What Trump did was to pull out the rug under the European establishment, which have all built their political existence on the transatlantic cooperation.

Who is to blame? European establishment wants of course the citizens of Europe to blame Trump and not them for not preparing for this eventuality.

But the truth is that almost all of them are responsible for neglecting what is the best interest of Europe. Thus they play this game.
The driver for this is clear, surely? It's that we're now unsure where the USA stands viz-a-viz Russia.
Material reason that they were more blood thirsty and hateful. More wanting to expand German, annex other countries and happy to turn other nations into slaves. They have seen empathy as a weakness, the same some current politicians do.

Also, they gained about nothing and seem themselves as the victims by the end of WWII. (Yes, literally they have seen themsevelves as primary victims of what happened.)
Why not just switch now then? Perhaps better for the environment.

> The point of having a strong military is to deter your enemies, not fight them.

That breaks the premise for this thread which was people lost in war.

> It's really striking the amount of anti-Americanism that comes out of Europe relative to other US allies.

You broaden up the premise from lost casualties in war to the entire relationsship - I think that is multiple PhDs to figure out whether this is anti american or reasonable push back.

I can further open this up an include obvious anti trust malpractice, cultural imperialism, etc., etc. that the US in constantly pushing on the EU (and the rest of the world).

But please enlighten me on how the entire world in against the US, and how badly you are being treated - the country with the absolute biggest economic power and military power.

Cry me a river.
Lol. Just listen to any ‘opinion maker’ on European media - they whine about it 24/7. They’re ‘not happy’ - to say the least - that the status quo has changed.
What exactly is Apidog though?

I feed LLMs documentation in case of obscure languages and it more or less works (with Claude).
While this is technically true, it is almost every time false in this case. The network traffic scales with the CPU resources, you use on UpCloud. I know that, because I used their services.

But it would have been enough to just read the links, that are posted here.
I encourage everyone to do the same, before posting stuff that is irrelevant and/or plain wrong.
I totally agree. As someone with an EE background, this metaphor makes me a little physically uncomfortable. Considering that the developers and users of mcp are almost all programmers who need to use cli, I really don't understand why they don't tell the truth to programmers.
Googling "Ukraine" the first words on the results page are "Ukraine,
Country in Europe".

I guess you are thinking of the more western bits of Europe or the bits that are in NATO but there isn't really a fundamental boundary.

That seems to be a bit of a flaw in the current 'peace negotiations' - Putin just wants a deal to carve up Ukraine agreed with the US and not involving Europe or the Ukranians but I'm not sure they are ok with that.
Tell HN: Taking care when responding to job postings in "who is hiring"
Dear HN,

Without naming names (although come April will do so in response to specific poster) I want to share a piece of advice after having been careless myself and realizing the error afterwards.

When we are in job search mode, specially in this atrocious job market, we are vulnerable to social engineering, and some bad actors appear to be taking advantage of these (expected) vulnerabilities.

One such vulnerability is limited time resources. To do due diligence on every single company before applying is a luxury that we simply don't have. This is specially important when applying to little known startups. If you are like me, come first of the month, you are going down that page and applying to whatever seems a good fit, one after another.

The other (expected) vulnerability is when in response to the application requests are made that one would normally subject to critical consideration.

This month I received a response from a company that after having expressed great enthusiasm regarding my application, requested a video introduction. It should have been a red flag for me that when I provided this from a well known service provider they requested a link that did not require their logging in to that service. After providing a link that did not require a record of their access to the video, they have ghosted me and have not responded to follow ups. This felt strange and (doh) I finally started digging deeper into the names of the team members on their about page and the picture that emerged was unlike the little snippets on their about page. (Turns out their ceo is actually not a tech visionary but rather a glorified marketer.)

Now it is entirely possible that this is simply yet another example of the degraded social norms in our society. But it is also possible that this company is collecting resumes and video (biometrics) specially since their "privacy" page indicates the typical assertion of copyrights over communications with them.

What I will be doing going forward (and I recommend the same and expect YCombinator to also recommend this in the top post for the who is hiring thread) is to, before providing such content, first obtain an acknowledgement regarding non-transfer of copyrights and strictly limited scope of sharing of such content before providing it. We live after all in the age of trivially created AI dopelgangers.
Why is TERF as a term bad when it actually matches the ideology? You have to be against trans and otherwise feminist. Which is exactly what that is.
In C23, auto doesn't have a default type, if you write auto without a type then you get the C++ style "type deduction" instead. This is part of the trend (regretted by some WG14 members) of WG14 increasingly serving as a way to fix the core of C++ by instead mutating the C language it's ostensibly based on.

You can think of deduction as crap type inference.
The pro-Trump people here all seem to mindlessly repeat stuff they heard on the cringy “All-in” podcast after they read a summary of Atlas Shrugged.

If you automate your release process:

1. You won't forget how to ship a release if you go months between releases

2. You won't make mistakes when you release code - forgetting a crucial step along the way for example

3. Related: you can add tests to your release process - so your release doesn't go out if you made some last-minute mistake that broke the build

4. You'll release more often: the automation has de-risked your release process and reduced friction around it, which means you can ship with more confidence and less ceremony

5. You can reliably share that release process with other collaborators - not end up in a situation where only one person's laptop is able to ship

6. If your laptop breaks or gets stolen it won't harm your ability to release software

All of the above are true for non-game projects, I don't see why they shouldn't apply to games as well.
Trade is the best way to maintain peace. I don't like situation one bit. International relations are souring. It's hard to imagine that this is unintentional.

For this reason I’ve never heard of a stock which is selling at less than assets minus debts for very long. It’s an easy hostile takeover + fire sale situation.

So I’m doubting that is what is really happening here?

And I really can't. Thanks, games industry. So I need to make it a full time job doing signifigant side projects just to show off my skills for jobs.

Even then, this market right now isn't in "we'll call you" mode unless you're highly specialized.
In any event, the GP’s comment still holds. The narrative that Trump is just a populist for the uneducated masses is really really… toxic.

Show HN: Oqtopus: Open-Source Full-Stack Quantum Cloud Platform
We're excited to announce the open source release of a comprehensive quantum cloud platform — OQTOPUS. This project delivers an end-to-end solution for quantum computing by integrating both cloud and edge-server components, bridging the gap between user-facing quantum software and the underlying system operations.

Key Highlights:

- Cloud Layer:
Provides RESTful APIs based on OpenAPI and FastAPI, along with robust user authentication and job scheduling. Infrastructure is automated through an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach using Terraform.

- Edge-Server Component:
Manages critical preprocessing tasks such as quantum circuit transpilation (via a versatile multi-format transpiler framework), and handles sophisticated post-processing like readout error mitigation to improve result accuracy.

- End-to-End Integration:
Seamlessly processes user-submitted quantum circuits—from job queuing, through circuit transformation and device execution, to final result correction—making quantum computing more accessible and efficient.

By releasing OQTOPUS as open source, the aim is to lower the entry barrier for quantum system software development and foster a vibrant community of contributors and innovators in quantum computing.

The full project details and source code are available on GitHub. Contributions and feedback are welcome to drive the next generation of quantum cloud solutions.

If you want an LLM to use a tool, you just need to implement a parser in your LLM client that extracts the tool call from the LLM's response, then give the LLM a syntax it can use to make the tool call.

For example, in Roo Code:

```
TOOL USE

You have access to a set of tools that are executed upon the user's approval. You can use one tool per message, and will receive the result of that tool use in the user's response. You use tools step-by-step to accomplish a given task, with each tool use informed by the result of the previous tool use.

# Tool Use Formatting

Tool use is formatted using XML-style tags. The tool name is enclosed in opening and closing tags, and each parameter is similarly enclosed within its own set of tags. Here's the structure:

<tool_name>
<parameter1_name>value1</parameter1_name>
<parameter2_name>value2</parameter2_name>
...
</tool_name>

For example:

<read_file>
<path>src/main.js</path>
</read_file>

Always adhere to this format for the tool use to ensure proper parsing and execution.
```

Yeah, The Economist regularly writes these articles that spend half the time praising the intense competition in certain sectors of the economy and half the time bemoaning the influence of state-owned enterprises (or other CCP instruments) in others. It seems to vary a lot by specific industry.

> Thumps voters don't want America to be an empire

Why the leadup (complete with de-humanization of citizens!) to annexation of Canada, then? Why normalization of invading parts of Europe (Greenland)? Why talk about taking over Panama?

Trump is 100% pro-empire, he's just too thick to understand that America already had empire without having Google Maps have everything the same colour.

I suspect you did not mean to say that, but your comments can be interpreted to mean that, especially when you suggest people will die if seL4 is not used as if nothing else matters, and inject that into a discussion of whether seL4’s is free of flaws (it is not).

Using seL4 is like flattening the ground on which a building foundation will sit. Just because the ground was flattened to within microns of flatness does not mean there is nothing else wrong with the foundation and building that are built on it.

Perhaps I am being pedantic, but you deserve this after suggesting the mere act of giving an opinion on seL4 made me an accessory to murder.
Mojeek (UK-based) does apparently have their own index.

Some of the very best moments of my life have come from those moments when I feel like I a part of something bigger than myself. Act in a play. Be the 30th person in a start up. Sing in a choir. Ring a bell.

It appears to me that far from enhancing these moments, in general the internet has inhibited them. The focus of our current internet is Me. Instagram where you can show people how beautiful you are. Facebook, where the important thing is what you like. And who you follow. Me. Me. Me.

So it seems natural that the "next big thing" is something that will make the internet even less hospitable for a sense of community - for the We. No doorbell, just an AI.

But maybe that is a good thing? This internet with all the tracking and lack of civility can become just a place where AI's can spend hours tracking and targeting other AI's. Far out!

We can build something else.
We're talking about vibe coding, not just AI-assisted coding. Do you put this in production without review?
If 23andMe makes "shadow profiles", it would necessarily be for common ancestors, probably long dead. They can't see "down" into the genetic tree at all - whether great-grandma had 1 child or 13 they'll never know until the descendants take tests.
But also, if 23andMe does this, they are short-changing their genealogy customers. One of the main things a genealogy customer would like to know about a match is if they're on the maternal side, paternal, or both (more common than you'd think, and mostly not because your parents are related). 23andMe, from what I read, does not do this - and that suggests that they're not getting much out of those shadow profiles.
It could also be that the US have a person in power who is clearly out of his element.

Their invention patent (US 821,393) correctly claims the invention of a 3-axis airplane orientation control system, not the invention of the airplane, which is treated as a well-known class of flying-machines, which is improved by their invention.

An airplane without good aircraft controls could start to fly without problems, but it would normally crash sooner or later, either due to flight instabilities or because it had to eventually land somewhere.
The people with the most to lose from widespread access to genetic data are those involved in outright crimes, like rape and child sexual abuse. Did you in a younger day get some underage girl pregnant? You're at risk. Or paternity lawsuits without the age restriction.

I wonder if some of those freaking out about the issue have a reason to be concerned.

On the other hand, once the information is out there, any aggrieved party will have plausible access to it, so it could be argued any statute of limitations would kick in.
> conservatism “takes an organic view of society as something that has grown up over time and cannot be arbitrarily changed. It puts more stock in experience than in abstract reasoning. It is skeptical of broad solutions, preferring to go step by step

This is close to my conservative viewpoint:

Historically, rapid change in society has been a net negative. When faced with crisis or even simply legitimate grievance, reactionaries are mistakenly labeled conservative. This article says it out loud.

Historically, benefits like the peace dividend under Eisenhower, or the parts of the New Deal that Eisenhower continued, are best-spent by the most boring people. The largest cross-section of our society can see something there to conserve.

The USA has some liberal triumphs, too. The second amendment mandates a government which does not select certain groups for gun ownership. Then and now a magnificently liberating idea.

The words neoliberal and neoconservative are more like alt-liberal and alt-conservative. Distinguishing those from their classical counterparts is interesting to me (but evidently not always the average American) in the abstract.

Help me understand this: European companies have already been interested in choosing for European alternatives instead of AWS, Azure, etc. for years.

Sure, this interest has recently gone up significantly, but it already was there, especially in the area I've been working in (hospitals / medical devices).

But here's what I can't wrap my head around: Why do the European alternatives suck so much?

- Pretty much all cloud providers seem (very) subpar to AWS. Some are better in a very isolated way, e.g. Hetzner offers better prices for cloud instances, bare metal servers and object storage. But they don't offer anything else. OVHcloud's web interface is terrible. Telekom Cloud runs Huawei hardware and software (!) and the dev experience is really bad.

- There's no real Cloudflare alternative.

- There's no real Google Workspace / Microsoft Teams competitor (Mail + Calendar + Drive).

- No search engine / Google alternative.

Or, let me rephrase this from another angle: In the US, startups regularly build serious competitor products to some of the incumbents mentioned above. Look at what fly.io and render.com did to Heroku, I think that's very impressive. Or hey.com slowly building a Gmail alternative, very cool.

So it's possible, technically.

But why not in Europe?

I can't get a satisfactory explanation for this observation. We certainly have smart people and good universities. Is it about funding? Or about the culture of not promoting entrepreneurship? Bureaucracy? GDPR?

I genuinely don't know. What do you think?
do you mean accessing data outside of your app's framebuffer? or just accessing neighboring pixels during a shader pass, because those are _very_ different things. GPU MMUs mean that you cant access a buffer that doesn't belong to your app that's it, its not about restricting pixel access within your own buffers

I'm still struggling at the moment to see where they fit in to the distributed nature of working with LLMs and other data sources.

For example, depending on the model I use in LMStudio - some can use tools, but it doesn't yet seem to support MCP - on the other hand, cursor does - but then either it's servers or via stdio - the setup isn't entirely clear.

Also it seems that giving random access to a LLM, even if local, via an intermediate server is ripe for abuse unless you know what it's doing?

What software development world do you live in where significant refactoring and rewrites aren’t commonplace? Every project I’ve ever had insider knowledge about started as a prototype and then was extensively reworked until it met the needs of the team…until the next set of requirements dropped and the cycle repeats.

If agent systems allow teams to spin up and test prototypes faster than they previously could do without the agents, isn’t that a useful and valuable step in the right direction?

Addendum: After rereading my comment I realize it may come off as argumentative when it was intended to offer a perspective of not requiring more from the current state of the tech than it offers. “Early days” and all that :)
