Oh absolutely, PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard are absolutely crucial. This position allows them to leech off the entire dogital payments system in a way that does not have anything to do with their cost of operating. So an alternative doesn't hurt.
Regarding online ID: The Norwegian government websites only accept ID from Norwegian providers, and if you want to sign anything with a commercial party you'll need Norwegian BankID. Germany operates entirely on wet ink sent by snail mail. Some government websites accept ID cards, but the commercial world has not taken notice at all. I don't know where this unified European ID world is, but my guess is Theoryland and maybe Estonia and Finland.
Good that they're working on it, but man is this stuff slow. Germany's still all in on PayPal. I think the EU should just create a common solution. Oh, and create a common way to confirm identities and sign documents online. This national fragmentation is just dumb.
True, but when the salaries in the US are double or tripple that in Europe it just doesn't work out. American labs are also better equipped on average. No way Europe can compete with the US for scientific talent. The money is just not there. Our only hope is that the US voluntarily exits the competition, which seems to be what's happening.
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.
Tldr: "Ye" is pronounced identically to "the". The "th" sound used to have its own letter that somehow got to be written "y" until everyone decided that was quite silly.
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.
Is this a distraction? Is he currently purging the military and security forces of disloyal officers or something? Is there an attack on judicial independence atm? Wtfis going on?
This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won't out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping
Idk. Musk seems to have gone completely mental. Dunno what the cause is, but the man is not healthy. Not sure how much self-reflection he's capable of.
