but if the tariffs are painless and everyone is still buying cheap shit from China, aren't we losing???
It does count as tax revenue, so to the extent you care at all about deficits and debt, that's at least helpful.

Anyone use SAS direct attached storage at home? I want to retire a Synology used as bulk storage for my server, since it maxes at 4 Gbps ethernet. I could go with a cheap USB 3.1 gen2 10Gbps SATA enclosure, but it looks like I could get an enclosure with SAS backplane and connect the disks via SAS to SATA breakout cables, and supposedly, this will allow SAS disks to be used. I'm a little skeptical since I've never used the SATA breakout cables in this way, but since this would increase disk bandwidth by about an order of magnitude over USB I am thinking about trying it.

Right, a rice reserve hardly seems any sillier than the U.S. Strategic Cheese Reserve.

I don't think so. Those concepts still have pretty clear meaning and can be applied to the output of AI as well as humans. What this line of argument is disputing is the (often unstated) conclusion: "therefore, AI is not valuable." But this doesn't follow. Humans distort information, accidentally or maliciously, make errors, hallucinate, and are generally somewhat unreliable, but their output still has value. An AI can share all of those same characteristics and still be very valuable as an information processing agent.

The counterpoint would be that training missions aren't especially lethal, there's just a lot of them.
Sure, but so does everybody else.
