Tyskland i stagnation, Spanien i vækst: Turisme, grøn energi og især migration driver Spaniens succes. 600.000 nye tilflyttere årligt holder arbejdsmarkedet og forbruget i gang – og viser hvor afgørende indvandring er for økonomien. #tysk #tyskpol www.n-tv.de/wirtschaft/S...
Spaniens Wirtschaft brummt - und die deutsche nicht
Deutschlands Wirtschaft stagniert, doch in Spanien geht es aufwärts. Dafür gibt es mehrere Gründe. Eine zentrale Ursache: Zuwanderung.

The last time German troops were on Lithuanian soil was in 1944, under Nazi occupation—a dark chapter marked by horrific crimes, especially in Vilnius.
Today, the story is profoundly different. We return not as occupiers, but as allies—welcomed with open arms by a free and democratic Lithuania.

Open source LLMs are the future
Meta's bet: the open-source LLMs are like the open system of Microsoft in the 80s, while proprietary LLMs like ChatGPT are like Mac in the 80s. Key question: how valuable are complementor-users like academia, who need published weights like in Llama and will buy Nvidia GPUs? My (biased) sense: very.
