I think most people realized that China would catch up eventually, what’s shocking is the sheer speed of it. I thought it would at least take 3-4 years before China broke 5nm barrier, but here we are less than a year later.
China should really be thanking the US for taking the initiative on doing trade protectionists measures for them. All the sanctions end up doing is creating commercial vacuums that are filled by domestic competitors. If China started passing protectionist measures on their end, there would be a huge stink about it, but since US is doing it for them the government doesn’t have to take any heat domestically.
What makes car automation so difficult is the fact that you have to account for human drivers and pedestrians. Flight automation might actually be an easier problem if all the vehicles are autonomous from the start and communicate with each other. You’re also not flying bumper to bumper the way you drive on a road, so you have a much wider margin for collision avoidance.
Sure it’s a different problem, but chances of fatal accidents in cars are already significantly higher than in commercial air travel now. And same argument applies to planes.
LMFAO working to fix it. Sure buddy. Just like you’re working to fix all your migrant concentration camps for kids you’ve got on the border. That’s your western “democracy” in action. Concentration camps for kids. That’s what you’re all about.
Meanwhile, the claim that China is detaining millions of people in Xinjiang is so completely absurd that only an utter imbecile would believe it. Let’s just look at how much space would you actually need to intern one million people.
This is a photo of Rikers Island, New York City’s biggest prison. The actual size of a facility interning ten thousand people.
According to Wikipedia, “The average daily inmate population on the island is about 10,000, although it can hold a maximum of 15,000.” Let’s assume this is a Xinjiang detention camp, holding ten to fifteen thousand people. How many of these would it take to hold one million people?
Let’s do some math:
Rikers Size
Rikers Prisoners
One Million Uyghurs Size
413.2 acres (0.645 square miles)
10,000 to 15,000
43 to 64 square miles
In reality, one million people would probably take more space; all the supposed detention camps we see are much less dense than Rikers.
For comparison, San Francisco is 47 square miles. Amsterdam is 64 square miles. You’d literally need detention camps that total the size of San Francisco or Amsterdam to intern one million Uyghurs. It’d be like looking at a map of California. There’s Los Angeles. There’s San Diego. And look, there’s San Francisco Concentration City with its one million Uyghurs.
I see reading comprehension isn’t one of your strong suites. Keep rereading what I wrote until you comprehend the size these supposed camps would have to be. I love how you just keep embarrassing yourself here without even realizing it. Zero self awareness.
I also love how you think that any building shot from satellite must be a detention facility. Maybe send me a dm sometime, cause I have a nice bridge I could sell you.
Really should take your own advice here, cause you’re drowning in copium bud. Once you accept that you live in a despotic regime that’s a danger to the whole world maybe you can start doing something about it.
