Israel does not control the US the US controls Israel.

What a fash-coded name for a think tank. Might as well call it the Center for Securing the Existence of Our People and a Future for White Children.

Abstract

Amid the current U.S.-China technological race, the U.S. has imposed export controls to deny China access to strategic technologies. We document that these measures prompted a broad-based decoupling of U.S. and Chinese supply chains. Once their Chinese customers are subject to export controls, U.S. suppliers are more likely to terminate relations with Chinese customers, including those not targeted by export controls. However, we find no evidence of reshoring or friend-shoring. As a result of these disruptions, affected suppliers have negative abnormal stock returns, wiping out $130 billion in market capitalization, and experience a drop in bank lending, profitability, and employment.

Quote from conclusion

Moreover, the benefits of U.S. export controls, namely denying China access to advanced technology, may be limited as a result of Chinese strategic behavior. Indeed, there is evidence that, following U.S. export controls, China has boosted domestic innovation and self-reliance, and increased purchases from non-U.S. firms that produce similar technology to the U.S.-made ones subject to export controls.

I remember being wowed by Beowulf (which I think was the first high profile 3D movie in the most recent wave), and I also enjoyed Avatar in 3D. Other than those two movies I found that 3D detected detracted from the overall experience and I quickly stopped attending 3D showings.

edit: realized I made a typo three days later…embarrassing

MartSnack - okay, this one is kind of cheating because there’s only one video so far, but if you like obscure and highly technical video game challenges like the SM64 A Button Challenge, it’s one of the best damn videos on the internet right up there with pannenkoek’s classic Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses. It’s satisfying, interesting, and also surprisingly funny and relaxing. I’ve watched it like 7 or 8 times by this point, and I’m gonna watch it again after I submit this comment. Also if you like it def subscribe and hit the bell, he’s been working on a new video for months and has been giving updates in the comments as recently as a few days ago, so hopefully it’ll come out eventually!

Church of Kondo - Repository for remastered video game OSTs (primarily the cartridge era). These aren’t just any old remastered, but the result of countless hours of painstaking research to identify the exact samples used in games, track them down in the highest possible quality, and recreate a “perfect quality” mix. They’ve got reams of spreadsheets detailing all the samples they’ve cataloged.

Retro Game Mechanics Explained - Probably the highest production value you’ll ever see for videos on this topic–combines a deep knowledge of retro game hardware and programming with beautiful visualizations and demos. His video on Pac-Man ghost behavior is pretty representative of how he takes a subject and drills down to the assembly to show you exactly what’s happening with some really cool graphics that show what the code does step by step.
