That's the neat part, you can't.

I love how quick it is and that it can run screen savers. My site has a similar concept with drag and drop but is using BoxedWine behind the scenes so it's a bit slower to boot up. Also very cool the "View Resources" part.

Luckily everyone else in the comments is an expert. And also doesn't recognize that Tesla's already drive themselves and did not need Lidar. They also mischaracterize the reasoning.

It's sad how few competitors have come out in a decade.

How do you steal open source code? It's open.

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!

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.

If they design the chip it is theirs. If you are saying fabs then nearly nobody has their own chips. But they plan to make fabs too.

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.

The safety driver is the remote operator that makes decisions for things as basic as uncontrolled intersections.

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.
