Yeah, as a dutch person I was already already not happy of our soldiers dying in a country that didnt do 9/11 not had weapons of destruction.
I remember Bush's words very clearly; "you are either with us or against us" which was a arm twister and not something an ally would do.
Little over 20 years later we are again forced to comply.
Not for freedom, not for righteousness. No again for oil to make a few in the USA even richer.
And this time its bipartisan.
I think the Americans that died for my freedom are rolling in their grave about what their children are doing with it.
How does ASML have any leverage here? They don't have any of the IP related to EUV. It is fully american owned. The actual light source is also physically manufactured in the US. They license the tech and "only" do assembly. They pretty much have no choice but to do what the US asks here.
You know that you don't have to do whatever Americans say, right? It will come with its own downsides, but it is a choice. Maybe it's the Dutch people who died for your freedom and independence who are rolling in their graves right now?
Normally I would understand our reluctance. But you know, old sentiment takes a long time to be overriden by new information.
The idea they have is "if we cooperate, we might not get hurt". But modern America will use you, empty you and then still turn their back on you.
So yes, I agree, better to cut ties now and start rebuilding without them. Now I just need to convince the people in power with all their investments in the USA.
Somerhing is finally happening. A consultant came talking about software choices. We asked for non US possibilities and he gave a few. While talking about ut, he mentioned the question came up a lot now, typically from governements and bigger corporations dealing with entities outside the EU. Discussion was done on management levels, not just on IT levels. It seems everyone is testing the waters.
Children of the people who fought for your freedom? Trump’s family coming from Germany, Rubio is of Cuban origin, … children of the people who fought in the war are in the “they took my job” boat.
* this dev can merge what he want instead of being stopped by those evil django developers
* it looks very cool on your cv
* hence the function name changes and the tiny notion at the bottom that the project is "inspired" by another. Absolutely crucial!
The US is investing in AI technology to try to preserve the empire and its capitalists as its economic power is starting to be eclipsed. This was basically an inevitable move. The rush to replace workers, speed run the production of a superintelligence singleton with barely a thought for safety or whether anyone even wants this, etc all flows from this basic impulse.
If they are successful, they are going to shrink their base of people that buy into this system domestically even further, so they need to bank on an ever shrinking locus of support. Autonomous weapons and mass surveillance are a necessity if your population has become restive and unreliable. However, I think unless they attain a certain level of capability, this will accelerate popular anger rather than suppress it. If they shoot protestors with robots, it could cause an explosion of popular anger rather than scaring people into submission.
No, he never stated that "claim that only Zig and C++ have ever had a strategy to replace C", you made that up.
And "Walter was not the one that brought up D" , he actually was.
Did the text get changed? because it seems you claim exactly the opposite of what is in about ~5 sentences, so it also can't be credited to "misunderstanding".
But didn't find any "D evangelism" comments in his history (first page), but then again, he has 78801 karma points, so I am also not going to put energy in going through his online persona history.
