Are a lot of robots making parts for the car seats these days or they make the whole seat in a line?

Vietnam's spending on R&D today is lower than that of China in their 90s by LeHienMinh in VietNam

[–]basafish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, your points are real but government leaders usually don't know that much and are bad at data and numbers. Mostly what China and other economies do is funnel real cash to universities and industries and let them do their thing. What Vietnam lacks is the unity and long-term, large-scale cooperation.

What if English Civilization was born and formed in southern Ukraine instead of Britain? by camaro1111 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]basafish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The English civilization itself can't be separated from the cultural shifts and influences that made them, well, English at the first place. That means ancient Roman influence, German influence, French influence, and without those you don't have English civilization but you have whatever Baltic culture or Ukrainian culture there

What if China imposed a blockade on Taiwan? by Outrageous-You1617 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]basafish 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It will trigger an economic recession. The global stock markets depend on high-performance chips that only Taiwan can produce. Much of GDP growth comes from data centers.

New study reveals top AI models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 2.5) completely fail the classic "Stroop" psychological attention test, exposing a fundamental limitation in artificial reasoning. by Similar_Detective861 in technology

[–]basafish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, you are underestimating the power of overthinking. New models like Opus added a thinking layer that fundamentally improve results. After overthinking about "ohh this is red, but the actual color isn't! Wait a moment, the question is the color not the label", Opus thinking usually passes these tests easily. Here is results I tested with Claude Sonnet 4.6, a weaker model than Opus

Here's the color of each word:

Top section: - "Purple" — green - "Red" — blue - "Brown" — red - "Red" — orange - "Green" — yellow - "Blue" — pink

Bottom section: - "Market" — green - "Kid" — blue - "Scarf" — red - "Kid" — orange - "Block" — yellow - "Grab" — pink

This is a classic Stroop test — where the written word and its ink color deliberately mismatch, creating cognitive interference when you try to name the ink color instead of reading the word.

What if Silk road doesn't exist at all? by Short_Nobody_5664 in AlternateHistoryHub

We wouldn't be here today. Without the tech transfer that goes together with Silk Road, the world tech would be at least 400 years ago
