I think it’s less about US media propaganda and more that the EU put large tariffs on Chinese EV imports which stopped that. In Germany specifically thought, there is a lot of German brand loyalty as well, which is a factor. It’s more of the PHEVs that are Chinese imports because those have lower tariffs.

Not necessarily a bad thing but could have some unforeseen repercussions.

They were, but EU placed high import taxes on Chinese EVs to counter this, so I think in places like Germany (which is a county that’s pretty brand loyal), Chinese EVs only make up 10% of all EV sales.

I mean even when you go to Goodwill, it’s not like 99% of the books are rare or irreplaceable. How many copies of Patterson books does the world need to begin with?

Many people do those same things for the attention and acceptance of others around them. I’d say more people do that when it comes to things like make up and dressing well. Human are social creatures and want to be accepted by others.

These days, you could spend 30+ minutes writing a thoughtful reply and deliberately avoid argumentative tone and words, only to be accused of using or being an AI.

Because unfortunately that’s how people are sourcing so much of their ‘facts’. And it’s even easier for them to simply copy and past the AI generated result rather than to learn and investigate.

But then again, even if say ‘you’ are wrong, or your mind has been changed, are you really going to go in and update your comment, or actually let the person know? Probably not.

It’s exactly what they meant. Replacing people coding things into electronic medical records, automating transcription, and reducing administrative burden is exactly what AI should do. This frees up time for caregivers to actually care and see more patients rather than sitting in front a computer all day.

If you read the article is was nurses that were essentially doing administrative work and not actual patient functions. The stuff that AI absolutely should be replacing. It seems though that at least from the story, the nurses weren’t able or weren’t needed at that hospital for patient care.

Yeah, basically for every hour a doc spends with a patient, they spend 2 hours with the electronic medical record, even with scribes. A whole lot of effort is going to modernizing and automating this, as it will free up a whole lot of doctor and nurse time, which is sorely needed.

LOL 30’s is not older woman. Girl get help. Like honestly. Everyone here is telling you that you aren’t normal and you are either lying to yourself or delusional (oh, it’s both).

Snoring doesn’t mean sleep apnea. And your bf just watching you sleep is 1. creepy and 2. not a diagnosis.

Nah, your tests aren’t normal. You likely have messed up things with too much caffeine, too much stress, and very likley are overweight and have sleep apnea.

Get a sleep study done, exercise more and work on healthy sleep habits and you probably will fix things. Very few people need to chug 2+ energy drinks a day to feel ‘tired’.

Maybe everyone has their biases, but MacOS is often terrible in comparison to Windows, at least in my experience. Hell simply things like snapping windows appropriately MacOS absolutely is trash at still.

It’s very true. You recognize that Dell always runs discounts and the only people paying full price would be corporations or ignorant people such as yourself? Literally Dell is running a discount to bring the price down to $1,300. Wild how price inefficient Framework is, for something you can’t get until at least October, when every other manufacturer you can get now.

Umm that intel processor is the weakest of the bunch. The i9 version you can’t even buy from Framework currently. I get the homerism for Framework, but I guarantee you that they will be out of business within 5 years.

I don’t think you get the point. To upgrade a Framework, even if you are able to move the ram and SSD over, you literally can get an equivalent laptop from another manufacturer with new RAM, SSD and the screen, battery and everything else, and still use the old laptop. With Framework, you move parts over and slowly upgrade. It’s not sustainable at the current costing for anyone except for people who are very into home repair.

Framework is moving all over their laptops to LPCAMM2 because the newer platforms require it for faster RAM, the alternative would be soldered on RAM which defeats the entire purpose of Framework, as you wouldn’t be able to ‘upgrade’ your laptop or repair it.

$20 for two drinks at the bar? Must be some cheap drinks, hell I haven’t seen cocktails under $15 in a couple of years now, and craft beer pints are $10+. Wild how much prices have ramped up, but our paychecks sure haven’t.

Umm, not sure if you have seen Framework’s prices.

The current 13in with a weak intel processor is $1850 (and you can’t get it until October). To buy an equivalent Dell? Around $1,000 and you can get it tomorrow. The upgrade cost for the motherboard (say you want to switch to AMD), will cost you $900. For that $3k you can buy 3 Dells all with ram and storage.

And no, they aren’t positioned well without RAM as their newer ones use LPCAMM2. You don’t have that just lying around.

That would be great, except it seems that most companies are actively discouraging you from using their website, as it’s easier for them to list through Amazon. Recent experience was the product on the website was higher prices, slower shipping and a restocking fee if you need to return. Amazon? Next day, ‘free shipping’ and easy returns.

Not sure unless the place exists locally and you can go in store and actually buy something (that’s becoming rare as well), that there is a better way except to not buy anything in general.

Isn’t that no different than the millions of open source projects that have few authors, little interest and are abandoned for the next shiny thing? At least in my mind with the current state of LLMs, if there is an open source project that you want to update for yourself, you should be able to do that pretty easily.

Exactly. Oh I have this small problem, or solution I want to solve. Great I can put something together quickly and move on with life. I am not selling it, and it’s not even needed for ‘open source’ because its often incredibly niche problems that I am trying to solve for, that I wouldn’t be able to do elsewise.

For me, it’s been super helpful to write personalized things quickly that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. Are these things I plan on maintaining for decades? Hell no. But there is no current solution, this isn’t a commercial product, and I always have the code in case I want to make adjustments in the future.
