It’s powered by a miniature nuclear reactor meaning that it can stay airborne long enough to fly around the world and approach targets from any direction.

You gotta love it when people start commenting on a topic they have no clue about. There is no reentry, this is a low flying missile. The whole point of it is that it’s a loitering missile that can fly around for months on end. That’s the whole reason for the panic in NATO, it’s not possible to track it at all. Time for you to stop embarrassing yourself in public.

What actually turned out to have the capabilities of wet farts were all the fabled NATO weapons that were sent to Ukraine. Every game wunderwaffe that was supposed to turn the war right around turned out to be a dud in the end.

AI is being developed in China in a very different way from the west because the material conditions in China are different. https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-ghost-in-the-machine

The reason Chinese companies release LLMs as open source isn’t actually confusing either. It’s not being treated as a product, but rather as foundational technology that things will be built upon. Think of it the same way as the current open source infrastructure that underpins the internet. Most companies aren’t trying to monetize Linux directly, rather they use it to build actual products on top of.

However, dragging the US into a tech race it can’t win is also a factor whether it’s done intentionally by China or not. https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-ai-race-isnt-about-chips-its

That is one of very clear legitimate uses for LLMs, similarly they work great for making decompiled code human readable now.

the really scary part is that this doesn’t even surprise me

I remember a long time ago, I worked at a java shop and we were cursed to use Eclipse. One coworker was saying his IDE was really slow, and almost unusable. So I come over to look, and the whole freaking codebase was just one giant Java file. It was basically at the limit of what the compiler will allow.

😱

the way things are going Europeans are gonna have to start fleeing to China to get a semblance of free speech 🤣

It’s so lovely to see how the mask has finally fallen off and we get to see the EU as the totalitarian regime that it really is.

I’m in my 40s and I’m really glad I got into martial arts back in my 20s and kept up with it.

What I’m saying is that you could make an architecture similar to M1 which would have the same benefits of being fast and energy efficient, and slap a tailored Linux distro on top of it that just work out of the box. As a dev, I’d buy a decently built laptop like that in a second.

I’m really amazed that it’s been half a decade now and nobody has made a comparable SoC using ARM or RISCV tailored to Linux.

Frankly, I’ve never really understood the logic of bailouts. If a company is not solvent, but it’s deemed to be strategically important then the government should simply be taking a stake in it. That’s what would happen on the private markets with another company buying it out. The whole notion that the government should just throw money at the failing companies with no strings attached is beyond absurd.

Completely agree, MacOS is turning into a dumpster fire. They keep adding features nobody asked for, and making the whole thing more bloated and flaky in the process.

ah makes sense
