Possibly. Issue is the kind of reactors that are typically employed in submarines and on aircraft carriers are not necessarily the ones we want for civilian uses, but the temptation to use the civilian program as a training ground for military stuff is huge, for economic reasons. I think nuclear energy would be far more advanced if it wasn’t shackled to the pressurized water designs.

After the Russo-Ukrainian war began the Greens have really done a 180 on this sort of stuff, so I wouldn’t count on it.

The headline says Germany is replacing the US as security guarantor. Clearly it’s more nuanced, as you point out.

No nukes - no guarantees.

A lot. So much European investment has been flowing into the USA for the last couple of decades because that’s where the best returns are.

Well, Intel tried with OneApi. As for AMD they go 5 minutes between every time they shoot themselves in the foot. It’s unbelievable to watch.

If it wasn’t Trump I’d agree. However, getting Palantir involved sounds less like unifying databases than creating a social credit score-kind of system, complete with political opinions and other kinds of sensitive data

I hate Orban so much wtf

Enshitification is a consequence of legalized dumping. Companies are allowed to dump loss-making profucts and services on the market until they achieve dominance, then they squeeze the users that now have nowhere else to go. In startup-lingo this is blitzscaling followed by monetization. Our competition laws are 30 years behind the curve on this stuff.

Depends what’s in the landfill. Anything that rots is definitely the business of the rest of the neighborhood. But if it doesn’t smell, make noise, or gets blown ower property lines, then yes, it’s none but the owner’s business.

Ollama is apparently going for lock-in and incompatibility. They’re forking llama.cpp for some reason, too. I’d use GPT4All or llama.cpp directly. They support Vulkan, too, so your GPU will just work.
