The entire premise is simply “not China”?

I was told manufacturing jobs would come flooding back to this country.

But you weren't told when. This sounds like a way to get cheaper labor and less environmental rules; and I doubt they can ever scale anywhere Cole to China in terms of output or price. China could simply drop prices to make this an unattractive investment, leaving it just another promise to appease Trump without having to actually do anything substantive.

The worst is that most of "the haters" -aka- grandpas, either indeed never tried it, or are simply not competent enough to write a prompt to an AI.

That means their conclusions are based on wrong premises.

Some may be, but anecdotally, the ones I know don't hate AI and even use it. It's not going to replace them, by the time it is good enough to do so they'll be retired. They've got theirs, and if AI can make their job easier as they ride off Ito the sunset, then so be it.

If you are a senior pony express rider and the automobile just started rolling out how do you train the next generation of riders? They'll be around for a while longer and they may start using AI development natively as part of how people programme in the future...eg they will become the car drivers and truckers that replaced all them horses but sure there will be disruption and teething issues. Still someone has to know how to fix the AI when it breaks...

I get your point, but I think there is a difference between the tool (pony express) and the system that uses it (delivery). You can change the tool but if people don’t know how the system works, you will have problems.

When a new administration comes in and uses the same tactics against those who now cheer such actions and yell "Hooray for our side" will be screaming how unfair it is. All of a sudden, payback makes what seemed like a good idea ta the time wasn't.

Did that happen when Trump 1.0 ended? I don't recall that the Biden administration followed the same playbook that Trump did.

Not claiming Biden did it, just that once the precedent is established and power yielded to the executive or government, it becomes one more tool both sides can wield. You saw some of that when Trump made a guns comment and all of a sudden the Bill of Rights became important again.

Why are we landing the capsule in water at all? Everything is in motion, and failures quickly cause the capsule to fill with water.

You'd need to find a suitable uninhabited, federally owned, landing spot with no obstructions, something not easy to do in the US. The Russians have the space to do it, we really don't, even out west.

A consequence of the regime getting that power in this case through the courts would be that it is much easier for them to do the same in future cases.;

Meta's free to decide what ads it wants to run. They're a commercial platform so it's not a free speech issue, although I suspect some will try to frame it as one. Blocking the lawyers ironically can help them since now they are getting press about the lawsuits and can trumpet "10 reasons Meta doesn't want you to know your being harmed. Number 5 will amaze you."

Comment Pricing (Score 1) 56

If the rumored pricing of $2000 is true, it will be interesting to see how many they sell. I've seen a few people with folds, mostly playing games. I don't see how it ofers any advantage over videos in terms of view size since the screen aspect ratio changes and would result in black bars to maintain the video's AR.
