but Project Prometheus has already hired 100 employees, poaching several from firms like OpenAI, DeepMind and Meta, according to the Times.
I think that one problem with all this spending is that there are only so many people with relevant experience in the area. If wages are high enough, the market will send more over time, but that isn't instantaneous.
/r/Europe used to have a "no title editorialization" rule. There might be some sense to having it here as well.
Maybe it's a bad translation of something that approximates "junk food" in French?
The head of Swiss chemicals producer Clariant said the company would expand capacity in China and warned of “more production shifting away from Europe” because of the continent’s higher energy and labour costs.
I can believe high labor costs in Switzerland, but Switzerland is a country that I think of when I think of having a ton of hydropower, like Norway and Austria. I wouldn't have thought that they'd be impacted much by fossil fuel transition. Might be that they're selling hydropower to neighbors or something.

According to this, it actually has fairly expensive electricity.
Despite its abundant hydropower resources, Switzerland's electricity prices remain among the highest in Europe, causing distress for both residential and commercial consumers.
The drivers behind these elevated costs are multifaceted, encompassing renewable energy investments, energy market price fluctuations, and emissions reduction regulations.

According to this, all Lunar Lake CPUs have 4 performance and 4 economy cores, and none have a single core.
I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.
I carry a ~300 Wh power bank with my laptop.

They also have a less-elaborate, smaller, lighter, less-expensive ~200 Wh model that's probably more actually-practical:

Note that you can't take anything over 100 Wh on a flight in the US. I also have a 100 Wh power bank that I keep around for flights.
At this juncture, I would like to point out that the display name of OP is "Billy472", but that his actual account name is "Vova@lemmy.sdf.org", which is a Russian short form of "Vladimir".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir
Vladimir (Russian: Влади́мир, Bulgarian: Владими́р, pre-1918 orthography: Владиміръ) is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, widespread throughout all Slavic nations in different forms and spellings.
In Russian, shortened and endeared versions of the name are Volodya (and variants with diminutive suffixes: Volod'ka, Volodyen'ka, Volodechka etc.), Vova (and diminutives: Vovka, Vovochka, etc.), Vovchik, Vovan.
Markdown normally unwraps wrapped text to facilitate working with already-wrapped text.
In Markdown, you need two lines for a paragraph break. If you want to just have a line break, you can have a trailing two spaces or backslash at the end of a line.
Ex:
paragraph
break
produces
paragraph
break
And:
line << two spaces here
break
produces
line
break
And:
line\
break
produces:

What that means to someone is up to them. Some users on here do not like the US at all, for example, and they might be delighted to be using a Serbian company instead of a US company. That's not my position, but I've no doubt that it's a perspective for some. I have mentioned Kagi in the past favorably, and simply want people to understand, as best as I can, what using Kagi entails.
EDIT: For users who might be in the US, though, and not familiar with the political structure in Europe today, while Serbia is in Europe, it is not
presently
in the EU, and isn't subject to the kind of data privacy laws or legal/judicial regimen that one might expect of companies in the EU.
That's fair -- it necessarily extends trust, and at the least you'd want them to be liable for false advertising.
I did go digging directly as a result of your comment, and I did find that it looks like Kagi operates at least in part, if not in whole, from Serbia. They have a San Francisco mailing address...but it's just basically a mailbox.
For me, at least, that's a concern; I've posted here on the matter to make others aware. I don't know if it'd be enough to stop me from using them, but it certainly does make me reconsider how much weight I'd be willing to place on statements the company makes about its privacy policy, and what their practical legal liability is if they're making inaccurate statements about their privacy practices.
I’m more upset I didn’t think of it first.
Maybe nobody's done Muhammad and Buddha yet.
Looks like non-functional 2006 Mac Pros are on eBay for $60. Cheaper than an office chair!
