> there isn't really much talk about tech

There's a significant amount of EU-based companies being created in the defence space. Helsing was visionary in that sense, but also paved the way for many startups to follow suite.
Its closer to 2X faster on Chromium compile benchmark, at least the 9950X3D, and even bigger benefits for X3D in other use cases than code compiling, 9950X3D is only a few percent better than 9950X for that.
The problem is precisely that most things have been (and continue to be) "unthinkable" "impossible" "unreal" in Europe for a long time. The unthinkable has the tendency to hit the many walls that exist in the corrupt and disfunctional European institutions. Lots of virtue signaling, lots of talk, lots of discussion, lots of failure, little action, little results. Put me in the skeptical bucket that European leader (and population) have the will power to sustain the unthinkable beyond an American election cycle.
It doesn’t make sense to build a conspiracy theory on randomly selected facts, when there’s an obvious explanation that in all those cases the law was broken and law enforcement acted as they were supposed to act. Other ISPs and hosting providers are cooperating with lawful requests too.
I did not suggest giving up, but I did suggest that seL4 is not immune to the bugs it’s advertising claims to avoid.

What do mean by that? The leaflet for my tablets against throat infections specifically mentions candida strains taking over as a risk when overdoing the drug.

At that point you just whip up a github pages domain and use your favorite frontend framework with some blogging framework taken into account. If Microsoft is still a deterrent, you just register your own domain and pay the dozen bucks per year to keep it spinning.

if you really can't be bothered to set any of that up, I suppose you can always find one of the non-mainstream open-source microblogging platforms. I'm sure there are some lovely "reddit alternatives" out there that feel great to blog on but has an audience of a dozen people internally.
My understanding is that most of the government in the states has realized how they’ve lost the game they’ve created themselves. Unless some black swan event happens, I don’t think anything can stop the new juggernaut in the field (China). Surely they have a lot of problems, but with 1.4B population and proven track record, it’ll be hard to compete with them in scale.

This is basically an attempt to create a new game, with the hopes that they can govern the rules again. Nobody wants to give up the power, obviously. But yeah, good luck to all of my American friends, I really hope (genuinely!) it turns out well in the end for you all!

Say, if I invent everything to make a bike work but the wheels just happen to be a teeny tiny too small to actually allow someone to ride it uninterrupted.

You come and adjust them. Did you just invent the bike? Or did you build upon my previous invention(s) and perfected it, making us both partial inventors?
> rely on the American tax payer for defense

Not sure how much that's true. EU spends billions buying US military hardware such as the Reaper. It's unclear how the story will end up for US taxpayers here.
Because people don't care that much about where their software comes from. They just want the best product available, and more often than not it comes from the States.

This is a global phenomenon - Americans didn't care about TikTok being a Chinese company either.
What do europeans have to show for the money spent in the "Next Generation" plans?

Allocating the money and printing feel good stories on regulations is the EASY part.

Now, delivering on the cut-throat tech competition on a reasonable time frame seems not part of the european ethos.
I tried to vibe code (I don't like the term and normally would never) this as someone here suggested, so here [0]. It did not 'quite' take less than an hour and it's not usable yet for writing (just reading); it does have working dark mode though.

I only helped out when it was completely stuck (twice), other than that I didn't read or check the code, just talked (voice) ideas to it when it was done while doing other (not vibe) coding while it was looping over it. I did, I guess stupidly, dictate the tech; I wanted to try Go + htmx; that probably didn't help; probably Python and/or React would've lead to better results.

Don't flag yet. OP replied
I think there is also a bifurcation to be had on inventions which take billions of dollars into a business to R&D and tens or hundreds of millions of dollars per test vs inventions one mildly wealthy (or less) average individual can reasonably cover the investment of. The former is less about the invention making and more about the funding gathering.
> Somehow, in certain circles, this whole story gets shortened to "If you criticize the government in germany, your home gets raided by the police".

If this is it, I couldn’t say better, thank you. I heard about those cases, but apparently do not belong to those circles to connect the dots.
As a European, I would like nothing more than for our ruling elites to stop acting like petulant teenagers that are upset that their parents voted Republican and instead move out and start supporting themselves.

For decades here in Norway we have had talks about how we need to denuclearize, stop all industry, stop all energy production, stop all mining. This, if not directly a result of Russian interference, is at least something Russia and China are entirely behind. They would love nothing more than to see their rivals self-destruct.

European alternatives are not great. That is just a fact. I want them to be great. As Donald Tusk said, it's insane that Europe is expecting the much smaller US to defend it against the even smaller Russia. The time has come to stop acting like petulant teenagers rebelling and start acting like adults.

All of this also ignores the fact that Europe jails people for thought crime at a much higher rate than US or even Russia. And European countries are much more draconian with trying to restrict privacy and encryption. Right now, my data is more private in US than in most of Europe.
We certainly do know that while the Apollo program was still in progress NASA was developing the nuclear rockets that would make Mars missions feasible. Think weeks of travel time instead of months, and much larger payload fractions. If you want to talk about funding cuts, talk about Nixon. The Commercial Crew program came decades later after the failure of the Shuttle program, when it was revealed just how dangerous the they were.
LinkedIn as a "connect me to actual jobs" as of late has been horrible. But I'm not quite sure if this site has a big enough mass to solve such an issue.
> Yes absolutely, environment makes a difference, but it also looks pretty clear that the raw tech can exist for something for a very, very long time without anyone putting the pieces together.

Perhaps invention is slightly different, but in the empirical sciences there's a bunch of stuff that occurred at roughly the same time:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multiple_discoveries

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery

Science and technology are closely related, as the latter builds on the former, and so it is often the case that sometimes a little bit of luck / timing determines who is "first", e.g.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisha_Gray
Odd, why was this post removed from the front page? There's older and less active posts there.
'if that's what "invented" means then nobody has ever invented anything.'

People invent things. But "airplane" turned out to be much more than one thing. Not all of them were invented by Curtiss (a local favorite), or by Santos-Dumont, or by Lilienthal, Caproni, the Wrights, or whoever.
I'm also German:

In former days (until perhaps the end of the 90s) sending in a photo as part of an application was expected. But by now the customs have changed.
I think we can expect a bifurcation: managerial jobs that will require a lot of breadth and engineering jobs that will require a lot of depth. The manager engineers will have AIs doing all sorts of things for them across the stack. The deep engineers will develop an expertise that the AI can't get to (at least not yet).
These "inter-lingual" examples such as https://github.com/Kimbsy/autology/blob/main/resources/examp... are pretty cool. What is the use-case of this or why would one want to do this? Just trying to bounce off ideas.
i tried "Speech speed: 4" but it seemed to have no effect on the talking speed.
I was puzzling over the code wondering why they .cuda() everything like that when I realised that that was only the beginning of the weirdness.

I'm assuming the scrambled annotations were due to some odd chain of things the code went through on the way to becoming a post.

Maybe they did it as a parable about the problems of having many layers of abstraction causing processes with unintended consequences?
They intercepted and read the messages of most users, yet the number of arrests is significantly lower than the total number of SkyECC and EncroChat users.

Not only that, but they also have charged and are attempting to jail the creators of these phones/end-to-end messaging apps.

With what is happening it is becoming pretty much impossible to provide backdoor free communication tools within the EU.
Oh so it's like this? Sorry, I was confused because your npmjs page explicitly says that the tool is for Apidog projects.
Amusing to see all the comments complaining there is no 100% European tech stach covering everything from servers, CPUs, motherboards to laptops and office/word processing suites.

That is true, but none of those are 100% from US (or China) either.

It’s almost as if our global economy is a complex beast with lots of interdepencies…

My advice: Go read the seminal “I, Pencil” essay from the 50s. Now do the same exercise witha computer system that involves both hardware and software.
The availability of (mostly) accurate, in depth information snout any rabbit hole you can think of has certainly impacted some industries. There’s an entire generation of doctors who are infuriated by “Doctor Google” And another generation of doctors who embrace the ability to quickly research topics and fact check suggestions online collaboratively with their patients.
Sounds like it's working out for them
It does happen for many reasons and not uncommon, uncertainty and risk is typically why.

There isn’t one single value, value derived ( let alone perceived) is subjective

In this case, The stock is worth more(or less) to the 49% shareholder than others who are may value the founder holding defacto controlling stake negatively, thus discount the stock less than its book value .

This is also why sometimes same class of shares held by different people get priced (i.e. valued) differently in a single deal. Recently the paramount one is a good example .

Another famous example Yahoo was valued negatively for a long time before its sale to Verizon, I.e. its market cap was less than the value of its alibaba holdings .

One off events like county cases , drug trials likelyhood of a merger approval from regulators are hard to price accurately and can skew.

The bombing of Libya was a full NATO operation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_i...

But yes, the War On Terror completely destabilized such a large area including Syria that it's been a disaster for Europe.
> It's unclear how this EU momentum will stand the test of time, even if the war in Ukraine were to stop quickly.

I don’t think it really is unclear. The war in Ukraine served as an initial trigger that did spark some notesble changes. But the trump administration even more so. Ask the former UdSSR and Warsaw pact states. They were sounding the alarm bells for a long time and don’t appear to be willing to take any chances going forward.

> Where do these 800 bn really come from,

Government deficit.

> how fast they will transform into R&D and products

R&D is not really the issue. While there are some notable exceptions, the European defense industry has lots of very capable system that match or exceed the capabilities of US counterparts. The problem is primarily production capacity.

And production capacity is a problem that is relatively easily solved by throwing money at it and committing to long term purchases.

The main risk is that states want to ensure that if they want to spend more, they also get proportionally more. With production capacity being a bottleneck, increased spending could lead to inflationary pricing.
He supplied a lighting rod for negativity.

The first few launches were very difficult. A NASA project with 10 crashes would have been destroyed by the press and congress.

The superpower of Elon is to shield the technical team from the negativity, pipe it to null and post "close but no ciggar".
SpaceX has made a lot of real advancements while delivering real launches. You're thinking of Boeing.
Ask HN: Would You Pay for an AI-Powered Speech Therapy App for Kids?
Hey HN,

I'm working on LingoPaws, an AI-powered speech training app for kids struggling with articulation. Unlike traditional speech therapy, it provides real-time feedback, gamified practice, and AI-generated exercises tailored to each child's speech patterns.

We’re testing whether parents (or even speech therapists) would find value in this before scaling. The biggest problem we’re solving: speech therapy is expensive, limited in availability, and often not engaging for kids.

Would you pay for an app like this?

If you're a parent, would you subscribe for $10-20/month if it helps your child improve faster?

If you're a speech therapist, would you use it as a tool to complement therapy?

Do you think this approach solves a real problem, or is there a better way to tackle it?

We have a basic prototype and a waitlist for early access: https://www.lingopaws.com/en

Would love your feedback, especially from those who have experience in edtech, AI, or speech therapy!
I absolutely hate complexity, and will work very hard to avoid it. So hard, in fact, that it can seem that my productivity is zero for long periods of time. I will think for days or rewrite the same thing several times if the code is important enough and then—sometimes—out plops some small piece of code that does the right thing.

Most people I have worked with get very impatient with me. I tend to work best with things that actually have to work all the time. I have written code that sits forgotten doing its thing for many years, while more visible contributors get kudos for solving disasters on weekends. Not bitter, of course ;)

When there is blood in the water the sharks start circling. And some sharks 'short'. And I know little about their operations of 23andMe, but I understand the _value_ of their data!!!!!

The problem is not the source, rather the company origin.
So this is a wrapper around OpenAI's TTS model, something custom that was done in combination, or something else?
Predicating the argument on a unified EU is a mistake. US was a good ally in NATO, certainly better than most EU countries. If this split can occur between US and "EU", it's almost certain a similar split will occur within the "EU" itself, and quite soon. Romania is already leaning this way. But France and Holland also trending this way.

EU politicians right now are trying to use this moment to unify the EU more and to justify more spending, but they way they steer the narrative is very awkward. They want to spend but only some regions will benefit from this spending as it stands and the others will only pay the bill further causing division.

Private companies in EU face a different problem - switching away from industry leading vendors makes them less competitive. We will have to see how this plays out.

Globalization died with Covid when it became obvious that the old order no longer functioned in a world with lockdowns and pandemics, it disrupted the entire supply chain.

Then globalization died a second time with the Russia’s war in Ukraine, with the emergence of BRICS and the consequences of sanctions and the breakdown of the global monetary system.

Annoyingly you have to use an experimental flag. That just adds too much friction.

Latest Node version added Node options as config feature. I wish that was ported to every version of Node.

Otherwise you have to set NODE_OPTIONS which can often be overwritten by some scripts in the execution chain.
I've never used cloud storage in any real way, primarily because it doesn't solve any problems I need solving. My own servers meet all my "cloudlike" needs. I would be hesitant (but not dead set against) using such storage because of security, privacy, and availability concerns.

I appreciate your insight but this explanation seems overly simplified (or needlessly complicated). It’s very possible that the demagogues are seen for what they are irrespective of city vs country and people across the board don’t like having demagogues in power. You also can’t wash the city people clean for all the frankly hate and vitriol they spew at country folks. It’s not just demagogues.

Depends on the person. But I'm sure the most conscientious ones will be the people making those "viral" posts that makes them connections. a potentially pompous surgeon is more than no surgeon if your goal is meeting likeminded

>in both cases I expect an assistant etc to be at a conference, who then can introduce me.

sure, a conference which may not be in your area (so add in time and money to travel), potentially in certain areas needing a higher level pass (so more money). It's effective, but not potentially accessible. As well as rare; unless you have plenty of travel time you may only get to go to a few conferences a year. And even with all that a deep connection is not guaranteed.
Show HN: Musikk.ai – Royalty-free MIDI files for games, podcasts, and content
I built musikk.ai to solve a common problem I had as a developer: needing original music but not having the skills (or budget) to compose it.

The site lets you generate MIDI files in various keys, moods, and genres — great as a starting point for game devs, podcasters, and creators. All files are royalty-free and license-free, so you can use them commercially without hassle.

No signup required to experiment but you will have to get an account to save settings, and a subscription to download the files.

Would love feedback, especially from those in game/audio/post workflows.

I said that a memory corruption flaw was found in seL4. This is a fact. If you read the patch, you will see that a message that was just created had been being overwritten (which is explained in a code comment). This occurs inside the seL4 kernel code, and the proof previously permitted this behavior (according to one of the developers’ comments on the PR). The proof had to be amended to disallow this (which is the second PR). You should see this in the links.
A soft capped network capacity is different from a hard spending cap. They have different risk models, benefits and drawbacks.

Personally I prefer a cap on spending given that the risk of runaway costs has a bigger impact than the risk of runaway of legit network traffic. I suspect most people feel that they are more cable of catching and addressing runaway success, rather than an runaway network problem caused by an undiscovered bug or attack (often intentionally done during off-hours in the middle of the night).

Also, if we are talking X-rays, in Ukraine it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Puluj, not Röntgen. Although, to his credit, the latter apparently did cite Puluj when using the X-ray emitting Puluj Lamp (Röntgen attended his lectures after all).
