I just quoted a definition. Here, I'll quote from your link.

The essence of a siege lies in the encirclement of a defended area and the subsequent isolation of the enemy forces by cutting of their channels of supply and reinforcement with a view of inducing the enemy into submission by means of starvation.

How does this not describe a sanctions regime? Obviously the sanctions on China are minor compared to other sanctioned nations, but look at the sanctions on Iran or Russia or Cuba or the Taliban regime. Encirclement, isolation, cutting channels of supply and reinforcement, and the goal in all those casrs is to induce the enemy into submission. Starvation isn't uncommon.

The sanctions are meant to hurt the enemy.

Warfare in which the defender is trapped in a position (such as a fort or castle) while the attacker bombards and/or barricades them from outside.

It's a barricade erected around a country to block the flow of goods and travel and finance, with the goal of subjecting civilians to economic hardship so they turn on their government. It's a siege, with the goal of creating enough pain within the country to encourage internal sabotage, revolt, and treachery.

Sanctions are warfare.

I guess I care more about workers and fair trade, but that's a fair point. Wired earbuds are just copper whereas wireless use lithium and whatever minerals Bluetooth requires.

They said they’re treating their workers fairly, sourcing from ethical sources, renewable claims, repairability claims, and supporting foss projects (they donated a fp4 to CalyxOS to support development). All of these are amazing, so adding a little headphone jack shouldn’t be that hard in the grand scheme of all this.

lol wtf

All of those things seem vastly more important than a headphone jack!

If the sign matters, why isn't it the largest sign on the dumpster?

I think it's helpful to remember that the model doesn't have a skeleton, its literally skin deep. It doesn't understand hands, it understands pixels. Without an understanding of the actual structure all the AI can do is guess where the pixels go based on other neighboring pixels.
