LBH, Canada has always been real economy loser with respect US trade with ~80b goods / services deficit AFTER discounted energy - cheap crude sales to US to fuel US refinery mismatch. US doesn't have strategic domestic energy self

Annoying, after disruptions last few years, ended up using extension that manually scrolls through timeline to build a daily digest of tweets, which is all I really need. Keep time spend on bird site to a minimum.

$40,000 GPU is like few pennies in sand. Only mildly hyperbolic. But a GPU fresh out of fab is $2000 after ASML, TSMC and inputs get their 50-75% margin, then somehow $40k laundered through US financialization / Nvidia margins. Commodi

This is false equivalence. Direct producer subsidies for PRC EV was <100B, less than US injected into US auto, not much more than Euro auto. The latter just poorly, i.e. pork barrel / jobs programs that does not raise baseline compe

Xiaomi EVs sales growing ~15% YoY, they just likely to miss their wildly ambitious ~33% YoY target. Or they might get close, they're 80% of target for H1, but PRC sells more cars in H2 (no Q1 new years, Q3+Q4 big sales). But it's

IMO bot that important practically - SiC batteries, active cooling, bypass charging etc - if one really cares about sustained performance (gaming etc), PRC has phones segments big on mitigating thermal throttling. Exclude benchmark drama, g

PRC going to get have surplus of semi talent and equipment in a few years that food delivery companies Meituan probably going to starting making chips like they do LLMs. Only 60% joking.

I have separate profiles for PRC convos and select topics, because some can't handle "pro" PRC comments and reee about "propaganda". Hence this account has more PRC talk because easier to silo. Also, how many times.

Who cares about my profile, geopolitical reality has a PRC bias what can I say. I call out Nonsense arguments about PRC, and there's plenty of them. >The argument could be made No, it can't because it discounts the 12/14 l

What about none citizens? Customs kicks you out or throws you into a camp first. E: but seriously, what happens to non citizens. What happens if you bring a burner/wiped phone? I assume digit forensics can confirm it was pre wiped but

I imagine some form of token consensus maxing. Repeat tasks X times concurrently to find agreement or outliers. Millions of token burnt deciding what sock to wear.

Pure cotton uses 50x more water / pesticides and associated damage to water table. Sure it's more transient but we know pesticides is bad, we _think_ microplastics is bad, but only in the vague, it upsets the environment in some s

No, because PCA ruling is lawfare and not international law. PRC is legally fully compliant with her UNCLOS accession obligations.

I think tstill more emissions per shirt, more microplastics, but in terms of water use, more green.

I'm not knocking on consumer choice. I'd rather have 5 high performance synesthetic petchem shirt summoned from fossil than a nice cotton shirt that emits more and sheds more microplastic. More to point out how stupid agriculture

No I'm not gross enough to conflate/equivalate past brutality with present brutality to win ideological points. PRC today is far from brutal while US continues to be. Grandpa is being wife beater doesn't make the grand kid on
