Everyone involved including ASML has made it clear that will not result in China holding working equipment.

No, they wouldn't, not if that someone is an average child.

It is the driver's responsibility not to kill people in crosswalks whether they are paying attention or not. How many people have you driven over?

That's not going to make China catch up to "the US" because it's not China vs the US. It's China vs. the world. Literally no country wants China to be in charge of chip production except maybe Russia, and even then only because 1) they have absolutely no hope of being competitive themselves, ever, given the way they run their country; and 2) China is still happy to do business with Russia since no one can afford to sanction them for it.

Probably, but no US automaker will be among those. The US won't let them fail because they are defense contractors. If we have a war we need them to make vehicles. The bulk of units will be drones, but we will still need tanks and whatnot.

No fucking shit. All the AI companies are working "with" their respective governments. So what?

Apparent to who, crack smokers? A lot more has changed since 1970 than just the hood lines. If you don't understand that then you're fundamentally underequipped to participate in this conversation.

I'm asking you to come up to speed on your own without expecting everyone else to do the work for you, like an adult would. Pretend you are one.

No one said that. Stop making shit up.

No, we did not. We know that's not why we did it because we did not end slavery. We only made it the sole privilege of the state. If you could read, and read the amendments to the constitution, you'd know this.

Fuck off, illiterate.

Just curious....does Anthropic and other AI companies as a matter of policy prohibit connections from China or any of their co-horts?

Do they block all IP addresses from china?

And there we have ity. this is allso a self reinforcing system, due it it being dangerous to walk no one walks so waking walkable neighborhoods will never be a priority because everyone drives eventyrere anyway so..

Unless you are in one of the view ultra-urban cities....no we just aren't built to be "walkable"....hasn't been a need or impediment so far to be honest....it's just our way of life here.

And we're not going to be spending exhorbant amounts of money to rip and and redo our cities.

Personally I dont wanna live somewhere where I'm required to live in dense housing and share walls with neighbors. I prefer to have a front and especially a back yard where I can fence it in or my dogs, so I can set up my large log burning offsent smoker, sent up for parties with friends and neighbors for crawfish boils, etc....

I'm VERY happy being "non-walkable"....my cars and motorcycle suit me just fine for shopping, travel and just having fun out on the road....

I don't have trucks or SUVs myself....but to each their own.

Do look for that Jay Leno video...they discuss this and apparently this does not increase the weight....they apparently have plenty of strength through other means....

Pricing and costs are only slightly related. Infotainment in particular is grossly overpriced.

Learn to Internet, troll

Vehicles normally don't have "side panels" and it's not just a cost reduction measure.

If you're willing to implement "custom options" then you could make it 4wd yourself, without any help from them, like any other pickup.

We taught kids to use crosswalks, now drivers are mowing them down there because the hoods of their pickups are so high that they cannot see them crossing. This is all stuff you would know if you were paying attention.

Thanks for proving you're not paying attention.
