>responsible for protecting a bunch of far-away places that don't share their values

You mean Europe? There's literally not a place in the world (except for Canada and Australia) that shares as many common values with the US as Europe. Unless the very definition of these values suddenly changed for the US with Agent Orange.

As far as "far-away places go", it might take a similar amount of time to get from east to west coast of USA as to fly from one of the US coasts to somewhere in Europe...

Europe has been aligned with US culturally and politically for decades and it helped to promote US interests worldwide and to fight US wars. And when we need you the most for the first time since the 1990 you decided to fuck us. I feel personally betrayed, and I imagine there are many, many more like me. Your decisions will ultimately be bad for us all.
Can you clarify what you mean by "agent-based" development, "vibe coding" and "maintainable agent systems" here?

(All three of those are terms with very vague definitions, I'm interested in hearing which of those definitions are starting to take root.)
>Last time Nato's article 5 was invoked it lead to Europeans dying in US wars.

US service members represented about 68% of the coalition deaths in Afghanistan and about 93% in Iraq:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_casualties_in_Afghan...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War#Coa...

The expectation for a European war should be similar. Europe should supply about 80% of the effort, since they're the ones directly affected. Even now, the US has supplied almost half the aid to Ukraine:

https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-s...

So the US pulling out of Europe could be considered a necessary correction to reach parity with the Iraq/Afghanistan situation.

>We need to go back to WW2 for you comment to have any value.

The point of having a strong military is to deter your enemies, not fight them. The US has deterred the USSR/Russia in Europe for 80 years. What did that get us? HN comments about how we've supposedly "extorted" Europe.

It's really striking the amount of anti-Americanism that comes out of Europe relative to other US allies. This has been going on for years and years before Trump. There seems to be something uniquely dysfunctional about the Atlantic relationship, relative to other ally relationships the US has.

>I think Americans can thank themselves and nobody else for their people dying in wars.

Of course Europe's contribution to Iraq and Afghanistan should be acknowledged. Here it is on the State Dept website: https://www.state.gov/dipnote-u-s-department-of-state-offici...
What's odd about this argument is that such bugs would be at risk of reintroduction in any other piece of software.

They can be reintroduced into seL4 too. Just have an amendment to the specification adding a new feature say the bug is okay without anyone realizing it does.

Sure, you get to score rhetorical points about the proof being incorrect once. But this bridge is now fixed and won't fail that way again in the same way.

The proof itself proved something other than what was advertised, which allowed for this issue to exist. If you look at the bug tracker, it appears that this has happened more than one time.

While seL4 is an amazing achievement, it is clear that it is not the bulletproof software that people thought it was. There is no proof that the specification is problem free after all.

Cartels and governments regularly hack phones and spy on and even kill activists. The current processes you are defending get people killed and are undermining civil society.

This is a gross misrepresentation of what I said. Having an objective evidence based opinion that seL4 is not as good as advertised has nothing to do with people dying.

SeL4 is a big deal and definitely worth the investments needed to make such reliability the norm instead of accepting the continual bridge collapses that occur in Linux land.

seL4 does not achieve this. It is the equivalent of less than 0.001% of all of the code run on machines. It makes no guarantees that the >99.999% that people use is okay.
I've seen a lot of Fritz-Kola in the St Pauli area of Hamburg. I prefer it to coke too.
It remains to be seen but right now models are constantly evolving and being trained in on recent data, I.e training data including an already changing climate.

I have heard the opinion that the models would not learn weather patterns but rather “weather physics”. I am not knowledgeable enough in ML to comment on that though.
If you think you truly are up against an echo chamber then it’s in your best interest not to make a big show of martyrdom, claiming to be persecuted by it. Most posts that mention being downvoted become targets for further downvoting. Don’t break the fourth wall.
older docs are forever there. what it needs is more training data with new APIs.
Actually, because older docs are there, you can ask to update some old code to newer versions automatically.

Point is that it needs enough examples with a newer version.
Also, reasoning models are pretty good at spotting which version they are using.

(tested not with tailwind, but some other JS libs).
I'll bite: What is "woke" to you? The term's history has basically no bearing on what it means now. Preferably a definition, not examples, because often the examples, when you list enough of them, contradict.

> There's a reason that large AI models only work with some architectures and you need to randomly initialize tens to hundreds of times and you need exactly the right optimizer with the right hyperparameters and then the right training data in the right order..

GPT4 used the tensor programs (Greg Yang,now at X. Ai) research to effectively transfer hyper parameters from smaller models where experiments can go fast to the larger one in a predictable way and got a very smooth loss curve throughout the training.
What is weird about not liking that former powerful ally is becoming a hostile entity actively trying to harm you? They are not cheering, because what is happening is loose loose situation and they dont like the loose part. Also, buying American tech und military exports in the past was not exactly something shameful. The way you write about it, as if trade was "being slave with a humiliating collar" is weird thinking.

> To me it seems that maybe the interests of EU elites differ from the interests of the EU common classes.

Common classes in EU are not benefiting from trade war, they are not benefiting from USA annexation threats and they are not benefiting from Russia expanding.

> The EU elites seem to have considered themselves as basically equivalent to American citizens in all but name, and were quite happy selling out their native countries in return for access to America.

This is nonsensical. You are making stuff up, big time. How is buying American arms a symbol of "considering themselves to be Americans"? I cant recall any call or push to be more America.
Well, if you accept Irn-Bru as a Cola replacement then Germany already isn't a Cola country anymore. The vast majority of sodas consumed is rather of the Cola-Mix kind (there are two very common products named "Spezi" and a ton of smaller brands) and Apfelschorle. CocaCola dominates the Cola market only, the sum of all the other sodas is far greater.
It's certainly cleaner, but my immediate thought when reading was "that's a compile error" because it looks like it's declaring a variable with a type mismatch. This is where, in other languages, the "case" keyword (or similar) comes in handy (eg: Dart's if-case syntax[1]), except Rust doesn't have that because of its headlong pursuit of 'conciseness'.

>current hostility of Europe against Trump

Seriously?
It's unclear how this EU momentum will stand the test of time, even if the war in Ukraine were to stop quickly.

Where do these 800 bn really come from, how fast they will transform into R&D and products, how much the industrial status quo is going to change? These are hard questions that remain unanswered.
"Let's use red hat's products but let's not get them from red hat to save some bucks"

they are all very different worlds. math works purely in theory and simply explains phenomenon. Likewise, much of software is ephemeral and gets its ethic indirectly once people are involved.

to work with life is to work in factors that directly affect others, Unless you're doing something like pure biology where you simply observe. Even then, the art of observing sentient beings has its hundreds of quirks.
Why would that idea be disagreed with? Even if language learning started out piggybacking on some general mechanism, that general mechanism would have biases, and evolution would, I think, tend to optimize/specialize it over time.
My comment being downvoted is interesting. Is it pro-Trump users disagreeing that they are pro-Trump? Or democrats disagreeing that there are pro-Trump users?

I've had numerous encounters with people in the comments who were pro-Trump, who basically seemed to support corporate slavery.
I don't recognize this attitude at all. But I'm no elite anywhere.

Thinking about it, it's not so weird? We beat the nazis together, we've generally enjoyed world peace, freedom, and the joys of neocolonialism. Things were sailing along just fine.

Now things are all weird and fucked up and we have to worry about fucking russia, defense spending in general, the fate of greenland, cloud computing and all that shit?

Putting it like that, I'd like things to go back to the way they were too...

Close to my view.

Gender IS a social construct though - but sex is not and people conflate the two. The other problem is that if something is a social construct you cannot claim it is also an absolute truth.

Race is also a social construct, which a lot of people who are woke seem to have trouble dealing with - a lot of people who accept gender self-identify seem to be unwilling to accept race self-identify.

> What kind of integration do you mean?

See? The "integration" is something you only notice when it breaks (or when you're working through LFS and BLFS in preparation for your computer science Ph.D.) -- This kind of work is currently being done pretty well, so it rarely breaks, so people think it doesn't even exist. Also notice that a linux distro is what's both on the outside and the inside of most containers. If debian stops doing integration work, no amount of containerization will save us.

So, what kind of breakage might there be? Well, my containerized desktop app isn't working. It crashed and told me to go look for details in the logfile. But the logfile is nowhere to be found. ...oh, of course. The logfile is inside the container. No problem, just "docker exec -ti /bin/bash" to go investigate. Ah, problem found. DBUS is not being shared properly with the host. Funny. Prior to containerization I never even had to know what DBUS was, because it just worked. Now it's causing trouble all the time. Okay, now just edit that config file. Oh, shoot. There's no vi. No problem, just "apt get install vi" inside the container. Oh "apt" is not working. Seems like this container is based on alpine. Now what was the command to install vi on alpine again? ...one day later. Hey, finally got my app to start. Now let's start doing some useful work. Just File|Open that document I need to work on. The document sits on my NAS that's mounted under "/mnt/mynas". Oh, it's not there. Seems like that's not being shared. That would have been too good to be true. Now how do I do that sharing? And how does it work exactly? If I change the IP address of my NAS and I remount it on the host, does the guest pick that up, or do I need to re-start the app? Does the guest just have a weak-reference to the mountpoint on the host? Or does it keep a copy of the old descriptor? ...damn. In 20 years of doing Linux, prior to containerization, I never needed to know any of this. ...that's the magic of "system integration". Distros did that kind of work so the rest of us didn't have to.

In this day and age of AI overdrive, it may in fact be a more and more viable way to verify candidates.
You're misrepresenting UpCloud's offering. Their "zero-cost egress" is completely truthful - they don't charge extra fees for data transfer, unlike other providers.

The fair usage policy you linked sets reasonable bandwidth allocations (just like DO), but crucially, they don't charge as much as AWS/GCP. And this is the main selling point here: the egress fees of the big cloud providers are straight up bonkers. UpClouds isn't.

Calling this "lying" is dishonest. They're transparent about both the policy and its industry context. If you want higher baseline allocations, that's fair feedback. But it's a different discussion than accusing them of deception.

I mean, the exit was always closed to Ireland, from the initial invasion onwards. That wasn't a case of choosing to be in until you're trapped, Ireland was conquered (and subject to periodic ethnic cleansing in the plantations, reprisals etc.)
- The official example strongly promotes the Anthropic API, which is on GitHub. This is clear evidence.

- There is no clear explanation of the coupling between the system prompt and the tool call. Even if it mentions the open source Gemma or Deepseek, it would be much better.

The official attitude makes it difficult to trust this project.

The point you made is exactly the cunning part. Anyone can copy it, but without official support, it is simply impossible: this is pure community exploitation

They're not confusing popular and electoral votes. Trump won a majority of electoral votes, and a plurality of the popular vote, as they claimed; that is from the official count, not preliminary counts. He did not win a majority of the popular vote, but that is also the case both for Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton (twice, though one of those was a rare three candidate race where a majority would have been unlikely).

You cannot say that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 and say that Trump did not in 2024 unless you are disputing the official count. He had a margin of around 2.3m.

I don't support Trump, but you really can't claim that Europe wasn't warned here. Russia first invaded Ukraine back in 2014. And here's Trump back in 2018, warning about German dependence on Russian gas, and stating that Europe needed to step up defense spending "immediately":

This has hardly been "abrupt". Even Obama and Bush were telling Europe to step up defense spending.

One elaboration on your point: the rural and urban populations aren't mirrors of each other. The urban population generally ignores the rural population. The rural population pays attention to (a select subset of) what is happening in the city.

I think this is an inevitable consequence of population size and density. People are interested in people. The people who generate new culture -- who attract the interest of other people -- thrive in the cities. They have a bigger audience and a bigger community of fellow creatives. They find more variety. They have more to work with. So in both the city and the country people pay attention to what's happening in the city and ignore what's happening in the country. More is happening in the city and it is more interesting.

This isn't everything that makes cities tend to differ in their values and politics from the country, but it's the hotbed malign demagogues exploit to empower themselves. They tell the country, "Hey, the city people don't respect you. They have contempt for your values. Their politics are the reason for your suffering. You are the real people. They are parasites. Be mad!"

The country is primed to rise up. The city isn't. So the demagogues make the country hurt the city. Then the city is mad as well, at people who have genuinely hurt them, whereas the country was fooled into being mad at the city and striking the first blow.

It isn't necessarily the case that the people in the country are dumber. They're just the ones primed for a fight. But the con artists are working over the country people, so from the city's perspective the country people are fools.
Relying on the US for military protection allowed many European countries to save billions of their own money for years. Undoing this going to be very, very expensive and there is no good understanding where all this money is supposed come from, the main idea right now seems to be massive amounts of debt, which can get very ugly in the long run. It absolutely needs to happen, but I can clearly see why many politicians are not thrilled about the whole thing
