What a fun website.

This feels like a sort of flashback to how the web used to be in some ways.

Can Europe train a frontier AI model?

It seems unlikely at the moment. The writeup you have is quite interesting, but notably distributed compute for frontier is at least a bump in the road.

As other's have pointed out, if resources across Europe came together there could be a good amount of resources today to do so, but it is fragmented.

Project Glasswing, and most recently the blocking of Fable 5 potentially only for non-US citizens have sparked more attention in the political spheres regarding sovereignty/competitiveness of European AI.

There as also this great write-up which explains the trajectory Europe currently has when it comes to AI compute here: https://europe2031.ai/

So theoretically: yes, but there doesn't seem to be a big enough will to attempt to catch up with the trajectory of American hyper-scalers.

Congrats on the launch George!

Looking forward to looking into the generalised AI memory layer when it comes out.

Also would not have expected so many posts about apache, that apache was more talked about than nginx, and that traefik is mentioned less than caddy.

Found this and found it pretty interesting.

Main finding is that hacker news has gotten pretty big, and is not very ahead of new startups. They're only really mentioned when they get quite big (I guess due to moderation), while it is somewhat ahead on tech trends.

The playground on [demin.ws/rapira](https://demin.ws/rapira/) feels well made.

This is a pretty cool historical artifact.

Does anyone use "native language" programming languages in education or day to day?

Most interesting things at events is getting to know people.

Hard to get to know people properly during a talk.

I would stay unless the plane ticket is super expensive, or there are other commitments you have to make.

I was hoping someone else had written about it here.

From my knowledge there are three different takes on git being worked on which looked interesting. - JJ - GitButler - Zed

Zed version system doesn't have that much public info yet, but they wanted to build a db for storing code versions for AI agents. Not sure if this is still the direction, and I'm a bit skeptical, but interested to see what they come up with.

Even though git works well enough, I'm certain there will be another preferred way at some point in the future. There are aspects of git that are simply not intuitive, and the CLI itself is not up to standard of today's DX.

I really like how AI opens the possibility of more performant software due to being able to write more code quicker.

I'm curious to how or if this work could be adopted by homebrew, most likely they wrote in ruby(?) since that's what they're productive in.

One approach I find interesting is if we see repos that are actually "specs" for AI to mirror in a more performant language.

I'm sure the core optimisation techniques of this could be done in ruby as well.

Definitely wouldn’t break the encryption itself.

I think the way it could work is to send a letter to each of the messaging apps saying that they are now legally required to use the EU’s encryption keys and make the messages available to the EU.

Then they would make it so that the apps that don’t comply are not available in the app stores by pressuring google and apple respectively.

I think this is the reason why for example telegram is not end to end encrypted by default - as some regions require them to be able to access users info.

Software you’re using on your own wouldn’t be effected, but wouldn’t necessarily be legal either.

People who are technically savvy could get around it, but the vast majority of people just assume that their private messages are private.

Congratulations on the launch!

Heavily evaluated better-auth when implementing auth at my current company. Ended up with keycloak because of SAML SSO.

One thing I remember having some issues with was customising schemas with the drizzle adapter. Looks like you've cleared up the documentation more now. I think at the time I was confused as to wether custom schemas were specified in the drizzle adapter options, or inside the the organization plugin.

Basically mixing up these two: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/plugins/organization#custom... https://www.better-auth.com/docs/adapters/drizzle#additional...

Thanks for all your work, it is a really cool library!

This website is impressive. It's almost more apple than apple.

Are pages like this typically "storyboarded", then designed in framer (or another tool) and from there the code is generated, or how does it work?

People do amazing things with pure CSS, but this seems beyond what is sensible without some sort of tool to make the job a bit easier.

How’s firefox these days?

On a serious note - I’ve seen a lot of browser startups lately.

Are there any of them that really stand out?
