I’m not sure why people are surprised? Intel pulled off 7nm without EUV. It’s just classic “China stupid, only American company can do that” bullshit.

AMD’s fabs became Global Foundries, who pulled out of the bleeding-edge node game once it became cost prohibitive to do so with 7nm.

Intel is still on 7nm. Samsung’s 5nm is basically 7nm+. The fact that SMIC can do 7nm without EUV is insanely impressive.

Intel took years and years of delays to achieve the same thing.

Ads are a core component of how search makes money. They’re also a core component of how YouTube makes money.

Satellites have some degree of mobility and space junk follows trajectories that can be computed basically infinitely into the future.

Space junk is highly deterministic, though. No atmosphere to fuck with.

Most people from hexbear provide sources, which is better than can be said for all the tankie hate.

It’s literally a poor financial decision to get an iPhone in the US. Flagship pricing on Android phones in the US is so fucking low you can get an S23 for like $300 on a $20 4 month contract.

Quite. All American networking equipment is being used to spy on people, so clearly all Chinese networking equipment must be, too. Evidence? Unnecessary.

There are an immense number of ways to dissipate excess power by shifting the cost/benefit curve.

One recent work looked at repurposing aging electronics when the energy cost curve allows it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.06870

Fiberglass is a bitch and it’s used in far greater quantities.

Have you ever wondered why people are so eager to accept the premise that China is doing everything to spy on foreign nationals?

Considering that those claims are almost all getting started by American agencies, and given the details of the Snowden leaks… America is projecting.

Do you understand how fucking convoluted and bureaucratically insane the US H1B visa system is?

On the other hand, what if the problem is simply one that’s no longer important for most people? Isn’t technological advancement supposed to introduce abstraction that people can develop on?

You mean AITags?

Lemmy needs a refpost system where you can choose to post articles to different instances that link together.

You then can get all the benefits of centralization without necessarily being centralized.

Lemmy.ca is the superior instance and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

If the USB-IF can agree on it, why not?

The USB-IF moves so slowly it might as well be standing still.

LemmyFans when?

There’s sides to this. On one hand, targeting poor workers isn’t a good look. On the other hand, if you can afford a massive new and clean SUV/pickup in Hamburg of all places, you’re probably not a poor worker.

I say go for it. It’s better than blocking traffic.
