with $8B op income.

Similarly, blood pressure increases during running, doctors and cardiologists also recommend to run less, lol?

Wondering if you could give us specifics..

This statement is particularly interesting as it goes against the common sense

could you give some explanation why it is against common sense exactly in your opinion?

That’s why you’re lagging behind in open-source competitions—it’s got nothing to do with politics

there are plenty oss geeks in US, but they don't have access to similar compute, alegelly subsidized by Chinese government.

It is largest customer for now, but they try to boost internal consumption as well as diversify client-base. US is also competitor, so China is interested US to fade at least in competitive areas.

datafusion is llvmm for etl engines, they don't have indexes or transactions for example.

Sure, there is litigation, criminal case, appeals, fines ($500M: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/newsroom/press-releases/hy...). The point is if violation is clear, US corps have a chance to go after Chinese corps.

Here is example: https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3258239/chines...

I believe mechanics is following: US corp sues Chinese, asks for preliminary injunction to stop selling product for example if there is strong evidence some IP for example was stolen etc. Then they litigate, and settle somehow.

I think we are going to direction where AI corps will have stronger lobby compared to IP holders.

There are tons of lawsuites which resulted in banning Chinese companies from doing business in US, those lawsuits totally have consequences.

they didn't pay yet, because court challenged settlement as inadequate.

I doubt the Chinese models operate under similar licensing agreements.

US corps likely pay licenses when afraid to be sued, or have troubles getting that data, otherwise they just take data, which was demonstrated many times. The same apply to Chinese corps, alibaba totally can be sued in US.

Us models didnt pay for licenses too

It is curation process, so when you search you are not overwhelmed by 100 identical answers.

Being stupid in this case is irrational self-(mis)-perception.

Probably they really meant to say you are lazy and shift work on mods.

AI is smart enough to figure out many answers from docs or code prototypes.

Smaller fraction of novel questions are still submitted on SO, github discussion and mailing lists.

If they get subsudized say hardware, it won't be captured in filings.

To be clear, we’ll want to see how this performs against the hold-out set.

they could take open weight model, and check what will be impact from that harness on hold-out

In fact, while I do work on a rust project, I would not have and still would not recommend it as the choice for that particular project.

wondering what type of project is that? I think besides some very embedded projects with very little memory where you need C/assembly, rust is good enough for all kind of projects..

its not representative example of open weight business sustainability.

The same business model that Deepseek is using.

there is a chance their business model is absorbing government funding..

SFT/RL can be done without parent company.

That turned into a $2 billion financing with NVIDIA doing roughly $500 million and was a complete pivot.

I suspect 2B is not enough to boostrap frontier model from the scratch (for both talent and hardware)

Normal/not normal is a matter of opinion.

It sounds like it is normal for majority of political elite as well as voters, since this is not top of political agenda in this country.

It is not normal from my point of view, but I am not sure what can I do about this.

It could be but there are a host of companies going after open weights models: Arcee, Reflection, Llama (TBD on Meta's focus on closed-source versus open-source), etc.

my bet is that Chinese government fund Chinese models way more compared to what those companies receive (except llama, which is outdated but was strong foundation at its time)

They’ve shot citizens and fabricated evidence to cover up their actions in multiple instances.

typical police activity protected by impunity in this country.

its more like: good luck finding clients who don't kill anyone somewhere deep inside their supply chain.

However with SQL/PGQ, the same query ergonomics are coming to traditional databases.

I like how PG19 with PGQ will kill lots of companies and startups.

why are Anthropic rewriting a Javascript runtime from Zig to Rust?

there is a chance they tried..

doesn't care if the application segfault 6 hours later (eg. a prototype game engine), C++ is definitely the superior choice to Rust.

I wouldn't say "definitely", given Rust deps management is way more streamlined.

I found that AI is excellent in narrow tasks(like bootsratpping some typical crud app), but suck in wide scope use-cases: business strategy for go to market, nontrivial product/infra/algorithms, etc, and need to be guided. I feel last part is more interesting than first part.
