US colonial empire in its entirety is most corrupt ever. For US, zionist, corporatist oligarchy and monopoly supremacy is guaranteed dictatorial mandate enforced by media. In NATO and other colonies, CIA/State buying loyalty from every politician and media, while also threatening to JFK non compliance is very cheap. That the corruption of empire is more visibly extreme under Trump, doesn’t mean it wasn’t always there. Under direct economic war from US, NATO colonies have pledged to bankrupt their own countries with 5% of GDP in US weapons purchases to double down on a losing war with Russia, that the US started.
There needs to be military coup in US and in colonies. Constitution is worthless and corruption irreparable, IMO, but even if repairable, no one is coming close to proposing it, and the effort required within the rigged system against dictatorial pillage and designed collapse is simply too monumental.
So, Chinese system is far better than West’s. Military/one party rule doesn’t mean kleptocracy or oppression. It doesn’t mean no one is ever allowed to make improvement suggestions. In recent survey, Chinese were more happy with their level of democracy than Western countries by a 2:1 factor. It’s not even remotely close as to which is the lesser evil.
Cuba would be closer. South east Asia has more open expat process. Breaking political corruption in my country, is beyond my power or tolerance for MLK/Malcom X treatment. Certainly the path towards economic collapse and Oligarchist pillaging into extreme effective poverty is something that could affect me, but that can be delayed for 20 years, and a debt default reset is an escape. Climate destruction is not inherently bad for Canada. Retardation of joining US in war on China still seems too absurd to me, even though everyone around lemmy is so programmed into being gung ho over it.
CIA control over Canada, just needs to be throttled out of moronic acceptance for it. Seems so obvious to terminate it. But, sure there comes a point where collapse is just intentional design. Even if I oppose Canada’s participation in war on China, would I be safe, either politically or from nuke strikes, there?
That we are free, for now, to talk about how extreme corrupt US is, gets drowned out by shills simping for how awesome our rulers are. Freedom of speech becomes funding lies and divisiveness. Every country that adopts US like free speach laws turns out to have total political class unanimity about CIA/Israel’s right for supremacist rule over them and world.
We have surveillance too. China uses it to eliminate bike theft, and permits unattended public ebike charging.
Control
We have a very strong order with total control over us for benefit of oligarchy. It is so expensive to participate/change democracy that appeal to the oligarchy is necessary. Chuck Schumer openly brags that his job is to gaslight the left into supporting Israel, and the coincidence that is only money for war, and never any for progressive agenda is gaslighting by design. Control is a loaded word, in that if you want to control against CIA destabilization or subjugation of your rulers, you have to. The Paris Commune was most ideal government ever implemented, but lack of control/security against an Oligarchy who needs to destroy it to not look so bad in comparison, was the failure point. FBI has been involved in sabotaging US political movements many times over. Green party and leader only makes any speech/efforts 2 months before election.
It’s easy to accuse/complain about control. Orders of magnitude more important is how corrupt and oppressive to life/prosperity (pluralist economic survival) that control is. OP article is control to support the underlying premise that we need to fund competition and war with China as the given, and that the only answer is to double our oligarchist appropriations to keep on that given path.
Summary is very significantly understated. China is very far ahead in robotics, and AI is at least on par. Manufacturing and construction being far ahead makes everything important far ahead. Military production capacity and “military tech value”, where quantity is quality, has China far ahead.
From summary, this is denial meant to spur more government investment in a competition that is already lost using a corrupt US oligarchist model of privatized profit enhancement without any concern for produced value.
80 CUs is 7900xt, 4080 level. Would be surprising in APU.
I just got a 7840hs mini pc with 780m igpu, and oculink for future. Very happy with it as I can play beyond all reason in 1200p high settings compared to 1650s that did 1080p in low settings. 60 fps with amd chill, and mostly under 80C, with few peaks around 85C.
The 890m, AI370 are $700usd more, and under 25% improved gpu. 2x or 3x the 890m gpu performance can be acquired for $700 oculink solution.
80CU APU, is going to be priced higher than AI 395’s 40 CU APU, which is already priced shockingly high. The next Xbox being a full PC can justify pricing, but usual gaming console pricing model is break even based on selling locked in games (razor blades) at high prices. 395 use case has mostly been to have a very large ram LLM at relatively slow speed. APUs for relatively portable mini pc mid range GPU tasks with external GPU enhancement for “desktop scenario” seems like a sweet spot, or laptop with mobile gpu for more combined portable performance per $, seems like it would always have an edge over “bleeding edge APU” for most people.
Celebrating
One of the holocaust denial arguments (thanks to Lemmy reposting of grok) is that there was no confirmed written order linking Hitler to it. He might have been just “passively” instigating/inflaming his cabinet/generals into a final solution conference. We still think he celebrated it.
The Grok solution is to genocide those who celebrate the tiny silver lining in diminishing the chances of (near) future genocides.
headline not claimed. 1 km2 as a continuous flat surface that can be pointed at sun is 250mw from commercial cells. Outside of our atmsophere, irradiance boost is only 33%. so 340mw. Geosynchronous over China will only gain up to 3 hours per day of sun. That can be a 75% boost in average daily power.
except microwave energy transmission… While a 50% efficient transmission is possible (effectively 250mw earth equivalent delivered), it needs a 100 square km receiver array. Even at 150mw per square km earth solar, is enough space for 15gw of solar.
So, it only makes sense at much larger scale, and only makes sense if denser energy costs as astronomically high as such a project. Beaming energy to other points in space, or even remotely powering a spacecraft are applications.
This is more correlation to a peak at a date. I understand the reason to suspect phones, lower reading/long form rates. Reduced optimism about sustainability/a bright future, and financial crisis aftermath, and divisiveness, might also have a correlation to the same peak date. Or combination of these factors with widespread phone use.
Yes, I understand that more mining could be done, but what I was saying is that I don’t think it could be sustained to the level of silicon. Bismuth is a rare mineral, and 100 times more expensive than silicon.
Not an expert, but high purity bismuth seems 6x more expensive than high purity silicon. I could be wrong.
they would only be able to tackle a very small fraction of that.
It would be for ultra premium performance chips, which China has a low share currently.
quick lookup showed pure bismuth at $300/kg. That is not too expensive to make chips, but it would divert demand away from other uses, and we’re gonna need a bigger mine. China will find a way, and likely cost reductions will result from volume.
Still, this is a couple of years (wild optimism and resources devoted to it) at least away from Chip products.
same analysts that got it wrong are invited to inform congress again.
It’s not racism. It is propaganda group think. As long as US tells itself it is winning, and needs war to keep winning, then US empire is well funded, and no change in policy ever needs to be considered.
In truth, if Aliens provided cheap stuff to trade with US, it would seem obvious to trade instead of going to war, except if an oligarchy controlling every member of government to protect their fiefdoms had their way. Our rulership only ever wants to hear confirmation of their propaganda lies. Heresy has never been welcome.
Germany is not an empire, but has cultural ties to Austria, Swiss. They are more powerful than those neighbours, but if Germany reduce US subservience, US would be welcome to come to manipulate/select German neighbour rulerships to destabilize Germany. Any anti-German faction, or like Ukraine, anti-German speakers in their country, would get all the money and weapons.
Russia is not an empire. It would like to have a sphere of influence with friends, but it definitely needs its neighbours to not be US empire agents bent on destabilizing it into civil war.
China is not an empire either. It makes foreign investments that are better than any US offers. US is the one that uses extortion and bribery of puppets it installs the most.
The free world is the world that doesn’t have the US select its rulers. But keep on rocking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvxxdZpMFHg
Instead of allowing the US government to continue to bully and threaten countries around the world, its Western allies must team up with friends in the Global South not just to force the United States into line, but to tackle the power of its out-of-control tech industry once and for all.
There is a big focus on US tech profits taken out of colonies. A bigger issue is political control. X/Meta going full MAGA with explicit favouritism on cultural issues and political parties in the colonies is an opposing force to the traditional CIA media controlling the worst moderate politicians in all of the colonies to support US wars. The far right tends to be NATO “skeptics” , and USAID (which Musk just terminated) is a CIA front.
The core “moderate brainworm” that must be cured is “US is a force for good with liberal ideals”. Not only has it just rigged an election for the most fascist pro Israel ruler, the previous administration had huge faults of its own. There is a “liberal supremacist” brainworm which accepts every warmongering lie to diminish “less liberal” nations, and specifically Russia no matter how far away USSR is in history. The brainworm is incapable of judging nations on the progress/prosperity it gives its nation, only that there are few political distractions on how to make world the least sustainable possible. If you want Russia to accept human sustainable policies, you need to stop waging war against it.
That the tech industry offers itself as a new media colonization scheme on “US friends” with MAGA/ethnic supremacist validations is a sharp contrast to the traditional US control messages, and the obviousness that in a sustainable world, immigration helps sustain your economy for the future, with “soft racism” helping keep the immigrants at lower end of hierarchy. In an unsustainable world going to shit, then investing in future is pointless, and might as well end child education to keep the Senior vote. Cannibalism is coming. The only reason to contradict the traditional control message of “US is a humanist partner”, is that the US needs divisiveness and wars in Europe. Ukraine was pure awesomeness for the US. All of the CIA puppets STFUd about nordstream sabotage.
For sure countries need to significantly tax US tech profit extraction, but they need to significantly extort money from US to tolerate US presence there. Canada actually defends the US instead of the other way around. It hosts NORAD, including radar that protects US from Russian ICBMs. US needs to pay for NORAD. EU military bases are occupation bases. German government spying is done from such occupation. US needs to pay for privilege, or leave.
When pro US countries accept US enemies as their own enemies, that becomes their point of insecurity. They only need US help in their defense, because they have chosen cooperating on demonic diminishment of the US’s adversaries. The globe’s enemy is the US empire. It has no love/humanity for anyone else.
I’m not sure what tier 2 loses in terms of access.
This obviously continues the Chinese need to “delete America” and capitalize competition to Nvidia, where they are not horribly behind H100 if that is the tier 2 standard. Tier 2 is now automatically motivated to help China to help themselves. Nvidia buying Trump is an easy path to get their oligarchy prioritized over bad arguments against capturing smaller global market that reduces innovation.
Incoming Administration promises to protect oil and gas oligarchs by limiting renewables/batteries/EVs, including potentially destroying big 3 automakers with Canadian/Mexico tariffs. Harming Tesla competitors with loses on their NA investments in batteries and EVs, that includes tariffs on JPN ROK batteries. Coercion of EU colonies is likely to force their dependence on extortionist US oil and LNG imports if they want to keep US in NATO, for the privilege of buying extortionist US weapons. NATO CIA stooge leader is telling EU that they need to give up pensions, social security, and healthcare, and institute drafts, to get to 3% of GDP military spending targets. EU blaming immigrants from US sponsored destroyed lands, instead of their own US subjugation, is certain to be the political climate for abandoning sustainability and prosperity.
Coercing US consumers on NG electricity expansions, with increased LNG exports, together with datacenter expansions, is attempt at boosting NG prices, even when $2/mmbtu is not competitive with solar for new electricity. Utility oligarchs are certain to feed better at the trough if they support NG extortion agenda instead of renewables.
The main point is that in addition to cheaper energy, outside of US extortionist energy pricing, foreign datacenters also allow for global customers.
Capitalism is a useless word. Markets and property ownership (communal property is property) exist naturally. Oligarchism and Corporatism (supremacy of those classes) are narrowly defined words. US philosophy is industrial policy to maximize oligarchist/corportist supremacy and profits. Chinese industrial policy maximizes abundance, and overall policy restricts oligarchist excess. It directs massive job creating investment, but doesn’t interfere with market wages, as labour supremacist opposition parties in the west advocate for.
A bigger deal is that they are open source.
China does have a “delete America” program, and I saw an announcement, not repeated in west, that they banned Intel, AMD, Nvidia for certain Chinese customers about 2 weeks ago. Nvidia still has a big interconnect, CUDA, and driver stability advantage in GPUs, but China is catching up on price/performance, and national security makes this an area of high investment. A Chinese Nvidia solution is to just host AI training in Thailand. Hosted costs for AI in China are 1/7th the cost of cheapest US option (Llama).
Extreme US climate terrorist energy corruption is going to limit US datacenter and affordable electricity for all. Mexico has an opportunity for electricity exports and datacenter hosting with access to Chinese energy.
sorry to be triggering, but there is a link between zionists using “Jews have a history of oppression” linking to “everything a zionist says is true” is a related tactic to “empowerment advocacy” doesn’t stop after equality achieved. Hate crime legislation was sponsored by zionists, but they welcomed allies into broadening protections. Flipping out over the comment is a supremacist tactic.
Jewish Supremacism was the instigating lobby for such laws. They wanted to enable other “supremacist liberal-themed” movements to take advantage, and hopefully ally, with Zionism. Me too, at the height of the cultural wars, essentially was representing that women can never lie.
An inherent problem with equality, awareness for oppressed groups, advocacy is that the advocacy never stops at equality. The ADL is canonical example of supremacist overreach.
I actually do think “zionist” is in itself a fairly useless term for the Israeli apartheid question (as Norman Finkelstein and Judith Butler do too).
Do any of the forms of zionism (a belief that they should own the land) involve market purchases of the land they would like? (instead of settler colonial theft?)
They probably don’t like zionazi either. Neither this nor zionist is a code word for Jew. The entire political class, the great majority being Christian, and their donors are zionist, because going with the flow of AIPAC is path to get your candidates to also serve your oligarchist or Christofascist protections.
Netanyahuists or likudists or Mossadists or Epsteinists ok?
BTW, Chuck Shumer is going to allow a vote in Senate over this “criticism of zionism is anti semitic” law in US. Reddit also supports mods who recomend permabans over criticism of zionism already.
It’s a weird design for a robotaxi specific car. I guess it can be cheap as a 2 seater. But other manufacturers are investing in the robotics needed for low cost cars. The aero dynamics aren’t typically helpful for taxis. I understand he will try to milk existing models until FSD instead of innovating on them.
The true power of free speech is the power of divisive lies/disinformation. That you think your media is free/honest, allows it far greater disinformation power to ensure oligarchist/zionist supremacy control. It has gotten to an extra level with Trump threatening media whose news departments push back on his disinformation, or Universities that permit disapproval of genocide. Zionazi media mergers for Paramount and TikTok designed to patch up any threats to supremacist order.
Is the freedom to lie more important than the deserved fuckwit status? CIA corruption of colonies requires the freedom of divisiveness propaganda/lies. Even little people like me, can get banned from reddit/lemmy main CIA subs for pushing back on zionazi warmongering disinformation propaganda. Speech that could change anything is definitely suppressed. You don’t notice it when you just agree with (your fundamentally state) supremacist media narratives.
If making Winnie the Pooh or Mohamed cartoon memes is important to your “happiness”, it’s almost certainly because divisiveness is important to your salary or self/social esteem.
A constitution and democracy that protects zionazi lizard people rulership, is one that protects it from any sunglasses that exposes them. The goggles, they do nothing. It’s late stage democracy.
