The problem with digital writing is that you loose spatial orientation because of panning and zooming. At least I think this is the reason why I sometimes prefer pen and paper.
I'm skeptical. How can a one time payment be sustainable when they offer 24/7/365? I'm also unsure how they got such a high valuation with this clear drawback.
Is this issue only about the memory? Wouldn't it be possible to have it expose any information that it currently has like current project information, code, credentials etc?
The aim is to develop an open, sovereign European ensemble of large language and reasoning models (LLMs/LRMs) and agent-based systems that are powerful, transparent, and deployable on European cloud and edge infrastructures.
First important step is the need to make your application faster.
Second step is to actually make it faster.
And I would say 99% of the time you can make applications faster without going down so deep on this low-level (which is still not easy) but sometimes you can only get faster via low-level optimizations.
Coincidentally a few days ago, also for a sorting algorithm, I stumbled over a situation where replacing the branchless cmov with branching instructions actually made the code 30% faster:

Or at least the AI explained it this way to me, but I'm unsure if this is correct.
Not useless. It is like the missing printer driver for Linux Desktop. It makes the experience ugly, but this is not the fault of the Linux OSes.
Also the bank should not require apps (instead they can offer hardware key support or desktop apps) and in fact some - at least in Germany - offer a different authentication possibility. Also the app for the German ID is published on fdroid and does not rely on Google services.
Even if these models are so strong that they become a security threat if in the wrong hands this arbitrary and intransparent regulation worries me. Not for the current SOTA model vendors but for the open weight models.
I have always wondered how AI industry is not in a (partial) bubble because open weight models will substantially eat into their revenue (rather sooner than later). But with this ('bro') regulation it seems that an easy strategy could be to regulate this problem away, especially easy to convince everyone that those chines models are truly evil.
The current costs do not have to be sustainable for the SOTA model providers as they grow their user base. But I really wonder about the future as the costs have to increase at some point (to be sustainable) but at the same time the competition and local models get better and better.
I think the German Personalausweis has an electronic ID function that does this: age verification without giving out other information like name etc. But the application chooses which information is requested and could/will request more.
Unfortunately few know and use this information although the usage via NFC is not that complicated. Have used it successfully already a few times for banks, but including name information etc.
> and it takes more than 600kcal to create 600kcal plus transportation into your home
This is not a strong argument or at least a different area of discussion. Because you can say exactly the same for the electricity: you need more than the power. You need the coal+transportation, or power plant, or solar panels ...
I'm pretty sure humans are much more energy efficient ... for certain tasks ;)
Wow. This is crazy. And not only much more expensive but the standardization means you have to buy more disk if you e.g. just need more RAM or similar.
And does the standardization mean that I can no longer buy extra hardware?
1. the difference for the (public) elder care (Pflegeversicherung) is already there: a fee of 2.4% vs. 1.8% with kids (or much less with more kids). And it was now proposed to slightly increase the fee to 2.5%, i.e. +0.1%. But as it was recently increased several times (nearly every year) this is a strange suggestion and looks helpless.
2. this small increase (<1 billion €) does not fix the existing financial gap of approx 4 billions. The gap will increase a lot for the next years.
A bit off-topic, but I (as a non-native reader) find the "anti" in the name off-putting. Has it a special meaning beyond the (meta)physics or is Google just bad with naming?
This. But OP wanted special requirements to open a PR. I.e. if those requirements are not met the PR is never visible to all and so admins can reject spam PRs without giving them a platform.
