It’s really just banking, I can still use the browser for most other things.
I’m sure the Russians are savvy and use VPNs like China. It’s much less simple than just geofencing.

Please read the article. They are talking about an improvement over existing algorithms by using quantum computing.
LLMs and generative AI aren’t going to be any good on this problem. The article is using the older, non-buzzword computer science meaning, which includes algorithms for this exact problem, such as the ones used for a category of difficult problems known as constraint satisfaction problems. These problems were artificial intelligence problems before the term “AI” was turned into a marketing buzzword.
Allocating gates is one problem that traditional computers and algorithms struggle to do quickly, with calculation times increasing disproportionately to the size of the problem.
But, Dr Doetsch is confident that approaches using quantum computing will crush the problem.
“Quantum algorithms will allow optimally assigning gates, and other resources, even in large airports and travel networks. These algorithms will be able to respond to changing external factors with updated optimal solutions in real time,” he says.
This stuff is cool, and has nothing to do with generative AI.
This is optimistic and I hope they succeed, because every time I read an article about nuclear fusion it’s always 5 to 10 years away, and I feel like I’ve been reading articles about nuclear fusion for the better part of 2 decades.

Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that Japanese immigration laws, at least toward high-skilled migrants, are relatively lenient compared to other developed countries, and that the main factor behind its low migrant inflows is because it is a highly unattractive migrant destination compared to other developed countries.
Yet in spite of this, the number of foreign residents in Japan in recent years is very high.
From the article itself:
However, the number of foreign workers in Japan reached a record high of 2,048,675 in 2023. This represents an increase of 225,950 over the past year, and is the first time that the figure has exceeded 2 million.
These foreigners benefit from visa systems introduced in recent years to attract experienced workers or those in need of training. Created in 2019, the status of “specified skilled worker” is accessible to people with skills in one of 12 defined economic sectors, including health, construction and agriculture.
In 2023, the “Highly skilled professional” visa (J-Skip) was created, aimed at researchers or senior executives whose annual salary exceeds 20 million yen (€121,000); as was the “Future creation individual” visa (J-Find), which enables graduates of 104 top universities – including France’s Paris-Saclay and Sorbonne Université – to obtain a long-term visa if they want to start a business or find a job.
This doesn’t sound low skilled to me. Also, the record high number of foreign workers surely means that they are, in fact, increasing immigration?
Edit: it looks like you changed your article. This is the article that was originally linked, and which I am referring to, to prevent reader confusion: https://archive.li/cefT3
I’ve heard this said about Japan on Lemmy more than once. Is there a source for the sentiment?

This is a tough one the bigger the project gets. Might be the toughest one.

I recently started training my back and core, and it has made a huge difference in how I run.
Yes, an IoT device would certainly be a huge headache if it was on a proprietary protocol, I’d avoid that if at all possible. Thankfully, they haven’t made something absolutely indispensable yet.
