My favorite example of this is that China is arguably leading the world in AI research (at least by shitty metrics such as number of papers), yet research from there very rarely shows up on HN.
It feels like any topic on here is skewed by a factor of three towards the west, and a factor of ten towards the US. You could get the impression that 80% of the world population are doing nothing of relevance.
- arc-in-space 4y agoI'd believe that, frequently when looking for information on some obscure topics in AI, I run into papers or blog posts with Chinese authorship.
- Ekaros 4y agoAlso I'm missing all the cool space stuff they could be doing and must be doing. It really is untapped market.
- wildmanx 4y agoThe market is tapped. Just not by the U.S. / western countries.
