The problem today is that China and pretty much undermine any country's economy by subsidizing their domestic production.
No, they don't. The competition in China is cut-throat and the exported cars are not any cheaper than the ones in China. That's really all there is to it.
They cost too damn much.
He hallucinated.
The hits just keep on coming.
"They have my last name registered" - Yep, mine too. It's because they bought out an email service about 20 years ago that offered your last name within an email address: firstname@lastname.com. I was a customer of that company when TuCows bought them out. The first thing they did was raise the yearly fee considerably so I bailed, screw them. To this day they still have all those last names they sit on. It's been a long time since TuCows was The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software.
Obama tried to introduce universal health care but the Republicans made him change a lot of it.
And it originated from the (R) side. It's actually more properly known as RomneyCare as that was a fundamental pillar of his platform. Obama just adopted it thinking the (R) side would support one of their own proposals.
No. Like any software, AI requires maintenance, and that maintenance costs money, lots of money.
It does not. Models need nothing more than the storage of some gigs of weights, and a GPU capable of running them.
If you mean "the information goes stale", one, that doesn't happen at all with RAG. And two, updating information with a finetune or even LORA is not a resource-intense task. It's making new foundations that is immensely resource intensive.
Can you integrate it into your products and work flow?
Yes, with precisely the difficulty level of any other API.
Can you train it on your own data?
With much less difficulty than trying to do that with a closed model.
Dear Leader and his GOP's policy has exactly zero to do with anything Democrats advocate.
Yes and no. Someone on Slashdot a few months back had a great summary of this issue: He said something like
Donald Trump took the worst ideas from the far left and the far right, and combined them.
I love that take! For example, from the far left he took ideas like his anti-vaxx and anti-science views that led to nominating RFK Jr, plus his general fiscal irresponsibility. From the far right, he takes nationalism, racism, trickle-down economics, and yet another source of anti-science views on climate. He combines them with his own bad ideas like fluctuating tariffs and randomly antagonizing other countries.
I wish I had a link to the Slashdot comment that summarized this well.
Also, the parties switch every few decades, although most people don't even notice ("We were always at war with Eastasia!"). For example, prior to 9/11, the Democrats leaned anti-immigrant (because labor unions vote Democrat in the US) and Republicans leaned pro-immigrant (because businesses wanted both cheap labor and foreign Ph.Ds). 9/11 made immigration about religion and culture, so the pendulum swung the other way.
Ooh, here's another one! I recently learned that he promised college debt forgiveness to anyone who signs on to ICE. That particular abuse of power was Biden's idea, but Biden didn't tie student debt forgiveness to violence against immigrants. So Trump really amped that one up.
Just for the record: George Bush (R) negotiated and signed NAFTA in 1992 but he wasn't able to get the corresponding US bill passed before the end of his term, so Bill Clinton (D) signed the US law in 1993. Both presidents supported NAFTA.
If they want to win, the people need to see and experience the true impact of the laws passed by the Republicans.
That has been happening. More importantly, people need to see that Democrats are willing to stand up and fight rather than just rolling over for every nasty thing the Republicans are doing.
The Democrats are just terrible at strategy. Really, really bad.
In the sense that the elder Democratic Party leadership kept trying to play by the rules while the Republicans proved they are dishonest sociopathic fucks incapable of fair and honest behavior, you are correct. What we are seeing right now is that the younger Democratic leadership are taking charge and not playing along with Republican dishonesty any more. And again, part of the Democratic Party regaining support is proving by action that they are willing to fight.
Add to that, government shutdowns are just stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. The laws have already been passed, and now we just have to write the check to pay for what was already done. And trying to use it as a tool to force Republicans - many of whom would be happy if the government were shutdown forever - to negotiate? Not going to work.
Democrats negotiated and the party consensus is that Schumer "caved" last March during the prior budget negotiations. And what happened right after March? Republicans promptly RENEGED ON THE AGREEMENTS anyways, first canceling many promised policy votes and then using "rescission" to remove approved funding from various programs. The Republicans proved that they cannot be trusted.
So now the Democrats are actually fighting. And they're making it clear that this time, they're not just going to cave. And the proof that it's actually working? Look at Tuesday's election results.
EVERY open governor's race went Democrat, and not only that, all three beat the polling predictions by a pretty big margin.
California voted to redistrict and say "Fuck Texas" by an almost 2/3 majority.
Pennsylvania retained all 3 Democratic supreme court members by double-digit margins.
Dear Retarded MAGA Fuckwit and Likely Pedophile:
Why aren't the victims naming the people who victimized them? Because they are scared for their safety since many of the offenders are in powerful positions, like Treasonous Pedophilic Sack of Criminal Shit Donald Judas Trump.
Oh, and BTW, was Epstein accused of pedophilia? The official charges were: sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. Read that again and again until you understand it, you Dishonest Fucking Lying Pedophile.
