    China confirms visa-free travel for UK and Canadian nationals > UK and Canadian nationals will be able to travel to mainland China for up to 30 days without a visa from 17 February.> China's foreign ministry said visa-free entry would be permitted for tourism, business or visits to family and friends, with the policy set to stay in effect initially until 31 December.> It follows Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's official visit to China last month, where he and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed travel rules would be relaxed.> Sir Keir said the agreement would make it easier for businesses to expand to China, though critics say Downing Street's push to reset relations with Beijing overlooks human rights and national security concerns. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c875d3d3x34o #ChinaVisaFree #VisaFreeTravel #ChinaTravel #China #Travel #VisaFree #UK #Canada

    "By comparison, at least, the way the Chinese government speaks about AI is more modest. Yes, China’s economic leadership views AI as a priority and has boldly claimed it seeks to lead the world by 2030. Yet the rhetoric lacks the eschatological tone common in Silicon Valley. Chinese economic planners appear more interested in AI as a tool for industrial processes than as a means of creating a superintelligence that will reach the singularity. The State Council’s 2025 “AI+” initiative is focused entirely on efficiency-enhancing applications rather than intelligence explosions.There is another important difference. China is banking far more heavily on simpler, lower-cost open-source AI models. In the US, most of the leading “frontier” AI models are secret and proprietary, in part as a business model and in part due to the apocryphal fears that the wrong actors could trigger human extinction. The smaller, lower-cost Chinese models may be seeking, in that sense, to be the more nimble 1970s Toyota rivals to the giant American cars produced by General Motors.More importantly, China is hedging its bets by investing heavily in a wide range of other technologies that might reasonably be described as “the future”. In 2024, the country invested an estimated $940bn in clean-energy capex, broadly defined as renewables, electricity grids and energy storage (batteries), dwarfing its AI investments. In these sectors, AI is meant to be a complement — the glue rather than the structure.While China’s overall economy remains weaker than it was in the 2010s, elements of this broader strategy seem to be bearing fruit."https://www.ft.com/content/12581344-6e37-45a0-a9d5-e3d6a9f8d9ba#USA #China #AI #AIHype #AIBubble

    Progress update no.3 (perseverance edition) 💪​Several people suggested that I install #YunoHost on my Raspi5 ON TOP of Debian (thank you @jan and @fmors) so I will be trying that tomorrow morning... when my parents are looking after my little one (who's on a 2 week school holiday).This morning I gave up a little too easily because she was playing nearby and my attention was a little scattered.But excited to try out this method tomorrow. Thank you Jan & Fernando 🙏​The Fediverse has THE BEST tech support 😄​
