Nvidia is obviously a US company, but the chips themselves are manufactured in Taiwan.

And of course China sees Taiwan as a rogue province, at at least treats invasion there as "on the table". While the US may decide to actively support Taiwan, at the very least a war over that will disrupt production.

Should Taiwan fall, and China choose to ban exports from there to the US, then the fun and games would really start.

As long as back-channels exist to supply the chips to China, then there's less incentive for China to control Taiwan. The ban exists as good politics (we don't ship to our adversaries) while the back-channels ensure they aren't forced into a position no-one wants them to be in.

Having taken a few robot vacuums apart, you are spot on. It’s very noticeable. The roombas are the better engineered ones. The worst one was a Shark. It was toy-like in its construction, the wiring was messy, it was simply unpleasant. Also unpleasant but a step above were the neatos. We still have an xv21 that runs daily. Its lidar tech was amazing at the time. Early xiomi roborocks were blatant copying both the lidar and motherboard.
Code is a liability. Not writing code is one of the best things a developer can do on any particular day, aside of course from deleting it ;)

I don't know if it would fix splitting across pages, but that sounds like negative margins. They've been in CSS forever. The basic idea:

.heading { margin-bottom: 30px; }
.paragraph { margin-top: -30px; }

Also:

> the heading could instead claim it needs three lines, which would ensure it would never be orphaned

It wouldn't prevent being orphaned at this point in your idea. What if there was room for 3 lines at the end of the first page?

My Eufy vacuum app helpfully tracks runtime hours and notifies me of different maintenance tasks as they become required, like wiping off sensors (every 35 hours) or cleaning filters and brushes (every 20 hours) or replacing filters (every 350 hours.)

>Unless you think they should just let the fires burn, which would be catastrophic.

Why? I think it's probably the best thing to do. If the USG doesn't want to allocate enough money to properly manage forests, then why not just let it burn? If that results in some towns burned down, that's fine: voters in those towns can complain to their elected representatives and maybe vote for someone else.

There exists a third possibility where the US and China sign an under the table deal for China to invade, the US to saber rattle and China to allow the flow of chips to continue. The present direction seems to be the US is "de-risking" from Taiwan by moving chip production to the US, so if China does invade they aren't caught in a bind.
I am sure that your article said that it's newer and the launch event was on the plane of the ecliptic.

> Suppose tomorrow it was announced that China has brokered a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia and that they will send peacekeepers to ensure compliance.

I literally do not think China has the international clout to make that happen. China is deep in kahoots with Russia, and any deal brokered by them is no more likely to hold than the previous treaties. Ukraine's ultimate goal is to have the same security that other NATO countries enjoy, and that's not something China has the authority to offer them in the first place.

The US isn't involved in Ukraine like they are in Taiwan. If Ukraine becomes occupied territory, it will be a tragedy but the United States will be okay. If Taiwan is occupied, the entire concept of American economic leadership will be inherently jeopardized and free trade in the Taiwan Strait will probably cease. This would also offer a deeply threatening staging location for attacks on other allies a-la Japan and Australia, whereas the territory of Ukraine is arguably less strategically valuable than Crimea or Georgia, let alone Taiwan. I guess only time will tell.
The post here and Amodei’s are both in reference to this poem:

This comparison is pretty misleading. An accessibility issue prevents someone from being able to use software effectively. Not having localized text would have a similar impact. A ~1% performance impact on the other hand is the minuscule downside of improving debugging, profiling and error reporting for an entire OS. And that's not just a minority of users, as tons of software will automatically gather stack traces for bug reports.

There's basically no downside to fixing accessibility issues or adding new language translations other than the work involved in doing so. (And yes, maintaining translations over time is hard, but most projects let them lag during development, so they don't directly hold anything back.) There is a rather glaring downside to this performance optimization, whose upside is sometimes entirely within run-to-run variance and can be blown away by almost any other performance tweak. It's clear the optimization has some upsides, but an extra register and saving some trivial loads/stores just isn't as big of a deal on modern processors that are loaded to the gills with huge caches and deep pipelines.

I guess I don't care that much about fomit-frame-pointer in the grand scheme of things, but I think enabling it in distributions was ultimately a mistake. If some software packages benefited enough from it, it could've just been done only for those packages. Doing it across the system is questionable at best...
JSON has superfluous quotes for the field names in objects, so overall xᴇɴᴏɴ is more terse than ᴊꜱᴏɴ.
Yup, and this is exactly what happened in the lead-up to the second world war. Britain, France, and America did the "speak words and send arms" thing to stop Germany in the "most prudent fashion", when a quick punch to the nose would have stopped them while they were still unsteady on their military feet.

No one wants to say it, but it's cowardice, and all it does is encourage the bullies of the world, and tells everyone else that you're on your own so you might as well only look out for number one.

Russia knows this, which is why they stirred up Hamas, Iran, and NK, and are actively interfering with Georgian and Moldovan elections. I mean, if nobody's going to stop you, why would you not do this to weaken and confuse your rival?

There's a bunch of case law surrounding people who have bought property for a specific use and then the city rezones it to prevent that use. The purchasers generally always win in court, because they have obviously had something taken from them.

But here it is not so clear. We are 100 years from this Euclid decision, so essentially anything you have purchased already had the rights taken from it. You knew that there was zoning when you bought it. It is some previous owner that was wronged (100 years ago!), not you. So where is your standing to file a challenge?

Please note that I am very much in favor of someone else using their own money to mount a challenge, and I wish them luck :)

a very minor effect imho. china doesn't want to control taiwan due to any economic reasons. It's ideological.

China doesn't want the model of a free, democratic society of chinese people to exist, because it proves that the CCP's authoritarianism isn't the only "good" model.

Look at how hong kong was cracked down; china took the opportunity to do it, when the economic bounties from hong kong was being usurped by shenzen (and to a degree, shanghai).

Even if they can limit exports to only a handful of GPUs is that sufficient?

My understanding is that what those countries want them for is AI training. Once a model is trained using the model can be done on much less powerful hardware.

So instead of trying to set up sham companies that they indirectly control to buy and sneak GPUs out of the county, how about setting up a sham startup in the US that they indirectly control in some field that needs AI, have it buy a ton of GPUs, and then have it use some of those resources to run training jobs for them?
Interesting that seeing libraries like this now makes me think “hmm, an efficient API for an LLM to master diagramming”
Depending on how many properties they have in their portfolio for a particular county, it could make sense for them to start donating to candidates for tax assessor that are favorable to them. If the goal here is to buy properties and flip them, having an assessor that only assess value once a decade is going to be better than one who requires a reassessment each time a permit is issued for a property. If they want to hold and rent, another assessment strategy would be beneficial for them.
Well, it's not like the barista bakes the bagels.
I would think it's a mix of not being sure exactly what to do on error and not wanting to undergo the effort of writing error logic. You have to switch from "basic skeletal structure of the program" to "cover all bases", which isn't simple. So it's easy to have no or rudimentary error handling, and by the time you want to change it, it's hard to change. Like, "malloc can fail, but it would be a lot easier right now if I assume it won't".

Used to work for a large airline IT provider on departure-control software (check-in, boarding, etc.)

Each airline on-boarded would demand mandatory features that they couldn't do without. Keep in mind these features weren't free, they were billed market-rate development charges - though the company didn't make money off that, the core business model was usage-based billing.

More than 80% of implemented features would go completely unused.

amusing, as the competition doesn’t have the privilege of defining whose fault their circumstance is. adapt or exist in mediocre compensation, mediocre abilities to provide security to partners.

> The present direction seems to be the US is "de-risking" from Taiwan by moving chip production to the US, so if China does invade they aren't caught in a bind.

This idea that the US is protecting Taiwan for its semiconductor prowess (aka the "silicon shield") is a very confusing idea to me as it ignores the period from the 40's to the 90's when Taiwan had no semiconductor manufacturing that wasn't being done as well or better elsewhere, yet the US was a ardent supporter, to the point of almost entirely shunning the People's Republic of China over it.

It's a smart sounding idea (especially if you don't know your 20th century Chinese history) but the facts just don't back it up.

The business doesn’t really function without someone actually producing the work. Please tell me why executives are so much more entitled to profits than the people down the chain?

I’m not saying don’t people pay well but the executives - non executive power balance is huge and I don’t see how a person can deny this.

Materially executives are also rarely helped accountable for their terrible decisions or layoffs would actually be laid at their feet.

Labor market imbalances of power are well documented and easily discoverable. It’s really plain at this point that material productivity gains have almost entirely been funneled to the top, with workers benefitting very little. Wages have not kept pace with productivity gains since the 1970s, even if you include the recent blip of wage increases they aren’t meaningful in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, very weird timing - I test-drove a GPT I personalized for talk therapy purposes just an hour ago. I cried 10 mins into testing it so there was some kind of release, and have something I can try in the real world that might help me.

I have a two month gap in therapy while my therapist is on maternity leave and while I have a real life standby in case I need it, I decided to cobble together my own chatbot therapist to see how it would go.

I'm mostly familiar with CBT, having read Beck's Second Edition[1], some of Eugene Gendlin work on listening. Supplying it with my favorite resources on reflective listening[2], cognitive distortions, and cognitive restructuring material, and basic framing ie: "Tell me about your week," it was deceptively simple to get off the ground.

There's one hurdle that I foresee - I have to be self-accountable and actually participate. I already have a habit of attending therapy once a week for one hour, but we'll see. It does change the accountability dynamic.

> But Chinese citizens know the US exists?

of course, but the US is not mostly composed of chinese people.

It is common belief in china that the state governance by the CCP is doing good for the country, and the proof is economic progress, material wealth and geopolitical strength.
If national security interests drove development, the US would have local manufacturing of current-process-node chips instead of being dependent on TSMC.
