Lesotho - 50%, Saint Pierre & Miquelon - 50%.

But seriously, American consumers should say bye bye to cheap clothes, etc. as everything there is about to get a lot more expensive. The reality is that America was prospering in parts to all those third world countries. And it is kind of stupid to think that you can replace their products with local manufacturing as you lack both the skill set on the local work force nor the salary levels.

They also kicked all their immigrants who were working those shitty low paid jobs and I am sure as hell those employers are now struggling big time to find other people willing to do the same for the same pay.

Bonus tip, you can install extensions on Firefox mobile and block those pesky ads too

You simply don’t get it, there are shit loads of people who are struggling with their mental health and for various reasons they cannot afford a therapist. So yes, better to have an AI therapist than no therapist.

Let’s not fool ourselves that they need Greenland for protection. It is all about mineral resources and territory expansion.

The bigger problem here is the loss of jobs and we are talking about a huge loss of employment that will affect economies really hard. The future looks more and more bleak.

The worst part is that he is completely unhinged and I can easily imagine launching some nuclear nukes towards Europe.

Not the world, just the US.

They don’t want to pollute their training data.

Use Mistral, support European AI.

This is the wet dream of all fascist totalitarians, etc. Because uneducated people are easier to suppress and brainwash them. And they are more likely to vote for their policies. The future is very bleak with global warming, the rise of AI, the rise of the far right globally. We are leaving a really doomed place for our kids.

You know you can gather and start protesting, go on the street. Show your dissatisfaction with the current status quo.

Then perhaps do something about it.

That’s an uplifting news

The US is on a way to piss off all of its trading partners and former allies.

The sad part is that in Europe on Amazon the Gigabyte store sells RX 9070 XT for 1150€. That’s absolutely grotesque. Mind you this card is supposed to be 550$ before tax, after tax it shouldn’t be more expensive than 650€ and Gigabyte is charging 80% on top of that. Who needs scalpers with businesses like that.

The EU should sign a trade agreement with Canada and Mexico and we should strengthen our economic and military cooperation. Screw the orange boys.

To be honest right now China has more legs than the US. The US has been on the wrong side of history for way too long.

And I am using it almost every day and believe me I am writing a lot of code in those function nodes.

As soon as you want something more complicated that’s not covered by the nodes, you need to write your own code. And then debugging this code or version controlling it becomes a nightmare.

Don’t go into that rabbit hole called Node-Red. You will end up writing a lot of code, and node.js isn’t the best scripting language, and my suggestion is to just write a simple Python script.

Debugging is hell, version control is hell, it doesn’t have VSCode integration, plus sometimes it has some weird bugs, when you forget to clean up headers, etc. and it can truly make you crazy.

If you need something super simple and it has a good integration, you might consider it, but for anything more complex, stick to Python, or some other scripting language you are familiar with.
