Fixed it. Thank you so much!

You do, though that also depends on your location relative to datacenters in serviced markets.

In practice—I’m a former Stadia customer—it didn’t matter much even on shooters. I did play Cyberpunk 2077, Doom; Wolfenstein NO and Return to the Savage Planet and it was okay, even multiplayer with friends. To some extent you can predict the world’s and the player behaviour to put latency mitigating measures in place.

Cloud Gaming changes some dynamics in the relation between “publisher” towards their customers: You no longer have to accept the a publisher’s dictate regarding PC requirements, now they need to accomodate a single stronger party that the cloud gaming provider is. You can no longer be just ignored on bugs and crashes, because like on consoles the runtime environment cannot be blamed as fudged or non-standard. Moves the focus from capital (buy…) more to labour (studio needs to rework…).

You don’t own your “Steam library” anyway, to remind everyone.

If any existed, it would merely be a performance meant distract from the truth.

Food intake must be synced with your biorhythm. In other words, unless you work night-shifts, eating breakfast, or rather after waking up is important. (3–4 meals are recommended.)

Else your odds of developing obesity or diabetes are higher.

Never heard ‘kill line’ in the context of gaming. Coming from a sino site it could easily be misunderstood. Maybe there’s a better translation or concept? Like, ‘on last hitpoint?’

If this leaves the sphere of shame, and sheds the narrative of personal failure, it could prove to be catalytic.

I recognise some of the words.

To be clear, I mean to say the original thing were cope and divisive hypocrisy.

It’s happening in other industries and other countries all the time, and is often called “benchmark” or “benchmarking.” If you were a cog in a relevant enterprise at the right position, like in engineering/R&D, you’d sometimes get emails with a dossier like “we have disassembled the new [product of a competitor]… weight of all parts… principle component X utilizes….”

Rarely you will see a 100% copy as result. Patents would prevent that, or what suppliers you have access to, or other considerations such as available self-developed components.

In the auto industry the likes of JATO or CareSoft would be the service providers to source reports from.

I can make everything fast if it doesn’t need to be correct.

Though he has access to some radio equipment people usually don’t have and is systematic in his pursuit to learn at which frequency they communicate, he otherwise lacks fundamental knowledge of the field. Since he gives himself access to a storage facility it’s not necessarily his own. (Another inconsistency regarding his respect for property.) Also, his office (I presume it’s his) is not rigged the way. (He is no car mechanic either.)

And, first thing someone with some background in medicine and related trades has (or adventure sports practicioner, or nurse…) when facing 20 day+ treck through dense forest is, you’ll be needing at his body composition 20× 2200 kcal in food minimum = about 15–30kg of solid proviant alone without foraging or hunting. Yet he’s embarking with a 15-20 ℓ backpack. So, neither a soldier, nor game warden, nor farmer.

He’s disinfecting his wounds with absolutely the wrong means (don’t do that!), treats it incorrectly (again, don’t imitate), which rules out he were a trained nurse or medic.

Mystery to me where “that look in his eyes” were coming from, unless maybe mild starvation or dehydration.

Express appreciation for your significant other by a diamond ring—that so needs a counter-narrative!

I realize this is about a token to be admired and shown off to presumed peers, but awfully materialistic even if it not were for the significant chance it supported misery and human rights violations elsewhere. Though I am afraid a remark to that extent would not be enough to sour the mood sufficiently to abolish that “tradition.”

This is a video by Inside China Business about “remote sensing,” i. e. geodata collected by satellites in particular. China is launching their own assets into space and were publishing more research while U.S. numbers in particular are declining.

TLDR (reordered):

“The aim is for China to eventually be able to make advanced chips on machines that are entirely China-made. China wants the United States 100% kicked out of its supply chains.” — An individual who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity […] Scientists in a top-secret Chinese facility “have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent,” With the help of engineers recruited from ASML […] Chinese scientists reportedly “reverse engineered” the firm’s extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, or EUVs.

The Manhattan Project was seen as true race to something novel that introduced a (disruptive) inflection point, presented a clear liminal state towards new Nash Equilibria. This now is a feat, but far from the referenced tale: Nobody will “win” a “war” over it.

“Specialized equipment used to manufacture the semiconductor chips for weapons of war, smartphones, and, crucially, AI technology” is not needed for the latter, and indeed smaller node sizes are used in most of it. 5nm or whatever they are supposedly at is not crucial for “AI technology.”

The narrative that’s sprinkled it, engineers for ASML were the saviours, sounds depressoid and belittling of the competence other enterprises and nations can muster. Same with “the U.S. has long leveraged China’s chip-making constraints to maintain technological dominance”—maybe China had to outsource chip production, but it’s a building-block down in the stack. Huawei, DJI, and others show the U.S. is struggling to remain competitive.
