I agree, western automakers could easily lower prices.

1. Get rid of unions

2. Lower wages in auto manufacturing AND every industry in the supply chain (mining, etc).

3. Every country that manufactures cars needs to mine and produce its own materials (may need to create more humans to work these industries)

The engineers and designers at BYD make less money than assembly line workers in Germany or the US.

American vehicles are way too big even by my standards, but the cars you listed, I would have a hard time getting into or out of the rear seat. Gotta be at least mid-size and up for me.

We subsidize EV purchases in much of Europe, regardless of where they’re made. That way there’s no economic warfare, you’re not pushing cheap product to drive competitors out of business.

The Chinese model is designed to kill off competition worldwide so they can eventually raise prices. They can afford to do it because unlike every other country with a manufacturing economy, they can use tax money to do whatever they want without worrying about re-election and also they are the world’s most important trade partner. It’s easier to stop trading with the US or EU than with China.

Ugh ffs why would anyone use Uber anyway when we have Bolt and I’m assuming some other services (but Bolt is the main one here since it’s an Estonian company and I’m Estonian)

I’m assuming that in this instance a “full set of cards” just means realizing you’re not the second coming of Jesus Christ himself.

Guardrails will improve too, because trust eventually becomes a competitive advantage.

Thing is, as an LLM user you don’t want guardrails usually. Someone else wants it to have guardrails so you can’t get all the information you want.

If you’re reverse engineering something, you don’t want the guardrails to say “hey this is copyrighted, I can’t do this”. I’m assuming terrorists don’t want the guardrails to stop the LLM from giving them info on chemical weapons. And if you’re religious, you probably don’t want guardrails to stop the LLM from talking about religion with you

But then nobody knows about the game, it won’t sell well, and there’s no money to make the next one

I exited out of all American ETFs earlier this year so I’m feeling good about myself lol

Yes, but that doesn’t mean it was a trillion dollars that changed hands, or even anywhere close to a trillion necessarily.

Well yes but that doesn’t mean an entire trillion dollars existed first. Valuation goes by the latest trade price, not total purchase price of all stocks.

A million people could all buy a share of something that has a million shares for 1 dollar and then the some person buys one off one of the investors for 1000 dollars and nobody’s selling for any less than that. Congratulations, it’s now a billion dollar company. Now some people realize it’s a bubble and lower their sell price to 10 dollars. A few people buy. It’s now a 10 million dollar company. 990 million was wiped off the stock market.

That obviously simplifies it but you get the point.

Upvote to downvote ratio

Yes.

Voyager shows username, he probably changed display name

I’m not sure since they’d just be getting the news as soon as posted rather than ahead of time which would be insider trading

But of course insiders already get it before it’s posted I’m pretty sure

My ex’s best friend is one of… 11? 12? I forgot. Probably more by now. Both parents of that family are weird but as far as I can tell it’s mostly the mom who wants more but… I’m not entirely sure if she actually wants more children or she just likes getting parental pay which is 18 months in this country. On 12 kids that’s 18 years that she hasn’t had to go to work. Don’t think the woman in the picture got 18 months

Could keep the starter going though

Yeah, kinda weird things for a grocery store chain to do, but who am I to question them

Hey I can see a use case for this

As an European, I could take a trip to Mexico, try Chipotle, then try local food and I’ll know exactly how much better authentic Mexican food is

Yeah if the ingredients and labour are cheaper for locals then they’re cheaper for Chipotle too

I’m not a furry but I’m furry
