@AngelicaOung There is a meaningful difference between Sun-era KMT and Chiang-era KMT ideology, and modern-day chinese ideology only resembles the former. Whatever ideals Chiang believed in, he clearly wasn't able to bring much of it into existence.

“The deeper (more truthful) level of cope is recognizing that the modern day CCP is closer to the KMT in terms of ideology, so Chiang wins either way” I wouldn’t put it that way. I would say it’s more like convergent evolution much like the crab form evolved independently multiple times. It’s not exactly Chiang or Mao’s. It is just Chinese modern technocracy.

One level of cope is believing that Taiwan has a snowball’s chance in hell of resisting reunification The deeper (more truthful) level of cope is recognizing that the modern day CCP is closer to the KMT in terms of ideology, so Chiang wins either way

@teortaxesTex My conspiracy is that they hire the least self-respecting human cockroaches (j33ts from the slums of kolkata or bangalore) to pick whichever looked better to them, and they all pick the ones they kept seeing on LinkedIn et al.

@StevenGlinert @teortaxesTex this is all downstream of gen z memes. epstein war has been a meme since before the war started. you've become unc i'm afraid.

@teortaxesTex The idea that Jeffrey Epstein is directing this war from beyond the grave is very much a Chinese creation as well. A solid 70% of this genre I see in my feed is from Chinese accounts.

I both dislike Jeffrey Epstein and am lukewarm on Israel but they have no connection. The connection is a mostly Chinese creation, but it is rapidly becoming accepted fact on the left and it is a pure antisemitic canard.
Michael Tracey@mtracey

Victor Gao, prominent Chinese political and media figure, says we have to get to the bottom of Israel's role in dictating US troop movements, declares it's "high time to expunge the evil as represented by Jeffrey Epstein," intimates that China is in possession "Epstein Files"

@teortaxesTex Yeah we love our land acknowledgements, still don't give Indian reserves any water or electricity though. Wokest country in the world in all the wrong ways.

hilarious organization. One of their objectives is opposing BDS. reminds me of that time Canada condemned itself for the genocide of the indigenous peoples, de facto admitting to not be a legitimate state, but somehow didn't impose sanctions (self-flagellation?) on the criminal

To our Jewish community: This is what’s happening in the West Bank right now. A Palestinian man describes a brutal sexual assault by Israeli settlers amid a wider pattern of escalating terror and impunity allowed by the state. We have to see Palestinians’ humanity – and the reality of their abuse at the hands of other Jews – and ask what kind of country Israel is becoming. Then demand a different path.

@notXiangyu Personally I think this guy is just a schizo, possibly being used without his knowledge. He is completely consumed by delusions of grandeur with the whole 'predictive history' thing, and he also had a pretty public mental episode a couple months ago related to abusing his kids.

@notXiangyu Whether or not he is a fed, he's definitely completely insane and not at all aligned with chinese interests and the fact that people like him are/were involved in corrupting chinese students at elite institutions is one of the biggest issues in china.

They've made Gigapress into another hill-climbing issue
Luca Greco@lucagrecoita

Dongfeng's 16,000-ton Gigacasting machine just entered production - the largest die casting machine ever built 🏭 It is now producing battery trays. For scale: before 2018, a "large" die casting machine was 4,000 tons. Tesla raised the bar to 6,000 tons for the Model Y in 2020. Then 9,000 tons for the Cybertruck. Now Dongfeng is producing at 16,000 tons. Four times the pre-Gigacasting standard. At this tonnage, Dongfeng can cast integrated chassis and battery tray structures in a single shot - components that require multiple machines and assembly steps at any other OEM. The evolution in 7 years: -> Pre-2018: 4,000T (industry ceiling) -> 2020: 6,000T (Tesla Model Y) -> 2023: 9,000T (Tesla Cybertruck) -> 2026: 16,000T (Dongfeng, in production) No Western machine is operating above 9,000 tons today. March 25-28th I will be in Wuhan, China where I will see this 16,000 T machine If you want to follow my trip, foIIow me on Instagram, I’ll post stories of the factory and event instagram.com/lucagrecoita/

@Toboinetsu @opinali Upscaling and framegen are fundamentally easier problems than what this is trying to achieve. Both are within the interpolation regime, which small models are already very good at. And they are well motivated by information theory. Good realtime image gen is still pretty far off.

This is similar to how DLSS started. Early versions had artifacts like shimmering, ghosting, blur, and missing detail, but it improved over time as the models got better. This is clearly a tech demo stage, so it’s expected to improve the same way. Like ray tracing and path tracing, it changes how the final image looks compared to the original artistic intent, and it can be toggled on or off. It's considered eye candy. DLSS 5 is basically the next step with neural rendering, using more advanced AI.

Daniel got important clarifications from NVIDIA. TLDR: the "DLSS5 skeptical" were right about *everything*. 1⃣ It's a 2D AI Filter. Input is only color buffer & motion vectors. The model doesn't see geometry, lights, PBR properties, normals, anything🧵 youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s

@male_leo_xxvi @IntractableLion BAO is post-inflation, you might be mixing this up with CMB anisotropies. But yeah Brian Cox is specifically referencing primordial density fluctuations which are understood to be responsible for filament structure via inflation

"It's because of quantum mechanics" is one of those non-answers that sounds good to laymen without informing, drives me nuts. The real answer is that the mathematics of space filling curves are universal regardless of scale, from bones to galactic superstructures to cabbages

Brian Cox@ProfBrianCox

This was a very good question from Ryan - why does the Universe on the largest scales resemble the Universe on the smallest scales? The answer, for the case of the distribution of galaxies on the sky, is that the pattern we see has its origin in quantum mechanical fluctuations during inflation - before the hot big bang (at least according to inflationary cosmology, which is the most widely accepted model at present). Hail Mary is a very good film by the way :-)

@BrodieOnLinux Its the old diffusion issue where the lighting contour is inconsistent, making the facial geometry look weirdly smooth and convex.

I didn't even consider DS2 but put side by side you can immediately see that something is just off about Grace, it's not like early AI, it's a much more subtle uncanny valley issue. Something about her skin just looks plasticity, the light doesn't scatter on her skin correctly

@synaesthesiajp light transport is a solved problem. i would support ai world model use during dev, which gives all the productivity benefits without all these diffusion pitfalls. using diffusion for light transport is just not the way to go.

@synaesthesiajp adding random light sources in isn't "improvement", it's just hallucination. if you wanted more light sources you should just add them.

All you guys roasting DLSS 5 like it doesn’t look better/is detracting from art direction are absolutely insane. The lighting and shading improvements are bonkers. If that was shown as a next-gen hardware reveal and not “AI” you guys would be going nuts like the Watch Dogs demo.

@F22_Raptor_MLU @Alfa_Particle XDS doesn't have airbrakes, although it has all moving wingtips with similar function. In theory, large deflections could increase signature, but with how big the moment arm is I don't know if this would be an issue 🫤
