The major difference is that Harvard graduates are free to go back to whatever countries they come from, whereas these Chinese geniuses are "encouraged" to make the motherland proud. Our k-12 is a disaster right now. Kids on TikTok all day and cheating with LLM. They make fun of nerds and are proud to be ignorant. Trump could've used his amassed power to really make America great again, but no, let's have the WWE woman destroy department of education and build ball rooms.

Comment AI in space (Score 1) 202

"Musk said the least expensive way to do AI computation within two to three years will be in space" Translation: xAI will never make money so I need to fold it in just like twitter, and let investors hold the bag. This is SPAC 2.0. Data center in space cheaper than on earth.. LMFAO. x86 and GPUs used in data center aren't hardened for space. People are so fucking dumb.

PBS doesn't rely directly on government funding much for their content creation. It's Arkansas that relies on gov funding to bring the program over the air to its residents. A portion of that pays for the right to broadcast some of the programs. So maybe PBS loses a few hundred K in royalty. Probably not a huge deal. People that attack PBS have never watched NOVA, or some of the arts and music programming, They're excellent.

Comment Re:Attempting to prevent China from acquiring tech (Score 2) 30

The goal is not to stop them from gaining the tech. The goal is to slow them down and divert their resources. China always catches up once a tech is commoditized. So it's just a matter of time. Giving them unlimited access to top of the line AI hardware will help their advances in areas that US want to dominate. From national security point of view this is the right thing to do given that China is an adversary. Maintaining the lead in critical tech has its advantages. Obviously from the point of view of China this seems unfair and dirty, but it's a dirty game that both sides play.

The most effective way is to throttle the sun somewhere between earth and the sun. The problem is politics. A centralized blocking means that it has to time multiplex based on the requirement of each time zone. Then again, air space doesn't extend into space so the richest country wins.
