oh you support China? then why is the "communist" party full of princelings living off inherited wealth? https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2024/04/22/desmond-shum-on-how-xi-jinping-beat-down-chinas-red-aristocrats Desmond Shum on how Xi Jinping beat down China’s red aristocrats quote:The red aristocrats of modern Communist China behave very similarly to the blue-blood aristocrats of the Western world in medieval times. This elite group is distinguished by its hereditary bloodlines: it includes descendants of revolutionaries who fought alongside Mao Zedong and the children of those who ran China after the Communist takeover in 1949. Because of their high social standing, these red aristocrats—sometimes referred to as “princelings”—enjoy privileged access and influence in every aspect of Chinese society. Their awareness of their status can sometimes instil in them a sense of noblesse oblige. thank you, president xi

Never heard of Cantonia including Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Clearly all of these countries are politically aligned and would like to be part of an explicitly definitely not Chinese state.

An actual independent """Cantonia""" would include Guangxi province. Did they even make a fake Cantonia movement NPO in Langley and have a PO box in a strip mall UPS store?

Megamissen posted:why do they call it cantonia instead of guangdong (or the cantonese equivalent if thats different) Iirc the original proposed area (some Guangzhou official proposed it in the... 70s?) was Guangdong, Guangxi, a bit of Hunan and Jiangxi, and also a tiny part of Fujian. Guangzhou and other Cantonese speaking regions have historically been a more wealthy because well... Trade and access to the ocean. This has led to a bit of a separatist streak on the fringes a la California because "We're being held back by supporting Shanxi!" You actually see some similar stuff in Zhejiang, but most of that is tamped down because of the ongoing project to build a national identity layered on top of the strong regional and linguistic identities folks have. Looking at a smattering of articles on Cantonia and Wikipedia, the only people really talking about it are Chinese economists living overseas who think it'd be good to balkanize because - like above - the prosperity of certain provinces is being held back by the poor lovely backwaters. tl;dr - California separatist chauvinism with Chinese characteristics

Gamers rise up Chinese may be evading Nvidia GPU sanctions with Dell, Gigabyte, and Supermicro servers: Report www.tomshardware.com - Tue, 23 Apr 2024 posted:Investigations have provided evidence that China-based organizations could still get their hands on sanctioned Nvidia GPUs as recently as Feb 28, 2024. According to Reuters, Chinese universities and research institutes may have sidestepped the sanctions on the most powerful GPUs by buying servers packing these powerful accelerators. However, an Nvidia spokesperson indicated that the products sold were likely to include stocks that had been previously exported to resellers in China.

Dante80 posted:Chinese companies in the meantime.. from what I've seen of the chinese auto market they are going to walk all over everything in the west and all over japan people think capitalism is better at cars but it's really not capitalism is better at suiting individual tastes but all of the most successful designs have risen from letting the engineering dictate the design over personal taste and ideal expectations, including every successful economy car going back to the volkswagen but if people use a design or concepts from something else then they're Copying so there's all these separate designs and manufacturing processes that should really be standardized that then aren't for no good reason and it all makes stuff worse all variance in models of the same size/role is only making stuff worse and more expensive & the idea of brand and identity are just antithetical to mass produced machines western manufacturers are retarded and always have been - a clear example in auto racing people were ignoring all aerodynamics except drag until the late 60s, well after inventing the airplane, with cars that went faster than the first airplanes - this was partly because of material manufacturing advances, aluminum and carbon fibers allowing lightweight bodywork strong enough to redirect hundreds/thousands of pounds of air but also because capitalist owners like Enzo Ferrari saying stuff like 'aerodynamics are for people who can't build a fast enough engine' way after people knew it was stupid because stubborn old guys this kinda stuff is still going on in different avenues of advance in performance/economy and china is gonna walk on all these people and they'll never catch back up again once it happens https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterlyon/2024/03/03/bucking-industry-trend-toyota-chairman-downplays-ev-growth-predictions/?sh=379155204621 "While serving as CEO, Toyoda refused to give EV development top priority, claiming that battery-powered vehicles were too complicated and unpopular with consumers. Instead, under his leadership the company made significant investments in hybrid and hydrogen drivetrains. " like lol electric cars have their problems but they're anything but complicated on the consumer end they don't even have oil changes

FirstnameLastname posted:people think capitalism is better at cars but it's really not Not to dredge up a "Is China capitalist?" argument here, but I think the main difference is that while US interpreted supply-side economics as giving tax breaks to capitalists to invest in hedge funds, China has interpreted it as giving money to capitalists to build factories. That feels like something the US could have done before Reagan.

BYD started as a battery developer and manufacturer and made batteries for most of your consumer products. They then decided to branch out into automobiles since they were making batteries already. Their first cars were kinda poo poo and Musk famously laughed at them during a interview. Now rhey are the second largest battery manufacturer in the world behind CATL and has arguably some of the most advanced and safe batteries in the world and have a huge range of cars from cheap 10k vehicles to extremely advanced EVs that compares very favorably to Tesla, BMW, and other high end vehicles. I wish I could buy this here in the US. https://youtu.be/KueNkBVbYQQ?si=LRqHaLwqiBCgthwk

Ardennes posted:Yeah, Risc V chips are recently getting more advanced, they went from small microcontrollers to fully usable CPUs. there's a whole other discussion about how the industry's move to ARM is transparently an excuse by large American corporations (and by extension the US government) to turn the "personal computer" into a closed platform, another part of the US' concern for RISC-V is that its ostensibly neutral status can serve as a mitigation against that happening.

IIRC, Arm's licensing in China is different. Arm under softbank ownership created a new entity called Arm-China which is joined owned by Arm and Chinese companies 50-50. And the Arm v8 is being licensed to Chinese companies including Huawei perpetually via Arm-China. So I don't see how you can make Arm a "closed" platform.

tractor fanatic posted:Can you elaborate? That's interesting for reasons you can easily imagine, vendors want to put a lid on that. we sort of see this happening to x64 in the form of windows 11's inane requirements such as TPM and "secure boot", neither of which actually do much to secure end users as the vectors for getting pwned for those people don't actually target those specific things (and in some cases implementations of TPM/secure boot make the machine more vulnerable!!) it does make it easier for Big Data types of people to remotely access/disable machines in what they claim could be a "massive ransomware attack", but it is a rather inane ask to get hundreds of millions of people outside corporate environments to agree to install those things no matter how benign you say your intentions are. with ARM, the best you get for platforms that let you do whatever is RPI and its myriad of clones and HPC datacenter systems with price tags you can't possibly afford, the big commercial ARM platforms that are actually used (android and ios) are tightly locked and are practically walled gardens and the number of "root"able SKUs goes down with each passing year. windows implementations on ARM are similarly locked down. e: the windows 11 requirements are also intended to turn many legacy PCs into functionally e-waste, even though part of the beauty of the PC is that you can use stuff as old as say an Athlon 64 and as long as your performance demands are modest you can keep on trucking with that PC. windows 11 was also demonstrated to run just fine on old PCs without those things, though they're trying to find arbitrary ways to deliberately break functionality on such PCs.
