> China will have the robot-operated factories, not the US. What do you anticipate the US will do to obtain goods from those Chinese factories?
Why not let the market take care of it? It's cheaper to buy things from China then make them yourself. When that changes, production will naturally move to the next best place. I don't see the issue.
Because no economic theory proposes that the efficient outcome is one where the US retains its sovereignty and independence. Nations seek to create bubbles of local maximums, not in maximizing the economic efficiency of the world as a whole. A world where american kids have to learn chinese and fight to immigrate to China may well be an economically efficient outcome from the point of view of the markets. But American policy should fight very hard against that outcome.
Because China doesn't share the same goals, desires, or policies we do. They will have the power and cards to dictate world policy if you roll over and let them dominate. Realpolitik matters here. You either dominate the future (or at least stay competitive) or you become a vassal state.
It's not snark, in your reply you for whatever reason cut out the context at the end of the sentence. "Lucky 10k" is referring to this xkcd comic [0] which I thought was a pretty good one and I've tried to take to heart. I was genuinely surprised, but that's the point, what one thinks is "common sense" or "everyone knows" is always going to be brand new to someone every single day. It's happened to me lots, and is one of the delights of HN, to learn about a whole new set of use cases you've never considered before. In this case maybe it will lead them to consider how it might be useful in their own offices or homes for that matter. Making a powerful machine run quietly is both challenging and can be fairly expensive. But if you have the physical space available, then you may be able to just use powerful, cheap loud fans by virtue of putting it in an area of a basement or the like away from living space/home office and accessing it remotely. Depending on how you do so the quality can be the same as if you were sitting in front of it.
Do you have a source that iOS Lockdown Mode protects against Cellebrite? Because Cellebrite boasts they can extract data from latest iOS versions and does not even mention Lockdown Mode as an obstacle in their documentation: https://stacker.news/items/617666
Right but we have the tools to rule that out. That's what the field of statistics deals with. It tells you with mathematical certainty how likely or unlikely the correlation you're observing is to be random.
I can't tell if you're intentionally misrepresenting what I said. I said we can tell with certainty "how likely or unlikely" something is, i.e. we can precisely calculate the probability.
That's what I did. It came up with smart-sounding but infeasible recommendations because it took all sources it found online at face value without considering who authored them for what reason. And it lacked a massive amount of background knowledge to evaluate the claims made in the sources. It took outlandish, utopian demands by some activists in my field and sold them to me as things that might plausibly be implemented in the near future.
Real research needs several more levels of depth of contextual knowledge than the model is currently doing for any prompt. There is so much background information that people working in my field know. The model would have to first spend a ton of time taking in everything there is to know about the field and several related fields and then correlate the sources it found for the specific prompt with all of that.
At the current stage, this is not deep research but research that is remarkably shallow.
