According to who? China loves picking up the slack that America drops. When America turns it's nose up at slave labor, China exports Xinjiang cotton. When Americans get iffy about manufacturing chemicals and refining rare earths, China does the dirty work at-cost. When Russians need weapons, China crosses the sanctions to deliver them.

My nearest estimation is that China will make some kind of announcement declaring no intention to limit AI exports. A lot of their leverage stems from undermining American control of AI research, which they can continue to escalate by offering no/low guidelines models to foreign customers. America's stance on this is overly politicized, which is a prime opportunity for China to look like the adult in the room (and get paid in the process).

I have decently capable hardware, but stuff like Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 still doesn't compare to agentic editing with a frontier model. Right now, OpenCode's $10/mo "Go" plan is what I'd be looking to try once my year expires.

> it's likely Israel would have continued (at least for some time).

On a skeleton crew, maybe. The sticking point was not research, but manufacturing - Israel would have bankrupted itself buying the jet's supply chain. Hence, I think it is safe to say that the political aspect was a bluff. Israel's only option for financing the jet was a catastrophic break from their allies that they were not willing to commit to.

> There was no "threat", just preparations.

"threat" and "preparation" are not mutually exclusive adjectives.

At some point, America has to call their bluff. Netanyahyu will be satisfied with decreased aid eventually, but he's clearly using America as his proxy against Iran.

  Way to make it about jews you anti-semite. Let me guess you spent the last decade calling Trump a Nazi only to find out he is a Zionist.

I wonder what type of person makes six-number throwaways all day, only to delete their anonymous comments?

The US spent the equivalent of $710 on each Israeli citizen in 2024 alone. What are we paying for, Ghislaine's court fees?

KHTML is tragic because it had willing developers working for the public good. Jack1 and X11 are not tragic, because their developers were already drafting transition plans to depreciate their libraries.

> The power management architecture on this platform is incredibly complex, and there are a lot of moving parts involved in making it all work. There is Power Manager (PMGR), which is responsible for the SoC’s power domains, but there is also the Power Management Processor (PMP), which does… stuff?

> The actual low-level details of how power is managed across the SoC are quite opaque. [...] PMP will not read these reports if it is not booted, and certain power management functionality will not work. We are not sure exactly what it does with this information, but it likely involves controlling Apple Fabric power and clocking, among other things.

> There is obviously still work to be done to reach macOS levels of idle and suspend time

I still do not think that we will get advanced power management equivalent to ACPI within this decade, unless Apple starts documenting stuff. It took Asahi six years to replace cpuidle on M1, we're going to be here for a while.

Which numbers? "enough for 9-10 nuclear weapons" is a stupid figure, you could come up with similar scare quotes for raw uranium ore if you extrapolated the refinement process. It's a dishonest tactic that has been tossed around for decades without much meaning.

The upstream claim that Iran would have ICBMs with nuclear warheads is just not true. Iran does not have any credible ICBM in their inventory, nor a known reentry vehicle, nor a strategy that would enable them to fight anyone besides regional powers like Israel. I did not flag their comments, but this kind of extraordinary "flood the zone" logic is consistent with what HN ends up flagging in the long run.
