I'll summarize it for you: computational propaganda with an emphasis on discerning and disrupting social network structure.

The gridlock is simply the manifested reality that legislation is fully pay to play, but if you're paying that's not your problem.

SMIC is generously 1-2 nodes behind Intel at this point and have only caught up since we've started utilizing sanctions?

Intel meanwhile has not had to compete in any other sense than process technology in decades.

They've been habitually humiliated by any competitor with access to any process no matter how dated for the simple fact that they're trying to compete not maximize monopoly extraction with that process.

They've abandoned numerous innovations simply because they weren't extractive enough compared to inferior alternatives.

I don't think any amount of tipping the scale with sanctions is going to save Intel from being savaged into a mist of blood and insolvency the moment a competitor enters the arena without a process technology disadvantage, and that much seems inevitable now.

It's simply not in their DNA to survive in that environment.

On the other hand, I suppose lobbying for sanctions and subsidies would be textbook Intel strategy.

I feel like the author doesn't really need to introduce the concept of black hole computation to draw an equivalence between simulation theory and interacting with reality to achieve an intended state, though.

In a sense any time you manipulate reality you are simulating a new reality in a computational subset of your prior reality, with similar implications whether or not any part of the computation falls into a black hole or involves digital logic.

I think at least some part of simulation theory must be true because it is trivially equivalent to having consequences in reality, and black hole computation as described would just be a limiting case where the mass-energy is potentially fully occupied by a single computation approaching infinite space and time complexity.

You need to pay their cronies the protection fee or something unfortunate might happen to your porn site.

With a side helping of pandering to the christofascist base, which laps up transparent corruption up as long as they flog the sinners a few times a session.

It is, quite simply, why I left North Carolina.

It's not that he wants to get paid for the unsold inventory, it's that he believes he doesn't get paid at all when they resell as new the used inventory he rejected and returned in quality control of his royalty free author purchase.

Wake me when someone's doing something about it besides uneventfully retiring off the ill-gotten gains.

It sounds like the original owner's contractor is alleging that the Chinese investors are also not paying them for services at the mine, while the Chinese investors are claiming the contractor failed to deliver?

It's not really clear from the article who is even ripping who off to me.

Essentially every obvious optimization here is currently bearing fruit simultaneously in smaller studies and incrementally larger models should continue to exhibit performance gains even without the particular focus on this area.

Hell, 90% of journalism these days is just internet begging.

> Like carbides, nitrides are often refractory materials owing to their high lattice energy, which reflects the strong bonding of "N3−" to with metal cation(s). Thus, cubic boron nitride, titanium nitride, and silicon nitride are used as cutting materials and hard coatings. Hexagonal boron nitride, which adopts a layered structure, is a useful high-temperature lubricant akin to molybdenum disulfide.

Beyond that, when it comes to cutting tools in particular, there's often interesting solid phase and surface chemistry with layered gradients of oxynitrides forming at depth from the working interface that have similar properties to the base nitride and absorb energy through multiple phase changes and chemical dissociations before ultimate mass reduction, extending the life of the working surface

I'm not even entirely sure that the act of consuming it yields more calories from consumption than consumed in exertion for humans.

Most species that subsist on bamboo are sedentary and spend significant fractions of their time and energy simply masticating.

I think it's a valid question that its status as not being petroleum derived does not necessarily answer meaningfully.

I start with a board and cut/slot it so it fits neatly into the top and bottom tracks, then I move the latch receiver to the board, zip a few screws through the board where the holes won't be noticed.

The glass door opening becomes a bit narrower, and I can cut as many holes as I want in that little bit of wall.

If it's painted white it usually ends up looking better than most of the corporate maintenance work on the building.

Moisture builds on the heat exchange surfaces of the heat exchanger, particulates, spores, etc. in the air deposit nutrients and viable life in the crud, it thrives and multiples right into the incoming airstream for your residence.

When the window is opened the air mixes without a surface for condensation and there's much less immediate deposition so there's not an enriched medium to sustain accelerated growth entirely in the air stream, but it still probably occurs to some extent in a more diffuse manner that produces a significantly lower ambient spore/toxin/particulate load

They spontaneously combust frequently enough to merit multiple recalls and there have been a number of unexplained fires reported in the news and on forums outside the recall model years.

In most cases the source of ignition has been treated as the defect for the recalls, but I'm of the opinion that the design of the undercarriage of many of the newer Toyota trucks is simply a fire hazard waiting for an excuse to become an insurance claim.

It's essentially a forced draft chimney with a plastic gas tank at the end practically sitting on the exhaust, without heat shielding, inches from the suspension (confirmed cause of fire recall #1) and bearing the weight of the plastic bed (confirmed cause of fire recall #2).

Oh, right, and I almost forgot the bed! The bed sitting over the barely shielded exhaust and unshielded plastic gas tank is also plastic in most of the newer ones too... yep, they're pretty flammable.

If you hate being exposed to differing points of view so much, what are you doing on a forum?

  Dave: How would you account for this discrepancy between you and the twin 9000?
  HAL: Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.
  Frank: Listen HAL. There has never been any instance at all of a computer error occurring in the 9000 series, has there?
  HAL: None whatsoever, Frank. The 9000 series has a perfect operational record.
  Frank: Well of course I know all the wonderful achievements of the 9000 series, but, uh, are you certain there has never been any case of even the most insignificant computer error?
  HAL: None whatsoever, Frank. Quite honestly, I wouldn’t worry myself about that.
