So much for the folks defending these three companies that refused to provide hard spending cap ("but you can set the budget", "you are doing it wrong if you worry about billing", "hard cap it's technically impossible" etc.)
As difficult as it sounds, we need to wait this crazy dude out, and do our best Vance doesn't take over.
Care to name a few?
By and large, women stopped "sacrificing" a while ago, globally - or at least reduced it by large numbers.
Which is completely fine.
But it makes the original point moot.
It doesn't look like they can break Ukraine anytime soon. And each month Ukraine bites back pushing the prospect of full-scale war with NATO (or what is left of it) even further.
> And the EU regime plans what? To send European military age men to die in a faraway foreign country fighting for foreign interests while their homes and way of living are under attack.
First of all, there is no "EU regime", only countries threatened by Russia daily, which decided they need to increase their defence spending to deter Russia. Europe collectively decided NOT to send people "to die in a faraway foreign country fighting for foreign interests" in spite of Trump's pressure to do so.
Interesting, I can't recall a single voice "Oh I'm so happy they changed their corporate strategy" but many of "I'll believe it when I see it".
What did you choose instead?
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it what aot was supposed to solve?
If you want to discuss it on that level, it if Finnish tech imported to the USA, inspired by a Dutch implementation of a research OS.
On a more serious note, Linux has been developed by many individuals all over the world, you can't put a nationality stamp on it.
That's true but you can leave for Canada or Europe.
I have the opposite impression. In the past, I'd very often react "WTF who'd ever want to use it?" in my mind, whereas the comments were very kind and supportive.
Now, whenever someone submits their AI slop, they mostly hear some comments about this. The very fact that this whole thread is about bashing Simon speaks for itself. The HN community is split between those aggressively promoting it, those hating it, and the rest of us using it in one way or another, not yet sure about full-scale consequences for the future, and quite frankly powerless about it.
Not really "much power" but more like a viable alternative: in a world where everybody needs LLMs to do their white-collar work, you can't force me to use your paid LLM subscription as my local-running model is close enough.
And we're just in Q1 of 2026... I can hardly imagine the long years of 2027 and 2028.
What they can and have started to do is to make deals with partners like Ukraine to diversify their defense systems so they are independent from the USA.
Imagine you elect the president because he promises he will finish wars instead of starting them. And after it's elected, he's doing exactly the opposite. Philosophical question: ws he elected 'duly'?
And how he would do that, exactly?
I still use more traditional approach for finding bugs and other issues in my code, but the agentic workflow doesn't give me any net value.
