This is excellent, the duopoly discussions of the world mostly center around US and China and EU feels increasingly excluded while the rest of the world appears as footnote for good or bad reasons. I do hope this means there is enough dynam

It is not broad political comment. If you read the original text and sunnahs as well as follow the interpretations of a lot of scholars like Zakir Naik and others that are unapologetic the truth that is conveniently hidden in discussions ea

Islam and Neoliberal wests are the strangest bedfellows. Thankfully people like Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and many others pointed the oddities long before many others made it us vs them political. Palestinian cause is used to dr

I have actually worked in a company as a consultant data guy in a non technical team, I had a 128 GB PC 10 years back, and did everything with open source R then, and it worked ! The others thought it was wizardry

Honestly, at this point, may be someone can collect a bunch of like minded individuals and build a city from scratch that ticks all the boxes instead of fighting existing vested interests. Then, hopefully it can be a model for others to rev

while even people born in Asian countries like me would like to go back 3-4 generations and forcefully reduce birthrates, it is not a problem as simple as it seems. By that logic Canada, Australia, NZ, and arguably even US are settled place

there is also no easy way to build a perfect health AI without giving up some privacy. Now there will always be risks, but this is why I think China might overtake everyone else in Healthcare AI at the least

Exactly, and I think not every instance can be claimed to be a hallucination, there will be so much latent knowledge they might have explored. It is likely we might see some AlphaGo type new styles in existing research workflows that AI mig

That is true even if you take LFP for China, Global South & lower range urban vehicles and LMFP or High nickel Lithium ion batteries into consideration in a place where rational thinking persists. Solid state if it works at scale at rig

Everyone wants to give advice, no one wants to take a lead and execute anything concrete. All the talk of energy and no mention of solar, wind, batteries

but at least we will have alternative energy sources in Solar, wind, batteries and probably a Nuclear renaissance which might reduce the incentives on fight for Oil & Gas even if the fights move to other resources

Which is something that when I try to explain to some 'environmentalists' do not get the point. The other benefits of a biodiverse green belt are great, but if tomorrow I have a concrete system that captures CO2 at 10x the level o

I think they can probably win the energy storage game when scaled. I know the voltage range is a serious issue but I am guessing CATL itself might want to divert LFP/ LMFP chemistries to vehicles and use this for energy storage. People

but if it does, will it mean we are in the endgame. More and more value extraction by fewer and fewer people and entities under noble or complex reasoning.

Had heard a lot about flow batteries few years back. I am guessing they are slowly taking off as well, the trial and error that explains their feasibility , need and ability to pay for themselves in a market like ERCOT is the key. This is o

I worked in a job a decade back where I was the only tech guy and had a special 128 GB RAM machine. All the 'Big data' for the team was done by me using R tidyverse, data.table and few libraries and they thought of it as magic as

there is enough proof that they had a chatbot internally which was quite competitive but was not pushed through for all these fears, it seems they were always confident that they could catch up and scaling laws were their internal defense.

Yet tbh if the US industry had not moved ahead and created the race with FOMO it would not had been easier for Chinese strategy to work either. The nature of the race may change as yet though, and I am unsure if the devil is in the details,

That is amazing if they can do all of this at < 10 % of the cost of frontier labs. Off course they work in the shadows of the great work done in the frontier labs and shared, but there is some exceptional high speed execution happening b
