If you lay off the QA team you can accelerate delivery, as Crowdstrike has shown

Sounds like they need to split up the brand. Customers need to have a consistent experience across locations

No mention of the SSMB project? AFAIK that one is further along than the EUV-FEL approach

That's not a weird stance at all. Twitter/X is blocked in China because it refuses to comply with Chinese law on censorship. China's law criminalizes behavior on censorship, which adheres to what modern notions of legal jurisprudence. The US law criminalizes origin and ownership, which violates a legal principle on bills of attainder.

Which makes the ban bill a bill of attainder:

Nicely written bill of attainder...

Factually incorrect. China didn't ban US apps, it required US apps to obey local Chinese censorship laws. Some apps (like LinkedIn) stayed in compliance and stayed, while others left China.

Then let's look at TSMC: https://valustox.com/TSM

In the future, they won't read you your bill of rights, they'll read you your terms of service

Try this, and see how long it takes before your home is raided and you are prosecuted for whatever the authorities can find

Imagine Allah.ai gets to AGI, and the first thing it does is say "the House of Saud is haram"

A solar industry won't give you the type of engineers and technicians that can be conscripted into a project to vitrify your enemy's capital city though. That's a big minus

Can you name some of these hedge funds?

It's interesting how the Chinese diaspora was able to drive a large amount of China's economic growth, but the same is not true for the Indian diaspora.

Yes, it is interesting. I'm curious what the experience of H1bs who've been let go recently

Where can we find a list of startups that have large quantities of deposits at SVB?

Not one mention of the tech sanctions placed on China, but so much focus on COVID controls. Easy to see where this author's bread is buttered

This is going to be so fun to watch

ChatGPT would like to know this answer

This article reads like someone put Klippsten's November thread into ChatGPT

Worth noting that these drills aren't really newsworthy. They occur in international waters, have been ongoing since 2019, and are smaller than the drills the US has conducted in the South China Sea.

How much does someone want to bet that SBF gets less than 10 years for his scheme to defraud millions of people?

Simple, Scale AI is likely fishing for federal contracts now that its traditional enterprise customer set is throttling back on spending

In 2021, Alex Wang of Scale (the author of the linked article) uncritically quoted the following from Eric Schmidt:

"Eric states that the global growth of AI technology is a national security threat for the United States. In March, we believed we were ahead of China’s technological development in the AI sector, but they quickly showed us that we were wrong. By June, they’d demonstrated a model capable of producing human-like text that was comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-3 model in quality."

As such, it's important to note that the author views the entire Chinese AI industry as a threat to the United States, and may believe that the growth of AI anywhere in the rest of the world is a threat to the United States.

"block, and blocks of factories being bulldozed to make space for luxury hotels, and hooker parlours"

Where did you see this?

> MBA basically trains people to see their work/world as a video game where they play with spreadsheets, choose the right dialogue options in the tree, and assign your workers to specific tasks, and then when the reality doesn't conform everything hits the fan

Accurate except the last part - when reality doesn't conform you come up with a 'transition plan' that involves you finding another group to run over a 3 month grace period while all the workers scramble with much less time than that

> Interest rates are much lower than they were in the past, and all indications are that they’ll stay low for years to come.

This does not seem to be true anymore.
