    This is an amazing deal from America. Please look again 
    How is Vietnam paying nothing for US goods and Americans paying more for goods from Vietnam a win? Americans are the losers here. We're paying more. How is that a deal?

    Farmers export $120 billion worth of goods from the US. Vietnam imports a total of $3 billion ish in agriculture, and only a percent of that from the US. They promised to increase imports from the US in February, but it won't be the full $3 billion. This is a blip considering the rest of the world is reducing their reliance on US goods thanks to the Trump tariff policy.

    I see no victories in this trade policy or so-called "deal."
    Let me try to explain, you have it backwards 

    The 0 percent is a tariff that would be paid by Vietnam/US companies selling into Vietnam , so with 0 tariff, 

    Say if us farmer wants to sell $100 of beef to Vietnam, it will be $100, but if there was a 20 percent tariff, that same beef will be $120 with tariff cost split between the two parties or paid by US farmers . So if domestic beef is $100, people in Vietnam will have to pay $120 for US beef. Why would they buy US beef?  That is assuming no trade barriers banning us beef like there was before this deal . Now U farmers have a more even playing field 

    as for other way , they need the US consumer market so 
    U companies can most likely make Vietnam companies who wants to sell into the USA pay most of the tariff in order to access US markets 
    You just contradicted yourself in your own argument lmao

    The fact Vietnam is wiling to agree to this show the ominous power of America 
    It shows that the demand for US imports is so negligible that it doesn't matter.
    No, these countries all had trade barriers on US goods

    Did you know that Australia does not allow US beef because they say itโ€™s poisonous due to poor US ranchers techniques ? Are you dead from eating UA beef? I am not.

    Europe did same to American chickens .

    That is why US export numbers so low and what Trump trying to fix 
    We are the most obese country on earth. lmao

    So Americans pay 20% to 40% more on all goods from Vietnam and people in Vietnam pay nothing. Good deal bro.

  • Apple rumored to be in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI about powering new Siri

    danox said:

    Apple Silicon M5 coming out in the fall or Siri being 20% smarter which would you choose and which one do you think the public would care more about right now? AI which is currently half hype, half fad and is unprofitable currently for everyone other than Nvidia, or Apple Silicon and the five operating/ecosystems being better than they were last year without AI is probably more important long-term than Siri being like Robbie the robot in Forbidden Planet. 

    Apples path is going to be longer because they are carrying the load of software and hardware in house thatโ€™s just the way it is and there is no shortcut.

    The general public doesn't care about either.

    Crazy that the stock is up on this news, because it officially confirms that Apple ideas way behind. 

    Is it (as the article says) true, that ChatGPT or Anthropic will run on device, so that they donโ€™t get API data from Apple? 

    Otherwise, it is no good news for Apple for long term. 
    First point: no, this confirms nothing about Apple being "way behind"

    Second: ChatGPT already runs via Siri without getting data from Apple or the user. Private Cloud Compute is server side, but independently verified to not be storing user data.

    Third: How is giving users access to more private and secure models using Apple technology a bad thing for Apple?
    OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company. If they want to figure out the identity of a user without an email address or IP address I'm willing to bet they can.
    Well, the biggest problem with this statement is that they've got a deal saying that they won't access or use any data submitted by users via Apple. Second, I really don't understand what your statement is trying to convey... that OpenAI has some kind of magical superpowers thanks to its AI? That's not really what AI is or does.
