Yet another upgrade of my sim racing setup :) Need to add some bass shakers and maybe button boxes and it will be done. Not sure about done tho, it's never ending story :D – at Krakow, Poland

All for petty gains…
The kings of their small castles, unwilling to unify.
People keep shitting on Brussels leadership for issues in Europe.
In my experience so far it’s member states and parliament that come up with hurdles and insane clauses that renders europe wide fixes useless.
Usually because of status quo lobbists or incentives to never change anything m.
No idea where @euacchq got this file from, as this stuff in usually not leaked, but to read for yourself.
(And council doesn’t even come up with the really crazy change requests, Parliament does.)
PS: welcome to my hell lol.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we have managed to get the @EUCouncil ' EU Inc files. The ones that matter. The ones where we see the position of Each Member state: including who pushed the notaries' agenda.
Buckle up and Repost. 🍿 Now if you are from those Member States, make some noise.
Directly or through associations, politicians. Enjoy the thread 🧵 1/

It would be very wise for author to learn a thing or two about some laws/theories of economics. Beginning with Baumol's cost disease.
TLDR; Whatever doesn't scale with technological progress, gets more expensive. Goods got super cheap to produce thanks to tech, and price goes down, education and healthcare are as productive per labor hour as they used to be 50 years ago. While demand only grew.
So it all has almost nothing to do with private/public sector debate. I would argue, if we're talking education and healthcare in US, because of criminal private insurance/healthcare lobbying, it only got worse.
These numbers are much healthier compared to US and more affordable in all the developed world but US.
Still more, comparatively, expensive than before, because of the cost disease mentioned, but not as much. (especially healthcare, as it got more productive, albeit not as much as toys/cars/tvs/microwaves etc. that are dirty cheap now)

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.
Rooting for Mistral as always, so this one hurts a bit :) But only a bit as 11Labs are European (with US Inc) :P
Almost nobody in EU speaks English as first language, so accented English is literally home market for European lab. Hope next Voxtral climbs this board tho.
Accent mostly disappears when you sing.
So until speech-to-text catches up, I'm singing to voice assistants :D
Speech-to-text is solved. Unless you have an accent.
Over 1 million people from 180 countries have spent 580,000 hours speaking with Fluently AI tutors while learning a new language.
Nearly all of them have an accent, and transcribing their speech is still hard.
So we benchmarked streaming speech-to-text systems on spontaneous, accented English from our learners. Leaderboard and methodology in the thread.
English is the easy one. Our learners study 14 other languages too.
Working on tough speech problems? DMs are open.

Oh my, another idiot take that just won’t die. The Europeans are not funding Russia’s war. They started from a deep structural dependency on Russian energy and have made tremendous — and fast — progress on decoupling. This isn’t something you just turn off overnight. And they still contribute far more to Ukraine in aid anyway.
In contrast, the US is not even remotely dependent on Russian fossil fuels and yet the Kremlin asset in the White House is easing sanctions anyway while completely shutting off aid.
Contrary to the braindead takes of Trump apologists, the hypocrisy runs squarely through Washington, not Brussels.
In case you were wondering who was funding Russia's war on Ukraine, the EU is the number 1 purchaser of Russia's liquid natural gas and pipeline gas products through September 2026.energyandcleanair.org/august…
I'm all for controlled migration (I'm migrant myself > become a citizen), but most of the Muslim country immigrants are problem, not the solution.
Bring in slavs, East Asians and other non Muslim, yet highly adaptable ppl, skip the problematic ones, or make sure their applications are spotless. Eg real doctors and engineers or rich...
Also, limit migration so we have exactly 0 population growth. We don't need more cheap labor, that trickles down badly on lower class citizens. We need to grow while paying normal wages, not by squeezing working class people for no reason. That's not productivity, that's abuse.
Also, if you want to get ppl from Muslim countries, bring in women, they're non aggressive, also oppressed there, so will appreciate our societies much more, and, for sure, will not become a criminals.
And let's hope our governments already understand that. I'm sure Polish ones do.
Чувак навалил базы.
站在今天看，俄罗斯这波操作，属于手握着一把天胡的牌打得稀烂。
如果不出兵乌克兰，今天全球AI的牌桌上，除了中美，大概率真得坐着一个俄罗斯。
搞AI、跑大模型，底层逻辑就是“吃电、散热、堆机器”。这两年全世界的数据中心老板都在为电费和机房降温发愁。俄罗斯属于老天爷喂到饭：西伯利亚开窗就是纯天然顶级空调；境内水电、核电、天然气很便宜，当年挖矿的都选西伯利亚。
另外俄罗斯人的数学和算法也强，各大国际编程竞赛，Kaggle机器学习竞赛常被俄国人屠榜。全世界除了中美，俄罗斯也搞出了自己完整的互联网生态：搜东西有Yandex，社交有VK，还有Telegram。现在在美股被炒上天的算力黑马Nebius，核心班底就是原先Yandex那帮俄罗斯人。
如果疫情后俄罗斯出地皮、出冷气、出便宜电，再拉着中国这种基建狂魔帮忙拉高压电网、建厂房、铺光纤，欧美资本开服务器工厂。俄国人完全可以成为欧亚大陆最大的“超级算力工厂”，中美神仙打架，它在中间两头收过路费。
结果呢？普京一拍大腿：不行，我得去抢那几块地。
普京的脑子，彻底停留在了19世纪沙皇俄国那种“开疆拓土”的旧梦里。什么有没有出海口啊，有没有所谓的军事缓冲带啊，就算抢方法也多的是，这可这是21世纪啊！现在的世界霸权争夺，抢的是半导体供应链，抢的是先进算法，抢的是高精尖人才。你去顿巴斯抢了几片烂泥地、几座废弃钢铁厂，代价却是把整个国家的未来都押了上去。
枪声一响，一切全崩了。稍微有点本事的程序员、算法工程师，连夜跑路。Yandex核心技术团队，宁可巨亏，惨烈的断尾求生、割裂母国，也要跑到欧洲重组成Nebius。普京把最懂未来的人，全逼成了难民和海外创业者。
在人工智能技术爆发的黎明前夜，全世界都在疯狂狂飙算力、抢占新工业革命的门票；而俄罗斯的老大，却带着几十万人，在泥潭里打着一百年前的一战式堑壕战。
再说一遍，普京不行，国内崇拜普京的那帮人也不行
For small startups to robust scale-ups, I absolutely agree with this one. Unsure about bigger companies tho.

@danshipper on the best team structure in the AI-era
This is actually very important thing to remember when looking at Mistral models.
I hope their next iterations on top of Chonk will get closer to current SOTA quickly. Now it's more or less like Opus 4.7 (depends on the task).
Having European Opus 4.8/5.5 at the fraction of cost while 4-8 months later is pretty amazing given the compute gap.
72% of the intelligence with 3.8% of the GPUs.
Just to show how talented @MistralAI team is: this shows the "intelligence per GPU" ratio.
- Mistral 4: 3,800 Grace Blackwell (published) 🇫🇷
- GPT-6 Astra: 100,000+ Grace Blackwell (published)
- Grok 4.7: ~200,000 GPUs (estimate)
- Claude Opus 5.5: ~500,000 Trainium2 (estimate)
Proud!

Watch the EU Notary Lobby celebrate amendments by @EP_Legal rapporteur MEP @repasi to EU Inc.
The Notary Lobby: "Repasi’s amendments go fully into the right direction." (art 14, etc)
Instead of a 48-hour digital setup, EU Inc is about to get all the red tape it was designed to fix.
Against the wills of Europeans. Against the spirit of EU Inc.
Watch it. Repost to stop the crippling of EU Inc.
Speak up. We need a notary-free EU Inc.

A kid who knows how to raid in WoW is unironically a better hire than 99% of non gamers. They develop team skills, coordination, leadership, how to master the respect of 40 people, how to share loot, maintaining a raid schedule, showing up on time, clear direct communication, how to get along with unique personalities, creating and executing on strategies, failing and trying again (perseverance), delayed gratification, etc. Invaluable skills are developed during raiding that are transferrable to the real world.
Very good thread. I think, solution is pretty simple. Make it super hard for those in top 10, while make it easier for everyone in the bottom.
Boom! You have a best of both worlds. Immigration that helps economy and gives some time to adjust to new low birth reality, while not screwing up your security.
You have the data, act upon it ffs.
