Classical guitar. I bought a digital piano and learned some easy to intermediary pieces, but I have been focusing only on guitar. I made a classical guitar arrangement for the soviet anthem, but I don’t have a set up apropriate to make a nice video. I also compose music for these instruments.

The animal I talked about is called “onça-pintada”. It’s not necessarily black. It’s the third biggest feline, being smaller than the tiger and the lion. It’s the most powerful predator in Amazon rainforest. People often say it’s the most powerful in the Americas, but they are wrong, then. I didn’t know the english words for “onça-pintada” and “jacaré” and just put them in translator.

The jaguar (onça-pintada) should be higher. They are arguably the most powerful predators of the Americas. They can run up to 80 Km/h; they can climb trees; they have jaws strong enough to crush bones; they are proficient swimmers, being able to hunt prey in the water, including alligators; their roar is bone-shivering; they are stunning and iconic; they are important for the ecosystem balance. Note that while the jaguar may be phisically similar to the African leopard, the jaguar is faster and stronger, and a better swimmer.

Note that this is about the association between height and income. It is possible that a confuser variable or set of variables is/are influencing both income and height, thus producing the observed correlation between income and height. In this case, the association would not imply causation. But even if this is just association and not causation, its a significant fact, because then there is some unkown set of factors making taller individuals having higher probabilities of earn more.

Some Bolsonarists in Brazil believe in funny things about Brazilian universities, like students having sex everywhere, people smooking so much weed that there is green smoke in the air (no kidding, a famous Bolsonarist really said there is green smoke in Brazilian universities), students forcing others to use drugs etc. I believe the hidden sources of the Bolsonarist propaganda tried or are trying to reduce the credibility of universities in Brazil, probably because they see the universities as a threat to the far-right and liberal ideologies (they believe Brazilian universities are full of communists (it’s true that there is some amount of communists in the public universities in Brazil, but they are mostly concentrated in a few courses, while there is almost none of them in most courses primarily unrelated to politics)).

China is already first in GDP PPP, which is arguably better than nominal GDP as a measure of living standards and economy size.

Perplexity summary: The article from Bloomberg[1] reports that Huawei’s latest smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro, is powered by a new Kirin 9000s chip that was fabricated in China by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC). This chip is the first to utilize SMIC’s most advanced 7nm technology, which suggests that the Chinese government is making some headway in attempts to build a domestic chip ecosystem. The article also notes that Huawei is reportedly developing its own Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and power management chips. Other sources, such as Swarajya[2], ThinkChina[3], TechHQ[4], and The Verge[5], speculate on how Huawei was able to develop its own chips despite US sanctions. Some sources suggest that Huawei may have used its inventory from 2020, while others speculate that the chips were manufactured by SMIC or even Huawei itself. Chinese benchmarking website AnTuTu has identified the Mate 60 Pro’s CPU as the HiSilicon-designed Kirin 9000s, which supports 5G[6]. Overall, the article and other sources suggest that Huawei’s use of domestically produced chips in the Mate 60 Pro is a significant development in China’s efforts to build a domestic chip ecosystem and circumvent US sanctions.
