and I'll be honest, based on local results the "high-speed pizza delivery" ain't lookin' so great either.

Thing is, once "sufficiently good" is nearly free, opportunities for "good but not top-tier" tend to dry up real fast.

Why are you doing this?

What makes AI good at microcode is less that it's good at microcode and more that processors are now so powerful that they don't need good microcode to run sufficiently well for the purpose.

Why doesn't it exist in the United States? Was that a decision by the people who worked there to stop working there, or was it a decision by the people who owned the factories to close them and go somewhere cheaper?

"Keep manufacturing domestic" used to be a left-wing, pro-labor position!

I always wonder why people think that doomposting about "supply shocks" and "everything's gonna cost more" is necessarily going to bring readers to their side.

It's entirely possible that someone will look at that and say "wait, why were these vital materials that we can't run society without being made overseas? Don't we remember 2020 where suddenly it was impossible to get masks because the Chinese government refused to ship them to us? Why do tariffs on Mexican imports mean that a car factory in Detroit has to shut down, shouldn't that factory be making all its own parts anyway?"

Heck, I remember in 2015 when Trump was just some weirdo that nobody was taking seriously, and people talking about how Ted Cruz looked like a drowned man's cock and Rubio was a Tio Tom and so on.

One of the things people forget about the 2018 trade thing was that China had a massive swine-flu outbreak at the time, and the trade war was less a "war" and more an expected downturn in demand. If it had been Clinton instead of Trump we wouldn't have heard much about it.
