Should we believe that intelligence agencies like CIA or FBI doesn't know her/him?

I think if you support Netanyahu, you are not in a position to condemn these atrocities. The problem is that Iranian pro-democracy opposition is demolished by far-right sometimes neo-Nazi monarchists!

I bought the latest Intel MacBook Air and after few months they released M1 MacBook Air. Then they release an update, I did as I should, and it broke my laptop! I lost all my data! They fixed it for me in a couple of weeks without providing me a substitute! And they were arrogant enough to behave like they did a favor to not charge me for the repair! It was 2020! My MacBook Air never became like before, and it died a couple of times in a year, which it recovered by itself. And some months ago it died, and it didn't recover! I lost lots of data I spent thousands of hours and I trusted that I can have them even if my laptop dies. Now, I have no way to recover my data!

We still do not have a standardized way to represent Machine Learning concepts. For example in vision model, I see lots of papers confused about the "skip connections" and "residual connection" and when they concatenate channels they call them "residual connection" while it shows that they haven't understood why we call them "residual" in the first place. In my humble opinion, each conference, and better be a confederation of conferences, work together to provide a glossary, a technical guideline, and also a special machine translation tool, to correct a non-clear-with-lots-of-grammatical-error-English like mine!

In his second term, Donald Trump launched a sweeping overhaul of U.S. economic and political strategy, marked by historic tariff hikes, aggressive fossil fuel expansion, and a dramatic shift toward cryptocurrency deregulation. His executive orders dismantle climate commitments, target federal spending, and centralize power through new institutions like the Department of Government Efficiency. With the appointment of an AI & Crypto Czar and rejection of central bank digital currencies, Trump pushes for private control over digital assets, raising concerns about deregulation and monetary instability. These moves signal a sharp break from past policies, reshaping inter-imperialist relations and global economic dynamics.

abbassix — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 10:44:02 +0000

BYD's leap forward is impressive, comparable to that of Ford Motors after the First World War, when with the Model T, introduced in 1908, it revolutionised the auto industry and ushered in the motorisation of the 20th century. In just five years, from 1920 to 1924, Ford's sales quadrupled from 460,000 to 1.9 million. Tesla Motors made a comparable leap forward in 2020-24, more than tripling its sales from 500,000 to 1.7 million.

New comment by abbassix in "The «People's Communes» and the Development of Capitalism in China (1959)"

abbassix — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 05:33:01 +0000

The «Communes» campaign has posed a fundamental problem for the Marxist interpretation of the development from a semi-feudal economy to a capitalist economy. First of all, we need to grasp clearly that in China, as in every other country with a feudal or semi-feudal economy, the historical problem is that of creating a capitalist economy, since it is impossible to skip a whole stage of economic development. Only when the material bases are created – and the creation of these bases is the task of capitalism, in this case of state capitalism – will Chinese society, and for it the new revolutionary class created by industrialisation, i.e. the proletariat, be mature enough to raise the problem of the socialist management of its economy.

New comment by abbassix in "New brain-spine interface tech in Shanghai helps paralyzed patients walk again [video]"

abbassix — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 21:51:05 +0000

Paralysed man of spinal cord injury, once considered incurable, walked again in Shanghai’s Zhongshan Hospital. The “three in one” brain-spine interface uses electronic implants wirelessly transmit patient’s thoughts to his legs and feet via newly-created “neural bridge” on his spine.

Professor Jia’s team spent nearly three years developing a lightweight AI model to decode brain signals in real time and simulate right electrical stimulation to achieve muscle movement.

This is the first time such a complete system has been achieved worldwide. Early this year, the research officially entered the clinical concept validation phase.

Mathematicians recently proved a central component of the Langlands program, an ambitious effort to develop a “grand unified theory” of mathematics. The monumental proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture totaled more than 800 pages and marked the culmination of 30 years of work by nine mathematicians.
