Surely they cannot sell at this price without government subsidies (direct or indirect)?

This possibility paints a frightening picture of the power of government in the global marketplace. The government of any large country can selectively choose to monopolize any specific industry and wipe out all competitors in other countries via subsidies.

It's not a fair playing field for market participants. It makes the whole environment completely unpredictable and dominated by the whims of hundreds of different governments. It promotes government scheming over raw productive capabilities of workers and entrepreneurs; it throws decentralized economic efficiency under the bus in favor of monopolistic, centralized government-oriented strategies.

In such environment, I can understand why tariffs are essential. You can't have a market where participants are playing by different rules of different countries. Also, you can't expect market participants to familiarize themselves with the (possibly secret) policies of hundreds of different governments or be forced to abandon their entire industry in their own country because they happen to be skilled in an industry which is not propped up in their own country as it is in some other foreign country.

Our system is so incredibly asymmetric, right down to the monetary layer. People ought to refuse to participate at all.

BTW, it's not only China which plays these games; you could also say this about US tech/software industry.
BYD also charges ~double the price in other markets, including Mexico, compared to China. That makes it very close to a base Model 3, for much less car.
How B2B Companies Can Effectively Launch Their LinkedIn Presence?
How B2B Companies Can Effectively Launch Their LinkedIn Presence?

Many B2B companies prioritize LinkedIn for social media marketing. Here are key strategies for a successful launch:

1⃣ Expand Your Network (Connect)
The primary goal on LinkedIn is B2B business development, meaning you need to reach decision-makers.
Since LinkedIn allows personal accounts to manage company pages, your corporate page’s visibility is largely determined by the admin’s third-degree connections.
First step: The page admin should actively expand their own network to increase reach.

2⃣ High-Quality Engagement
Auto-generated congratulations (for job changes, promotions) don’t build real connections.
Real impact comes from valuable contributions in industry discussions.
Engage with industry KOLs by leaving insightful comments rather than just liking posts.
Choose KOLs with moderate engagement to avoid getting buried in comments.
If your comment is strong enough, reshare it on your company page—this builds credibility.
A KOL’s engagement = a powerful endorsement in front of your ideal customers.

3⃣ Content Strategy
Great content follows this rule: Teach me, Entertain me, Touch me.
Compared to Twitter, LinkedIn content should focus on professional insights—your motto should be “Follow me and make money.”
Share industry insights, product value, and actionable strategies instead of superficial content.
Don’t fear competitors copying your ideas—execution is the real challenge.

4⃣ Leveraging LinkedIn Premium to Build Trust

Beyond the usual company profile elements (name, industry, logo, website), there’s a powerful yet often overlooked feature:
Used by XXX Featured Customers
Why does it matter?
Potential clients check LinkedIn to assess your credibility.
While followers reflect industry influence, past clients validate trustworthiness.
By linking to customer profiles, prospects can evaluate your brand’s credibility firsthand.
This simple feature can significantly boost brand trust!

4 years in federal prison is a long time, especially for an 18 year old. Even if he earns the full 54 days of good-time per year, that's still about 3.5 years in prison. Best case scenario, when he gets out, he'll be a 21 year old felon without much or any higher education or vocational training.

You could certainly argue that he deserves a longer sentence, given the volume of swatting crimes he committed, but the rest of his life just got a whole lot harder.
Are they being fined or imprisoned? No.

What is happening is they are not being given a spot during briefings.

We have an existing oversight body, the OIG, which is a couple orders of magnitude larger than DOGE. And a reasonable statement you could defensibly make is that OIG isn't doing enough to curtail spending, the same way you or I aren't doing enough to prevent bugs in the code.

The only thing DOGE does, that OIG doesn't, is _not_ attempt to understand the value of the work being done.

The people in DOGE are of course a problem, but the process they're following is flawed from the get go, namely "judge programs based on the opinion of some uninformed outsiders".

It's true tho that Japanese universities have a problem with labs communication. In the former university I was a MEXT student in, there was at least three labs that could have collaborated on topics that my lab was focused one. Granted, one professor welcomed me in his lab to do some stuffs with his students. But otherwise it was like little fiefdoms taking pride in doing things alone. This is contrasting with what's going on (at least in intention) in French research.

One might hope it’ll cause Tesla to drop the price for their “full” self-driving too. $8'000 for a software feature is just bonkers. Especially in Europe, where there’s no subscription option, so you can’t even try it without paying the full price first, and many of the fancier features are not supported here. Even regular auto-pilot is not very reliable for me, it often fails to recognize city limits signs, and fairly often panic brakes because it misinterprets cars driving on the other side of the road as being on collision course.
Yes the FAA can issue what are called Airworthiness Directives and require an issue be resolved in the timeframe and manner they specify.

The timeframe could be anything, but common forms are like:

- Within the next X (flight) hours or Y calendar days

- You don't have to, but additional inspection needed every X hours or Y days until you do

- At next annual inspection

- Immediate/before flying again (usually called an Emergency AD)

"Simple language" is often used as shorthand for "a language in which it is simple to express ideas", rather than "a language with few features". A language can, in fact, have many features and still be simple(-to-write-in); or, like Go, it can have so few features that it is complex-to-write-in.

AIUI, the connector _on the GPU/PSU_ is slightly different, but the connector on the cable is the same:

> As with any new standard, things are likely to evolve quickly and we’re now seeing the introduction of a new connector on the GPU and the PSU side of things. To be clear, this is not a new cable, it is an updated change to the pins in the socket, which is referred to as 12V-2x6.

Corsair's messaging on Reddit[1] emphasises this:

> Cable is the same. a 12VHPWR cable is a 12V-2x6 cable. it is ONLY the plugs on the graphics card / power supply that have changed.

> The cable is the same. 12VHPWR = 12V-2x6. You will get the exact same cable if you upgrade to a new PSU.

> As mentioned in image one, the cable is the same. Only the plug on the graphics card / PSU changed from 12VHPWR to 12V-2x6.

To me, tariffs from the orange man are political theater and appeal to his base, and subsequently sell it via media.

What’s to stop manufacturers of goods from shipping it from a country that is not China, laundering it through a different country. Paper work for container says, “imported from {non tariff restricted country}” at the ship yard.

Cheap Chinese goods still flood the market. Orange man gets to say he has been hard on China via tariff war.
how would that car get access to Internet, if wireless providers are controlled by the USA ?

Verizon, ATT, Tmobile and their APNs are controlled by the FCC, and any regulation can force vehicle traffic to be isolated if there is credible threat.

There are tons of used Leafs online for under 8k USD that still have a range of 60-100 miles. Perfect around town car but the price seems to reflect that no one wants one.
This seems like doing a lot of +++ on one side and --- on the other, to say "its cheaper, for a cheaper car"

1) it's not as expensive as a model 3 in mexico

2) it's not as much lower end, when it comes to what drivers want, noting FSD is not actually on anyones radar, or "free" with the low end models

3) it's cheaper by a margin most people on rational incomes close to average would say is a LOT of money.
This is most definitely not true. Tesla was barely more than an electric powertrain and battery combo when Musk took over. The first production Roadsters even reused the chassis from Porsche 911s (IIRC).

Other US competitors aren't at parity with Tesla or BYD. Nikola went bust. Legacy automakers turned out mediocre EVs. Rivian is the only true competitor, but they are a luxury brand and don't have Tesla's crown jewel (the Supercharger network).
Have you considered the very practical importance of running specialized models for specialized tasks on common hardware (maybe a couple of CPU cores in a couple GB of RAM)?

I used Waymo in SF 6 months and it pulled behind a parked car, thinking it is traffic waiting to turn left. Also Waymo drive feels like drive of a 90 year old non confident driver, where as Tesla's FSD is in another level, drives just like a taxi driver.
> Because no counterargument, however simple, would be effective.

Please pardon directness, but to get to the heart of the matter after years of these helpless arguments (and in reference to Democrat officials, not to the parent): What a bunch of losers.

This problem isn't even hard on the scale of life and politics. The #1 problem - possibly the only real problem - is their loser attitude. Who ever accomplished anything with that attitude. The GOP, in constrast, thinks the impossible is possible, never stops and barely slows down after each catastrophe, after Trump's loss, after Jan 6 ... and they have transformed the country and the world.

At least SV and HN should appreciate that. And IMHO, the constrast between the two is where much GOP support for their insanity comes from. Who supports whiny, ineffectual, helpless leaders? What's even the point? Imagine the support someone with courage, capability (including effective communication and charisma), and a plan to win would instantly garner.

I get that companies are compelled to conduct layoffs. It’s disheartening that they can’t simply carry out the layoffs without labeling the employees who may have been affected as low performers. There will always be individuals who are undeservingly categorized. In an employer’s market, this label further complicates the process of finding a new job.

I was floored by what they are producing in China. It is a shame that these cars are not reaching more of the world and raising the competitive bar. I get the government subsidy and lower labor costs issues, but the tariffs are retarding competition, propping up prices, and hurting consumers.
>Am I missing something?

I mean for one that religion isn't frowned upon and that it's just a marketing slogan, but also if you want to actually look at it, the Chinese phrase used by BYD is: 天神之眼, what they've in English translated to "God" is, in Chinese "Tian" (Heaven) a very common concept you have in Taoism or Confucianism or pretty much any Chinese mythology. You might have come across the phrase Tianxia (天下) "under heaven". But for an Anglophone audience "God" is probably catchier.
There's ways to do that with the miSTer as well.

It's the same logic as people doing machineworking projects on YouTube. Things thought crazy, but not so crazy after all, fascinating instead. Going off the beaten path might be expensive at first, but the payoff is much better too. Emanating inspiration lasts for ages and is immeasurable in value.

If you bought a car in a big Chinese cities, you might complain about having to win in a lottery (Beijing) or pay in an auction (Shanghai) just to have the right to buy one. And even after that, you aren't allowed to drive your car everyday of the week.

Cars in America are still relatively cheap to buy and operate by world standards. They aren't much cheaper in China (and can become very expensive for non-econo luxury models), and you can face a lot of restrictions on when you can use them.

This response would *not* be soon enough. One response from a server, and the car could be bricked forever, explode/short circuit causing a fire, self-drive into the nearest government building, etc. A car is a huge weapon, especially when remotely controlled. This software could be pre-installed from the factory, with commands injected via side channels. I could imagine a hundred ways to do this.

> but, why would BYD or other nation sabotage its own future profits by bricking cars?? it doesn't make sense.

I'm precluding this situation with a background level of hostility between nations... they don't care about maximizing profit, but maximizing damage. It would be a government stepping in forcing this.

why would anyone trust usa's word if any agreement/word/promise can be torn unilaterally?
I'll admit I don't quite understand how EV demand works in lower income countries like Mexico. One of the major limits I see in the US is that the main appeal of having an EV is reasonably good (i.e. level 2) charging at home, which isn't an available option for many people in the US who don't have private garages with good electrical service. I feel like this limitation would be even more widespread in a country like Mexico, but maybe that's either incorrect or the appeal of EVs outside of the US doesn't rely quite so much on charging at home.

Your definition of "generative" as a statistical term is correct.

However, and annoyingly so, recently the general public and some experts have been speaking of "generative AI" (or GenAI for short) when they talk about large language models.

This creates the following contradiction:

- large language models are called "generative AI"

- large language models are based on transformers, which are neural networks

- neural networks are discriminative models (not generative ones like Hidden Markov Models)

- discriminative models are the oppositve of generative models, mathematically

So we may say "Generative AI is based on discriminative (not generative) classifiers and regressors". [as I am also a linguist, I regret this usage came into being, but in linguistics you describe how language is used, not how it should be used in a hypothetical world.]

No, branching works on GPU just like everywhere else - the instruction pointer gets changed to another value. But you cannot branch on a vector value unless every element of the vector is the same, this is why branching on vector values is a bad idea. However, if your vectorized computation is naturally divergent then there is no way around it, conditional moves are not going to help as they also will evaluate both branches in a conditional. The best you can do is to arrange it in such a way that you only add computation instead of alternating it, i.e. you do if() ... instead of if() ... else ... then you only take as long as the longest path.

This reminds me that people who believe that GPU is not capable of branches do stupid things like writing multiple shaders instead of branching off a shader constant e.g. you have some special mode, say x-ray vision, in a game and instead of doing a branch in your materials, you write an alternative version of every shader.
