A Chinese research team has achieved a potential breakthrough in chipmaking, developing a method that reduces lithography defects by up to 99%.
Using cryo-electron tomography, they pinpointed the sources of manufacturing flaws. The solution is compatible with existing production lines for 12-inch wafers, promising significant cost savings for the global semiconductor industry.

Half-good new Danish Chat Control proposal
Denmark, currently presiding over the EU Council, proposes a major change to the much-criticised EU chat control proposal to search all private chats for suspicious content, even at the cost of destroying secure end-to-end encryption: Instead of mandating the general monitoring of private chats (“detection orders”), the searches would remain voluntary for providers to implement or not, as is the status quo. The presidency circulated a discussion paper with EU country representatives today, aiming to gather countries’ views on the updated (softened) proposal. The previous Chat Control proposal had even lost the support of Denmark’s own government.
“The new approach is a triumph for the digital freedom movement and a major leap forward when it comes to saving our fundamental right to confidentiality of our digital correspondence”, comments Patrick Breyer (Pirate Party), a former Member of the European Parliament and digital freedom fighter. “It would protect secure encryption and thus keep our smartphones safe. However, three fundamental problems remain unsolved:
1) Mass surveillance: Even where voluntarily implemented by communications service providers such as currently Meta, Microsoft or Google, chat control is still totally untargeted and results in indiscriminate mass surveillance of all private messages on these services. According to the EU Commission, about 75% of the millions of private chats, photos and videos leaked every year by the industry’s unreliable chat control algorithms are not criminally relevant and place our intimate communication in unsafe hands where it doesn’t belong. A former judge of the European Court of Justice, Ninon Colneric (p. 34-35), and the European Data Protection Supervisor (par. 11) have warned that this indiscriminate monitoring violates fundamental rights even when implemented at providers’ discretion, and a lawsuit against the practice is already pending in Germany.
The European Parliament proposes a different approach: allowing for court orders mandating the targeted scanning of communications, limited to persons or groups connected to child sexual abuse. The Danish proposal lacks this targeting of suspects.
2) Digital house arrest: According to Article 6, users under 16 would no longer be able to install commonplace apps from app stores to “protect them from grooming”, including messenger apps such as WhatsApp, Snapchat, Telegram or Twitter, social media apps such as Instagram, TikTok or Facebook, games such as FIFA, Minecraft, GTA, Call of Duty, and Roblox, dating apps, video conferencing apps such as Zoom, Skype, and FaceTime. This minimum age would be easy to circumvent and would disempower as well as isolate teens instead of making them stronger.
3) Anonymous communications ban: According to Article 4 (3), users would no longer be able to set up anonymous e-mail or messenger accounts or chat anonymously as they would need to present an ID or their face, making them identifiable and risking data leaks. This would inhibit, for instance, sensitive chats related to sexuality, anonymous media communications with sources (e.g. whistleblowers), and political activity.
All things considered, the new Danish proposal represents major progress in terms of keeping us safe online, but it requires substantially more work. However, the proposal likely already goes too far already for the hardliner majority of EU governments and the EU Commission, whose positions are so extreme that they will rather let down victims altogether than accept a proportionate, court-proof and politically viable approach.”

好难回答的有趣问题，我感觉我都能猜到是谁提的wwww
不过要我讲清楚我的看法还挺难的，尤其是其实在我对两者都还没有搞得特别清楚的前提下。我最早对联邦宇宙 vs 蓝天的理解来自我这里提到的这篇文章 hub.moon.moe/@s/11077298434878… （居然已经两年过去了呀……）光是看这里面的对比，会觉得 ActivityPub 的设计有很多难以解决的历史遗留问题，不知道该不该说是设计之初就没想清楚，还是因为以 Mastodon 为代表的“成熟”平台定义了一些习惯法则。ATProto 直接从头试图解决这些问题，光是这样想的话给我的感觉类似于 C# 相对于 Java 的感觉（？）
（如果我理解错了请指正）ATProto 在设计上似乎有很多优势，尤其是我觉得它对于内容发现做了设计，还可以自定义 feeds 的算法，这些对于“社交网络”来说其实是有点必要的。而且它本质上也是为了更好的社交网络而设计出来的，我相信作者们都是带着善意在进行这样的项目的。
不过还是……现在 ATProto 连一个完全独立于 Bluesky 的项目都没有吧？想自己像长毛象实例一样搭建一个站点估计会麻烦得一塌糊涂。顶多能做一个 PDS 但是跟一个完整的社交网络节点差别太大了。不过 Bluesky 用户也许还是蛮多的？
相比之下 Fediverse 其实发展了很多年了人气还是比较一般。但是说实话我已经比较满意了，每天上象也都挺开心的。
我自己有一些脑洞项目用的是 ActivityPub。可以用来参考的现成代码比起 ATProto 肯定是多多了，但说实话也都并没有想象中那么成熟。不知道为什么，可能就还是因为这个领域没有那么多人来关注？也有可能我主要参考的 Mastodon 和 Misskey 的代码质量就是太烂了（其实这两年越来越好了，毕竟都是老项目了也不能要求那么高。。Lemmy 好像就还蛮好的我个人觉得）总之 ActivityPub 就是蛮难用的。比如说 JSON-LD 真的是个有点奇怪的选择，给通信增加了很不必要的复杂度。好多软件比如 Mastodon 都给标准加了一些自己的东西，这种感觉其实很糟糕……有时候会想“既然都已经加入 W3C 标准了，如果大家都能按照标准来就好了”，但很明显标准是满足不了很多需求的，只能希望标准变得越来越完善吧……然后又回到之前那个问题，如果不像 ATProto 一样推倒重来可能很难完善到哪里去。这么说又有点像是大家都讨厌 Python 又不得不用它的感觉（）好吧除了我以为还有谁讨厌 Python 呢其实
我也不知道，毕竟我目前也并没有积极参与任何 ActivityPub 的项目。每次想稍微关注一下都感觉有好多信息看不过来，可能还是我太菜了没法很好调整自己的思考……（你看这条嘟文里也是东扯西扯了一堆。。（无所谓啦

In a farce of transatlantic subservience, the Netherlands booted a Chinese CEO via a 1952 Cold War law, bowing to US pressure over dishwasher chips. Europe’s “independence” peaked when it traded industrial autonomy for American nodding, triggering Chinese retaliation and European carmakers’ meltdowns. All while leaders hailed the chaos as strategic alignment. If this is sovereignty, no wonder Europe’s a punchline.

Or they blame the Covid lockdowns, or the woke virus in the schools, or any number of things other than the miserable, bleak future kids can plainly see before them.
And as a teacher, it's being turned on us, with nearly all professional development over the last 3 years focused on things we can do differently, new things they want us to try, more work without additional pay, in order to solve the teen mental health epidemic.
To be fair, I think it's fantastic that some school districts are trying to address this problem, get staff to work from a more trauma-informed perspective, as it can make school more empathetic and less punitive; dig deeper to find the actual causes for tardiness and truancy and provide supports, when possible, rather than assume it's just bad behavior, requiring punishment; because it gets staff to listen more to their students and, hopefully, be less autocratic in their classrooms.
But like most educational reforms, they completely ignore the elephant in the room, the increasing poverty, decreasing access to healthcare, increasing costs of college, the existential threat of nuclear war and climate collapse--things that persist and grow worse nationally, globally, regardless of how much extra work they squeeze out of us at school.

two core beliefs I still have:
- death is not a friend but an enemy and someday with everything in me I hope to see them conquered
- until we destroy capitalism and tear down its power structures and build a better world such goals are at best pointlessly stupid and at worst actively damaging
You will never convince me that death is cool and good, I'm sorry, but no part of me will ever truly believe that
but I'm also not stupid. I know that if we discovered some magical way to make people immortal tomorrow it would be bought and sold by the richest people on earth to keep us all in chains

I am re-reading #BengaliCooking by #ChitritaBanerji. It is a great read and great insight into the different food sub-cultures of the area too. I love that it addresses some of those sub-cultures on the second page, and also talks about mashed potato enlivened with mustard oil, green or red chillies, raw onions and salt. I am totally making that today.

Apparently Appleseeds is the victim of private equity.

China transformed from 1980s food scarcity to today's overwhelming abundance through its Vegetable Basket Program. A combination of mayors being personally responsible for food supply, grassroots greenhouse innovations enabling year-round growth, and a "Green Channel" policy creates a massive logistics network. The result is incredibly cheap produce at a staggering scale.
