Ironically, if she had used a Chinese hashtag she would've been fine. The state's case hinges on #MeToo being a US-backed movement, just like #Pride.
LGBT and women's rights activists in China are restricted from using foreign iconography and foreign slogans, but not from demonstrating. It's absurd, but altogether a different issue than what the article makes it out to be.
I thought that the Philippines were explicitly denied the Spratly Islands in their treaty for independence with the US because the Philippines did not hold sovereignty over the Spratlys when they were a Spanish colony? I can understand China and Vietnam's conflicting claims, but the Philippines sounds like they're ignoring the first rule of UNCLOS: UNCLOS does not resolve issues of sovereignty and does not supercede existing sovereignty claims.
The Filipino claim on the Spratlys is completely nonsensical. By the same argument, Kinmen should also be Chinese. It's stupid, insane, and just an opportunity to deflect from the very real territorial dispute between China/Taiwan and Vietnam.
More efficient chips do not have emergent behaviours (outside of, say, mobile and autonomous vehicles). More efficient chips make things more economical. Total compute capability is a function of manufacturing capability (which reflects in capital cost), electricity (which reflects in operating cost), and efficiency (which also reflects in operating cost). If your manufacturing capability is obscene and your electricity output is obscene, then you can handwave a lot of efficiency concerns by just scaling the number of chips you have in a system. In terms of aggregate computing capability, 5nm is more than sufficient to keep pace given enough scale.
There's an interesting figure that I saw a while ago: China's % of electricity generation dedicated to data centers is lower than both the US and EU, and due to top line electricity generation growth this proportion is basically not expected to move in the next decade. China has a LOT of freedom to tank efficiency losses that other regions simply do not.
There's a small condition here that scaling usually has some degree of losses, but for LLM training it's basically non-existent and for supercomputing it's supposed to be around 10% losses due to networking/etc.
Some Mesoamerican groups saw population growth under early Spanish occupation, too.
Seems like this community continues to ride the dick of MBFC to determine the "credibility" of articles. Fat load of good this post did.
It's offensive.
There's two rational positions on this: allow all propaganda, or block all propaganda. Selectively allowing propaganda is just exposing the mods' political opinions and pushing it on everyone else.
Fact is, nobody really knows what's going on. Fog of war is in play and everyone has an incentive to lie.
Lack of effective deployment, mostly.
Bahrain is a joke
Israel casualty ratios make Russia look positively positive
Lol unfortunate
Glad that we agree that the South China Sea is entirely vibes-driven and has no foundation in international law.
