Why is such a small article being upvoted? It's basically just a definition page.

Ehhh, that's the flaw in the logic. Holding a PhD doesn't necessarily make you better at anything other than strictly the topic of the PhD (and sometimes not even that), maybe only following arbitrary orders from senior figures.

Holding a PhD at the very least means you can spend a sustained long amount of time on (potentially) intractable problems and try to arrive at solutions for them. That's a good skill to have when...you've been elected to solve problems.

Is not the average life of a non-PhD holder an equally-sustained and long amount of time spent on the intractable problem of reaching whatever incredibly complex state-of-humanity they embody?

I agree, my thinking was orthogonal to what you're saying (or the other way round).

Seeing how many politicians are utterly corrupt and ignorant cunts certainly a parliament full of people who understand the importance of facts and capable of logical thinking is not worse than career politicians mostly skilled in the game for their team, nothing else.

Yep, absolutely no feelings for that cancer of a website.

Your bias is showing.

What did they get wrong? It is natural to have biases. In fact it's necessary to even operate on a day-to-day basis. When you wake up in the morning there's an infinite number of possibilities. It's your past experiences and biases that decide each of your actions going forward.

I am showing my bias openly. Glad you were biased in that direction to notice.

Since the topic of 'Europe' has become a culture war issue (like everything), I can see that most comments here are showing a bias. You're defending OP who openly says he 'will always cheer for Mistral' regardless of objective reality. Is that not bias?

Among Americans, it appears that, if you're a college-educated white collar worker (champagne socialist), hippie degrowther, big tech alarmist, or just a left-leaning urbanism enthusiast (the current reddit/hn audience) you want the entire world to become the fantasy version of Europe you have in your head...so anything Europe does is the best thing thats ever happened, regardless of objective reality.

Or if you're the opposite, you think the EU is essentially playing out the collapse of USSR-lite in slow motion. I'd say I'm closer to this camp just looking at the financial situation, as someone actually living in the EU.

Is either position entirely rational? No.

I personally want Mistral to succeed. But this cannot happen unless we accurately assess the situation and objectively discuss the quality of their offerings compared to the alternatives, as well as the way that Europe is doing everything in its power to kill any intra-country cooperation or private sector innovation.

Yawn, just a title. People are here for the contribution of a person, not their title conferred by other people.

Yes, Mr Stewart existed.

Refreshing take, what's bad of this AI period is all the anti-AI stuff around it.

Otherwise I've never been less stressed and chill in my working life.

I'm not sure if you could share the window manager but I'd love to get a glimpse of it, as it sounds interesting!

Yap, you can do that too

Trying using a Mac on which you cannot install latest Firefox and see how your statement holds.

That's one thing Windows is generally much better at.

Firefox runs fine on High Sierra.

And before then?

Wow, how can you survive on HN I wonder? Nothing fun or not-profit-oriented must be liked by the plebs. Cmon relax, it's a fun student project.

Not what I said at all.

You're surrounded by "powerful" LLMs, just get a subscription or pay for tokens. Literally any recent LLM can do that.

man I'm broke
