In terms of PPP, China spends about 60% of what the US does. And looking at the trend over the last 15 years, that number will overtake the US fairly soon. > Since the collapse of the USSR in 1990 its not clear to me why US spending on m

Why can’t you do that in the open? Normally I don’t think people have a moral obligation to open source, but if you’re using AI to reimplement an existing open source library I think you do.

That’s a stretch for the topic at hand. You can say hey the US does this probably morally equivalent thing, but when people are talking about subsidizing domestic companies so they can outcompete foreign companies in foreign markets, this i

Sure the US benefits by giving arms to Ukraine, or having bases in other countries. But that has nothing to do with the topic at hand which is market dominance for some industry. >Boeing DOD contracts This is probably the closest compari

China spends close to 10x what the US does on agriculture subsidies.

US Arms exports bring in around $13 billion a year. The military industrial complex is a domestic jobs program that sells the vast majority of what it makes domestically. The US is clearly not spending a trillion dollars a year subsidizing

The US dollar being the global reserve currency makes exports more expensive though.

Unless Canadian prices are much much higher than US, the only Prusa that costs that much is a Core One L or a Prusa XL. Neither one of those are equivalent to a P1S. They’re 2 tiers above it. Equivalent Bambu printers sell for about the sam
