Pro Tip: if your complex DB queries are so frequent that caching in redis helps, You're Doing It Wrong.
Any DB can return static answers to simple queries quickly. If your queries are complex and slow, that probably means you're generating dynamic data too, as intermediate or final results, using temporary tables, etc. If these results are cacheable, and caching is making a difference, that means they're not really very dynamic. Which means you've modeled your data wrong.
LB: if there ever was a subject where "Do nothing. Win." applies, it is AI.
Europe should absolutely let the US and China compete to get the most powerful AI possible (well, ideally for the planet they wouldn't, but you get the idea) while keeping investing in people and reliable infrastructures and ways to survive climate change. It is one of the only ways it could stay relevant in the world to come.
But of course it won't do it, because our politicians are ignorant and/or corrupt, just like everywhere else.
(Edit: grammar/clarity)
I have very conflicting feelings about this :D
Here's a strange situation:
thousands of #Rust developers use #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy-regex every single day — tools I wrote, maintain, and improve for free.
Their companies, though? None of them want to hire their author.
If you use my tools at work and your company does #Rust, I'd really appreciate a hand landing a job or freelance mission. A boost goes a long way. 🙏🦀
GPT‑NL: a sovereign language model for the Netherlands https://www.tno.nl/en/digital/artificial-intelligence/gpt-nl/
GPT‑NL is funded by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. A total of €13.5 million has been allocated to the project. This public investment underlines the importance of an independent, trustworthy and future‑proof Dutch language model.

With GPT‑NL, TNO - together with SURF and the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI) is building an independent Dutch language model and ecosystem. This strengthens the digital autonomy of the Netherlands and Europe, and provides a solid foundation for responsible AI applications.
