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.
this is what sniffing glue does to your brain kids
lol I think this mostly happens when people give too broad a task to llms
That said, there is a lot of boring code out there. For example, most UIs are basically just doing CRUD operations, and once you’ve written enough of these things it’s not really that exciting anymore.
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.
The funny part is that the US was the first to study this technology back in the day, but it was abandoned since thorium has no military application.
How does people living in a province of China having mainland residency permits divides their loyalties again?
Amazing of you to pretend that XHS doesn’t exist and people from the west aren’t talking to people in China on regular basis
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.
I personally like technological advancement in general. China has a good mix of practical and immediately useful tech, but they also do some moonshot projects like this. Even when these projects don’t work out, something interesting is learned in the process.
Exports to US account for roughly 2% of China’s economy, it’s clearly not significant for China
just do a trade embargo at this point 🤣
The offer to Europe is a poisoned chalice. Europeans are expected to betray China, gut food safety laws for toxic US beef, and pray America doesn’t knife them in the back with pharma tariffs mid-negotiation. The EU still deludes itself that 90 days of tariff pauses mean goodwill, as if the US hasn’t spent decades sabotaging allies. We’ll see if European leadership understands that when the dollar collapses, America will drain Europe’s corpse first.
China does tend to have a track record of finishing big engineering projects early. :)
This move makes perfect sense to me. It’s just a naked protection racket at this point, no need to pretend there’s a diplomatic aspect to it.
