Yeah, that CV could also use some colors, spacing, and typography to visually highlight key facts.

oops. fixed. thanks :)

Let me pre-empty the "why?" questions:

I work on A LOT of highly sensitive code, usually in manufacturing, automation, or robotics. It's basically impossible for a small company like mine to get a custom exemption from the company-wide NDAs that my clients usually require everyone to sign. These guys wouldn't touch a US cloud, so they surely would never approve US-based LLM agents.

But I also don't want to completely forfeit the convenience of using LLMs for boilerplate or simple refactorings. That's why this plugin is designed to also work in air-gapped environments. It only connects to http://127.0.0.1:8081 and the source code is few enough that you can audit this.

I find it fascinating to see how much power Germany's "digital sovereignty" initiative has gained. In the beginning, it looked like yet another government thingy that nobody will use. But by now, they must be well above 100k government employees using it daily.

Also, in case you missed that: StackIt is the AWS / G Cloud competitor by LIDL: https://www.stackit.de/en/ It's the basebone for their app strategy with 100 mio+ client installs and about 500k employees.

Every time this happens Microsoft either threatens to move out or promises to move in with a chunk of their operation. Blackmailing with jobs has been very effective for them.

I think that strategy might be running out of steam though, before these projects seemed to have more commercial reasons or just pushing the idea of openness, but sovereignty is a much stronger ideal and much more likely to be the one that will weather the blackmail.

Yeah but what is different now is that the US is run by unpredictable lunatics. It's not really just about Microsoft anymore.

And the more important thing is just how much damage those lunatics can do through Microsoft using American laws -- even current ones, much less new ones. Microsoft would be a mostly helpless puppet in this entire exchange; a cat’s paw, as it were.

Yes, given how fast Amazon and Apple rolled over it's clear they don't stand a chance. It's not like they can teleport Seattle out of the USA if they had to.

I wonder how big a fraction of the US tech and Military industry realizes that Trump is killing their business for the next century.

Let's hope they will still allow me to use Kagi to search for the product I want to buy.

The official Amazon search is so bad and deliberately pushes "promoted" or overly expensive products to the top that I would say it's only a matter of time until someone reverses the enshittification by building a 3rd party Amazon client. And it looks like that's precisely what Perplexity did here: They offer an agent that works for you, not for Amazon. And, predictably, Amazon hates it. It reduces their power to strong-arm brands into purchasing advertisements for their own product names.

Searching with site:amazon.com has always been the only useful way to find the thing you actually wanted.

Well, that is if you use a real, functional search engine

Which is your default choice?

Thanks

„I trust you that you have proof-read this“ and then just merge. When production explodes, their name will be all over „git blame“.

„Nvidia to invest up to $1B in AI startup Poolside“

Let me predict tomorrow’s headline: NVIDIA‘s revenue grows by yet another $1B, because Poolside just ordered $1B worth of NVIDIA AI accelerator cards.

Oh, wow. I'd like to already predict that this is going to become a talking point in the EU.

"Nicknames: Temu Obama" (and others)

"Heroes: Anyone who identifies as a radical leftist. Transnational gangs, illegal immigrants"

You want your allies and partners to be honorable and reliable. Allowing this content to remain on a presumably reputable government website long enough for people to talk about it, leaves a rather sour impression. *.gov was supposed to represent all of the American people.

And that "trumprx.gov" advertisement on the top just ticks off my fraud detector. But, apparently, it is a legit government project.

Just because it’s a legit government project, doesn’t mean it isn’t also fraud. Given the current administration, I’d assume it was both until proven otherwise.

Both "trumprx.gov" and “Trumpcard.gov” said they were created by the National Design Studio which points to https://americabydesign.gov.

Cringeworthy Quote:

     The same way a hotelier anticipates the needs of their guests.  This is the hospitality design for our nation.   This is President Trump going bigger than President Nixon.

> This is President Trump going bigger than President Nixon.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. If only.

Yay to living in the EU! Since I would be allowed to get a full purchase-price refund if they'd try to pull this shit in the Europe, they limited the new "Cover-Screen-Widget" to only activate within the US.

I know, I know, I suffer daily from government overreach ;) But have you tried lobbying for your fellow humans?

Europoors seething they can't afford ad-ridden fridges. /s

Wow! So creativity! Oh my! What an example:

This AI-powered slop generation app will generate other AI-powered slop generation apps.

Really? For your "collaborative AI assistant to design, iterate, and scale full-stack applications" you couldn't think of any better use-case than wrapping a thin web UI around an existing API endpoint for AI image generation? And the "Make changes on the fly" iPad screenshot doesn't show any change being applied. That's seriously low-effort marketing.
