Seeing the number of cars in predicaments due to the snow in #Helsinki today is a good reminder that cars in themselves are perhaps more sensitive than bikes to winter conditions.
We’re just accustomed to such high levels of winter road maintenance for motor vehicles here that it isn’t noticed.
If you slip into a snow wall with your bike, you don’t need a showel to free it.
@jhilden I'm a terrible person but I can't help giggle when I see a car trapped in the snow, requiring serious pushing uphill by multiple people. Happens all the time in smaller streets in #Kallio like Harjukatu.
I'm skeptical of the announcement from Ursula von der Leyen on the use of EU supercomputers by AI startups.
AFAIK they are not clusters of H100s / TPUs. It's not even close to be competitive infrastructure for training LLMs. LUMI for example runs on AMD MI250X GPUs.
Xavier Niel invests €200 million to create a French AI lab to be run by a nonprofit foundation, and purchasing an Nvidia DGX SuperPOD, equipped with 1016 H100s.
At least it will be more efficient than having to train LLMs on #LUMI ...
