In the long run China will most likely prevail, in the short run they are definitely feeling the pinch. Nothing wrong with complaining about the situation.
China will almost definitely be on par or even cross the USA/Taiwan capability in chip manufacturing.
The only loser in this scenario is the US, both short & long term.
20 years ago, I wouldn't be so confident about china prevailing. But I don't think any reasonable person will bet against China.
The fall of China has been greatly exaggerated for more than a decade or so. Yet they are still here, doing mostly fine.
I don't have to agree with their political/human rights situation to marvel how far they have come and still going strong.
Why not. Put it behind cloudflare and you are good to go. Even if you don't put it behind cloudflare you should be good. There are many entry level vps that are not nearly as powerful as a podern smartphone, and people host plugin heavy WordPress on then.
going even further using bash script to prompt for url.
#!/bin/bash
# Prompt the user for a URL
read -p "Enter the URL: " URL
# Use the URL in the pandoc command
pandoc -s $url -o output.html && readable output.html -o readable.html && wkhtmltopdf readable.html output.pdf && open output.pdf
chmod +x web2pdf.sh
# add an alias to bashrc
alias web2pdf='/path/to/your/web2pdf.sh'
source ~/.bashrc
Or you could just import weasyprint and readability in python!
Which is pretty much what OP did, with a few nice additions like nice output and some custom css and fonts. Which is nice and OP hope brings value to people.
If you add a few printf:s and include a nice template for pandoc* it would be more along the same thing.
*) Neither pandoc, wkhtmlpdf or weasyprint have (in my opinion) bad default templates.
Pandoc can also output to pdf if you have latex installed. You can use tectonic if you want a single binary solution than a full latex toolchain, it downloads necessary packages on the fly.
You know I have been hearing this and its many incarnation debt related doom scenario for atleast 20+ years, when I first started following it. Probably longer. Every few years, when debt related doomed future story pops, I feel lile no one really knows what is going on, or even worse what they are talking about.
Nobody that is serious about the topic believed in some kind of doom scenarios. Indeed people who are actually in this topic pretty much agree on the general numbers on the topic. The 'doom' talk is from people who don't know shit. However that doesn't mean there is no problem.
There are plenty of people who know whats going on, its not even very complex. What people disagree about is the long term implications.
The reality is this, the US getting to the point where the debt servicing costs as much as the military. And future spending is known to be high simply by the already promised social benefits.
And the debt servicing could go much bigger if interest on debt goes up even slightly. Ever 1% of increase debt might result in a whole US military worth of extra debt serving per year.
So, eventually the US will either have to raise taxes broadly on the whole population, or cut social spending by a large amount. Both are politically untenable and thus have a high potential of not happening or resulting in a serious political crisis.
As long as neither of them happens, the situation is getting worse, and critically getting worse with ever increasing speed. And that simply isn't possible to go on forever.
So its easy to go into an exponential curve of things getting worse and worse. All the other countries that ran into problems also had people say 'wouldn't happen here'.
So this isn't a doom for the next couple years, even decades but even until then, spending large parts of your GDP with debt servicing isn't really great way to spend money either.
Personally, I don’t think @aryehof is wrong, it’s just that governments do really well at pushing the ball down four more years, until they can’t. It’s like that with all Empires.
You were literally bullying this person and being very condescending and then turn around and accuse him of bullying you. Why is it ao hard for you to accept that some people might different opnions?
That was not an opinion it was an honest question.
People use past performance as an indicator for future performance thats not a very unusual concept and not really "hero worship at best and fanaticism at worst."
I gave you two examples of past poor performance and you either blithely ignored them or dismissed them as unimportant because it's "totally outside what you do". Then at the end you admitted you don't pay attention to the details. So we're either back to why are debating things you don't understand or why are you fawning.
The thing that always gets me in these pissing contests is some random decides to wade in based purely on ____ and then when I point out ____ I'm the asshole. Like isn't it clear you just shouldn't have started making claims? Why am I in the wrong for knowing/understanding and demonstrating that understanding but you're not in the wrong for just guessing?
To be fair mathisfun123 was originally responding to someone who tried it out and was somewhat disappointed by the state of things given the hype. It's a valid point.
Responding with only "have you looked at the team?" with nothing to say about the current state of things, which was what the sidethread was about, is what probably set them off since it is actually a pretty patronizing thing to say.
You want to give more leeway to the team because you think they earned the cred. mathisfun123, not impressed by the details of certain past projects, is not going to hold their breath until the current state justifies the current hype.
this is literally 2nd question I have asked
1) Have you looked at the team
2) Based on your postulate that I should not be making claims wanted to see an example of claim I should not make. As I don't think I actually made any claims.
I am not sure why this is tedious
1) is pretty much yes or no
2) is just copy paste of a "claim"
What are your thoughts on the whole narrative of "Google was asleep at the wheel innovation wise" because obviously they had Twitter/Reddit/Wikipedia/StackOverflow indexed as well as anybody else on the planet (at least I think they did... maybe not individual tweets?)
If both OpenAI and Google "index" the same content, why is a random-word-generator (LLM) able to outperform Google (who can actually cite sources, etc.)
I am guessing its not super common, but it happens just so you know.
