Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang criticized Germany's lag in future technologies. While Huang pointed to German talent and technical know-how, he saw the problem in Europe's tendency to overthink projects. Boeminghaus reacted sarcastically to the notion that such concerns were a fairytale. At the same time, Boeminghaus referred to a planned collaboration between Nvidia and the German government, according to Handelsblatt. This involves investments of several hundred million euros in industrial AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and open AI models. The partnership is scheduled to be presented on October 19 in Berlin; the Nvidia developer conference GTC is set for October 20 to 22. https://t.co/pQ0vPFd1rX #Deutschland #Technologie #KünstlicheIntelligenz (translated)

Austrian Science Minister Eva-Maria Holzleitner has announced that the university budget for the years 2028 to 2030 will amount to around 16 billion euros, which, when adjusted for purchasing power, represents a significant cut and has led to criticism from the Conference of Universities. #Universitäten #Budgetkürzung #GewaltinFrankreich (translated)

Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the BSW, together with the AfD, pushed for a motion in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt for diplomacy and an end to the sanctions against Russia. She said that this marked the first time a German parliament has called for peace negotiations, an end to escalation, and a stop to the billions in aid to Kyiv. Wagenknecht described the motion as the fulfillment of a key campaign promise of the BSW. The party rejects the firewall and aims to use majorities in the state parliament to improve people's lives through substantive cooperation with all democratically elected forces, she wrote. She intends to discuss the next steps in Saxony-Anhalt with Claudia Wittig, the deputy chairwoman of the BSW parliamentary group in Magdeburg. #Frieden #Diplomatie #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

The author wrote that Berlin receives billions from the state financial equalization but has never contributed itself. In the event that a new coalition plans expensive experiments there, the other states should not bear the costs again. Therefore, he demanded that the state financial equalization be changed. https://t.co/hZYS2cqajr #Länderfinanzausgleich #Berlin #Koalition #DE (translated)

Furkan Yildirim wrote that he had simulated more than 700,000 grid trading bots for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, gold, and oil in the past few days. He had analyzed 1.4 million candles with fees, funding, and liquidations, and had calculated more than 9 billion candles in total. He examined which settings in futures grid bots determined profit or liquidation. The results were intended to show, among other things, what effect a commonly discussed setting in tutorials had in the simulation, how to calculate an appropriate trading range, and why a certain bot was more dangerous than others. From the data, he also developed a tool that calculates settings for individual markets. Yildirim referred to raw data with 205,686 lines in a file and asked whether he should record a video of the results and the tool on the same day. #GridTrading #Kryptowährungen #FuturesTrading (translated)

GFrei.News reported that the planned flooding of the lignite mining areas of Hambach and Garzweiler is deliberately destroying the German economy and ending 100 years of affordable energy security. Plans from 1977 and 1995 had intended to fill exhausted open-pit mines with water from the Rhine and to renature them. Now, the approval for lignite mining is being revoked, although, according to the author, there is still enough coal there to supply Germany for another 100 years. Lignite is almost as cheap as nuclear power and is also used for briquettes, lignite dust, and fluidized bed coal, wrote GFrei.News. A fast-track approval process has been initiated for flooding the mining areas still containing coal, and the construction of a 45-kilometer long pipeline has begun at a high three-digit million amount. By 2030, this will destroy a resource wealth worth around 1 trillion euros, according to the author. A later resumption of mining would take decades and be too expensive. GFrei.News referred to the flooding as the permanent destruction of energy security and fuel worth 1 trillion euros. The excavator 293 will also be decommissioned: the vehicle weighs more than 14,000 tons, is 225 meters tall, and is the largest land vehicle in the world. It has been in operation for 30 years and is a symbol of German engineering and national pride, the author wrote. GFrei.News accused the state of "state terrorism against its own people" and wrote that the consequences would be far worse than the explosion of NordStream. The author hoped that the AfD would come to power in time to prevent the plans. #Energiewende #Braunkohle #Energiesicherheit (translated)
