Indeed.

The EU grants are ridiculously red tapey. Companies have entire departments dedicated to the red tape that European grants require, from the initial participation / auction with hundreds or thousands of pages of documentation, through various stages of thorough checkbox ticking, to the final reception of the project.

Only the usual players with well established "EU Funds" departments can realistically get them, such as Accenture, IBM, Cognizant, Microsoft etc.

They can't invest 5% of GDP in defense because they don't have the money. Germany does not want to raise it's debt ceiling and France is basically broke and hasn't had a functioning government for the last 7 months.

NATO has been treated as a free ride by Europe.

They were supposed to invest a certain % of their GDP each year in their defense spending but because the US was always there as backstop, they basically never did.

Now a lot of countries in the EU have to play catch up and make up the under investment of the last 20 years which will take many years and even possibly decades before it is reversed.

Also Macron is on his way out and the most likely politician to come after him is from the far right. His voice and power is waning and since he has lost the majority in the assembly, he is a lame duck with very little power to change things.
Yeah, I'm more talking about the credit card discrimination specifically. I have an Apple account for Ireland that I can't add my German credit card to. Although I would love the EU to enforce a singular EU media distribution region / market somehow.
Thanks for the article.

Funnily enough, the first half of the article made a lot more sense after the second half where i was wondering "wouldn't goto do the same?" And then i remembered it was mentioned in the first half...

Rule of law in the United States refers to the separation of powers, and the courts are not to be ignored. For a broader definition:

> The rule of law is a political and legal ideal that all people and institutions within a country, state, or community are accountable to the same laws, including lawmakers, government officials, and judges. It is sometimes stated simply as "no one is above the law" or "all are equal before the law". According to Encyclopædia Britannica, it is defined as "the mechanism, process, institution, practice, or norm that supports the equality of all citizens before the law, secures a nonarbitrary form of government, and more generally prevents the arbitrary use of power."[0]

Regardless what the laws enacted are, ensuring no one is above them (a president or an entire branch of the US Federal government, say) is a cornerstone of US civil life.

It's a good thing that EU leadership is finally waking up to the urgency of renewed competitiveness, but the greatest problems are not addressed or even mentioned:

1. Europe's most ambitious entrepreneurs leave for silicon valley because audacious ambition is heavily discouraged culturally. Europe has many talented engineers and many founders who aim for "reasonable" success, but that's really not sufficient.

2. Big investments only work when success means outrageous profitability. That's not how it works in Europe. Businesses are supposed to make at most a "fair" amount of money. Greed, for lack of a better word, is not good. In the US businesses invest 100s of billions in AI hoping to profit trillions. No European business will be allowed to make that kind of money.

3. EU funding is laundered through established players who understand how the game is played. Giving handouts to incumbents harms competitiveness in the long run.

The author of that article clearly doesn't understand rebasing. They state that "the golden rule of rebasing" in the "Git rebase documentation" (actually just an Atlassian git tutorial) says that you should "never rebase on a public branch", when the tutorial they reference unambiguously states you shouldn't rebase a public branch onto your own local changes. Rebasing on public branches is the raison d'être of rebasing. The entire article seems like cope, the author deciding to bash rebase because they don't understand it.
There is no European (capital) market and the national markets are too small to compete with the US or China. European companies are therefore unlikely to gain trust from investors that they will be able to compete.

Hence these kinds of top-down iniatives are in a sense the best they can do given rather poor ircumstances for private investment.
Managers give very loosey-goosey, easy to misinterpret requirements.

Which the AI will just make a stab at without digging in and asking clarifying questions or examining all aspects of the codebase to spot what challenges there are with doing it that way with the specific custom business logic needs needed for the rest of the application, and then get it very wrong and not anywhere close to what was intended (although possibly exactly what was actually asked for).

Meanwhile even a slightly seasoned developer will know to ask for clarifying questions on various aspects of it, or point out challenges with the existing codebase to match the requested requirements (sometimes after taking a stab at it themselves and realizing it doesn't work).

There are ways to prompt the AI to produce better results, with very specific and detailed requirements that include tricky aspects of the technology (that developers are aware of and can provide when they write prompts), but the typical requirements that come down from management ain't anywhere near that.

Not saying AI won't ever get to that point, but we're not there yet.

The "universal compile target" facet of wasm is much less focal than the "universally embeddable" one.

The sandboxing is the keystone holding up the entire wasm ecosystem, without it no one would be interested in it same as nobody would run javacript in browsers without a sandbox (we used to, it was called flash, we no longer do).

I am curious why you focus so much on "universal runtime/compile-target do fail" rather than its actual strenght when at least in the case of java applet they failed because their sandbox sucked (and startup times).

We can still see the motion is forced, the cursor takes non-direct paths, actively doges away from targets, requiring active steering to stay put long enough to press them. While there are few misclicks, it feels like a product of active effort more than the inherent accuracy.
The irony is that if we don't invest into defense, war would still likely break-out, but we may suffer less (or die less) because of a quick loss.

Now we have a weak army in the EU, if Russia invades one of our friends, then the war will be over in two days because France, Germany, USA will do their usual "we condemn blablabla, we send you prayers and sympathy", but there would be no long-lasting war.

A bit similar to Ukraine, it's a half-assed initiative, drowning billions of USD, but not efficient enough.

If the answer had been much stronger, it would have worked, but now we get the worst of the two options (doing nothing, or going all-in).

Also not to forget, that at the end of the rifle, it's not people saving their house, it's about protecting a system that supports the wealth of politics.

The main difference for the invaded people would be to whom they pay taxes, and ironically, could now be facing sanctions from their supposed friends (like the living folks in Crimea, who got punished by US/EU; punished because they have been invaded and victims of a war).

In the second case, if EU defense is increased moderately (like currently plans), war would still breakout but it may drag for longer, and casualties without increasing odds of winning.

The third case, where EU alone without the US is significantly stronger than China, Russia and North Korea, it's nice but I don't see it happening.

Like you said, Macron is likely going to be replaced with pro-Russian Le Pen / Zemmour-like.

The world is getting dangerous.
EU is not a homogeneous single entity. Every state is driving their own agenda, and every state is divided into multiple parties often pulling in different directions. It slows down decision-making, in both good and bad. Oftentimes it's hard to sell a Pan-European long-term benefit, if it's cost is that some member states have to lose something in the short term.

You could make the argument that similar problems exist in the US too, but I'd argue it's worse in the EU.

>Ironically ESR seems to be siding with the authoritarians, though that was never really going to be a surprise for a lot of people.

yeaaaah, i can vaguely recall off the top of my head some quote from ESR about young black men being a mortal threat to everybody around then, and another incident where ESR was advocating the nuclear genocide of the entire islamic world as retribution for 9/11. The only reason I might be surprised to find out he's a trumpster is that Trump seems too moderate for him.

>ESR is not a hacker, just a run-of-the-mill libertarian.

c'mon man don't do the libertarians like that, they have some dumb ideas i disagree with about voluntary non-association but that's not because they're racist, it's just that they don't like the principal of the government forcing them to do things that they would probably be willing to do anyways.
Agreed. I don't usually cry reading an HN post.

It pulls no punches, and is completely devoid of self pity. Relentless, ruthless reality, coming close to detachment even, but it's all so personal.

Incredible post.
In the spirit of HN rules, actual answering instead of snark:

1. The memory of Nazis using centralised industrial might and information to kill millions of people (google dutch insurance records Nazis)

2.a much stronger history of workers rights and distrust of rich people together with a different attitude to gouvernement making it politically challenging

Can hate it or love it, but the median life expectancy in Europe is much less correlated with wealth and _I think_ is higher from memory, child hunger and food insecurity is much lower and homelessness and other corporate abuse is much less of a problem corrected for wealth and population.

Whether we manage to keep this remains to be seen, but I think it's a reasonable set of different preferences
Thanks for feedback!
Yes I have been using plain old django :) as well as reactjs/nextjs in enterprise product for a while. I have also used reactjs + django (as a pure api backend) but the experience is not as smooth as nextjs. However, when dev AI/ML application in terms of DX, python (django) is definitely way better than javascript based backend (nextjs or nodejs).
I subscribe to number of construction/trades-related sub-Reddits, mostly to learn since I'm starting to do a lot more DIY work on my house.

> One slip and you get a hand or foot bitten off. A jack slipped once and smashed the side of his jaw, requiring $20,000 in dental surgery. “I kept working that day, though.”

That's insane and just toxic. I feel like so much of this "working with your hands" is joined with this idea of making people "tougher" because that's intrinsically better.

Edit 2: And this:

I recently bought an old Brother knitting machine (KH940) which is electronic but with a community of hackers adding third-party firmware and hardware on it [0]. There are also lots of models that read punch cards [1] and knit that purely mechanically (and later models electronically). They are a marvel of engineering that has essentially died out, only Silver Reed and Taitexma produce new models as far as I'm aware and they are often not as featureful as the old machines (SR has no garter carriages that Brother machines had 40 years ago for example).

Wow, I just read all the comments which are currently here (at my time of reading), and the level is worse than on Reddit. Not the HN I remember...

Talking about the actual news, as usual with this kinds of programs, a lot of the money won't bring results, but that's also true for most investments from VCs. If just a few good ventures come out of it, that's already a great result. Trump is showing that the EU simply can't outsource most of its IT to the US, it's just too risky.
That's true; we implemented such a mechanic for one of the math educational games, and even if it looks interesting in theory and short iterations, playtests show it's boring and has no challenge.
Running Large Language Models at Scale
I've used it a total of 2 times since I first saw the ability in Atom back in 2017. Once was more for the "this seems neat, let's try it" factor. The other was a legitimate, let's troubleshoot an issue while staring at the same massive screen together. It's not a bad feature, it just never stuck with my workflow - I typically hop on a Zoom call now days, someone shares their screen and pair program the old fashioned way (by yelling out stuff like one does when someone else is playing solitaire)
To me, that payout felt quite high; it's bigger than the average monthly salary for a senior IT professional where I live. To put it another way, that bounty alone would be like being paid for several months of full-time employment.
