I remember they finally were able to make a ball point pen all by themselves in 2017.
When I actually start seeing products that aren’t contaminated with fake ICs or are actually grounded properly without hyper-strict foreign supervision, I’ll change my tune. Until then, there isn’t an article in the world that will convince me that China is actually innovating or taking steps to make quality products.
What the hell are you popping off about? All you need to do is go to Amazon or Ali Express to see the absolute plethora of Chinese product clones. Just search for a 3D printers, as a good example.
Yeah, I guess I am a bit prejudice against the bulk Chinese electronic garbage that is usually an extreme fire hazard. Maybe it’s all the fake or counterfeit chips I have had to replace that has pissed me off.
Look bub. I don’t give a flying fuck about China or the politics involved. Their manufacturing sucks ass and their actual their innovation is rare. If they copied products correctly, I would have a bit more respect for their business model.
If you want to go all-out tankie on people, maybe you should go back to your own instance.
That’s great and all, but you missed the theme of this thread.
China has been the king of bulk products for years. Saying that recent investments will alter world politics in 25 years is a bit strange. Saturating markets is what China does best.
There is a bit more history behind TSMC. You left out the bits where they partnered with other companies, like Philips, that gave them access to proprietary information. They continued building relationships with other large companies and investing back into their own business.
China isn’t doing that. China has had access to older fab equipment for years but still fails to truly innovate. If US companies could trust China enough not to steal modern tech, there could be some real benefits to having fabs in China. The world kinda figured out never to send proprietary information to China years ago. Companies still do and doesn’t take long for a thousand clones to pop up on Ali Express shortly after.
Trains are one thing, modern chip fab is a completely different. Buying older equipment is not going to get them anywhere but into the production of chips that have been on the market for 10 years already.
This is one industry where each generation has hard limits for manufacturing.
But they are buying mature-node equipment, says the article. That doesn’t mean shit other then more cloning and counterfeiting.
Yay. More counterfeits are coming to the market soon.
Radio telescopes. While I don’t know the complete process of how an image is created, it’s likely a composite of hundreds of thousands of points where radio wave strength was measured.
A very basic explanation is that each radio antenna likely takes a reading of some kind for each equivalent pixel in the resulting image. Over time, you can build an image.
Again, I don’t know the full details of how the full image is recreated. It seems super complex reassembling millions of data points from antennas that are located on a rotating earth that is also rotating around a sun. The position of the earth probably has a huge impact on radio signal strength at any given time.
Future chips not affected by THIS cpu bug yet.
It would explain the poor memory I get when I smoke. You can’t remember something that hasn’t happened yet, so it naturally increases your ability to remember more. (Taps forehead…)
It’s a markup language(ish) but it’s not a programming language. XML would be closer to programming, IMHO, since you could have simple things like recursion. That example is even pushing what I would consider “programming”, but anyone can feel free to disagree.
SQL is in the same category for me. It’s a query language and can get super complex, perform some basic logic, but you can’t exactly write “snake” in it. Sure, you could use cmdshell or something else to do something more complex, but that would no longer be SQL.
My simplistic expectation of an actual programming language would be that you can automate an entire platform at the OS level (or lower) instead of automating functions contained within a service or application. (JVMs and other languages that are “containerized” are weird outliers, by my definition.)
I am not trying to step on anyone’s toes here. I just never have really thought about what I personally consider a programming language to be.
I dunno what the problem is. Wasn’t the plan to replace workers with AI?
Ok, I admit I don’t understand the humor. My immediate response was, “sounds about right because of how these things happen”.(I can be kinda dumb like that sometimes.)
Security advisories may not be immediately announced until a patch is available. If this is in regards to FreeBSD-SA-24:08.openssh, a patch was available the day before it was announced and then refined for prod over the next few days : https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-24:08.openssh.asc
The timing of this stuff is always wonky and it doesn’t look like it hit a could of news places until today, about a week after: https://cyberpress.org/vulnerability-in-openssh-freebsd/
It’s just getting filled up with love.
If you believe in technical analysis of stocks, NVDA formed a double top in mid-July which is an extremely bearish signal. (If I am not mistaken, it’s caused by many investors switching from long to short position… Or some kind of magic like that. The data is out there regarding short sales, but I just gotta look, and I am lazy.)
But yeah, something more realistic is the recent trickle of news about OpenAI starting to falter financially which is compounded by the recent (free’ish) release of Llama 3.1.
LinkedIn is silent on AI, and has been silent for a while. The AI snakeoil companies are dead silent on there now and most major companies have reverted their direct marketing back to pre-AI crap.
So yeah, the cracks have been forming for a while and I think NVidia has better things to worry about than a dedicated AI chip. (“Design flaws”, my ass. )
Yeah. Modern phones are awesome if you need to use every feature to its fullest. I love that I have the opinions to access my accelerometer or GPS independently. Since I do a bit of CAD work, having a high quality camera is awesome for photogrammetry. But see, there is a caveat: It’s the right tool for me and worth my $1K to have an up-to-date device that has a reasonable bit of compute.
Otherwise, nah. I just got a resin 3D printer that only has a USB connector. No cloud, no wifi, no bullshit. It does its one job well and that is all I care about.
It sucks that most people are basically trained from birth that “more is better” or “brand new is better”. It took me years to de-program myself from that shit.
It’s just the first example I could think of that involved a wearhouse, lots of machines that need to be tinkered with that use some kind of centralized management.
Essentially, it’s tablet that fits in your back pocket. It would be useful to just tuck away quickly in a pocket to quickly fix a bit of filament or something.
Folding phones are still a status symbol of some kind and the actual utility of a large phone screen is lost on most owners. Once most of the R&D cost is paid off and the tech starts to plateau, it might get cheaper?
I see foldable screens as a work device. Sure, a portable movie theater would be a good perk, but it would absolutely rock as a commercial all-in-one console for a 3D printer farm or something. If there is enough commercial value in a device like that, $2k could be a bargain.
Just call it X-Twitter. It ain’t twitter any more, and “X” is just dumb as fuck.
