there's a kid whose neck is so kinked its debilitating and his dad, who's having a lot of problems with the mom, sees it as an excuse to go away from home so he can gently caress boys in bath houses while taking the kid to visit different doctors/mystics etc around the country. On one trip the kid is tired of waiting for the dad to come back to the hotel so he goes to a bath house to try and relax when a strange man enters his room and jerks him off. the light turns on. it's his dad. the dad, so embarassed that he jerked off his son, slaps him so hard it fixes his neck.

smic is making what appears to be 7nm-class chips based on multi-patterning techniques at feature sizes close to what tsmc had before finally using euv. however they have no obvious ways of acquiring euv lithography or any future advances beyond that at the time. domestic technology at those steps in the chain are further behind than the fab and design steps. the financial situation is probably really corrupt and hosed up because of being a big strategic deal that the state wants to throw money at but i don’t know the details. however that is not likely to be the main issue going forward

ultimately they can survive having worse chips and having to take their time filling in the gaps from sanctions and export controls. there’s no magic involved that can’t be rediscovered the hard way and there’s no threat to life from slow smartphones. the researchers who use supercomputers may be a bit sad

Is this a syq?

Are there any actual obstacles here to their chip development other than the same "China can't do things that are hard" I see in every western news article?

edit: they censored 1% of the footage and of that 1%, 90% was for crude sexual jokes

Most of the Chinese political media I read is furiously making GBS threads on Gorbachev right now lmao. Lots of comments amounting to "He betrayed communism and drove his country into the ground, but at least China learned from his mistakes"

Dumb question that i don't know where else to ask: Is there a C-Spam thread where I can post a few relevant things about Serbia? One that preferably isn't one of those hosed up GBS style minstrel show threads about the balkans or ex-yu that show up like once every other month.

the lithography issue is at least believed to be a legitimately huge technical obstacle. i think China can do it, it will probably just take some years. it could also be a smaller technical issue than it's believed to be and they just go full suez.

is the LGBTQIA2S+ identity that was censored just "dude who fucks his lady cousin"? sounds a lot more like incest than LGBT stuff

Alright, I'll probably repost this in the Europe(an Union) thread too.

In the recent years, Serbia's coal industry got hosed up pretty badly by various hazards and disasters, and our power production suffered pretty badly for it. As an added bonus, coal production this year is on the lower end of what could have been expected in the conditions. With the ongoing trade clusterfuck, we've started importing a lot of power, and it's likely that it's going to significantly escalate when winter hits. We're already experiencing major food price hikes, and the first signs of shortages of basic produce. (it's still not particularly bad, but you're starting to see things like all the stores in an area running out of milk mid-day, etc). The national power company is offering (additional) reduction of power bills for people who drop their power consumption by a certain percentage over the next few months, relative to their prior power spending, but the implication inbetween the lines is that the price is going to go up in general for everyone.

One of the options being brought up by our government (in a way that a lot of poo poo 'options' were brought up in before being implemented) is a loan from the IMF, in exchange for them getting to decide how our national power infrastructure is run. For ideas on what happens when IMF makes deals like that with countries in the Balkans, you are free to look at what happened in Greece.
The recent media storm about Kosovo fits this in nicely with the cycle of europe/nato making GBS threads on us out of nowhere, followed by our government puffing up as the world's greatest patriots who'd never do what the eu tells them, followed by some sort of loud deescalation broadcasted everywhere, and a quiet surrender of yet another part of our economy that never gets mentioned outside of the country and is heavily downplayed within it. Especially when I consider how laser-focused the EU was on loving with our energy sector ever since the war in Ukraine begun.


poo poo's gonna get ugly this winter. Very ugly. And if the IMF deal goes through, it's gonna stay ugly.

Would you say that Serbia is being debt trapped by the IMF with this sort of loan?

I think the EU will toss sanctions in the trash after the first round of gas riots in the winter because they don't actually care about what happens in east europe like the USA does and are just waiting for an excuse to go "well we tried sorry america "

(this excepts poland, who no one really needs to try to impress anyway)
