I know it's brutal, but my kids were raised with iPads, PS3-5, computers, age inappropriate Minecraft and youtube, all kids of gadgets and turned out ok, already earning money (in tech of course) - one is in UX / product building, another more on the core math/theorem side.
Protecting kids from tech is like raising your kids in a glass house, yes they are fine while inside but then what?
Your kids were raised on those before predatory people and unscrupulous corporations learned how to take advantage of them at scale.
To protect against those, you have to make kids super-early adopters like yours, make them use tech that is ahead of the curve relative to the mass market, or go the other direction entirely and have them a couple of levels behind the curve so they are not targeted.
Curious about the motivation. The current conflict in Iran once again reminds us of how it;s all intertwined.
The blockade of Strait of Hormuz means helium shortages means no chip production, means your EU based alternative is not getting chips so you really don't have an alternative unless you can somehow magically wish a whole fairly alternative supply chain of EU based rare minerals, fabs, nvidias etc
Privacy: the US has laws that allow security services to access all data of all companies that are in US jurisdiction.
Risk management: the US government uses dependency on US companies as leverage to put pressure on other countries.
Freedom: the US government published a security strategy that basically declares European liberal democracies as enemies. I like living in a European liberal democracy so I try not to support those who want to take that away with my money.
It's the global economy. It's actually a good thing to promote peace between people with differences. But when one person or group decides they know better it messes everyone up. The idea was that the global economic interconnection would discourage it, now things are moving towards a no trust environment.
Europe is working towards being independent or at least not so heavy dependent, it's a good thing, but in the long term this idea of isolation for everyone isn't great.
Many people in EU wants to distance themselves wherever possible from US. It's not an all-or-nothing. Of course people will continue to use Nvidia, Netflix and so on, but if there are European options then many people prefer that.
Yeah. For me threatening to invade Greenland was a super red flag. I have not cared about US privacy & security laws. Even if people have talked about it and snowden exposed a lot, over a decade ago.
But by treating Greenland...
I see a real shift in the political environment from the EU [1]
I think you'd want to offer morethan a problem statement when taking CEO time. Yes it's broken because shareholders demand M$ products have AI feature so that the share price has the 'AI' multiple.
It's pretty hard to justify the stock price, even with the current, high earling from the cloud so they are looking for hte next golden goose
the headline is pretty stupid - compares a model to a GPU that models run on. Somewhere in that data centre, some part of Sonnet infferencing runs on a 900$ GPU or maybe even cheaper Google tensor
My father was pretty serious about this as a hobby - SP7DRV - had shortware CW and voice connections with pretty much all the coutries, remote islands (when there was an expeditions) and some countries that do not exist anymore so his tally was more countries than there are in the world.
Personally I prefer the convenience of fibre connection + TCP/IP but I get that in a time of hypothetical crisis or war this could prove useful.
War in Ukraine shows it's more Starlink + Internet rather than HAM radio but there's still a use case.
My father, W1HDX, similarly was so into HAM that it was a large part of my childhood, even though I never got my license. I very much remember his explorations of packet radio in the very late 1970s. And when he put up a couple of large dish antennas in the yard to start receiving weather satellite transmissions, the entirely ignorant neighbors complained that he was "irradiating the neighborhood" and the other local kids thought he was talking to space aliens. These days he's into mapping the radio emissions of H1 regions.
One thing I learned about logic is that if you start with a false statement, whatever comes next doesn't matter "almost all valuations and returns are driven by corporate earnings" no they are not, at least not anymore.
Then you're going to have a hard time learning any subject.
Because it's pretty common for educational materials to start with the first-order approximation, then go into the places where you need second-order corrections to it.
If you think the first-order approximation is false because there are exceptions, and you aren't even willing to read a few paragraphs down to find out about the exceptions and nuances, then hey, it's your loss.
Unfortunately for a lot of performance and luxury oriented Car manufacturers, EVs are a death trap - since they don't have access to any special battery chemistry, the drivetrain is basically a commodity - you can get more HP from Xiaomi than you can get from a Ferrari. Any advatages / weight savings around say carbon chassis will be negligible and probably more of a nuisance in daily driving.
Moreover the battery will degrade over time so it's not a good long term investment (unlike ICE cars where 100 year old machines still run fine).
I'm sure there will still be some buyers but the margins are going to get squeezed and the Rich Oil Sheikh will reconsider their purchasing choices when it gets overtaken by a Chinese EV equivalent at 1/10th of the price.
I really don't see how Ferrari can support its brand with a toy car like this.
There's more to this kind of a car the torque and straight-line speed. Take a look at this Tesla Model 3 Performance on the Nürburgring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tdhYevUGwM, the brakes are overheated after a few minutes of driving.
They would pay to see whatever local files your settings and skills allow the agent to see (plus whatever skills they infiltrated, something you'll have zero visibility about)
