  • Not quite? Ok so according to the article it is supposed to challenge the status of AUTOSAR. This is something used exclusively in automotive ECUs which most of the time use the operating system shipped with AUTOSAR compliant vendor. This OS is much much simpler than Linux is with totally different design goals and requirements. Think bare-bones no MMU operating system. It would be closer to FreeRTOS than Linux.

    However the story does not end here. Together with an operating system the vendor delivers all tooling for development, which includes such gimmicks like visualization of task scheduling in comparison to resource usage. You can inspect worst case scenarios without even running the compiled software and make sure that hard real-time requirements are always met.

    Now, this space is dominated by one company from Germany named Vector… You see where this goes.

    Source: worked with AUTOSAR many years ago. I hated it because the tooling is so advanced it is mostly point and click programming


  • One of President Donald Trump’s top officials has warned European allies hesitant about working with Elon Musk’s satellite Internet company that they needed to choose between US and Chinese technology.

    Oh they can go fuck themselves and choose between Chinese Huawei and Korean Samsung for their terrestrial cellular networks, thank you very much. Ericsson and Nokia are European and we have technology required for low orbit direct to mobile cell networks.

    Want to piss them off even more? Remind them that they have sold Alcatel Lucent and Bell Labs to Nokia.


  • It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect “fresh people” to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?

    Interesting times ahead of us.













  • Look up “spółdzielnie mleczarskie” in Poland. https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spółdzielnia_mleczarska

    Milk cooperative? Is this how it translates?

    Sorry for not translating the whole Wikipedia article, but TLDR this is how high quality dairy is produced in Poland, where everyone from smallest to larger farms can cooperate and coexist.

    30 years ago there was even this now non-existent elaborate network of milk collection and delivery (we have shops now :p) - every morning there was a transport organized through every small or large village where everyone farmer even with only one cow could sell the milk. As the number of such farmers went rapidly down this has stopped being done.

    Of course you can still find big corp dairy products in the stores (Nestle? Danone?) but they have a hard time competing and I am not sure but they still might buy their supplies from polish cooperatives.
