For a major economic downturn. We are already deeply deeply in the major economic downturn due to the Republicans.

Just hoping we don't have a total complete collapse. You can't keep putting pedophiles in charge of everything and expect things to hold together.

On some level you have to know that.

As for why Democrats are the solution you're not Americans so you wouldn't understand this but we have winner-take-all first past the post voting and we don't have any kind of parliamentary system.

This means we inevitably get two parties because any attempt of the third party just pulls votes away from one of the other two and results in single party rule.

To fix this we would have to overhaul our entire voting and political system but that's easier said than done.

So we have a choice between the Republican party who are openly fascists and getting real comfy with actual Nazis not just the dog whistle kind or our conservative party which is the Democrats.

Remember fascists aren't conservative and the Republican party in America is not a conservative party. They are radical extremists because they will do whatever it takes to get what they want. That leaves the Democrat party as the de facto conservative party in America

I'm not going to an AI-coded anything until it's had a few years to get analyzed and the faults addressed. Yes, I treat other software the same way, it just tends to have a longer history by default.

I don't get why LO doesn't have live pivot. It's got pivot tables, you just have to generate them for every change. It seems like this should be relatively easy to address?

Yes, they do need to be an expert at digitization. This myth about clueless clowns being able to manage departments is just that. It's a story only believed by idiots. If you can't do the job of your hires then you can't manage them correctly either. Obviously there are exceptions like people who can no longer do the job because of an injury or similar, but in general those who can't also can't manage. That's what happened to Boeing!

You're more cowardly than an AC as you run away like a little bitch every time it's proven you were wrong. Not impressed by your sad attempt at cock swallowing to be relevant. Tim Apple will never give you gold.

All of which cannot be described as "heavy". You didn't read the summary or any of the comments in the thread to which you replied, where the same exact discussion was already had. Are you confused by RMBs as well?

The US is a major producer of aluminum and has been for decades. That's how we were able to sell it to the Axis.

It's for training LLMs to control robots without having to build the robot or the training environment in the real world.

So this is a Snapdragon CPU laptop that will be targeted at the military. This is not a replacement for a Dell XPS or a Lenovo Yoga, if that's what you hoped.

But, this is a start in the right direction with regard to the U.S. on-shoring computer manufacture.

Not really. It's a military thing, so it's more like the military is paying $10,000 for a laptop with specs that cost $2000. Sure, there's ruggedization and all that, but most of it is just profit as well.

As much as on-shoring is, I don't think the American public will be amenable to paying twice as much for a laptop as they used to, even with the increased RAM costs driving prices even higher.

Sure, for military use, fine, it makes a lot of sense, and paying way too much for goods has been the MO for the military since forever. But for the consumer, not so much - especially when the costs of everything is so high already.

And never forget that these Snapdragon laptops haven't generally reviewed that well either - usually along the lines of "sluggish", which is why they haven't really taken over the market with the exception of Apple.

It's on-shoring as much as tariffs have on-shored everything else. It just raised the prices of everything you're paying for, and nothing new is happening.

I think they should, yes, but when advertising is employed I'm that way hyperbole seems allowed. Also they can claim they will match prices if you ask.

Thanks for that info. It stands to reason it was something technical.

False. "Hard" in this context means output vs cost input. Helium is insanely hard to purify compared to hydrogen which in a pure form is trivial to make (you can split water or reform natgas). The problem with helium is its concentration. Most gas fields have helium but at concentrations that don't make it remotely viable to run a purification plant. The fact that it's just "the cryogenic method" is doing a lot of handwaving. It's not "the cryogenic method". It is "THE cryogenic method". The most energy intense and difficult one we have. That energy comes from somewhere and the people who spend money on that energy expect to make it back in the cost of the product. There's a reason nearly all purified helium in the world comes from 3 specific unique gas fields. IT'S FUCKING HARD TO SEPARATE.

As for the "keep stored", that's just bullshit because we don't have a requirement to keep every atom or molecule of hydrogen and fluorine in a container. You want to store hydrogen, fill a bottle at pressure, or an isotainer cold, both of them are easier than helium. But the reality is we don't actually need to do it. The thing is we don't store hydrogen or fluorine in any large quantity typically, we make it on site because it is trivial to do so. You want to purify hydrogen? Pressure Swing Adsorption man, doesn't even require a compressor much less a highly energy intensive cryogenic process. You can slap that on the back of a gasification plant or a steam methane reformer both of which can take just normal hydrocarbon as feedstock.

Yes... in very specific gas fields. Did you read my post? Nearly all purified helium in the world comes from 3 specific fields because they are the ones viable for economies of scale. The rest produce party balloons.

I saw the train coming towards me 1 minute ago, and here I am and it still hasn't hit me despite standing on the tracks is not a very good life philosophy. It's one that leads you to turning into a red stain on the train carriage's windshield.

If you disagree I'll have you know I've never been hit by a car despite j-walking, so I suggest you ignore all red lights, they are clearly meaningless.

It's the only thing holding up the stock market. Frankly I don't want it to burst because when the stock market collapses they're going to take it out of my hide and yours like they always do. If we want to survive that we need a democrat in the White House and Democrats in charge of Congress when it happens and frankly I think we all know that but we'll be damned if we're going to let those highfalutin Washington insiders tell us what to do right?

Also the AI bubble in America is being used to loot our 401ks so we've got a ways to go before it pops. There is 10 trillion dollars there ripe for the taking and the Epstein class will be damned if they let you have it just because it's yours.

Maybe putting an orange pedophile famous for bankrupting businesses and ties to the Russian mafia in charge of your financial future was a bad idea but I'm not an expert.

Modern factories have a little or no jobs once they're built and they don't take all that long to build.

So this is completely irrelevant.
