30 Years of ReactOS 6 months ago

I think it's not ready yet but I agree that eventually it will be. The 40th anniversary of ReactOS might have some substantial features. This is the decade of ReactOS!

30 Years of ReactOS 6 months ago

At some point AI might get good enough to write whatever is missing from that thing. Seems like they have the ability to wait it out.

I've been having good results lately/finally with Opus 4.5 in Cursor. It still isn't one-shotting my entire task, but the 90% of the way it gets me is pretty close to what I wanted, which is better than in the past. I feel more confident in telling it to change things without it making it worse. I only use it at work so I can't share anything, but I can say I write less code by hand now that it's producing something acceptable.

For sysops stuff I have found it extremely useful, once it has MCP's into all relevant services, I use it as the first place I go to ask what is happening with something specific on the backend.

This was your chance to provide the evidence to your claims. It is conjecture what you have provided. Waymo requires the remote operator make decisions often, such as at uncontrolled intersections when the lights go out, as shown in SF. Just because you don't see the strings doesn't mean they aren't there.

Optimus is early days, and my take isn't against remote operators but pointing out that Waymo relies on them much more than Tesla. You can go from 1 side of the country to the other without ever touching the wheel, something Waymo could not do. And the SF power outage incident showed us that it is actually only autonomous until it isn't, then you have a bunch of cars that can't move and won't and do not.

I can't tell if this was suppose to be for me, I am not Darren. The reply was on my thread...

My replies are at the same level as that which I respond to, never aggressive IMO.

And if you "knew" something about the relevant topic and leave it out, that in itself is part of the dishonesty.

So once you got a job at Google then you felt Waymo was better, hmmm.

Tesla has a robot taxi service that in some cases has nobody in the car. Also everyone that owns a Tesla has experienced FSD in which it goes from A to B without being touched which is the same as it driving by itself. A person just went cross country and back with this. So to say Tesla is doing none of the 100,000 things you think are required, I think that says more about what someone at Google thinks is needed vs what is happening on the ground.

I am not against remote operation in some cases, but those suggesting Waymo has solved this need to admit that it relies heavily on them for basic decision, like what to do when the power goes out at intersections.
