2·3 hours agoOk that’s fair, what Iran is doing is very similar to Russia’s approach of launching combination of drones and missiles to overwhelm Ukrainian defences.
2·3 hours agoSeems like the worker movement is a lot stronger in Bolivia, and they actually ran US puppet out of the country already.
I don’t really see the misleading part in the headline myself. While China and Russia undoubtedly help Iran, it seems that Iranians are perfectly capable to inflict massive damage on the empire using their own technical capabilities. While Ukraine is a western proxy entirely dependent on its western masters, Iran has its own deep technological and industrial base. It’s worth remembering that it was Iran that originally did a technology transfer of their drone technology to Russia rather than the other way around.
I think if you read the actual article you’ll see that the headline is justified. It explains the actual mechanics of what Iran did, and this shouldn’t be trivialized. While the idea of what to do might not be that complicated, actually implementing it against an adversary like the US is not trivial.
What actually matters here is that the whole US military doctrine has become obsolete because of drones. It’s not just that Iran can find and hit US targets, it’s that they can do it very cheaply while US has to spend expensive and difficult to build interceptors which can’t even hit these kinds of targets effectively. It’s the economics of the whole thing that are defeating the US.
There is no way around needing helium, but China will boost their own production in time and they have access to helium from Russia as well. Meanwhile, the reason they can move so fast is due to having a centrally planned system the west rejects. It’s the same reason Russia is now outproducing all of NATO in terms of weapons and ammunition.
The west is in no position to recreate the necessary supply chains. Rare earths alone is a perfect example. I wrote about the problem in detail here if you’re interested. Even under the most aggressive diversification scenarios, China is expected to retain 80% of global refining capacity by 2040. And that’s just one example. The west has very little leverage at this point.
Also, as she correctly points out, China doesn’t need to get to ASML levels to make these fabs useful. As long as they’re better than the current ones, that already means China will be producing better domestic chips. And they’re also innovating with architecture as well such as Huawei’s tau law design which folds the chip and dramatically improves performance. All these things work together.
Finally, China is aggressively pursuing alternative computing substrates and some are already starting to come online. This is a recent example. These kinds of things have the potential to leapfrog silicon chips entirely. There’s nothing comparable happening in the west because you can’t do these kinds of projects without massive amount of state funding and direction to sustain them until they become profitable on their own.
I just kept the original title, she does explain how EUV works well, as well as the difference between Chinese approach and what ASML did.
It does look like OpenHarmony is slowly moving to becoming a general standard in China though which is at least some progress in the right direction https://pandaily.com/openharmony-six-year-transformation-jul2026
What do you think the Chernobyl series was exactly, and why do you think it was made?
It’s a Js runtime that’s a popular alternative to node.js
China is fundamentally different from the US in every respect imaginable, and you should spend a bit of time actually educating yourself on the subject instead of just stating your uninformed opinions. Here are a couple of books you can get started with to actually understand China:
To be clear, the ideology of capitalism is absolutely not baked into AI, because development of this technology is not exclusive to capitalist states. China is a socialist state, and technology developed there is very much rooted in the material conditions of China. Similarly, there are open source projects working on AI tech which are not commercially driven. Your argument holds for AI tech built by corporations in the US.
Yup, every technology can be abused and has negative effects. It is the job of social structures to make sure it is used in a way that’s actually beneficial to the society at large.
also true
lmao I love how it went from 84 to 3 stars now, I guess stars must reset when repo is undeleted?
some turbolib made a Lemmy client that had a hardcoded blacklist of users and instances they considered to be communists
