MaxPock··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
I think I kind of understand why the Soviets were able to industrialize that fast and win an existential war against the mighty Wehrmacht. The so called purges from late 20s to to the 30s were Stalin eliminating these 5th columnists.
MaxPock··on Finland detains ship and its crew after critical undersea cable damaged
Europe believes that Russia is doing all sorts of bad things and there's also the belief that Moscow plans to invade the EU .

Isn't the logical action for EU to launch massive pre-emptive strikes on this big bad country that hates the western way of life ?

MaxPock··on China may have reverse engineered EUV lithography tool in covert lab
So EUV is so easy to reverse engineer ? Haven't we been told by western analysts that it is the most complex machine ever made :that it has 400,000 parts and it's impossible to copy even if ASML gave them blueprints ?
MaxPock··on Anthropic’s paper smells like bullshit
Dario has been a reds scare jukebox for a while.Dario has for a year been trying to convince us how open source cCp AI bad and closed source American AI good. Dario driven by the democratic ideals he holds dear has our best interests at heart. Let us all support the banning of cCp's open source AI and welcome Dario's angelic firewall.
MaxPock··on Tongyi DeepResearch – open-source 30B MoE Model that rivals OpenAI DeepResearch
There’s no Chinese lab that has been accused by OpenAI or anyone else of distillation. The accusations come from fringe right-wing media that are used to the “China only copies” trope. Training a model, by the way, is not about money, because many Western tech giants have more money than the CCP can allocate to Chinese labs. Apple, Meta, Amazon, SAP, IBM, and others have access to the same data as OpenAI and should thus be able to come up with a SOTA model in under a year, right? On lax copyright enforcement, I’d like to point out that it’s actually Western labs that have been taken to court for stealing content.

On matters protectionism,the Great Firewall was the best thing that China did.It prevented them from digital colonization like the rest of the world.

MaxPock··on Tongyi DeepResearch – open-source 30B MoE Model that rivals OpenAI DeepResearch
This sounds like copium . If it was just about distillation,we'd be seeing many awesome models from Europe ,Japan and even India.

Tencent already has this with WeChat.Good to see it on chatgpt finally
MaxPock··on NIST's DeepSeek "evaluation" is a hit piece
"If Russia were an American style democracy, they could vote in a new guy, send the boys, home, maybe mete out some token punishment to Putin, then be absolved of their crimes on the international stage by a world that's happy to see 'permanent' change"

This is funny because none of that happened to Bush for the illegal an full scale invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan nor to Clinton for the disastrous invasion of Mogadishu.

MaxPock··on iFixit iPhone Air teardown
Would be interesting to know where the iPhone Air was built; India or China ? I'm asking because I understand it requires some very advanced tooling and expertise which the Chinese are not keen to share with the Indians and I'd be surprised if they have

I don't think subsidies are the issue. Farmers get billions in subsidies every year, and they don't get that much hate from the MAGA world.
MaxPock··on The US Department of Agriculture Bans Support for Renewables
If Sputnik had happened today,MAGA would would have dismissed it as commie wastefulness.

MaxPock··on Lithium compound can reverse Alzheimer’s in mice: study
Things I love to read.

I went to visit my aunt one day, and my favourite uncle couldn't recognize me. It made me think that Alzheimer's is probably the worst thing that could happen to a person. I mean, what's worse than not being able to recognize those closest to you? You work a lifetime, and then you go out in such an undignified manner.

I pray for a cure in my lifetime.

MaxPock··on Apple announces American Manufacturing Program
The reason why they don't amount to anything is because there is usually no follow-up and accountability. In China,after such an announcement ,a CCP official(whose promotion hinges on successful implementation of the investment)would have been assigned to Apple to see to it that the project is completed
MaxPock··on Cognitive decline can be slowed down with lifestyle changes
I had a successful exit two years ago ,thinking retirement would be bliss,traveling here, exploring hobbies there. But it all became routine and surprisingly boring, faster than I expected.

Over time, I started forgetting things, which really unsettled me. I became increasingly lazy and unmotivated.

Earlier this year,I began volunteering as a systems administrator and network engineer for an NGO and I couldn’t be happier. The daily interaction with staff has significantly improved my cognition,which had been rapidly declining.
