Being 16, 17 and 18 and not working is expected, given they are still at school. A good percentage of people aged 18 to 24 are studying full time.

This stat seems a bit misleading and doesn't support the "you can live and not work argument". How many of those people are retired? How many of those are under 18? How many of those simply cannot work? How many of those live at home or are on food stamp?

... these days. 100 years ago you'd have a job at 12 in many cases, 14-16 if you were more lucky.

I'm not even talking about peasants from previous centuries.

You can send armed men to your house, or restrict companies in America from using these models.

They can also restrict US providers from serving these models. Looking at OpenRouter, there is currently 11 providers for 'DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731' with the only non-US one being Deepseek themselves, which aren't even the cheapest.

Interesting.

If I were a western lab, might I be tempted to subsidize at least one faster & cheaper provider for Chinese models to keep even more data from leaving the US?

(I know in this case there can just be more efficient providers, am asking more than speculating)

You could just as easily publish stats on the number of packages caught by the detection system though.

By features you mean surveillance and spyware bundled with locked down, closed source software aimed at restricting you as much as possible whilst extracting every last cent out of you.

Effectively no modern car "looks cute" or good. They are all stupid SUVs for soccer moms brainwashed by car marketing.

The Renault 5 is kinda cute.

The latest twingo too

Big oversized, rolling couches down the road big and square, model 3 or Prius sized if you’re trying to save the environment.

It seems like the race to the bottom slowed down with audio, video and image generation models.

OpenAI has completely shifted focus, Google still is working on various toolings/models but ultimately most people are unwilling to pay for these generations, whereby code, can easily be burned (and paid for) by businesses.

image gen isn't a proven market (at least not yet).

Because privacy isn't represented as a binary.

You don't live life only having privacy or not having privacy. You fall somewhere in the middle. You can shift your overall privacy posture up if you de-google, even one service at a time.

Uninstalling Google Maps, whilst still using Gmail has privacy benefits. Each step improves your privacy. Some opt for convenience over privacy, you can pick and choose services to use whilst still retaining decent privacy.

I have a mower that my dad gave to me, which his dad gave to him.

It is in rough shape, but it still cuts grass perfectly fine.

I have a wippersnipper from before I was born which runs perfectly today. It was left out laying sideways in the rain for about a month. Quick clean and a new plug and it was going again.

I'm sure the electric devices can run a long time, but when they fail, they tend to be not repairable.

They need to be using deep packet inspection to get reliable and useful blocks.

If you cannot install their self-signed cert on your device (i.e non-managed device) then you likely aren't being MitM and thus, restrictions are hard.

The word nounce is used to describe a sex offender, at least in the UK.

That's how members of the UK government refer to anyone that supports privacy and encryption

Specifically a child molester.
