EU has Horizon Europe a research and innovation program. And some smaller ones. https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls_en

EU also building the world’s biggest ground laser telescope in cooperation. https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/vlt/

The issue with EU is that there are so many countries involved that getting everyone on the same page is slow process and with changing local governments projects can be easily abandoned as priorities shift.

Starlink is a SpaceX subsidiary.

The operation, which ran from the beginning of April through the end of August, resulted in the arrest of 41 people and the takedown of 1,037 servers and other infrastructure running on 22,000 IP addresses.

I think this dude forgot that US president can now legally command military to assassinate American citizens. Fall from balcony incoming?

Bleeping Computer also talked to Greppy (or Grep), who indicated a new hacking group called ICA had been formed. One which doesn’t extort cash from companies if they admit being breached within 48 hours.

When the bad guys are doing better stress testing on the systems…

I’m waiting until they open source the code and apps.

On Monday, Robert Wood, US deputy ambassador to the UN, slammed the North’s advancing ballistic missile programme and said Russia and China were preventing the UN from holding Pyongyang to account. Beijing and Moscow “have repeatedly shielded the DPRK, contributing to the normalisation of these tests and emboldening the DPRK to further violate this Council’s sanctions and resolutions,” he said, referring to the North by its official name.

You mean they are doing exactly the same as you always do, but when anyone else does it, it’s bad. Damn hypocrites…

The only movie I ever gave 10/10. It’s not the best, far from it, but the idea of it is incredible. To this day I haven’t heard of any other movie that explores it this way. I’m sure if I would to rewatch it today my score would be lower, but at the time I have seen it, it left a huge impression.

I meant more of the whole approach of designing chips with efficiency as a top priority which means they get the best performance they can within their efficiency targets, which is always more optimal than users tinkering on their own. Efficiency and performance are kind of different sides of the same coin.

True, though it’s worth noting that AMD focus efficiency means that there isn’t a lot of extra performance you can get from their modern CPUs with overclocking.

It’s about code optimization and efficiency. Most assembly code these days just relies on compilers for optimization as hand optimizing is extremely time-consuming work.

Sadly, Intel takes another loss here.

There is an issue, though: Intel disabled AVX-512 for its Core 12th, 13th, and 14th Generations of Core processors, leaving owners of these CPUs without them.

Interesting, though not very straightforward to use. Legend alone is not very useful, you need to look at the chart to get a full picture.

Good riddance.

It’s an outdated list at this point but see https://www.smh.com.au/technology/every-app-that-apple-has-tried-to-kill-20160202-gmjhh2.html

Apple either buys and then silently kills them or just steals developers from them and then bullies them into breaking their NDAs and stealing the tech.

What a fucking waste…

We know how this goes…

Based. And the fact that 8 judges resigned on the spot just proves the corruption is real.

It’s not perfect, but direct democracy is a lot better than alternative.
