Are you fucking kidding?

Tell me this: which government has actually funded bailouts of car companies repeatedly over the past 40 years: the Chinese or the US? The Chinese government has been clear for years that it wants a thriving EV sector and that requires consolidation in the coming years.

The projection is just off the charts.

It is the *US* auto industry that has been propped up forever by the US government, including fighting literal wars to keep the gas flowing.

Not merely "one of". The preeminent EV producing region. Europe is doing OK, Korea is doing well, Japan is way behind, and the US is going into a mad tailspin. China is ahead and will stay that way.

This is absolutely spot on. It's a shitty take from the Atlantic on a story that has been around for at least five years: the aggressive competition of the Chinese EV market, which is going to see some company failures in the years ahead. As opposed to the American way of bail outs. The notion that there is falling demand for Chinese EVs is absolutely a little lullaby that complacent US rich guys like to sing to themselves, but it bears no resemblance to the truth.

A Renault 5, Dacia Spring, e208, Inster, and literally dozens of other EVs are available for way, way less than $50k.

If education was an easy fix, we'd have an educated populace and ClickFix wouldn't be a problem.

The fact is, we live in eternal September. No matter how many people we educate, there's a unending firehose of exploitable n00bs arriving to replace them.

No, they are dumb. Because it is obvious that this approach cannot work.

I think the Chinese government needs to severely cull the number of EV manufacturers down to four at most: BYD, SAIC, Geely Group and Chery. And give them unlimited resources to make their EV's truly world-class vehicles that comply even with the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Irony or exceptionally naive statement? Difficult to say...

Simple: If it is slop and irrelevant, it still takes almost as much time to work on as a bug with high relevance. Google is overloading the projects engineering capabilities.

Like all other enterprises, Google is happy to take from the commons, but will not contribute unless publicly called out on it. As is happening here.

The problem is to discover whether it is AI slop or a real issue, you have to do 90% of the work anyways. Google is essentially doing a DoS attack on FFmpeg by delivering unvetted and often low-quality reports. Yes, that means the Google people behind this are _really_ dumb.

Very simple, although it is not a surprise YOU do, again, not get it: It requires most of the work, which is analysis, to find it is slop and slap that WONTFIX on it.

Indeed. Much of the school system is motivated by that. One of the reasons all good STEM courses have to teach _basics_ to their students, because school failed to do that.

Indeed. And after those years still being without any business model and not doing very well on quality or real-world potential.

Indeed. It is a clusterfuck and it will not do anything worthwhile. It will waste a lot of time and other resources though.
