Can truly understand this. Unnecessarily trying to integrate AI agents or any other tech in a place where it is not needed ruins the user experience and makes the whole process even harder for the users.

If there is no need and users want to keep it in the traditional way (non-tech way), then keeping it in that way is better
the experts were correct. in 2024 there are now OS APIs that provide the same observability and control with much less risk involved.
Hello Chester! Thanks for clarifying and for a terrific post.
Didn't Mark Zuckerberg say he would reduce censorship on FB just a few weeks ago?
Sounds very interesting. Will try it out
First, the EU (well, governments of EU member countries, not the EU itself, which anyway doesn't tax citizens) invests far more into people than China does; civil services, from sanitation to healthcare to schools to social security, are all much better in the EU countries than in China.

Secondly, China also has extremely high bureaucracy, and extreme levels of government regulation - a classic problem for dictatorial regimes, especially ones spanning huge spaces (where direct control is physically impossible, even in the information age).

The big difference is that EU governments have drunk the coolaid on modern economical theories, and don't generally pick winners and losers in the market (beyond few key companies with deep ties to the ruling elites, mostly in banking), don't invest massive amounts to prop up companies doing price dumping, and generally play within the rules of world trade.

Of course, those rules are made up specifically to prevent any state from using its power to out-compete incumbent companies, many of which are US owned, but also German, French, Spanish etc owned.

Also, there is little appetite for EU level strategic decisions, EU member countries are far too divided. For example, Finland probably didn't have the power to prop up Nokia's phone division when Apple and Samsung started eating its lunch with smartphones, and France or Germany wouldn't have wanted to invest EU resources into doing it either. France is likely not going to be ok with propping up a German rival to BYD using massive funds, or vice versa for a French company.

So, while collectively the EU easily rivals China on money antld the USA on population, it is far too divided to pool those powers together, and the EU population mirrors this sentiment - there is not a strong EU identity that would see a Belgian person deeply proud of a major tech company based in Slovenia, or a Czech person cheering for a massive new investment in Portugal.

are you sure? people are saying that there’s an analogous cycle where you use o1-style reasoning to produce better inputs to the next training round
Given that they use the Chinese initialism for the Chinese Communist Party (cpc, taken from the literal translation of 中国共产党, instead of CCP), they probably do — i.e., the likelihood they are a Chinese person living in, or having lived most of their life in, China seems high.
This may be model/generation dependent.

I've had such issues with my Forerunner 735xt (from the very start), but ever since I upgraded - or seen friends using - newer hardware, these issues have entirely disappeared.

e.g I've traced sync issues to some problem in the BT stack: forcing a disconnect/reconnect made it sync without fail. GPS was slow to lock because of low storage thus no AGPS data.

The situation with "new" hardware is completely different.

GPS lock is ~instant, by the time I get out of my RF bunker of a home I have a lock by the time I have moved the arm to press the start activity button.

Sync is subsecond usually, and takes mere seconds when it "catches up" due to phone being away from watch for a while.

Touchscreen is handy sometimes but a mere occasional bonus convenience in specific occasions: the main input mechanism is squarely buttons. I mean touch for watches is kinda braindead as an input mechanism since a finger covers so much of an area, obscuring a quarter of the screen.

UI and menu organisation felt very odd at the beginning, but after a while I started understanding how and why it's laid out this way.

It is a very alien interface at first but it absolutely makes sense, and the amount of things one can do straight from the watch is insane. I mean you can never ever sync the watch to Garmin Connect and still have a massive amount of features. It's essentially completely autonomous, something I used to great effect when their system was brought down because of IIRC a malware attack.
Don't some Garmin watches support long press app launch?

> You don't burn out because you weren't working.

If you never had to work then you would never burn out, sure. But returning back from la-la land, most people are going to have to work. As was stated before, burnout ensues when one forces themselves to work when they are not in the right frame of mind to do so. If you code by the rule of the calendar, that is what is going to put you at risk of burnout. If you code when your mind says "Let's go" and stop when your mind says "That's enough", chances are you'll never experience it.

Denying a "let's go" moment on Saturday, to fight with a "that's enough" moment on Monday because the calendar says you cannot work on Saturday but must work on Monday is a good way to end up with burnout. But why fight it? Why not just work on Saturday and take Monday off? It is not going to make any difference in the end. The deliverable will be there at the anticipated time either way.

> I am concerned about how you describe coding as an addiction.

What is this addiction you are referring to? I can find no mention of it anywhere in this thread before this.
In this context it follows. If you believe the pointers dont alias (and want to use simd) then there should be no data-dependencies inbetween indices.
(If there are data-dependencies it is quite likely that you have designed your algorithm to accomodate that, i.e. make it suitable for vectorised access. parallel prefix-sum would be an example of this).
And without data-dependencies vectorized code is exactly equal to unvectorized code in all circumstances.
If however, you do have data-dependencies, then your algorithm is wrong.
Vectorizing can surface this error, while keeping it unvectorized may hide it.
In my previous example (parallel prefix-sum) if you had a direct data-dependency to the previous index your program would've been wrong - regardless of vectorization.

In short, while your statement is true in general, I believe that it is not applicable in the context of the discussion.
I had a similar intuition for a long time, but I’ve watched the threshold of “certain complexity” move, and I’m no longer convinced that I know when it’s going to stop
So when will Taiwan be "the little island off mainland China?"
The thing about open source is that you don't need to trust it.

They shared their methodology, so if they are legit, someone else will reproduce what they did very quickly. I expect Meta, Amazon, Google, and Anthropic are on the case right now.

From this list, the only one I trust any more than I trust Deepseek is Anthropic.

The other three have shown they'll instantly bend the knee to whomever is in power, and that's exactly the same thing people are worried that Deepseek is doing.

Last year I would have said I trusted American companies more than Chinese. But last year feels like a long time ago.

"Linux ultimately prevailed-not because it was better from the start, but because it allowed developers to modify the code freely, run it more securely and affordably, and build a broader ecosystem that enabled more capabilities than any closed system"

Deepseek followed llama and will be followed by others in the usual mushroom fashion of open source. People really dont appreciate the magnitude of the disruptive force that is unleashed by the open source paradigm. In a year from now the landscape will be brimming with new initiatives. In a few years nobody will even remember "open"ai.

Conventional economic theory will always misread the future of computing (and thus "AI"). The zero marginal cost and infinite replicability is not a bug, its a feature. But so far we dont really have a good model how to think about it and merge it with mainstream business models. Something must pay the bills eventually but these are very different bills from those of conventional scarcity based businesses. Ironically in the end the main scarcity is human ingenuity. Read the interview of the Deepseek founder on why their models are open source.
