview saying this is what they wanted.

I agree with these statements. Although I do not understand why this is not making any nosie internationally? NSO (ergo the supporting state) seems to be stealing data from EU leaders as well. Is this mean we have many NSO like companies out there that we do not know about and each country has one and everyone knows about these? Does anyone know what is the Swedish NSO?

We are counting on this. Actually investments in Sweden for data centers has rissen more than 20-40 percent at the normal rate.

I know that some purchases of cloud services are halted for now to be sure about this. Data movement is going to be increasingly an important matter. It should have been from the begining but here we are.

Honestly that support is meaningless for some areas I know. In our Data Center we have hit problems with old packages and at the end you will end up with a lot of your own packages. In the end I find Debian to be a good base, and you build the rest by yourself. Even though I use Fedora for Desktop, I always have a feeling Debian is the server choice which I can extend further.

For packages like Kubernetes or big data packages one should not use anyone else's builds. I have been finding problems in Cray's modules and eventually we are using our own builds we can reproducibly support using Spack.

By understanding the stability I mean the other two are as stable as far as I have experienced them in the last decade.

I am really interested to know why should anyone go with this when Debian or Ubuntu LTS exist. The two later have not changed their policies in the last decade, and they have a clear path for upgrading. CentOS was always a clear choice for device drivers support, but I never understood the stability claims.

Fortran is domninant in HPC (Maybe not dominant, but there are a lot of software in HPC written in Fortran). R uses some performance oriented libraries which most likely implemented in Fortran.

Normally they are fine, but add the indexers and code parsers then everyone is bloated. On my emacs + lsp, lsp is the one using a lot of cpu/memory resources.

> Emacs is still actively used today ... I would change much of the Readme.

Dicipline of the company is more important than the talent. Oracle has a lot of talent, but they lack the discipline of generating anything novel. They buy the idea. Anyhow semi-conductor industry is different. Apple or Amazon played it in my opinion better although in vastly different markets.

This is a good point, but it mostly matters when you are in middle of developign the strategy so that you can protect it and wanna have a robust plan. Maybe they are!

I understand that they need a big push in DPU market, but I do not understand why companies as big as AMD do not invest and build what they need in house? If anyone can, it is AMD that can gather the talent. Everyone was talking about future data centers, and as far as I can tell I have been hearing about heterogeneous IO since 2009 (and that's me, and I was hearing it while working on Xen).

To asnwer my question maybe the market is so volatile that they cannot do strategic planning like that?

I was in a very interesting presentation once about the impact of ships on clouds [1]. There is more depth into the impact of these vesels compared to only the amount of carbon emission. But honestly I am not expret, I found it intreresting that for example the shipping from europe to USA had some impact in the amount of clouds in nortern africa. Although, I cannot find the presentations I saw.

Oceanbird probably is not a CGI only product. If you check the startup behind it started from KTH university then you and follow the related people in there you can see it is just not built but it is a product of so much simulations. I am not sure if it works out but the idea is more robust than one might assume initially.

In my undergrad studies I learned to do assembly on z80. Is there something similar one can get for educational porpuses using RISC-V?

In your provided link it points to Sweden as one of the best prepared countries for COVID. I am Swedish citizen. I am actually quiet surprised since it is still hard to get tested and test results take longer than two days (mine was a week but it was private and two months ago).

Sweden in general is handling it well, but it would take a long time to understand who handled covid better.

Wasn't the latency and limitation on throughput of number of transactions per second a flaw in design? I remember it that the whole process must have have been redesinged in order to get to what Banks are capable right now.

I do not know how to research this, but what is the status on EU? How EU does this? I know that in Sweden it is only one email and you can get any public document. Even the emails of publicly funded positions.

Local and regional shops. Audible doesn't have some of the voices where I live, because it is regionally locked (I live in Sweden).

What is the indication that the industry which privacy is against its current interest to be able to come up with a solution which would completely redefine it? I have someone close that works in a massive telco and talking to them I do not think they would think oh lets not sell these data and lose a lot of money becasue there is another feasible solution.

In Europe when you buy a battery you are already paying the tax for recycling, and places where they sell these batteries have to accept the dead batteries and send them for recycling.

Oh come on, you jinxed it. Now, 2020 will never finish!
