They won't because it costs votes. Is it better for the US in long term that these jobs are automated?

It is not just hobbyist. My friend runs a business of smart stove tops and they do have a lot of R&D which needs small runs as they fine-tune the electronics and test them out. All the R&D is now moving out.

US is 15% of China, but China is 40% of US imports.. Maybe you are mixing up the countries?

You are missing a key point.. What is duolingo's success measured on? Not on how well their customers learn (they have already paid at this point).. but how much content is there (This number directly correlates to the signups). I am s

For a very small set of people, it is true. For the rest of 99.99% of the world, it is impossible.

For those price-comparing, it is $20K after the federal incentives. So, its real cost is around $27K which makes it way more expensive than what the article claims.

I think there is a strong usecase for custom knowledge bases. It has always been hard to organize knowledge and wikis and others go only so far.

No.. you can have one set of chromosomes, but completely different hormonal influence.

I think this is true for a lot of things.. Physical infrastructure left behind creates an abundance which is available for cheap and is already a commodity. People can invent on top of those. Digital systems are ephemeral and leave nothing

The dodgy part is what happens after someone dies. The stocks get a one-time relief from capital gains as it moves to the heir. This gives opportunity for the heirs (or the estate) to sell the stocks to pay back the loan. That is the loopho

In my previous discussions here, many people have claimed that US is better than China specifically because there is rule of law and freedom of speech even if the overall quality of life is worse here. Now, it seems there is no freedom of s

Why should there be a globally relevant software company? How about locally relevant software companies? If it is successful enough to pay for its own expenses and decent income for the employees/founders, it is a good business.

I found it hard to understand the fundamental belief of Oren that the other countries are free-loading off US, when US encouraged/forced those countries to be US production factories. They are either free-loading or US made them to be

Wasn't Deepseek also big on RL or was that only for logical reasoning?

One is strategic and other is tactical. The goal is the strategy and the process is tactical. Just having a goal without specific means of achieving it is useless.

My team built automation for the product recalls in 2011. The process roughly was: 1. Pull the listing off. 2. Inform warehouses to pull the product off the shelves and move them to a separate area. 3. Try and get shipments stopped. 4. Noti

Is there one for Chinese light novels too? There are too many that are partly translated and I am desparate to get a different translation than one from MTNL.

Thanks for the explanation.. It still does not make sense to me.. A novel solution without deductive reasoning or a novel solution without empirical observation?

I know it is several days, but Europe and Australia have given up their foreign policy independence in return being part of US defense umbrella. Western Europe and Australia will toe the US line pretty much always, even if it is against the

What would you consider "priori" knowledge? Issac Newton said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.". I am struggling to think of anything that can be considered a solution and can be cre

Having built a failed semantic search engine for life sciences (bioask when it existed), I think the last point should be the first. Not getting a product market fit very quickly killed mine.

Seems like I like arguing.. let us go with your definition.. US has several outlying territories. US has around 800 military bases around the world. In SK and Japan (and to a large extent in Australia), US dictates the policies. The world i
