While all the other AI labs are releasing new models weekly or monthly...we have Google here busy renaming their AI products (NotebookLM -> Gemini Notebook, and Gemini CLI -> Antigravity CLI)

For comparison, a human brain has roughly 100 trillion synapses, which are sometimes loosely compared to about 100 trillion AI parameters.

How many parameters do the top closed models use?

They have this, it's essentially ChatGPT Business. And if you use an Amex Plat card, it's basically free (plenty of ChatGPT 50% off links going around, or at least there were a few weeks ago).

This site can’t be reached https://hy.tencent.com/research/hy3 is unreachable.

Why would they want to? China’s entire economic model relies on the US remaining a stable, wealthy consumer base for their industrial output. Physically invading your largest customer is a form of economic suicide.

They don't want to govern California; they want to ensure that the global infrastructure, shipping lanes, and institutions run on Chinese technology and standards. From Beijing's perspective, a kinetic war on the US mainland destroys the exact global economy they are trying to lead.

California already more or less provides 8 weeks of paid parental leave (PFL program).

Anyone deep in the AI realm know which is the gold standard benchmark for coding?

Europe gave us cookie popups on every website, and now... in Europe you get a camera watching you in your own car while driving.

New Teslas are not a UX nightmare... go test drive a Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, GM, etc, then lastly a Tesla. Come back and tell me which car has the best software.

Yup, it's called greed. It's a part of human nature. That's one reason societies create laws and penalties: to discourage harmful behavior and keep that instinct in check.

It's called greed, as you aptly pointed out.

I just checked apple's website and configured them:

Mac Studio: Ships: 16–18 weeks

Mac mini: Ships: 10–12 weeks

Is it open source?

Why are you comparing it to building expensive modern hospitals? Why don't you compare every other tech acquisition to that? because that's not a relevant comparison, and building expensive modern hospitals has nothing to do with the goal of for-profit corporations.

SpaceX has 3 major businesses: Space, Starlink, and AI.

This acquisition helps with the 3rd one.

Japan has plenty of monorails and they work great. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorails_in_Japan

"One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore.

It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets."

Followup: I closed out Claude completely, iterm2 completely. Reopened iterm2, and it appears iterm2 is using about 500MB of memory. So this has nothing to do with Claude Code CLI.

I have iterm2 open right now with Claude in a long session and it's only using 500MB of memory.

Lookup China subreddits and on YouTube. Tons of Americans wish they could just pick up and move to China. Most Americans that visit China for the first time love it. It is pretty awesome. Have you been?

The rapid release cadence and rate of innovation of Anthropic (and OpenAI) is impressive. And obviously it's because these are startups solely dedicated to AI so they can move quickly. Big Tech (like Google) won't be able to keep up with the pace of them (too much bureaucracy and red tape at Google). Classic Innovator's Dilemma. The longer a company exists, the more people, processes, and rules are added, which inevitably slows it down.

Jeff Bezos said this too, Amazon won't last forever. Eventually some startup is going to come and eat its lunch.

U.S. citizens still need to pay taxes on their winnings.

Kalshi and Polymarket require you to provide your SSN.

As Steve Jobs famously told Drew Houston..."you have a feature, not a product."

Jobs was ultimately right in the end.

Because there is PR speak, and then there is reality.

Easier to get a temporary talent visa? Maybe, for some profiles. Easier to get permanent residence? Almost certainly not. The U.S. green card system is backlogged and maddening, but it is still a mass immigration system. China’s green card is closer to an exceptional-status program (it's 100x harder to get a green card in China than a green card in USA).

Also if you really want to immigrate to a country you eventually probably want to become a citizen of said country right? USA has pathways for this (albeit getting harder with this new admin). However in China it's nearly impossible.

So why are Japanese companies like this? Why do they do so many different things? And how do they manage to do so all those different things so well?

Author says: Japanese companies excel in lots of very different domains because it’s inherent in how they’re structured.

My response: No mention of culture? Sure maybe it is because of how they are structured somewhat, but it's also because of their culture. Japanese are masters of their craft. Look at the best pizza place in the world, the best burger maker in the world.. they are not in Italy or America, but in Tokyo.

Japanese take pride in their work and master their craft. A small pizza-shop owner in Tokyo doesn't make great pizza because of how it was structured. It's cultural. Japan takes Western concepts, and applies an obsessive cultural devotion to mastery (Shokunin).

Look at all the foreign-things Japan is now famous for: Japanese Whiskey, Denim, bread making, Japanese curry, etc.

Along with the local Canadian salary it entails?

Andrej Karpathy is from Europe (Slovakia).

Have a phones-free classroom. Problem solved.

For travel? I prefer Poland over Paris.

Poland is an underrated European destination (and I assume most Eastern European former USSR-aligned countries are too). If you haven't been you should definitely visit. I've been to both Paris and Warsaw recently and tbh I prefer Warsaw over Paris. Warsaw is clean (little graffiti, little trash on streets), safe, no homeless, etc and is a relatively high-trust society (another comment in this thread also mentioned that). Police actually enforce laws. The worst I saw was a drunk man on the street (although not violent or anything), and within minutes 4 police officers came to him. Few tourists. Everyone knows English.

Paris: I won't go into the negatives here (like the Africans/gypsies trying to scam you, sell you useless stuff, etc), it was nice overall, a little dirty, but I actually liked Warsaw better.
