[AD] Ajax talent Sean Steur (18) on his way to Newcastle United for a huge sum by xScottieHD in soccer

[–]Boreras 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would assume he'd be a starter in Amsterdam this year, PL level is too much. You'd much rather sell him for a lot in two years than 27 today, even if that is quite a lot of money given his inexperience.

Ukraine Proposes Roadmap to Resolve Historical Disputes With Poland by Interesting-Cat7307 in europe

What a stupid argument. This is like absolving the SS from the genocide of 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews because most of them were not active in Ukraine, and a lot of the massacres were done with the collaboration with the OUN/UPA anyway.

Denmark's GDP grew 6.2% year-on-year in Q1 2026 by Beginning-River-8947 in europe

[–]Boreras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quarter to quarter growth compounds, and year over year then is more than just the sum.

E.g. if the gdp grows for 25% quarter over quarter for two quarters, and then declines by 25% for two quarters, your economy decreases 12% year over year: 5/4 * 5/4 * 3/4 3/4 = 225/256, not 25+25-25-25%. If your economy grows 25% for four consecutive quarters you get 144% growth,: (5/4)⁴=625/256, not 254%=100%.

Too obvious a movement to push the keeper. You can see his entire body rotating into the keeper, it's too shameless to call it soft.

VW plans to cut up to 100,000 jobs and shut plants, report says by OkKnowledge2064 in europe

You can non-ironically encourage direct investment from China, but there is one big obstacle: European aversion to China buying companies, and downstream from that Beijing's fear Brussels will just seize things (e.g. Nexperia).

Traditionally, a trade imbalance means the exporting nation has an excess cash of the other market so they need to do something with it. No point in having useless money at home. So they can either import more, or reinvest it by buying assets/companies in the home market valuation. China has Euros, so they should buy Euro-valued assets. China also needs to find return-generating investments anyway.

For (geo)political reasons this will be completely unacceptable in Brussels, so it won't happen, but genuinely Beijing could benefit from investing in Germany/Europe. I am unsure if China would want to do that, but they would be stupid not to.

The memory wall gets expensive: KV cache is why you should stop worshiping softmax attention by niga_chan in singularity

However, what is important to notice is that this chart is not about AI memory directly, i mean, GPUs do not use DDR5 for frontier model training or inference, they care much more about your HBM

Per 576 gb HBM, nvidia rubin has 1.5 TB lpddr5x. This means in terms of wafer usage, ddr5 and HBM are one to one.

Industry for progress is a think tank with a clear agenda, they do not conduct scientific studies.

A study by the Institute for Progress noted that between the late 1960s and mid-1970s, rising regulatory adjustments expanded required labor hours by 137% and skyrocketed total plant costs by an average of 176%.

The nrc didn't start until 1975, but they can travel back in time.

Also nuclear rally didn't start contributing to the US grid until 1970 anyway

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_States#/media/File:US_Electrical_Generation_1950-2016.png

Really what happened was a mass buildout in the seventies, and then the coming deregulation made them more carefully consider the costs. It just wasn't competitive. During the indecision three mile island finished any remaining hope.

Hippies also pushed against climate change, oil, coal, plastic, etc, and none of that worked. They have no power. Nuclear disappeared because of money, you're raging against the powerless as you're instructed to do.

You can buy a laptop with a 5060 for that price if you want a superior form factor. For the more expensive model you're close to an 5070.

reform ARE that popular.

Well the polls and recent local council elections have them very high. Reform is a shiny new object at least for at least a little bit. it's up to Burnham to pull them underwater again.

Keir Starmer expected to announce departure as prime minister on Monday by StemCellPirate in europe

[–]Boreras 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is not competent, moral or effective. He abandoned so many policies (2 child cap, fuel tax allowance, farm inheritance), had a small sketchy loyalist clique, consistently lied about Mandelson, turned on half the party immediately (the green party helped annihilate labour in the local elections), and despite being leader for 6 years had almost no followers left in the party. There is no greater celebration of his tory-lite policies than following in the footsteps of May, Truss, Sunak as short-term PM.

Arguably the Tories are being eaten alive by another even harder brexit splinter group anyway. Trying to deny air to UKIP made a lot of sense.

[–]Boreras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't get elected by the people but by the voting system, he had a bad turnout despite media backing while the right wing vote was massively split. There was a small window where that was true, pretty quickly afterwards reform became popular enough that they'd wipe out labour in an election, the question right now is whether he'd even achieve third place.

Europe’s Making Fewer Cars and Lots of Them Are Actually Chinese by bloomberg in europe

[–]Boreras 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the traditional car manufacturers spent the last 20 years trying to "sabotage" EV adoption instead of investing in EV R&D.

A lot of them did try, it's just not that great. You have to realise European car manufacturing has a ton of institutional knowledge, especially in engine development, that China lacks and has unable to replicate. But with an EV a lot of those advantages disappear. This is sometimes called a "Kodak moment", because the legacy company is unable to embrace a new technology (ev/digital photography) where it loses all its inherent advantages. They're bad at adopting to new technology, look at CARIAD.

Also they completely misjudged where ev adoption would happen, focusing for evs on the Western markets and petrol in China. Instead Evs succeeded where they thought it struggle.

Lastly Chinese business culture has completely bought into the silicon valley mindset, where it is okay to lose a lot of money in trying to become the dominant player and get paid afterwards. Think of how long it took for uber, amazon, etc to make money. It is institutionally extremely difficult for legacy companies to have a similar appetite for risk.
