The zeitgeist is changing - public opinion is turning China friendly - Trump probably has a lot more to do with it than China itself.

I am pretty sure it is a consequence of consumer preference. I can see it from my own behaviour - I am a power user of all things computing and it has been decades since I upgraded a harddisk.

Macs today are not designed to be easily repairably but instead to be lighter and otherwise better integrated - I believe that is consequence of consumer preferences and not shady business practices. As for the services - it is a bit off to

I don't think there is a single thing you can point to. But overall Apple's hardware/software is highly optimized, closely knit, and each component is in general the best the industry has to offer. It is sold cheap as they ma

Exactly why is that? Surely llms have use beyond pure destruction (unlike a nuclear weapon).

Great that the China hawks in Washington and the communists in Beijing now agree on making US AI compute more expensive for Chinese companies.

This is a great model for software development - probably the best of the freely available ones.

Two things can happen at the same time: Genuine technological progress and the “hype machine” going into absolute overdrive. The problem with the hype machine is that it provokes an opposite reaction and the noise from it buries any reasona

This particular test is heralded as some sort of breakthrough and the companies in this field are raising billions of dollars from investors and paying their star employees tens of millions. The economic incentives to tweak, tune, or cheat

You can really only do a fair reproducible test if the models are static and not sitting behind an api where you have no idea on how they are updated or continuously tweaked.

In a few months (weeks, days - maybe it has already happened) models will have much better performance on this test. Not because of actual increased “intelligence” but because the test would be included in model’s training data - either dir

I believe this company used to present its results and approach in academic papers with enough details so that it could be reproduced by third parties. Now it is just doing a bunch of tweets?

If Apple cannot do their own implementation of CUDA due to copyright second best is this; getting developers to build for LMX (which is on their laptops) and still get NVIDIA hardware support. Apple should do a similar thing for AMD.

I don't quite understand what is going in China; why are these private companies (Deepseek, Alibaba, Moonshot, Bytedance) releasing models, which have been very costly to develop, for free? Is there some of sort of government mandate b

That it will actually be open and reproducible? Including how it was trained, what data was used, how training data was synthesized, how other models were used etc. All the stuff that is kept secret in case of llama, deepseek etc.
