> If that's the case, then you should be able to provide tons of evidence. It's difficult to "hide" or "manipulate" data in a country the size of china that is tied to the global trading system.

not very tied, actually, precisely because of heavy government interventions

> "Democratic countries". Like russia? Or venezuela? Oh, let me guess, democratic countries you don't like are not "democratic countries". Right.

I think that we can agree that democratic countries are countries where there is a choice and you see changes of government caused by free elections. That's not the case for Russia or Venezuela but it is (still) the case for most of the Western world

> You are just repeating the standard anti-china propaganda. It's the same of nonsense over and over again. > "None of china's data can be trusted. They are lying and they are about to collapse". Followed by, "Oh my god china is an existential threat. They are going to overtake us. Deep seek, rare earth minerals blah blah blah". > Make up your mind.

Who said that? Only you


> I've always had the feeling that AI researchers want to build their own human without having to change diapers being part of the process. Just skip to adulthood please, and learn to drive a car without having experience in bumping into things and hurting yourself.

I partially agree, but the idea about AI is that you need to bump into things and hurt yourself only once. Then you have a good driver you can replicate at will


China is decades behind the West in EUV technology. The attempt to create an independent supply chain is also a forced choice since all the EUV supply chain and knowledge pool are heavily protected by the West and are so complex and big that China cannot sidestep it even with a lot of resources.

Those numbers are realistic. EUV is the most complex machine ever built by humans


the statistics would be different. Check out Rabi oscillations (classical EM) vs Jaynes-Cummings model (quantized EM) and phenomena like quantum antibunching (only possible for quantized EM)


How would mergers produce antibunched gravity?


Why does it need an internet connection?


MacRelix has an `upgrade` command that will check for and fetch a new version of itself.

The installer is merely a stripped-down, single-file build of MacRelix with just enough tools to run the installer script, including `upgrade`.


I do wish there was a periodic side-loadable “full” release since I usually run my old Macs with no network connection at all.

I didn’t feel like setting up open WiFi or WEP WiFi (same thing amirite) for my PowerBook so to install it I had my ThinkPad running internet connection sharing, connected through two patch cables and an old PowerConnect switch since I couldn’t find a crossover cable.


Still the question remains, are they dangerous?

I guess some materials in the body have some response to magnetic fields


Very strong constant magnetic fields don't seem to be dangerous (at least at the kind of levels MRI machines work at, which are within an order of magnitude of the strongest magnets on the planet). A very rapidly changing strong magnetic field can be dangerous, because it induces currents in your body, like in your nerves. There are safety limits (very conservatively set) in MRI machines on how quickly they adjust magnetic fields, as if they were to really go for it there's a risk of heart problems (in the moment, it's not like CT scans where more exposure means more risk later in life).


We don't have any evidence they are dangerous. There are some phenomenon like magnetophosenes. You could also look up what a magnetar would theoretically do to a body, but nobody is getting close to one of them anytime soon.


not at all whatsoever. however if you have gadolinium injected for contrast some people have problems with that. but the magnetic field itself doesn't affect you negatively on its own


Is there a field strength at which the iron in your blood would start to become a problem?


This is probably an adequate answer to that:

Some experiments with magnet, water, blood etc.

With typical usage they contain more sensitive data and people are less aware of what happens in them than PCs.

And mobile phones are perfect spying devices too. So the security question is more delicate


Well, not really. Usually people have all their personal data on their PC, rather than mobile phone.

Maybe this is changing for young people, but on my parents hard drive (for example) there is 30+ years of all sort of personal data, documents of every kind, emails, documents, etc. Not counting all the password and access saved in the browser itself.

If we talk about businesses, public administrations, hospitals basically everything is inside computers, including very sensitive data.


The location data from your PC, for example, is not nearly as sensitive as a phone.


Honestly what you describe seems to be an attempt by Apple PR to save face.

They fear the spotlight on the fact that even on alternate stores only accounts controlled by Apple can publish apps, which might become the focus of new regulations


*only accounts controlled by Apple can publish apps… and have to pay an installation fee of 0.5$ per app per user per year.


There’s no way that the EU permits Apple to control this going forwards.


Southern Gaza, Israel considers a part of Southern Gaza an humanitarian zone and dropped fliers explaining that.


OCHA (UN org) were not impressed: https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/...

Like lambs to slaughter.


So what do you think would happen if terrorists took over the MIT campus, students sympathized with them, rockets were launched from it, and the US police had no presence there and very sparse intelligence?


> students sympathized with them

So we're back to 'all of them are guilty'

The shame here is what you described is literally Hamas' reasoning for carrying out the October attacks. Dehumanization, hyper aggression, and hiding it all behind 'the opposition is inherently evil, guilty by association, so we are fundamentally justified'.
