This is a great example of how to beat tarrifs/ why tariffs don’t work. Charge double for my goods? Fine, I’ll just scale to produce them at half the price and there will be literally no-where you can sell your goods, and mine will still be cheaper in your local markets.
I’ve done several AI/ ML projects at nation/ state/ landscape scale. I work mostly on issues that can be solved or at least, goals that can be worked towards using computer vision questions, but I also do all kinds of other ml stuff.
So one example is a project I did for this group: https://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/resources/data-maps
Southwest Florida water management district (aka “Swiftmud”). They had been doing manual updates to a land-cover/ land use map, and wanted something more consistent, automated, and faster. Several thousands of square miles under their management, and they needed annual updates regarding how land was being used/ what cover type or condition it was in. I developed a hybrid approach using random forest, super-pixels, and UNET’s to look for regions of likely change, and then to try and identify the “to” and “from” classes of change. I’m pretty sure my data products and methods are still in use largely as I developed them. I built those out right on the back of UNET’s becoming the backbone of modern image analysis (think early 2016), which is why we still had some RF in there (dating myself).
Another project I did was for State of California. I developed both the computer vision and statistical approaches for estimating outdoor water use for almost all residential properties in the state. These numbers I think are still in-use today (in-fact I know they are), and haven’t been updated since I developed them. That project was at a 1sq foot pixel resolution and was just about wall-to-wall mapping for the entire state, effectively putting down an estimate for every single scrap of turf grass in the state, and if California was going to allocate water budget for you or not. So if you got a nasty-gram from the water company about irrigation, my bad.
These days I work on a small team focused on identifying features relevant for wildfire risk. I’m trying to see if I can put together a short video of what I’m working on right now as i post this.
Example, fresh of the presses for some random house in California:
Imagine buying a policitian’s cryptocurrency
That’s a weird way of saying “I wasnt able to find any evidence of the claim”.
blatant false accusations
Show me. Show me the accusation. I’m asking them to address something they said, not engage in some performative purity test.
What they said:
Democrats won’t deport millions of brown people and force my child and those like her into conversion therapy. So yes, Republicans will be worse.
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
Sure sounds like engaging in apologetic around the issue of the genocide of the Gazan people to me.
Squid has time-and-again proven they do not support the actions of Israel, yet you aggressively accuse them of it anyway?
Show me that accusation. Because it doesn’t exist and its not something I said. Its something they said I said. But my profile is right there. Dig around. I never said that. I did say they were white-knighting on behalf of Democrats (because they were, and they do that).
So if you are going to make some claim, its super easy to just back it up. No ones comments or histories are hidden. Its all right out in the open.

You can just uhh… not respond? And if you did respond, you might consider offering a explanation for why you think addressing the issue of the genocide of the Gazan people is just “shit is getting old.”
Because otherwise this:
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
Sure does look like a statement dismissing of the genocide of a people.
I just want to know what you meant when you said this:
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
When you say “shit is getting old”, it seems like you don’t care about the genocide of the Gazan people. Like you are tired of hearing about it.
What did you mean when you said that?
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
This seems pretty dismissive of the genocide of an entire people.
You said:
Democrats won’t deport millions of brown people and force my child and those like her into conversion therapy. So yes, Republicans will be worse.
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
You told me “feel free to quote me”, and so I have.
For you, this genocide doesn’t matter and is “getting old”. Your words. Not mine, not anyone else’s. You are responsible for them, and try as you might, you wont be able to make this conversation about something it isn’t.
Never said anything of the sort. In-fact, I’m pretty sure this is harassment.

I mean you said what you said dude. I’m just quoting you.
But feel free to quote me
Its at the top of the thread buddy.
Democrats won’t deport millions of brown people and force my child and those like her into conversion therapy. So yes, Republicans will be worse.
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
Lets take this statement apart again. Its a defense of Democrats. It makes the claim that Republicans will deport millions, they’ll force your child into therapy, and that Republicans will “be worse”, and that the genocide of Gazans isn’t important because its tiring and there are other genocides.
Israel doesn’t need Republicans to “be worse”. Democrats are bad enough that Israel has had carte blanc to ethnically cleanse the northern half of the Gaza strip. Israel has everything they need: they don’t need Republcians to “be worse”. Israel has gotten every single thing that it has needed to conduct this genocide, and it has come entirely from the US Administrations defense of their genocidal policies. And by making this effort that you are making, to shield Democrats from criticism, you are giving them all the cover they need to continue supporting this genocide.
The other part of your claim which is relevant is
And this “there’s only one genocide that matters” shit is getting old.
That is such an interesting way of trivializing the extermination of a people. I don’t even know that I have commentary for that statement, because its so disgusting and abhorent at face value. Like, you are mad that people aren’t just calmly going along with your para-social cheer-leading of an objectively pro-genocide candidate (instead of being crticial of her to try to get her to change). And you are just “annoyed” that you have to keep hearing about the ethnic cleansing of a people. Like its so annoying these people are getting murdered and you are just mad because its making your candidate look bad.
So yeah. These are the statements I take issue with. They are deeply problematic.

I have made it very clear that I oppose Israeli genocide.
Oh but you haven’t, because you defend Democrats and their support of genocide at every turn. You make claims and overtures that you oppose the genocide, but whenever it would actually count, for example, by withholding your support for them, its a bridge to far. Hence my claim that its for performance only. Not only that, you troll and brigade the comments where criticism of Democrats is occurring (eg, this thread).
So you can’t do both and still claim you oppose the genocide. Its clear that you think you are on one side of this issue, but your actions show that you are not.

The whole point of the article is that basically China can overcome tariffs by focusing on overcapacity. In that scenario, the result of tarrifs isn’t any new labor for your country, and higher prices. The country imposing the tariffs gets the worst of both worlds.
