Yeah, definitely, the intensifying cold war makes me wonder if I’ll ever go back again. Doesn’t feel like tourists will really be allowed back in, in my lifetime, once things start getting really bad.

I wanted to see the great wall while I was studying in Asia.

Bringing your real phone instead of a burner phone into the PRC is just asking for your shit to get stolen. I have never brought my real phone into the PRC.

Not to mention, fiber is cheaper than copper at this point.

Telecoms are just lazy and don’t want to string up new lines.

Ah fair enough, I figured that since the registers are 512 bit, that they’d support 512 bit math.

It does look like you can load/store and do binary operations on 512-bit numbers, at least.

Not much difference between 8x64 and 512 when it comes to integer math, anyways. Add and subtract are completely identical.

Tons of computing is done on x86 these days with 256 bit numbers, and even 512-bit numbers.

There’s plenty of instructions for processing integers and fp numbers from 8 bits to 512 bits with a single instruction and register. There’s been a lot of work in packed math instructions for neural network inference.

Now do the same for Volvos.

And hack their phones so we can see why they want to spy on everyone else’s phones

It was protected by the ECHR in a recent ruling. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/03/european-court-human-rights-confirms-undermining-encryption-violates-fundamental

However, Chat Control 2.0 argues that since the spying is done before the content is encrypted, it’s somehow ok. 🙄

Yeah, more accurate dead reckoning is always useful, but you’ll still need some sort of of ground-based or satellite based navigation system if you’re using this for any system that requires any reasonable amount of accuracy.

Yes it does.

This NATO treaty already lays out the rights of troops and host countries:

There are plenty of provisions in NATO for stationing troops on each others’ territory that don’t require massive, far-reaching agreements. This DCA treaty goes above and beyond NATO standards, to the detriment to Swedish security and rule of law.

I’m pointing out the very real risk that exempting US soldiers from Swedish law has, and pointing out the international crises that the same policy has caused in Japan.

You can’t just call everyone you disagree with a “trollbot”.

The US military protected heinous criminals in their ranks, and refused to hand them over for nearly an entire month. Consider the scale of the crime needed for Sweden to have any legal recourse here. Do you really think Ulf Kristersson is going to risk an international incident over some violent drunk soldier getting into a bar fight? No, that soldier will get arrested, flash his ID, and go home free.

The NATO SOFA treaty is sufficient for giving soldiers access to military bases, and it’s what every other country in NATO has accepted. The US wants special privileges and exemption from Swedish law, and we just gave it to them.

This treaty exempts US soldiers from Swedish law, unless the case is of “special importance”, and the Swedish government explicitly requests the US to drop the exemption. Basically unless the soldier violently kills someone or worse, the Swedish police will have no authority. The legal grey area opened for violent crime is obvious.

Just gonna point out that this treaty now makes this legal in sweden:

If you thought drunk tourists cause too much trouble, just wait for drunk 18 year old soldiers with diplomatic immunity.

Apparently The far-right government already walked back this proposal, only saying that they “should”, but refusing to actually implement it.

Apparently they lied about this whole proposal altogether now. The green party in opposition and various climate lobby groups are complaining that the proposal that the far-right government are presenting doesn’t actually ban bottom fishing at all.
