Great report! At the elite tier of AI engineering, European compensation is no longer competitive. → DeepSeek "Yao Class" intern: $19k/month → ByteDance equivalent: $26k/month → Senior engineer in a Western European tech hub: ~$9k/month

holy shit there’s no way the UK is actually this poor

@markgadala @charliebcurran @StevieMac03 @maxescu @techhalla @fatfilmsparody @Diesol @awesome_visuals @GORMTHEOLD25 @OrctonAI @TheChroniclerH needs to be on this list

A short list of some of the best AI content creators on X. @charliebcurran @StevieMac03 @maxescu @techhalla @fatfilmsparody @Diesol @awesome_visuals @GORMTHEOLD25 @OrctonAI

@HealthRanger You said you're working on an article that has some theories why they're building many data centers. What happened to it?

Yep Ann covered this in great details. Hard-hitting report here:

This is eye-opening. A fast food job in the US pays significantly more than AI developer jobs in France or Germany, which have higher salaries than most other European countries. Europeans simply don’t notice how poor they become compared to others. Choices have consequences.

If Claude tells me one more time cutting the discussion short, "get some rest and go to bed" at 6 PM....

@WallStreetApes getorvo.com/learn/european…

New report shows the UK is poorer than every state in the United States A study by the Institute of Economic Affairs found that the UK's GDP per capita ranks 51st when compared to individual US states This means the UK is poorer than every single US state in terms of GDP This is a sharp contract to a public perception survey, where voters guessed the UK would rank 7th among US states They’re just digging themselves deeper and deeper with immigration and welfare for their immigrants

@SawyerMerritt you need to have the car for more than 72 months to be worth the one time payment? Why is this such a big deal

Tesla is ending one-time FSD purchases across Europe on May 21, 2026. This includes the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, and others. You have two weeks to buy FSD outright before it's gone forever and switches to a subscription model. One-time FSD purchases end in the Netherlands on May 15, 2026.

Cold reality check for indie SaaS founders: most "PMS marketplaces" and "integration directories" you assume are open are actually paid placements. Built a working integration with [PMS]? Cool. That gets you nothing. The marketplace listing is a separate commercial conversation that often involves rev-share or upfront fees. Wish someone had told me that before I sent four polite emails.

@Pulsex_Farm @Eng_china5 😆😆😆

@Eng_china5 Now people in California can have a better home. Thank you China.

Chinese-made tents outperform similar products worldwide. They support internal wood stoves for heating, are extremely durable—even strong impacts don’t affect them—and can be set up easily and quickly.

@leftcurvedev_ What can I use on my 9070XT 16gb. I tried the latest gemini but didn't seem to work well, no idea how to tweak ollama to get qwen to work. :(

I’m doing these for the people in the trenches like me, those without a datacenter at home We don’t see enough benchmarks using quantized models, yet that’s the reality for 99% of users: a single GPU or even an older computer Most benchmarks you see on X are run in full precision (which makes sense for a fair comparison), but 99% of actual users are going to run GGUF or MLX versions; because those are the ones that actually fit on their hardware I’m currently running UD_IQ3-XXS GGUF (Qwen3.6 35B and 27B) on a RTX 5080. It’s an aggressive quant, but the only realistic option for 16 GB VRAM owners. Attached a recent analysis from @bnjmn_marie that shows even Q2_K_XL is "surprisingly recommendable" with the only real downside being that it will spend more tokens for the same tasks, as shown on the graph. We're seeing much less precision loss than we used to see with previous generations at the same quant levels. Bartowski and @UnslothAI are on a crazy run and their GGUFs at lower quants are suitable for daily use today imo. If it's your only option, you don't have the choice anyway Unsloth Dynamic v2 quantizations are pure wizardry and make a massive difference, it shines in Q3/Q2. Another huge win for the lads in the trenches with limited hardware 🏆 Getting these results on a single 16 GB VRAM card with a heavily quantized model is honestly insane to me The “dumb AI” era for single-GPU users is finally coming to an end 🔥

@WallStreetApes She was World War II and read it like 11

Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar announces we have been through 11 World Wars “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked. It was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11” There have only been 2 World Wars, not 11

@trad_west_ x.com/TheChroniclerH… documented by yours truly in this Portuguese series.

One of the main reasons Portugal set sail to discover the unknown world was precisely to spread the Gospel. To find out if Prester John was real and to fight islamic dominance in the East. Modern history books constantly try to reduce the Age of Discovery to nothing more than a pursuit of gold, spices, and economic trade routes. But doing so completely ignores the absolute, fundamental driving force behind the Portuguese empire: a profound, inescapable mission to spread the Gospel. As this mission was given to the Nation at its birth in the Miracle of Ourique. From the shores of Lisbon to the coasts of Africa, Brazil, India, and all the way to Japan, Portuguese explorers sailed into th, uncharted unknown with the red Cross of the Order of Christ painted boldly on their sails. They carried fearless missionaries and priests, driven by the absolute conviction that the light of Christ needed to reach every single corner of the globe. Today, hundreds of millions of people across multiple continents bow their heads in prayer and worship the Savior because a small, deeply Catholic nation on the very edge of Europe decided to conquer the oceans for the glory of God. To leave an eternal, spiritual mark on the entire world is an unparalleled historical legacy.

@xmuse_ Tesla made the first ones probably a decade ago

Just saw this and had to share. Pompeii installed 'invisible' solar panels that look exactly like traditional terracotta tiles. They're powering lights for the frescoes in the House of Cerere and the House of the Vettii. “They look exactly like the terracotta tiles used by the Romans, but they produce the electricity that we need to light the frescoes.” — Gabriel Zuchtriegel, Director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.

@AtelierMissor_ Why build idols? No cities should accept these statues.

This 50 ft Prometheus will soon be shipped to the USA. It costs around 1 million to build. We want to build larger and larger Prometheus statues everywhere across the West.

Usually big international shops don't have a break during the day. Smaller shops, dentists, lawyer offices etc, usually take a break between 1-4 during the day. I guess you can nap if you want. It's not mandated by law to take a break, but it's also protected in a way if the owner decides to do it. It's seasonal, depends on the weather, tourists etc. In the south of Spain it happens a lot that shops, restaurants etc are closed at various times in the day.

日本からこんにちは🇯🇵👋 スペインの文化に興味がある日本人です🥰 スペイン人に質問があります🇪🇸🙋 スペインでは、お昼ご飯を食べた後にお昼寝するって本当ですか？😪💤

@Lovis_Lex What a stupid mindset, no wonder Germany it is what it is today.

Keine wohlhabende Frau wäre bereit, ihren Körper als Leihmutter zur Verfügung zu stellen. Und damit ist alles gesagt, was man über Leihmutterschaft wissen muss.

@Le_Crapaud47 x.com/TheChroniclerH… 1800s? The caravel and nao built the Portuguese empire in 1500s.

Hé les Africains ! Sur l’image de gauche, le summum du bateau français en 1790, construit avant la colonisation avec des ressources 100 % européennes. L’Europe, où les ressources sont pourtant bien moins abondantes que chez vous. Sur l’image de droite, le summum du bateau d’Afrique subsaharienne à la même époque. Le top du top de ce que vous avez pu construire sur un continent où il suffit de se baisser pour avoir accès à des ressources illimitées de toute sorte. Donc arrêtez avec votre argument de merde selon lequel, sans l’Afrique et ses ressources, les Européens ne seraient rien. Vous vous ridiculisez

@Attackontitanl4 This reads like narcissism, not faith

神様はいつだって素晴らしいお方だよ。7歳のときから、私は一度も神様を疑ったことがないんだ。イエス・キリストを心から愛している。

Nobody actually, don't know anyone famous by name. I'm sure I know some of these people mentioned in the comments if I see a picture, but nobody comes to mind. When I visited Japan there was a blue cartoon cat everywhere that had a smug smile on its face. That's all I can think off.
