China is eating the world

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-27 20:55:49

The thing that surprised me most about traveling to China back in 2019 was how quiet it was. I expected chaos, noise, pollution—all the stuff you associate with a developing country. Instead, I found electric bikes gliding silently through tree-lined streets. We lived there for five months until COVID hit. About a week ago, I went back to visit Yunnan. Walking through the ancient towns another reality hit me: China doesn't need us anymore. These towns were packed with only Chinese tourists, I c

In a new interview with IGN, Koshi Nakanishi, the director of Resident Evil Requiem Evil, and its producer, Masato Kumazawa, sat down to discuss the game‘s key “stalker” enemy—a persistent, giant-sized monster who continuously hounds the player throughout the story. As this lineage includes such franchise darlings as Mr. X, Nemesis, and the ever-popular Lady Dimitrescu, designing a new, iconic monster for the series is no small feat.

China Unveils Plans to Establish a Fully AI-Powered Economy by 2035

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-28 11:15:27

As the western world braces for the "pop" of an enormous AI spending bubble, it seems China is going all-in on the AI hype. Yesterday, the Chinese State Council — the government body responsible for carrying out Chinese Government policy, sort of like the executive branch of the US — released its ten-year plan for AI development. By 2035, it declares, AI will become a "key growth engine for the country's economic development," enabling the People's Republic to "fully enter a new stage of devel

Will AI Replace Human Thinking? The Case for Writing and Coding Manually

news.ycombinator.com Simon Späti 2025-10-28 10:40:58

Learning to Think Again, and the Cost of AI Dependency. There are so many (hype/boring) posts about AI coming out every day. It’s OK to use it, and everyone does it, but still learn your craft, and try to think. Similar to what DHH said: It’s also more fun to be competent in something than constantly waiting for an AI to complete. The probability that AI will make us unhappy is very high IMO. Use it, yes, but not for every task. For discovering, creating a historical overview, or creating di

China Takes a Key Step Toward Its ‘Meltdown-Proof’ Nuclear Reactor

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-28 12:35:51

China’s ambitious plan to dramatically pull back from fossil fuels is perhaps most evident in the explosive growth of its nuclear energy program. The latest news suggests China may be tantalizingly close to bringing self-cooling reactors to practical use—a development with profound safety implications. In a statement earlier this week, the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) announced that it had recently concluded tests for a residual heat removal system for integral fast reactors (IFRs).

Yorgos Lanthimos’ New Film Puts Emma Stone at the Center of an Alien Environmentalist Conspiracy

Director Yorgos Lanthimos has made a habit of collaborating with Emma Stone specifically on dark comedy dramas with light sci-fi themes, such as 2023’s Poor Things and 2024’s Kinds of Kindness. And the trailer for their latest team-up, Bugonia, contains much of the same eclecticism, setting up a paranoia thriller that’s equal parts about environmentalism and extraterrestrials. Bugonia, inspired by Korean director Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 sci-fi film, Save The Green Planet!, follows high-powered CE

Why China Builds Faster Than the Rest of the World

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

China Is Building a Brain-Computer Interface Industry

In a policy document released this month, China has signaled its ambition to become a world leader in brain-computer interfaces, the same technology that Elon Musk’s Neuralink and other US startups are developing.

Because they provide a direct link between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or robotic arm, BCIs have tremendous potential as assistive devices for people with severe
