Dutch moving away from US based software companies to have more ownership of the digital infrastructure is pretty similar to locking down more of their hardware infrastructure.
And that was with two seconds of googling.
You seem to be posing this as if there are only two sides, and that the Dutch (and Europe in general) don’t have their own self interests.
Many policies lately from the EU have been pushing back on both US and Chinese interests.
Dependent on the US for what?
This reads like the Dutch are protecting Dutch interests. Given the Dutch companies are integral to developing top-tier chips, I suspect they are trying to protect that industry and keep it in their country.
Probably a mixture of that and dumping products on other countries (which there have been a couple of articles regarding this happening in Europe).

I can’t tell is this is a joke playing off the Ai bubble being “17 times” larger or if you’re serious.
It could be good to layer in standard machine learning (ML), and it already does have some features (like line of best fit).
However, in today’s context AI means LLMs, and that is not a good fit due to its unpredictability.
I appreciate your positivity. This is a huge breakthrough and means that we’ll most likely continue to make this treatment better and more accessible!
Thats not even mentioning how this treatment may help us figure out how to combat other diseases.
I’m sure someone out there is running something on paper still, but that’s not how most things are run.
Additionally, unless people are legally required to do all exchanges on the public ledger (which seems highly unlikely), then you’d still end up with transactions not monitored on the public ledger.
I mean, we’re hundreds if not thousands of iterations into robotics. Hell, we’ve probably had tens if not hundreds of attempts to create humanoid robots.
This is just the current iteration of humanoid robots getting beaten up for not delivering on its promises.
You can us ssh to open up a vscode instance that is pointed at/running on another machine. But I don’t know if that works with the Web version.

There is also a tunnels extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.remote-server
How does a regular database not do that?
Either it’s tracked or its not, the medium for that tracking doesn’t really change much.
I think it’s a mixture of that and the fact that when OpenAI saw that throwing more data drastically improved the models, they thought they would continue to see jumps like that.
However, we now know that bad benchmarks were misleading how steep the improvements were, and much like with autonomous vehicles, solving 90% of the problem is still a farcry away from 100%.
For your first question, I think the average person would benefit from a simple digital currency that let’s them exchange “cash” without having to jump through a bunch of hoops. Venmo, Zelle, etc. are all proof that normal people want easy ways to pay each other.
As for your second point, I’m not sure I follow. But I assume you’re implying that crypto is better because it isn’t tied to the state?
So I’ve been reading into stable coins a lot, because I don’t understand why anyone would care about them. And what I’ve come to realize is they are a benefit to two groups:
At the end of the day, it feels like a “true” digital currency would be the better solution, but everyones jumping on Stablecoins because they’re here now and less regulated.
I think there is potential in a more cash-like digital currency, but Stablecoins seem ripe to break in some unforseen way, especially given the current administration.
Edit: Edited to fix formatting.
We definitely haven’t cracked AGI, that’s without a doubt.
But yeah, LLMs are big (I’d say really Transformers were the breakthrough). My point though was that Deep Learning is the underlying technology driving all of this and we certainly haven’t run out of ideas in that space even if LLMs may be hitting a dead end.
That’s the issue, AI right now means LLMs not deep learning/ML.
The Deep Learning/ML stuff will keep chugging along.
I think we may see an agentic AI winter, but there are so many other applications and systems that can benefit from deep learning still.
Yeah, but that doesn’t help if you can’t make apps that support the hosted services. Google is trying to have complete ownership of what runs on your phone.
There are laws about how to handle PII and potential criminal charges based on things like the Privacy Act. Meaning there are additional requirements above and beyond how people normally store data on a system.
More requirements = More chances to mess up
I can’t speak for this specific approach/system, but no. LLMs never really guarantee anything, and for translation roles like this, it’s hard to say how much help they provide. The main issue being that you now have to understand what the LLM generated before you can start fixing it and/or debugging it.
