This tax is not well thought but we need to tax those companies that evade taxes. Let's be creative and strong.

Thanks ! Yes, the French system is strange, it's a mess. Regionalised.

Yes it's almost constantly under heavy load from illegal LLM indexers.

You can see regional coach networks by clicking "car", it means coach bus in French.

Well he'd be proud to see the extend of the fixed routes network in France today : https://cartes.app/?style=transports#6.32/47.811/2.097

Each blue polygon is a network. Zoom to see the lines.

Of course we should do way better, and unify all that with a single ticket and single website for route planning.

So... models built by humans prefer to belong too ?

That's why Mistral is even more important than just being the only competitive european LLM builder : it's on the French grid.

Because people acclaim European competition on the LLM scene, I guess. We don't have much to show.

It's well known that every Mistral employee is a fonctionnaire. No.

What's more impressive is the datacenter used for training. It shows you can get "sub-SOTA" for one tenth of the resources of SOTA.

I have never understood why people using MicroG can use apps like SNCF-Connect, while I cannot.

SNCF-connect is the largest online marchant in France. Since june, I cannot click the "pay" button anymore. It coincides with the new feature of Pay with Google.

So : is it because MicroG allows calls to Google services on e/OS devices, while my LineageOS refuses ? Or because MicroG implemented a try catch around this call, without any call to Google's servers ?

Maybe their Mistral 4 usage spiked with the news.
