The founder of SMIC(Zhang Rujing) was a manager from TSMC. He created SMIC not for money but for patriotism because he see himself as Chinese even he was from Taiwan. You can do some research on this guy, especially try to find some Chinese sources with google translation.
The western media has a narrative with many real evidence to support the narrative so most western people take it for granted. But the reality is more complicated. For many engineer money is an important factor for sure but maybe not all.
The impacts are different sector by sector. Those benefit the most are the small EDA software companies that barely survive before sanctions due to the huge technology gaps behind the large EDA companies like Synopsys. Now they have tones of new customers don't want to take risk of service interruption due to sanction.
There exists such numbers/information circulated mainly inside Chinese (language) media/social media in form of "screenshot" but no links. Screenshot as a way of hiding source is a common format for this type of information because the links will disclose the media that spread the information. Then normal (Chinese) audience will know the credibility of the information. Give you an example, "epoch times" is a common source of such type of information. The nature of the media is well-known to Chinese audience.
The real equivalence to US defense budget in term of size is actually the infrastructure construction budget. While both budgets boost the economy , infrastructure budget improves the life of local people. Now as the most cities in coast areas run out of project to build, the over capacity cultivated in early years is poured to other directions: rural areas, undeveloped provinces, and even overseas especially Africa and Latin America. It's amazing that China changes very fast year by year as I visited some rural areas.
Ionically this behavior of infrastructure building sounds like Chinese MAGA to me: mind our own business, focus on improve ourselves instead of spread values to other countries.
One of the photo shows his highly concentration. I have a hypothesis that many world class masters have talent to get into "Flow State". Juggling is one of the activity that associate with the state.
Another example is DHH who created RoR eventually became professional sport car racer.
It's well know that in sports area, many top players have the talent. My guess is it's also applicable on "mind sports".
I’ve watched vide with guy that supposedly has 200IQ and in his view IQ is ability to focus on small on small set of things but many high IQ ppl can’t „refocus” it easily and aren’t doing well in life.
A 200 IQ is not possible at current population levels.
It’s a statistical measure comparing the test taker against the average, much like percentiles.
At a certain IQ score, somewhere in the 170’s I think, the expected number of individuals with that IQ is about 1.
If we had absolute measures of intelligence (that would be a breakthrough for the ages), then we could say “A is twice as smart as B” and award A twice the points of B. In such a system, the sky is the limit for the number of points.
EDIT: If/when we build a human-level AI, perhaps we could use the number of transistors / artificial neurons involved as a proxy for an absolute measure of how difficult it is to answer some problems. This would be imperfect but better than nothing.
Don't forget you also have to divide by two (so, 1 in 24 billion) if you only want to consider the upper end of the range, since that number is essentially "fraction of the population that doesn't fall within mean +/- 6.5 stdev".
That sounds wrong. Perhaps you're confusing frequency with likelihood?
IQ is standardised so that population scores on a standard test have a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. It's possible to obtain this with as fewer than 100 people, distributed as:
* One "genius" who scores 200
* One "dumbass" who scores 0
* 87 "everyman" who score 100.
The mean here is clearly 100, and the variance is sqrt(20000/89) = 14.99.
Of course this is very contrived and doesn't look much like a Bell curve in the first place. But with say a million people it wouldn't take much to come up with a more realistic looking example.
Matter of perspective; one in the 100~150 billion sapiens (or more) that have gone before and the rates go up. It's also possible rates are underestimated, as we have only tested a relatively small sample compared to N=all
If we test every living human, we can figure out who is the very smartest one. That person has a 1-in-<current_pop> intelligence, from which we can calculate their IQ. That IQ is nowhere near 200.
It would be handy to have standardized test answers from every human ever, but sadly most are dead as you point out.
A difference in 1 IQ point in the 100-101 range might be a difference in absolute problem-solving ability of x units, while than the difference between 170-171 is y units.

Wouldn't that be roughly equivalent to equating brain size/volume to intelligence? I know there's a decent correlation between intelligence and head-size, but it's not that consistent. Some brains just work better for their size.
Intelligence is such a multi-faceted thing that is seems ridiculous to try to reduce it to a single measure and I am highly suspicious of any that tries to do so.
When the government needs money (to support Ukrain, Isreal , just a couple of examples), it will collect money from everybody by making money worth less
BTW, I also found my Vit D absorption efficiency is not good due to gene. The blood test corroborated the DNA report. So I supplement with 10K to raise the Vit D level.
It's very important to supplement with Vit K2 combined with mega dose Vit D. Otherwise there's risk.
Both this site and Promethease helped me make some lifestyle choices that have paid off quite well. It's possible the life changes I made would help anyone, but having some guidance was definitely valuable - specifically around increased risk of T2 diabetes and exercise types that would help me.
Not the op but I read some article saying that it it is caused by the dietary product from corn fed cow as opposed to the traditional dietary product. Supplements with Vit K2 is an easy fix.
