Western countries have started strategic plans to become less dependent on Chinese manufacturing and especially the Chinese dominance in electronics manufacturing.

For such plans to succeed it is important to not mix them up with rural/flyover state job creation programs. One reason Chinese manufacturing has been a runaway succes is because how close their factories are to big cities and technical universities.

A future German Shenzen should be close to a big city with many technical universities nearby. A future American Shenzen should a stone throw away from Silicon Valley.

Many of the expensive US military programs are flyover state job creation programs masquerading as weapons programs.

>solar and wind

I keep seeing these two mixed together and it's unfair to wind.

Wind has proven itself and entire European countries have been able to run days on wind energy. With HVDC and energy storage wind alone could potentially cover more than half of our energy need.

Has solar shown the same potential?

I think it's a good idea that knowledge workers learn the fundamentals of at least one trade. I am interested in HVAC and building automation.

You can also master a trade and become a knowledge worker. Here in Denmark it's possible to mix pre-university/gymnasium (equivalent to year 10-12 in the US) with a trade. Combined it takes 4.5-5 years.

What do embedded real-time Linux people use for bootloader, init system, utilities, and C standard library implementation? Even Android that does not have real-time constraints ended up using Toybox for utilities and rolling their own C standard library (Bionic).

>Big complex hardware is a no-no for true real-time.

SpaceX uses x86 processors for their rockets. That small drone copter NASA put on Mars uses "big-ish" ARM cores that can probably run older versions of Android.

>It's irrelevant what nationality the initial founders once had.

That is not the point.

Most big open source projects end up with an entire commercial ecosystem backing them. KDE has probably directly created many more jobs in Europe/Germany than GNOME. Such things should be taken into consideration when determining who deserves grants paid by EU/German tax payers.

Most .NET backend services and web apps are now deployed on Linux (containers). The default .NET PaaS experience on Azure (App Service) also defaults to Linux.

I'm in a GDPR/EU country and did not get that message. What is your ISP location?

Maybe the quality of the Chinese competitors is/was worse but ESP32 and its predecessor have completely taken over the cheap BLE/WiFi segment by simply flooding hobbyists and students with ultra-cheap devkits.

Maybe something the Western competitors should learn from.

The country that gave the Houthis intermediate range ballistic missiles is also capable of developing pistol-type fission bombs if current estimates of the country's uranium enrichment capabilities are to be believed.

It is interesting how Iran is the only country that is, through its proxies, getting kinetic against Israel. The Iranian proxies in Yemen and Lebanon have been firing missiles at Israel for a month while the Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria are starting to assemble in Syria for what might be a land invasion of Israel.

This has given Iran an unprecedented level of popularity and credibility in the Islamic world.

How did Iran-Israel relations even get this bad to begin with?

Do you even read NYT, WaPo, and CNN? They have all been very good at showing things from the Palestinian side and how much people in Gaza are suffering.

It's absolutely unhinged to put them in the same category as Fox News.

I noticed that too but I think it's because we are hitting new servers that just went online. They will probably get saturated and slower with time when other gpt-4 users start using gpt-4-turbo.

If it truly is GPT-4+ with a 128K context window it's still absolutely worth the high price. That is literally 300 pages. However if they are cheating like everyone else who has promised gigantic context windows then we are better off with RAG and a vector database.

Something to look out for in recent years are cultist grassroot investors who organize on Reddit and Twitter to influence politicians to do something that is favorable to their stock and harass journalists and YouTubers who report critically and harm their stock.

r/TeslaInvestors and r/AMD_Stock are some of the worst. I can easily imagine some in the latter organizing to get RISC-V banned in the US.

This was also the Kremlin's position during the Arab-Israeli wars in the 60s and 70s.

We really are back to the Cold War.

Interesting that Telegram only blocks channels that embarrass the Russian government.

What is the most Lisp-like type safe language?

>Meduza is a notorious propaganda outlet with a penchant for just blatantly making stuff up.

No, it's credible exiled Russian media. Your account however has a history of just blatantly making up pro-Russian claims.

>Considering even twitter (now X)

There are a lot of things you can no longer find on xhitter because serious people are leaving that bit and misinformation filled hellhole.

Yes, there are specific business rules for each nation, region/state, and city.

From your link:

>I've suggested (& published in 21 journal papers) a new theory called quantised inertia (or MiHsC) that assumes that inertia is caused by horizons damping quantum fields. It predicts galaxy rotation & lab thrusts without any dark stuff or adjustment.

In the physics community theories that reject dark matter are broadly considered pseudoscience and theories that reject WIMPs are broadly considered unlikely to be true.

Very useful C testing library that our embedded developers use along with the principles and methods described in the book 'Test-Driven Development for Embedded C':

From at outside perspective it's interesting how little the US taxes people in the top 5% income bracket. Here in Denmark the progressive tax on this segment makes up the biggest source of tax collection.

O3DE is based on Amazon Lumberyard which in turn is based on the industry-proven CryEngine 5 from Crytek. The codebase has been modernized to C++17 and the parallel rendering engine "Atom" supports Vulkan, DirectX 12, and real-time ray tracing.

This might have more to do with Web Summit and Cosgrave having ties to Qatar. The Qatar government funds Hamas and houses the Hamas leadership. It's amazing what you can get away with by being an OPEC+ cartel member.

I think he is being cancelled for being critical of Israel and because he and Web Summit have ties to Qatar.

The Kurdish locals there want them there.

Just a reminder that in the C# world you don't really have to care about new language features. Visual Studio, ReSharper, and Rider (supports MacOS/Linux) will suggest useful new language features as a one-shortcut refactoring.

A C# developers who went into coma in 2012 after learning about async/await and ASP.NET MVC can be awakened today and be instantly productive. Although he might go into coma again if he finds out .Net is now open source, cross-platform, and that we deploy to "Linux containers".

There has been a lot of recent progress in making PyTorch AMD compatible exactly because many government/university supercomputers are based on AMD GPUs.
