  • Pretty much the only way a new computing substrate will be developed is through massive government funding. No company will spend billions of dollars and years of research on something that may or may not pan out in the end. It’s just too much risk coupled with lack of short term profit. Meanwhile, the US has convinced Chinese government that they need to start doing precisely this kind of long term investment into computing tech, and now we’re seeing a huge amount of innovation coming out of China in this domain.


  • The LLM is what I use to build the specific UI using the components from these great UI libraries. There’s practically no logic involved here, it’s just handling layout for components and hooking up events. It’s fantastic to be able to take a JSON payload from an endpoint throw it at a model and get a reasonable UI in seconds.








  • Yeah, I find LLMs are really nice for learning a new language when you know what you want to do, but not the specific syntax or best patterns. I’ve also found LLMs are great for stuff like crafting SQL queries, one off shell scripts, and building UIs. They can write certain kinds of code fairly well nowadays, but you want to keep the problem scope clear and focused.












  • China’s growth was projected to be at around 5%, so even taking a full 2-3% hit would mean the economy would continue to grow. And as you rightly point out, the governance in China is very effective, and they have been preparing for this eventuality for a long time. The most likely scenario is that trade will be redirected, and the government will directly support parts of the economy that are affected by the decoupling.
