China’s Domestic x86 CPU, the Zhaoxin KX-7000, Debuts in an AI PC by MAXHUB, Positioning It as a Viable Alternative to Intel/AMD Options

On the surface, this CPU seems like it's best suited for general desktop and office use, to see it adopted to a PC build product geared for "AI workloads" is interesting. If I'm not mistaken, AI performance is heavily dependent on the GPU rather than on the CPU, so I think that's fine:
In terms of performance, the MAXHUB's AI+ desktop computer is claimed to play 1080P 30fps and 4K 30fps high-bitrate online videos with decent CPU utilization numbers, showing that the KX-7000 CPU acts decently with media workload. Of course, when compared against competitors like Intel or AMD, Zhaoxin is behind, but the key motive here to create an ecosystem that relies entirely on in-house products, and this has apparently happened here.And that's a good thing, lol.

Gavin Newsom tops Kamala Harris in 2028 presidential poll of California Democrats
In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California's Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state's Democrats.
The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).

We can only wish that some people can get what he's trying to convey with his song.
However we had a band here that made a song about climate change 18 years ago and people just sing along without much more action. They also made popular songs about inequalities and social issues. Some of the songs became very popular and were played repeatedly in the media. The band is supposedly a big part of our culture.
But after all those years, it's just that. Songs. They are sad pieces of warning, and people just treat them like anything else; a commodity to be used, and eventually replaced by a newer thing.

chiavina terminifera che non fa più uai fai (Netvip chiavetta WiFi morta a caso)
Poco fa era appena tarda mattina e, come si suol dire, se non bestemmio guarda… la giornata non comincia in maniera ufficiale. A quanto pare, la chiavettina WiFi che in questi ultimi giorni stavo usando temporaneamente sul PC fisso ha deciso di morire per sempre stamattina, o qualcosa del genere, semplicemente dal nulla (e quando mai le mie cose si rompono con cognizione di causa…), quindi eccomi a lamentarmene inutilmente. 😾
È una chiavetta merdosissima che comprai quando assemblai il PC fisso (nell’era del gran Covid!!!), perché mettere una scheda WiFi interna avrebbe significato avere una ricezione terribile (oltre al fatto che, se ricordo bene, avrei dovuto spendere di più; lasciamo stare il fatto che, col senno di poi, a furia della tirchiaggine sono finita per spendere ancora di più per vari prodotti schifosi), mentre la chiavetta potevo portarla in un punto buono usando una prolunga… Fatto sta che è sempre stata merda fumante, relativamente instabile su Windows e completamente instabile su Linux, e quindi alla fine dovetti comprare il bridge Ethernet TP-Link che ancora adesso uso, anche se pure quello a modo suo è terrificante. 😩Beh, in questi giorni stavamo facendo lavori in casa, quindi per un paio di giorni mi sono dovuta spostare col PC fisso in un’altra stanza e, per comodità, ho riesumato quella chiavetta… Che, in realtà, su Windows e a distanza più ravvicinata col router, funzionava pure quasi bene, superando addirittura i 200 mbps in upload e download (che è ben più di quanto il TP-Link sciordiaco fa in camera mia)… pur se ho dovuto sclerarci un quarto d’ora buono, perché (col driver automatico di Windows) per qualche motivo non riusciva a mantenere la connessione con il router configurando la rete normalmente… ma appena ho usato un IP statico al posto del DHCP ha deciso di collaborare… 🥱
Ribadisco che è talmente sgocciolante questo affare che, collegato direttamente alle porte posteriori del PC, dato quanto è minuscolo, prende così tanta interferenza (probabilmente dagli altri dispositivi USB collegati, maremma maiala!) che in tale modo nella stessa stanza farebbe non più di qualche megabit al secondo, e facendo cadere una quantità imbarazzante di pacchetti… Ma comunque, una volta ritrasferitami nella mia stanza l’altro ieri, sul momento non sapevo se poi dovessi spostarmi di nuovo, quindi non ho voluto ricollegarmi subito al TP-Link, mentre ieri mi è passato di mente (nonostante nella mia stanza senza prolunga la chiavetta faccia non più di 20 mbps, maremma cara, ma non dovevo scaricare niente ieri)… e quindi, così si arriva ad oggi. 🙄
Ho acceso il PC prima, e, dopo aver notato di non avere Internet, ho notato che la chiavetta non stava lampeggiando. Non voglio prolungare la miseria più del dovuto a questo punto, quindi, detto in breve: la scollego e ricollego svariate volte, provando tutte le porte libere, inserendola più piano o più veloce, con diversi angoli (visto che si ruppe il pezzo di metallo di sopra dell’USB, quindi ci può pure stare che non faccia subito contatto bene, visto che balla un po’), ma non succede assolutamente niente! Ogni tanto (nemmeno sempre…) esce un messaggio di “dispositivo USB non riconosciuto” di Windows, e basta… e nel frattempo noto che, al tatto, la chiavina diventa sempre caldissima a stare collegata così, nonostante appunto non stia lavorando. 😭
Provo pure qualche altra volta, con in mezzo anche una procorta (una prolunga corta; si, la possiedo, anche se non è USB 3.0), smuovo un po’ la schedina unica minuscola che compone effettivamente l’aggeggio, e niente… se non che ora ogni tanto esce pure un altro messaggio su Windows, “power surge on the USB port“, che semplicemente significa “c’è un cortocircuito”!!! Quindi, ormai, mi sa proprio che è morta oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio… e oh, menomale che lo ha fatto stamattina e non prima. Però certo che ci vuole un coraggio per mettere sul mercato un accessorio così fottutamente fumante (non letteralmente, per fortuna, ci mancava solo che prendesse fuoco…) e chiamarlo “Netvip“… se questo coso è da VIP, allora io sono la dittatrice dell’universo… 🌋

Nvidia earnings beat Wall Street’s sky-high expectations, but the stock is falling because ‘there were no H20 sales to China-based customers’
Nvidia recorded no China sales revenue for H20 chips and reported revenue that narrowly beat Wall Street targets in the second quarter, as the AI chipmaker reported financial results on Wednesday.
Nvidia has been navigating trade restrictions on H20 shipments to China since April. The U.S. government began issuing licenses for approved buyers in China in July, and Nvidia said a few of its China-based customers had received such licenses. But no H20 chip revenue to China was included in its second-quarter revenue, Nvidia said (It noted that some H20 chip inventory was sold outside of China in the second quarter, adding a $180 million benefit to the topline).
Nvidia said it was not including H20 in its financial forecast for the current quarter, though it estimated that $2 billion to $5 billion worth of H20 chips could be shipped to China if “geopolitical” issues were resolved. The company also repeated its call for the U.S. government to allow it to sell its more advanced “Blackwell” generation of products to China.

US state department stops issuing visas for Gaza’s children to get medical care after far-right campaign
The US state department announced on Saturday that it would stop issuing visas to children from Gaza in desperate need of medical care after an online pressure campaign from Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer close to Donald Trump who has described herself as “a proud Islamophobe”."All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” the state department said in a message posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, from which Loomer was banned before it was purchased by Elon Musk.
In a pair of posts on the social network on Friday, Loomer had shared video of badly injured Palestinian children and their family members arriving in Houston and San Francisco this month, along with false claims that their shouts of joy were “jihadi chants” and that they were “doing the HAMAS terror whistle”.
Loomer also falsely claimed that she had “exclusively obtained” the two video clips she shared. One was copied from a medical aid charity’s public Instagram account and the other was from the Houston Chronicle’s YouTube channel.

The crisis is “expasperating”: Long COVID compounds economic hardship in Argentina
cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/51686142
Argentina has no dedicated Long COVID clinics, no disability insurance, and no government recognition, leaving patients to diagnose themselves and search for informal care.Only a couple of Long COVID studies are being conducted in Argentina. One includes over 100 patients and involves analysis of MRI brain scans.
Patients live not only with Long COVID but also the stressful situation of living in a country with high inflation and poverty, while they create their support chat groups to share knowledge, treatments, and information.

Have you tried to fight through the endurance issue? That's my plan. I'm scared shitless of the downward spiral so I hope to get my ass out.
Wife and I took a walk last night, and that's the least I usually do. She couldn't tonight even though she's recovering better than I.
I did that. Do not recommend. I ended up bedridden, because every time I pushed it I would get worse.
I recommend resting and letting your body get better.
Thanks! I have "emphysema light" (doctor's words) and if I sit on my ass too long, well, it's not good. I have to constantly move, and move hard, or I go downhill. Hence the question.
I've improved much since I wrote the question. We're hitting the river tomorrow, see how it goes. Manhandling my 10' boat, battery, trolling motor and other gear is going to be a challenge.
Glad to hear your getting better.
Do read this though.
PEM affects a good third of people with LC. And knowing the signs so you know not to push through it is very important because pushing through it can lead to well. Being like me, bedridden since two years.
I do. I caught it in March 2020, yo-yoed in health for a while, and had some surgeries and a treatable cancer which my doctors suspect were related to Long COVID. I’m pretty well marinated in the info, and am happy to share whatever you want to know.
This page from Yale is a great general orientation, though there’s a lot more LC sufferers would want you to know. This “What to Do When I Have Covid” guide from Clean Air Club will be useful.
The best place I know of on Lemmy for a discussion is !chronicillness@lemmy.world. Mastodon has an active and expansive community of people affected by Long COVID.
Condolences on your illness! I hope you’ll have better luck.

Oliver Thomas withdraws controversial facial recognition ordinance in New Orleans — for now

Oliver Thomas withdraws controversial facial recognition ordinance in New Orleans — for now
BY SARAH RAVITS 31 mins agoNew Orleans City Council member and mayoral candidate Oliver Thomas Aug. 21 quietly withdrew, at least for now, a controversial ordinance granting police the authority to use facial recognition technology to spy on people in public.
The decision has drawn cautious optimism from civil rights groups, though Thomas could bring the ordinance up again as soon as Sept. 11.
If passed, the ordinance would authorize the use of facial recognition technology for real-time surveillance by the New Orleans Police Department or a third-party operator. New Orleans would be the first U.S. city to implement this type of program.
Thomas, who co-sponsored the ordinance with Eugene Green, told Gambit he withdrew it from yesterday’s meeting to allow NOPD “to make edits” on the measure.
**But opponents of the ordinance said there are no changes that would resolve their concerns over civil rights and privacy concerns. **
“There are no edits or modifications that could make this proposal safe. It needs to be taken off the table entirely, forever,” said Rachel Taber, an organizer with Union Migrante, a group that supports immigrants’ rights.
Green and Thomas have argued the ordinance would help NOPD stop crime more efficiently and aid in other investigations, particularly focused on violence, sexual assault and illegal drugs.
But opponents of the bill have sounded the alarm over potential civil rights violations, pointing out that a real-time surveillance system of this caliber could easily be used by law enforcement or third parties to target and monitor marginalized communities including immigrants and people of color — regardless of criminal activity.
It could also track LGBTQ activity and monitor people seeking reproductive health care.
While the ordinance does specifically prohibit the NOPD from targeting immigrants, women seeking reproductive health care and LGBTQ people, those restrictions would almost certainly be trumped by state law requiring NOPD to comply with agencies like the Louisiana State Police and federal law enforcement — which, among other things, are currently targeting immigrants for kidnappings and detention.
Taber also pointed to the already-robust private surveillance all over the city that NOPD and other law enforcement agencies can access, if needed.
“If a crime occurs, as is, they can subpoena evidence from nearby cameras,” she said. “No one needs 24/7 access to all faces and license plates all the time, everywhere, without cause.”

Il Cammino delle Identità in Valtellina : a San Giacomo di Teglio, il Panificio Bresesti
Tutte le volte che i nostri itinerari vagabondi ci hanno portato in Valtellina, non è mai mancata una visita gustosa al Panificio Bresesti di San Giacomo di Teglio.
“Dalla bottega alimentare di nonno Silvio – reduce della campagna di Russia e decorato con la croce al valore – i Bresesti hanno imparato il valore delle tradizioni e l’amore per la cucina tipica della Valtellina. Da oltre quarant’anni il Panificio
Bresesti, aperto da Bruno – figlio di Silvio – lavora con passione, amore e produce, con fatica e dedizione, pane e prodotti tipici del territorio valtellinese, rispettandone le antiche tradizioni.”
Forse sarà per questa storia, che i giornalisti di Borghi d’Europa si sono ricordati del Panificio Bresesti, quando hanno ricominciato il Cammino delle Identità, il
Percorso di informazione che dal 2014 valorizza e fa conoscere le eccellenze della Valtellina nel progetto L’Europa delle scienze e della cultura, Patrocinato dalla
IAI -Iniziativa adriatico ionica,Forum Intergovernativo.
Il 6 e il 7 settembre una delegazione visiterà a Teglio la Mostra a Palazzo BESTA ( Il senso del vino), per poi incontrare alcune aziende della filiera agroalimentare,
I vini di Giorgio Gianatti, i prodotti del Panificio Bresesti; i salumi del Salumificio Testini.
“Un negozio moderno basato su tradizioni antiche. Da noi il pane si produce e si sforna proprio come veniva prodotto e sfornato nelle vecchie contrade telline, mantenendo gusto e croccantezza.
Utilizzando solo materie prime naturali, senza aggiunta di conservanti e additivi chimici, siamo in grado di proporre prodotti genuini e saporiti, che porteranno sulle vostre tavole il vero gusto valtellinese del mangiare bene e in maniera sana.
Pane di segale, dolci, pizzoccheri, prodotti da forno tipici. Panificio Bresesti offre solo prodotti di qualità, nel rispetto della tradizione.”
Da sempre sosteniamo la necessità di una vera e propria ‘carta del pane’, per abbinare in modo corretto i cibi e i vini.
Luca e Simone Bresesti hanno portato idee e hanno saputo valorizzare ulteriormente un prodotto – il pane di segale valtellinese – che già oggi viene consumato per la sua
capacità di regolarizzare l’intestino e migliorare la circolazione.
Il viaggio del gusto di Borghi d’Europa parte dagli inizi di settembre e si svilupperà fino a dicembre 2026, realizzando una intensa campagna d’informazione grazie al Percorso Internazionale I Mulini del gusto e le Vie del Pane.
La rete Borghi d’Europa ha deciso infatti di un creare un percorso dedicato a questi temi, tra le grandi iniziative di informazione del progetto.
Il circuito organizza e promuove dei percorsi per mettere a confronto idee, progetti, capaci di seguire il filo logico della valorizzazione rispettosa degli equilibri sociali culturali e ambientali dei territori di riferimento.
Sono previsti incontri e stages di informazione nei territori,per raccontare a giornalisti e comunicatori le storie dei borghi e delle loro culture.
Ogni ‘tappa’ tocca i luoghi, le storie, i protagonisti della filiera agroalimentare.
Il progetto era stato presentato nell’aprile del 2019 presso la sede del Parlamento Europeo di Milano.
La degustazione di settembre valorizzerà l’abbinamento del Fiocco della Valtellina e della Slinzega con il pane della famiglia Bresesti e i vini di Giorgio Gianatti.
When Genocide Denial Is the Norm
Genocide scholar Martin Shaw argues that ending Israel’s genocide in Gaza and isolating Israel on the international stage must become the cause of every country that claims to represent human values.
While I agree; we've moved past that point unless the US stops Israel; and they will not.
The world needs to unite in arms to invade Israel. We do not have time for even a major BDS movement. Children are starving every night. Without direct action all the world is doing is watching and wagging its fingers.
And at this point I can't tell which "scholar" or politician is only doing that to be able to say they did in the future. They are coming to the correct side just late enough to wag their fingers.

Airdropped Aid Is Crushing Starving People in Gaza

Help for Gaza is now supposed to fall from the sky. Planes from Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates drop parachuted bundles of food and supplies meant to save lives when all other options are lost. They then crash into streets, rooftops, and tents, turning hope into panic.Every airdrop shows the cost of survival here, where daily life is threatened not by just hunger or lack of medicine, but also the very help meant to reach starving people.
This is the new reality of aid delivery in Gaza. As Israel’s siege approaches the two-year mark, on-the-ground access to food and other crucial supplies is mostly controlled by the Israel-backed and U.S.-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, whose aid sites have become shooting grounds where the Israeli army kills hungry civilians. On July 27, Israel announced the start of airdrops for humanitarian aid, promising “safe corridors” and relief from the crushing blockade.
The aid has itself become a weapon in the literal sense: At least 124 people have been struck by falling aid packages since October 2023, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, and 23 of them killed. The Intercept spoke to more than 10 people who were injured by or witnessed injuries from falling aid packages for this story.

Block Elon Musk’s bid to supply UK home energy, Ed Davey urges
Elon Musk’s company, Tesla, should have its application to supply energy to UK homes blocked on national security grounds, Ed Davey has told ministers.The Liberal Democrat leader argued that giving the electric car manufacturer a foothold in the British energy market would be “a gravely concerning move considering Elon Musk’s repeated interference in UK politics”.
Tesla has a clean energy arm and applied in July for a licence to supply power to British homes.
If the licence is granted by the regulator, Ofgem, the US company could be competing with big UK domestic energy suppliers such as British Gas and Octopus as soon as next year.

Back in the Roman republic, rich guys would provide public roads, aqueducts, games, etc. this was to get the plebs to see you as their benefactor, not the state. It wasn’t charity, it was name recognition, it was knowing the lower classes were kissing your ass and would protect you.
Don’t let things end up that way, tell this rich fuck to pay his taxes instead and to fuck off into a volcano already
