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.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t have the power to dick around with human rights halfway across the globe.

Usually people would consider within a few degrees (1? 2? Certainly less than 5) to be an acceptable margin, but the pole itself is a well-defined point along the axis of rotation.

This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn’t reward actual proper journalism.

Might as well have quoted my own asshole

American media is legitimately just extremely unreliable. British, Chinese, Russian, French, German, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian sources all got the detail that the recent Indian moon mission landed near the South Pole, but most American media picked up that they had somehow landed on the South Pole and put that in their titles.

They were 21 degrees of latitude off, for reference.

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.

Why would Ford care when it can just petition the US government to block the sale of Chinese cars? It’s the same thing Boeing did to block Bombardier sales in the US.

It absolutely is, even if your particular instance hasn’t been. Lemmy.world probably takes the brunt of it.

Does that claim remove the existence of conflict of interest?

If you feel like giving China a domestic supply of O&G so they can switch their coal plants to gas ones, be my guest.

That’s been the single greatest contributor to reduced emissions in North America and Europe over the past few decades.

State funding describes a conflict of interest, whether perceived or actual.

Musk wasn’t wrong in applying the state media tag to NPR/BBC/CBC. At the end of the day, they are funded by the state.

Thanks, China.

The entire point of E2EE is that it doesn’t matter who the host is.

Tell me you haven’t read the Communist Manifesto without telling me you haven’t read the Communist Manifesto.

China is moving faster on renewables than every other country. China is moving faster on EVs than every other country.

Who’s not changing?
