Not to mention GPU performance, which has also steadily improved. The A20 Pro has about the same GPU performance as an M1 Pro, according to the Metal GPU benchmark. Very impressive.

Would be great if either party cared about issues which affect ordinary Americans. But they're extraordinarily alienated from the population.

It's also part of the US national policy to prefer fossil fuels and oil. The US has become the world's largest petrostate.

The phone I bought from China eats Apple hardware for breakfast. It's got IP69 protection, only 7mm thick, a massive battery that charges incredibly quickly (4800mah). It's basically like an iPhone air but it only cost me about $5

Fascism is literally the union of corporations and the state. So why would a CEO stand up against it? Only the people will stand up against fascism, in a mass movement for freedom and democracy. It's not about their race. Plenty of Asi

Terrorism has to include violence, by my definition at least. It's in the name. Terrifying people into compliance. Well that isn't the case here.

IMO there is overinvestment in compute and this will turn out to be a bubble. But all of the money was anyway just lying around doing nothing. An enormous amount of capital has been building since the 80's thanks to corporate profits.

People think immigrants come to just take. When they can contribute to the economy.

There's no reason why we should worship borders, or the state.

Xiaomi and other Chinese manufacturers are ahead of Samsung, Apple etc. They have superior cameras, battery technology and the best, latest SOC's.

It's very important. Every time you launch an app or open a file it's critical for performance. Also when memory runs out and the OS swaps to disk it makes a huge difference.

Incredible website. Really one of the dreams of the internet realised, the ability to access all knowledge at your fingertips.

At the same time hundreds of thousands of children die annually from diseases which would cost pennies to treat. From starvation. The world is still a horrible place for many people, and there's no real reason why it has to be that way

They were a part of computer graphics for a long time before that, 2D and 3D.

It's quite striking to note how media coverage of climate change and pollution have gone down so much. I remember in the 90's it was very much in the popular mileu. What's more we are living through an actual green revolution

Einstein did a lot, he not only published the special and general theories of relativity, he also contributed to quantum physics and was the first to deduce the size of an atom using statistical arguments, essentially proving the existence

One measure of democracy is how much say you have in issues which affect you, the running of your neighborhood, your government etc. If you look at decision making at high levels, the general population usually gets ignored. Instead, powerf

Remember that Chatgpt and other LLM's don't think. They just return the most likely next word based on a statistical model.

I think it will be like the 90's collapse but bigger. It must be noted that the financial markets have been awash in cash for some time since companies have been making huge profits since the 90's. So the money that will be lost w

It was the greatest war in history, and made the Western front look small by comparison. 26 million people killed. The Soviet Union fought the Wehrmacht alone from June 1941 until July 1943. They made by far the largest contribution in defe

I'm glad Iran is teaching the US and Israel a lesson. Their aggression and attacks have gone unchecked for far too long.
