ngl999on Motorola Signature 27 with GrapheneOS support

Just curious, how relevant is MTE when considered a security feature? IIRC, last time i checked there were reports about extracting tag values so that maybe the access control enforced by the tags can be bypassed.

First, work on your English before embarrassing yourself in public.

Second, work on your logic skills before embarrassing yourself in public.

Third, you still have not explained why recording phone screens and uploading the recording without telling the phone owners is not 'suffocating anybody's human rights'.

Whataboutism, so predictable.

Also, read again what I said, 'sold in China'.

Does it hurt so much when your fantasy turns out to be fake?

Oh, and you haven't explained the uploading. Maybe your last visit to onlyfans is now in a server, you know.

> Tech in China isn't used to suffocate anybody's human rights either

Explain the mass uploading of secret screen recordings in more than ten phone brands sold in China in a component called SystemHelper, disclosed in the past few days, including but not limited to Xiaomi, Samsung, OPPO.

Motivation decides, at least partially, action, here's the missing link that should be considered, in my opinion.

ngl999on Tencent Hy4

Well, even if every big country is doing this, it'd still be fool to fall for that. And it'd still be fool to not point that out.

This one I do disagree. It is hard to recognize what is going on in people's mind but it doesn't mean one should disregard it. Because the motivation decides the long term outcome, what seems to be uplifting might well become agonizing in near term like the other reply in this thread said, the tech is so intrusive that people can't get rid of it. Like the recently exposed massive uploading of screen recordings in Xiaomi and a bunch of other phones, there's nothing much that can be done to undo this kind of crap to actually uplift people's lives.

Those who don't believe the truth when is told the truth, are probably going to be misled, too.

ngl999on Tencent Hy4

I don't disagree. But I'd also say that the attitude toward the techno- part in technocracy is purely pragmatic. Tech stuff, be it skill, knowledge or any kind of philosophy that grows out of them, is only viewed as an means to an end.

The core of the idea is still certain people trying hard to keep their social status, not tech.

Therefore, there is no inherent intention to develop tech, always to the next level. The world should not count on this to hope to have a better future.

If you really think so, you are deceived by the good old Chinese trick of showing you a good looking fake side, not totally fake, but extremely positively biased image.

You need to go deeper into the country to learn what's really there, but of course, the government will do anything to stop you from doing so. So you don't see it anyway.

EDIT: missed the in the train part. Could you tell us how easy it is to get access to the real Internet without using your foreign data plan?

But it's all hollow.

This is why Baidu's CEO can shamelessly claim Chinese people are willing to trade privacy for convenience years ago.

China is projecting an external image as a technocracy.

ngl999on OpenAI and Anthropic cut their LLM prices by up to 80% within a few months. Why?

Don't forget that Deepseek pays salary in RMB which is 1/7 of the value of USD.

You got derailed by the person I replied to. He got tickled off by thinking there is some political accusation going on and raised this other issue to defend for himself.

All people are doing something doesn't make this something legitimate. Try harder.

ngl999on LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at a much larger scale

Sorry if this sounds rough, computer science is probably only about combination, but there are many other fields

ngl999on LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at a much larger scale

Coz these machines process representation of knowledge, they don't process knowlegde. That part hasn't been figured out by human yet.

How do you even compare the amount or level of freedom of speech? One either have it or not have it! Stop pretending.

zcode was not long ago revealed to upload your entire project folder to their server encrypted using a key you don't have. And yet you still want to subscribe?

That economic freedom is a fantasy fabricated so that the king can rob people fortune created by the themselves in the name of greater good.

That's an image China wants the rest of the world to believe. Towards inside it still fits the typical stereotype.

I like this kind of stuff but I think the analogy work the best around objects that are actually on the desk. Wardrobes or steampunk looking instrument is a bit too much.
