What you're describing is the beginning to the book Manna: Two Visions of Humanity's Future. It's a short read, and the tl;dr is that unfettered automation will fuck over mankind if we don't decide early on to make it serve to benefit mankind as a whole. That means completely and utterly rejecting capitalism and the entire foundation of modern economics. It's a very interesting concept and the book itself is a good read.
Beyond the usual stuff regarding Belt and Road, this is a strategic move by China on multiple accounts.
First, I highly recommend reading AI Superpower by Lee Kaifu. Look past the conspiratorial-esque title and focus on the main points that Lee makes:
The article touched on the fact that India's vast population skews younger and are also more likely to make the technological leap onto mobile-first. With China being the leader in IoT (internet of things), opening a way for Indian users to provide Chinese tech giants with more data will only further cement China's position as a leader in the coming AI economy.
I've been reading and enjoying Kai-Fu Lee's punchy new book on AI and geopolitics, AI Superpowers. In essence, the book claims that China is likely to rapidly overtake the US in AI technology in the next decade.
In short, the author claims that tech-dominance in the machine learning age is a function of (1) access to lots of good data, (2) an aggressive and smart entrepreneurial class, (3) brilliant researchers, and (4), political will. It's hard to deny that - pending a new Manhattan project for AI - China owns the US in (1) and (4). China and the US are close on (2), but Lee points to China's more cutthroat markets as giving it an edge. Finally, while the US dominates in (3) for now, Lee claims that the recent advances of ML as laid down by Hinton et al. will take decades to implement, meaning that the field belongs to tinkerers rather than geniuses (for now).
I've not finished yet, but my only qualm is that the US might have political stability in its favour, for now. For all the problems America faces, they at least have a track record of muddling through relevantly similar scenarios, whereas we've yet to see what happens in China in the wake of, e.g., major growth slowdowns.
Anyway, highly recommended to all, and interested in case anyone is reading along and has thoughts. The most astonishing fact presented so far to my mind was this: "In terms of funding, Google dwarfs even its own government: US federal funding for math and and computer science research amounts to less than half of Google's own R&D budget."
First, decide how much time you have to spend on the problem and whether it should be tractable or not.
If it's very urgent, and you can hack around it, hack around it. If it's very urgent and important, hack around it now to unblock and then dig into it deeper later (more in a bit). If it's not urgent, you can treat it as a learning experience and dig in deeper if you want to or not. (Basically make sure you don't fall into a rabbit hole while attempting to solve one specific error and make sure you're achieving what you actually need to).
For digging in deeper (because it's just that important, or maybe you just want to learn): make sure you RTFM, figure out where your understanding of the system and the actual system differ – what did you expect to happen, what's happening and then tweak one thing at a time to make sure things are behaving as you would expect them to till you find the reason. There's a lot I could keep writing about this, and I'm fairly certain much better engineers and authors than me have – an example error would have made this easier.
For Android in particular, we're more lucky than iOS engineers because you have access to the underlying code (for the large part) so you can dig into the android source and even debug the part of the framework that runs within your application.
Of course, sometimes it's just frustration and exhaustion in which case you should follow the advice already posted and just take a fresh look at it the next day.
PS. I haven't completed reading this but https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PDDKQV2/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 was recommended to me and has been good so far.
If you have time, read Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford. You are going to really hate what he predicts. Its not sci-fi either.
Read Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford. It's not sci-fi. The biggest threat to your job is: automation and off-shoring. I have already lost jobs to both.
We don't know what jobs will be "in-demand" in the next 20 years. We also do not know where they will be.
I said this when I was laid off at the beginning of the Pandemic. When management realized that work-from-home didn't mean your home, but from somebody's home in India or the Philippines, plans were underway.
The biggest threat to your job is: 1. Automation and Offshoring. Read Martin Ford's Rise of the Robots. Its not science fiction.
The biggest threat to office workers who work from home is probably automation and/or off-shoring.
Read Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford if you have time.
Most jobs today still require a physical presence: policeman, nurse, auto mechanic, waitress, mayor, heart surgeon, etc. That said, Martin Ford, in his book Rise of the Robots said that this can change and very quickly.
Two things that might prevent this: 1. Public criticism and 2. Robots are terrible consumers.
Read Martin Ford's, Rise of the Robots, if you have time. I don't think we are too far off.
Outside of work, I fine it a luxury today to talk to a real person, in person.
>their ability keep up pretense is waning ironically due to globalized nature of innovation and technology.
oh idk about that. Think it'll pick up pace dramatically in this direction.
Still exciting times ahead. I just hope the supply chain holds. Cause the only thing edible near me that isn't in a supermarket is the sheep at the petting zoo
Read Martin Ford's, Rise of the Robots if you get the chance. It's not science fiction. We do seem to be safe for a few more years.
If you have time and haven't read it yet, read Rise of the Robots. It's not science fiction. The two biggest threats to your job are: 1. Automation and 2. Offshoring.
AI SuperPowers is a good book to look at:
AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, Lee, Kai-Fu, eBook - Amazon.com
Agan's book on debugging:Debugging: The 9 Indispensable Rules for Finding Even the Most Elusive Software and Hardware Problems (I like it because it changed how I think about troubleshooting)
Bentley's Programming Pearls (2nd ed) (a short book, I like it because it is short and full of problem framing perspective - reminds me of Alan Kay's quote, "Perspective is worth 80 IQ points.")

I forgot to mention this book: https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-FPGA-Programming-Metal-hardware-ebook/dp/B01MS0JK01.
People on amazon don't seem to like it, but it's well done and follows a practice-oriented style.
Amazon is definitely what I think of when I read Marshall Brain's: Manna, two Visions of Humanities Future. A good read for a buck (non-affiliate link down there)
