None of these companies except Nokia and Skype were even bought out by US companies. And those two are not exactly huge losses for Europe. The entire comment is BS.

The US doesn't have that much of a lead when it comes to hardware, especially chips, and is as dependent on Europe as Europe is dependent on the US in turn. Both are dependent on Taiwan anyways.

The US has a lead on software, mostly due to an inherent advantage of having a large domestic market with mostly the same rules everywhere, whereas the European market is as big in total, but unfortunately is divided into many smaller markets with fairly large differences and cannot be captured as quickly as the US market. This gives companies which scale nearly effortlessly from a tech perspective (modern software based startups) a huge advantage in terms of the available headroom for quick, initial growth. This advantage is largely irrelevant in industries where physical stuff must be produced and which are therefore hard to scale anyway, but it is almost a guarantee for a dominant role in the realm of SAAS.

So, no - there is no other world where Europe would have bought out US companies, at least not if we talk about Google, Salesforce, Oracle, etc., and if we talk about a similarly-structured US and EU.
The author is a case study in sloppy thinking. Sure, they were wronged; they are certainly a victim here. But property was stolen and the retailer is negligently complicit in the theft. When this happens, you call the police, and your insurance company.

It missed the internet in the sense that it is near impossible to create an innovative (read: disruptive) internet company within the context of EU and member state regulations. So people don’t bother and entrepreneurs emigrate to the USA.

It looks like the EU is preparing to miss AI as well.

I'm talking about the proof length, not the length of the proposition. In CiC, you can have proofs like (for example) "eq_refl : eq <some short term that takes a very long time to compute> <some other short term that takes a very long time to compute>" (where both terms can be guaranteed to terminate before you actually execute them, so this isn't semidecidable or anything, just really slow). In other words, there exist short correct proofs that are not polynomial time to verify (where "verify" is essentially the same as type checking). So "find a proof of length n for this proposition" is not a problem in NP. You can't just say "ah but proofs that long aren't meaningful in our universe" when the proof can be short.
the fact that it was trained on ChatGPT's logs basically means it's still an "OpenAI wrapper"

Does that mean you are a wrapper of a book that you read and learned from? Am I a Kernighan and Ritchie when I wrote C because I read their book 20 years ago?

I think wrapper has a specific meaning that is not applicable. Grok isn't abstracting or an interface to ChatGPT.
TBH even the government is Communist in name only. Vietnam is furiously entrepreneurial and the government mostly gets out of the way, unless it feels threatened and then it comes down like a ton of bricks.
Of the companies you claim weren't first-movers, your counterexamples of the "real" first-movers were also US companies. This would be a more relevant argument if some EU companies were first-movers but then got "muscled out" by US late-movers that became monopolies (and an even better argument if the EU companies were impeded by EU anti-trust rulings against them). But that's not what happened, because there were no EU first-movers, nor were there any anti-trust enforcements against any would-be EU first-movers... It's like saying you lost a race because your opponents cheated, when you weren't even at the starting line.

> the US stopped enforcing its antitrust laws and gave tech companies a regulatory pass

So the EU did enforce its antitrust laws during that time, and thus stopped any EU tech companies emerging as monopolies? Can you provide an example? (In fact the only anti-trust ruling I remember from early Internet era was from the US, against Microsoft.)

Besides, has US ever considered anti-trust law in the context of the international market? Do they even have an obligation to do that? The government has a responsibility to its own citizens. And if what you say is true, that US neglecting to enforce anti-trust law facilitated US tech monopolies, then perhaps US citizens benefitted in the long term. Certainly I'd rather be a citizen of the country that's the dominant economic power than the subjugated one in decline... and it's not like those tech monopolies halted innovation in the US; on the contrary, it's thriving. The US has the highest levels of high-tech investment, the highest salaries, the latest tech...

False, actually; memorizing a copyrighted work and reproducing it other than in conditions specifically excepted from copyright protection is a violation of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder to make copies.

Copyright doesn't just apply to mechanical copies which don't have a human brain in the middle of the process.
My point exactly: the pandemic and associated events (namely, supply chain issues and massive influx of money) led to the price increases. Not "greedflation".

They are, however, habitually unwilling to investigate Postal employees in all but the most exceptional cases (and the value of the thefts is not sufficient to be exceptional).

Also the reason something can fail for any reason whatsoever is because the linux kernel cannot just decide to shut down your computer if a cosmic ray flips a bit while the cpu is reading from ram.

The reason you can write your small library is because of the work done.

Also the reason for my comment in general was the linux kernel is, in my opinion, the most used library on the planet and was and still is predominantly built on C.

Sometimes pretty APIs are not what you need. You need APIs that have been and will continue to do what needs to be done for decades
A 96-sheet notebook + a Pentel needle-point pen. I've been feeling some strong headaches lately and the doctor's requested me to stay away from screens as much as possible. I've been using the notebook and this cheap yet nice pen to write down ideas and whatever. It's been a month now and the changes in terms of creativity and mental clarity are quite noticeable.
The assertion I was refuting was that they couldn't be easily inserted into an audited library, not that they wouldn't be detected.

I use a Python library called pdfrw to take PDFs apart, notably to work with sheet music. I think when you ask it for a page, it returns the whole thing, and the PDF files that get written are still readable PDFs.

I assume that within the file structure are things that enable an internal integrity check, such as maybe checksums or CRC's, which would necessarily be different if the file contents are different.
Not OP but just going off the numbers, the US has been contributing more military aid than all other countries combined. I'm glad everyone is supporting them but a bunch of the European countries dragged their heels through the first several months of the war while the US was sending stuff by the ship load.

I get that the US is one big war machine but it's not like the EU doesn't have anything to give, they just decided that their own territorial defense was more important even though any supplies would be going towards fighting the only threatening aggressor in the region.

But for the average person, perception does influence how likely they are themselves to take part in corruption, and that in turn does influence the total amount of corruption in a country. Actual corruption is very hard to measure, so perception of corruption is a reasonable thing to research since it is in many ways "the best you can do" to get some measure of actual corruption.

You can work, you can't be part of the union. Not being a member doesn't remove any benefits the union might negotiate with the employer, you just don't have access to the perks of the union (higher income insurance is usually the most important one).

That core would be GNOME or KDE frameworks, coupled with the FreeDesktop standards, at least that was the plan about 20 years ago.

However as the site says doing distributions is what most folks keep doing, and naturally there isn't a single stack that can keep up with snowflake distributions.

In the end, Google took the Linux kernel, placed two core set of frameworks, one in Java, and the other in JavaScript, and naturally those are the winning Linux distributions for regular consumers.
I like the word "dignity". It is important that as a society, we allow people to experience dignity in their work, no matter what it consists of. This is different from the question of how much they like it and how much they get paid. All jobs, no matter what they pay, should bring sense of dignity to whoever does them (and in our current economy, most jobs should pay more than they do).

Hmm. My experience with prime shipping is exactly the opposite, but I think I must live near a distribution center.

In fact, just yesterday I ordered some vitamins for overnight delivery and they actually showed up in 3 hours, so sooner than promised.

That has happened on several occasions, and I can't recall every not getting something on time.

That's shipping.

But I do think Amazon has a serious problem with fake, incentivized reviews, and I have heard of, but not yet experienced (to my knowledge) counterfeit products.
I'm a big believer in open source software. I've had wonderful contributors and I'm using qutie a few open source libraries/components in my own apps. That's why I open sourced my own app.

I've tried many different options so I could make a living with it (ads, donations, premium features). There are definitely more ways to explore. But for now, I need to ensure that my financial situation is stable before anything else. Then, maybe in the future I'll be able to afford tinkering with a sustainable way of open sourcing.

I've also started to notice many VCs starting to invest in open source software (just today saw Godot featured on HN). So that can also be a potential route.
I know that's X's story, but why do you consider it "far, far more likely" for that to be true?
There is no fair use for copyright in Europe. That's the reason why we don't have any google here, and won't have any AI company here.

> Pedro Sánchez has more power now than the old socialist party or PP with qualified majority (mayoría absoluta) ever had because he made all institutions his particular home at his very service

These arguments are empty. The GP was claiming "Pedro Sánchez" has extremely little power as it is on a minority government and seemingly one of the smallest ones in the history of his party, all verifiable facts. You counterargue by claiming that he is making all institutions dance at his tune. This is a circular argument. How does he exactly get the power to make "institutions his particular home at his very service" if he has the least power to do so, _even less power_ than on his previous term?

I find it ridiculous that from all angles this looks like an absolutely powerless and extremely fragile do-nothing coalition (as some of the self-determination parties are as right-wing as they get, and therefore unlike to allow him to do anything even remotely left-wing), which looks to be disintegrating as we speak (if the news from my country are to believed), and yet at the same time I read claims of a "dictatorship". What is it that you see that apparently no one else in the world does?

> Therefore enumeration puts everything achievable by humans in the NP complexity.

This is a severe misunderstanding of NP. Hindley Milner type inference is worst case doubly exponential, for example, and we solve that all the time. We just happen to rarely hit the hard instances. I think the statement you're trying to make is something more along the lines of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolem%27s_paradox, which is definitely fascinating but doesn't have much to do with P vs NP. Notably, this paradox does not apply to higher order logics like CiC with more than one universe, which lack countable models (which is why your intuitions about provability may not apply there).

The manual exists for a reason. I find it much easier to type `man program` then `/whatever` until I find what I'm looking for rather than scanning the screen for the correct icon. There are also some conventions and after a while you get to a point where it's intuitive to use any new program. Just like with a GUI and icons, what does the wand do?

That's what people who gained their technical competence in a CL environment always think: we're always most productive in the interfaces we are familiar with. I'll agree that most technically competent people probably prefer using the command line for many tasks, but correlation != causation. It's really easy to mistake our own preferences for being objectively good, generally... which is why designers exist, why most user-facing commercial software doesn't require reading a single line of documentation, and why most FOSS projects-- almost entirely indifferent to or hostile towards deliberate design-- are only useful to people who have a working mental model of what's happening under the hood.

I was strictly a vim guy for a decade and a half... my coworkers occasional snicker merely steeled my resolve, but I knew I was doing the pure and efficient and technically correct thing by sticking to barebones vim. Lots of vim stuff and ex commands are beneficial to my workflow, but after a coworker convinced me to try out some more modern options with vim modes, I realized that my attachment to vim as an editor was driven by my emotional investment in how many times I struggled with vim's clunkiness. I wore it as a badge of honor. I thought it gave me cred. In reality it just showed how utterly inflexible I was. The Jetbrains editors, for example, offered more functionality out of the box than I could practically cram into my vim setup, yet was completely configurable, and the features were generally intuitive and discoverable. I didn't have to look up how to do some relatively obscure thing in ex-- there was probably a menu option for it so I just didn't have to keep it in my head. Sure, vim is and always will be my default editor for light editing, and there are obviously people whose use cases are perfectly satisfied by using it. However, assuming for years that I was more technically competent for doing intensive professional work in complex codebases using that clunky old editor was plain old self-indulgent arrogance, like most other nerd badge-of-honor things are.

I've been using command line environments daily for decades, and usually head there first to do many tasks, but many of these archaic tools only persist because of a reverse eternal-September problem. By the time someone gets technically advanced enough to start influencing how our technical environments work, the curse of expertise obfuscates their downsides and they mistake their own comfort with something for it being objectively good.
