I mean.. Yeah. The US has great demographics, they'll always have younger working age population groups because of immigration due to being less xenophobic and more prosperous than the Chinese. China on the other hand is projected to lose more than HALF their population by 2100.
The US has a debt and spending problem. But China's over reliance on property as part of GDP (30 percent of all wealth is in property there) is a big problem for them. We've already seen that with their plateauing growth numbers.
Not to mention Chinese govt provided statistics are fudged (if you don't believe me, look up how statisticians can use electricity consumption as a proxy for GDP growth, and China's doesn't match up with claims). See the massive 20 percent youth unemployment rate. What metrics are using using to say one's declining and the other is rising? I suspect it's a whole lot of feelings and not all that much data but I'm open to learning. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
It was reality. I sat with them whilst they were telling me bluntly. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
By what metric is China the leader in science and engineering? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
Look at Ukraine. FPV drone attacks are terrifying. And neither Ukraine nor Russia have the industrial power to completely saturate the field with this. China is different | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
What about the article is incorrect? Claiming something is propaganda doesn’t make it so. This isn’t an article in mainland China where EVERYTHING is propaganda. Not sure debating is on a level playing field when the Chinese view of the world is so distorted so much by their government. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |

Yep, so America lost that to the USSR back in the day, relied on Russia to supply the ISS after their shuttle program failed and is now being out done by the Chinese space program who just sent a lander to the far side of the moon (or was that India... Not the US at any rate). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-08-06 |
From the BRICS website (https://infobrics.org/page/history-of-brics/):
>In 2009-2016 BRICS countries focused on the following joint priorities. They worked out a common stance on certain regional problems, including the Libyan, Syrian and Afghan problems and the Iranian nuclear programme. They also reached common agreement on financial and economic issues, including World Bank and IMF reforms, measures to ensure that sufficient resources can be mobilized to the IMF to strengthen its anti-crisis potential, the creation of BRICS Interbank Cooperation Mechanism which provides for Extending Credit Facility in Local Currency and the establishment of the BRICS Exchanges Alliance.
Lots of info on there about the sorts of activities and policies they're working on across a wide range of issues. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Thank you! Learned something new.
Seems like a big stretch to call these a 'threat to western hegemony' though. I'm from a major BRICS country and I can tell you no one takes it seriously here | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
I feel dumb about the joke lol
That’s a interesting perspective. I’d have to say I enjoyed this Ted Talk :) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
I mean EV batteries and the landing on the far side of the moon. These are a few examples of innovation and good products. Chins is unique in that I think it can get the best of capitalism whilst still keeping a tight control on the market. I think its honestly time we put our preconceived notions aside and look at the evidence before us. Different systems can work, but they each have their pros and cons | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
I mean, electric Viking and a lot of different ev channels seem to think so. The battery specifically is of a higher quality. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Something isn’t true just because a small youtube channel says so. What about the battery is higher quality? Could you make an actual argument as to why that is? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

Nah, don’t just link me a video that’s only tangentially related to what we were discussing. Make the argument yourself. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Nah can't be bothered. Paste the video into chat gpt and get a summary lmfao. You're acting like both of us are acc educated enough to nitpick through all the details of ev.
Plus the parficulars of EV batteries wasn't even my main point. it's not as if I'm saying China is a good country or anything, I'm just saying that innovation is possible even under different regimes. I can't convince you if ur not even willing to look at the sources I provide. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

A lot of machines can run windows 10, but there is a big hardware jump to go to 11. A lot of people can’t or won’t upgrade hardware | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
I thought I couldn’t run it previously, but turns out I can. Still, I don’t plan on jumping to Windows 11 unless Microsoft cuts the bullshit. I’ll go Linux if I have to. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
You would be surprised to see that many people who don’t game user computers untill they die.

Anyone with a budget to run a quaddro workstation for business data has upgraded long ago.
I'm very aware of dumb legacy apps, it's nearly always some janky custom ERP software made by the bosses cousin 20 years ago, and it can be network isolated.
My closing comment here is this:
the venn diagram between legitimate win7 requirement users, nvidia card users, and devices on the internet is non-existant.
I will bet money 95% of people who need this are lazy gamers using cracked win7 and idiots who are hyper paranoid about win11 ""spyware"" (antivax flat earth types) but are too lazy/stupid to work out how to switch to linux. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |

The actual name is banned in many subreddits. Don't be a chucklefuck. If you put the actual name you will see your messages shadowbanned because it thinks you are putting a derogatory term. In fact lots of the information around the coup that Russia did there is blocked by spam filters just on the country name.

Exactly this. Most people that think LLMs are actually intelligent can't even explain how they work. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-08-06 |
The best AI models I have on my harddrive are already Chinese, they don't need to steal secrets to beat us on this.
We lose if we limit open LLMs. They simply have more technically literate people, and will be able to field more technical writers to produce or curate good training datasets.
The open weight chinese bases are the best at long context, were the best coders till 3 days ago and will be again next month probably, and the best at creative writing by far. Some larger corporate models (larger than 35B) outperform them, but the best stuff I can fit in my memory at home is all built on open chinese base models and has been for most of a year.
Additionally, Chinese written language is more specific than English. This will result in very strong models.
We simply lose the AI race, no amount of compute export limitation will fix this. At best it will delay them just a little bit. I'm ok with that though, I want cheap second hand compute when they get their chip factories cooking. Every other product I touch in a day comes from china, why not graphics cards?
Major AI development here in the US is so focused on future profit, regulation, and censoring open source models they will fail to even notice they already lost by abandoning open source collaboration entirely or releasing models so censored they aren't worth finetuning.
ChatGPT is good, but not good enough to justify a subscription that still has rate limits.
Meta Llama 3 8B is pretty good, but without a flagship 20 to 30 billion parameter release, there is still nothing I can download that can keep up with Yi 34B finetunes for creative writing. 70 billion parameter models are too big for consumer hardware. The French have a few pretty good offerings, but they're slightly behind in prose quality and writing flavor, even with community tuning.
Who knows what chinese propaganda is sneaking into the answers I get from my local bots, but I don't care really. I care about performance and hardware requirements for at home, no internet, off grid use.
If we can't sponsor open source development at a government level here in the US, we will never stand a chance. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-08-06 |

Worried about other countries getting the tech, not at all worried about the ethical side of it or the safety (misinformation, bias, privacy, economic dangers such as job loss/displacement, inequality, deep fakes, lack of transparency, reduction of socialization, no oversight on model manipulation, phishing/scams becoming even more personalized and automated, the rapid increase of resource consumption, lack of regulation and safety measures, liability, etc)? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-08-06 |

So I'm never going to use Adobe again, at least legit copies.
Is there another program I can use that will clean up grainy or mediocre quality pictures and photographs as (or nearly as) easily as I could in Photoshop? Honestly I'd be surprised if there aren't any that do it BETTER, after using new!PS for a few months. But I'm very ootl on that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
yrah... cause Im not using Adobe anyways. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
That's why the only part of the TOS that matters is the one that says they reserve the right to change the terms any time they want, without notification, and there's nothing you can do. TOS don't exist to grant rights, and this isn't a guarantee.
So the company would simply say "oops, our bad". But there will be no fines and no lawsuits because the terms also forfeit your rights to seek damages from this. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |

I can't imagine this will fly in the sensitive research space. Quite apart from Adobe and Microsoft accessing sensitive data, what happens if they're hacked and that data is stolen?
Context: Canada has a [Policy on Sensitive Technology Research and Affiliations of Concern](https://science.gc.ca/site/science/en/safeguarding-your-research/guidelines-and-tools-implement-research-security/sensitive-technology-research-and-affiliations-concern/policy-sensitive-technology-research-and-affiliations-concern) which (in my opinion as a layperson) could be broadened to include instances like this where a company is accessing sensitive data. There's already legislation that prohibits public companies from storing personal data outside of Canada. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |

First of all, every agreement you as a consumer see anywhere is "unilateral". You're not participating in wiritng the agreement. So your scare words are disengenuous.
No change is made without informming you, giving you a chance the read the agreement and chose to agree or not. I really don't see any other way it could possibly work.
We can talk about the content of the agreement all you like but don't make the only possible method of HAVING agreements out to be insideous. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-07-06 |
