eunos··on DeepSeek v4
That's like saying Raytheon would outsource building drones from Saheed makers (don't know who exactly).

Not gonna happen

eunos··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
> Count 4 - Wire Fraud

I almost always see this charge. Seems too strong as law

eunos··on DeepSeek v4
> China asks other country not to meddle with internal separatism > They also dont support separatism in my country

Understandable.

eunos··on DeepSeek v4
They arent. Benchmark wise they are quite apart.
eunos··on Ping-pong robot beats top-level human players
> If a txt2vid model could generate a 100% perfect video of a soccer match, perfectly rendering each blade of grass, would anyone watch it? No, because we care about the team and the stories of the players. Not just the spectacle being shown.

But AI would produce hilarious and memeable soccer matches. Those are enough to reserve your attention and waste your time.

eunos··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
The Gulfs would just follow whatever US wished. They also received the grim reminder that US being far away can just go at a moment notice. Iran is there for eternity figuratively speaking. They all need to learn to live together
eunos··on China is mass-producing hypersonic missiles for $99,000
> China has the same air defense and tech as Iran

Lmao, quantitatively and qualitatively China is more than an order of magnitude bigger

eunos··on Bets on US-Iran ceasefire show signs of insider knowledge, say experts
Brent isn't security products so not covered under anti insider trading law right?
eunos··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
> Attack Greenland ->attack Denmark, attack Denmark -> Attack the EU.

Rhetoric and public support aside, I honestly very much doubt that there will be a solid EU military response. For many countries like Baltic, Eastern Europe and Nordic countries (ironically DK included). US military support means life or death of their countries. I imagine they'd stall response like what Hungary did and hope that Greenland annexed become fait accompli.

eunos··on Honda is killing its EVs
> they have no moat beyond expertise and some tech advancement that could be replicated easily enough

Incorrect, de facto, the only firms invested heavily in the rare earth refineries technology are Chinese for the last 20-30 years. Their moats are as deep as TSMC moats so to say.

eunos··on Iran warns U.S. tech firms could become targets as war expands
Nah it's foolish to think only that it's just Trump war.
eunos··on Swiss e-voting pilot can't count 2,048 ballots after decryption failure
That's a very exact number if you know what I mean
eunos··on Most of the US economy is in a recession
Even if Trump goes Taco, Khamenei Jr won't accept. Remember the adversary also get a vote.
eunos··on Tech employment now significantly worse than the 2008 or 2020 recessions
After reading many anecdotes of top school alumni struggling to even secure some interviews, I'm really curious about what opportunities available for median American freshgrads e.g. 3.0 GPA from T100-200 Unis.
eunos··on Something is afoot in the land of Qwen
> never put a political sign in your yard or even just talk about the wrong thing with your friend in a WeChat.

Practically, how many care about that? Consider that in other part of the world they also cancel folks based on social media opinion...

and that Benjamin Franklin's opinion on security and freedom? Thats terminally online phenomenon only. I once tried to bring that without specifically mentioned that it came from ol Ben himself to folks IRL. Many thought it was some anarchist blabbers.

eunos··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
> okay, well yes you might be right but you also understand what the point of the interview is.

So the point is? I honestly dont understand.

eunos··on AI Made Writing Code Easier. It Made Being an Engineer Harder
> AI made me faster at producing code, but it also made me produce MORE code, which means more surface area for bugs, more maintenance burden, more complexity to reason about

I think from time to time, it's better to ask the AI whether the codebase could be cleaned and simplified. Much better if you use different AI than what you use to make the project.

eunos··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
I'm not discounting that Trump is thinking he could back another Pahlavi and restore the Peacock Throne.
eunos··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
IRGC or whatever succeed next should wise themselves and stop hedging about whatever next deal with US/EU.
eunos··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Many folks said that if the supreme leader got killed then it's all over. I honestly skeptical since IRGC folks would take over and I think they are much more militant than the Supreme Leader.
eunos··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Then Hegseth and Caine must be prepared to face the next Taiwan strait crisis with depleted munitions.
eunos··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
>Delcy-style swaparoo,

I think IRGCs are much more robust and zealous than whatever Maduro had.

eunos··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
> generational effort to fix

You imply that there are folks that willing to fix or even recognize that things are broken in the first place

eunos··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
That's a convoluted way of saying "You have a freedom of speech but not after the speech"
eunos··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
"Your law enforcement is censorship, while my censorship is law enforcement "

Got it

eunos··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
I tried accessing betfair site. It's not your ISP or govt blocks it but betfair themselves blocks traffic from countries they are not legally have business.
eunos··on We're no longer attracting top talent: the brain drain killing American science
> We need to produce fewer PhDs and provide better support for those we do produce.

You'll have gluts of Masters then and so on.

eunos··on We're no longer attracting top talent: the brain drain killing American science
US State Department already asked for social media accounts. Chinese visa applications dont.
eunos··on We're no longer attracting top talent: the brain drain killing American science
> US Executive Branch isn't compromised by our enemies

Or maybe the rots are within? It's tempting to trivially assume it's outside. I'd say they are mostly come from within and beyond Trump admin.

But even if you combine Tier 1 and New Tier 1 Chinese cities alone, their populations are around 200M. That's close to 66% of the US. Besides Tier 2 cities like Xiamen, Hefei, Foshan and Zhuhai are still excellent.

So quantitatively, China’s pool is still very strong.
