We just need to find the social structures to provide people with basic needs and reserve "work" for things that are vital to society or truly inspired.

just?

If that's the case, then you should be able to provide tons of evidence. It's difficult to "hide" or "manipulate" data in a country the size of china that is tied to the global trading system.

not very tied, actually, precisely because of heavy government interventions

"Democratic countries". Like russia? Or venezuela? Oh, let me guess, democratic countries you don't like are not "democratic countries". Right.

I think that we can agree that democratic countries are countries where there is a choice and you see changes of government caused by free elections. That's not the case for Russia or Venezuela but it is (still) the case for most of the Western world

You are just repeating the standard anti-china propaganda. It's the same of nonsense over and over again. "None of china's data can be trusted. They are lying and they are about to collapse". Followed by, "Oh my god china is an existential threat. They are going to overtake us. Deep seek, rare earth minerals blah blah blah". Make up your mind.

Who said that? Only you

I've always had the feeling that AI researchers want to build their own human without having to change diapers being part of the process. Just skip to adulthood please, and learn to drive a car without having experience in bumping into things and hurting yourself.

I partially agree, but the idea about AI is that you need to bump into things and hurt yourself only once. Then you have a good driver you can replicate at will

China is decades behind the West in EUV technology. The attempt to create an independent supply chain is also a forced choice since all the EUV supply chain and knowledge pool are heavily protected by the West and are so complex and big that China cannot sidestep it even with a lot of resources.

Those numbers are realistic. EUV is the most complex machine ever built by humans

the statistics would be different. Check out Rabi oscillations (classical EM) vs Jaynes-Cummings model (quantized EM) and phenomena like quantum antibunching (only possible for quantized EM)

Why does it need an internet connection?

Still the question remains, are they dangerous?

I guess some materials in the body have some response to magnetic fields

With typical usage they contain more sensitive data and people are less aware of what happens in them than PCs.

And mobile phones are perfect spying devices too. So the security question is more delicate

Honestly what you describe seems to be an attempt by Apple PR to save face.

They fear the spotlight on the fact that even on alternate stores only accounts controlled by Apple can publish apps, which might become the focus of new regulations

Southern Gaza, Israel considers a part of Southern Gaza an humanitarian zone and dropped fliers explaining that.

So what do you think would happen if terrorists took over the MIT campus, students sympathized with them, rockets were launched from it, and the US police had no presence there and very sparse intelligence?

Even accepting that, you can ask what is the limit after which you can say that the occupied does morally reprehensible things

No. It will be slow as hell

But something like El Capitan will be somehow acceptable and Lion will be actually usable

The more elaborate books of the Bible, like Isaiah/Yeshayahu and Psalms/Tehillim, make use of this kind of structure a lot in the original. You can easily find "triple chiasms" with structure ABCCBA. I don't know why this isn't emphasised usually.

Catullus of course is one of the masters. There is also the "da mi basia mille deinde centum..." that has the structure of an abacus

China is now the biggest car exporter, thanks to the electric car boom.

Are there state security issues with Chinese cars too?

That's "just" special relativity. I would suggest to see it exposed in current textbooks.

Spoiler: E=m_rest c2 + E_kinetic unless you redefine the mass as a function of velocity. Something that people used to do a century ago but is unusual to it nowadays

We don't have lie detectors even for AIs and we can look at every single bit inside them

FYI it doesn't render too well on my phone. The image overflows horizontally.

Making open source, transparent, auditable, voting machines that can be trusted to be secure and are more efficient than physical counting is a very interesting challenge.

A challenge that I am sure politicians are not very interested in solving.

Why spending so much to gain the trust of your citizens if most people know nothing about cryptography anyway?

I think they tried to make a compromise with the closer to phonetic transcription they could get with the least invasive spelling change they could impose. Not something 100% accurate

I actually like this proposal

Sometimes even the entire word is pronounced differently: read/read

Apart from the fact that Russia is not the only hostile power trying to infiltrate Western organizations, I find the premise incredibly sexist, as if men are presumably more likely to be foreign agents than women.

What would be so terrible?

Some people will be naturally curious, as always, and they will go deeper.

And even languages like Javascript influenced the design of CPUs and even specific instructions. Nothing is "pure" in the computing field

My philosophy on this is to treat C++ and C as completely different languages (as they actually are), like say Java and C or python and C. Yes it's nice that some part of the header file can be parsed in both languages and that most of the syntax is similar.

But once your expectation is that you have to do all the work at the FFI boundary it's less frustrating than to experience all the small mismatches as compiler errors or annoying runtime errors.

Very nice but the article could do without using the term "standard model".

I get that she is talking about the standard cosmological model and she leaves it uncapitalized, but it really confuses readers familiar with "the" Standard Model as a QFT theory

Question: is Objective-C post 2.0 being actively maintained outside of Apple?

Can I use the new features that Apple added in cross platform projects or open source environment like this?

I loved Objective-C very much (yes, really) and I'd like to continue using it after Apple phases it out

A fork then

Yes but to be fair there haven't been a lot of ppc64 machines apart from Apple's G5 desktops.

And the same is true for Apple Silicon.

If you are basically the only one to use some piece of hardware (and you are the one who designed it) your software will be the most optimized out there almost by definition.

This is to say that the focus is on the decision to customize heavily your hardware. Once you decide that it's a pretty low bar to say that your software is the best there is for running on that hardware.

I have no doubt that any platform will be enshittified or disappear eventually, but eventually we all will be dead.

The question should be how to launch a dating app in 2023 that won't suck for at least a decade.

If some Remarkable 2 person is watching I would buy in a pinch a 2-color version. No need for the whole RGB experience but having, say, red and black available when I take notes would make a big difference.
