Why do you make it sound like showing up for half a day and casting a vote is some ultimate sacrifice. That is the minimum duty of a citizen.

Thank you American voters, who voted for Trump or sat out because the opposition wasn't "good" enough.

Sincerely,

European resident

Just a wild guess, but he's trying to have conservative government use this?

Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out "both sides" garbage.

It's a niche market, but if someone wants total control, then you get a mainframe even if it costs more and is an inferior service to the cloud providers.

Easier to do when you have a Chinese market as a captive to subsidize your product.

That being said, Chinese tech won't be better, but they will certainly be cheaper and it will eat into US tech's marketshare.

Also keep an eye out for RISC-V (open source) architecture. Chinese gov't is pouring billions a year to get away from x86 and ARM.

Apple is cooked. Not only are they going to get decimated in China, but they are going to see demand destruction in the US due to tariffs. And neither Trump nor Xi cares about Apple.

They've been spending tens of billions a year in their chip industry.

All electronics are made in Asia. So there will be no higher prices for consumers in the EU.

US consumers will get hammered with anywhere from 25% to 55% price increase in electronics.

I was on the newly opened Thessaloniki (Greece) subway line and it was autonomous.

There's already an autonomous metro.

I'm going to state an unpopular opinion. Bluesky should have ads, not a personalized ads that track users, but just simple ones at the very top of the feed. Consumers today are too addicted to free services, and companies need to be financially independent so that they can support a quality product.

A good way to stop companies from abusing H1B is to make the visa portable with the worker for a set number of years. If the company is underpaying/overworking them, the worker on H1B can just skip town to another company without fear or deportation. This makes it not worth while for corporations to hire H1B when it costs money and time.
