@GMomurder You have that in america? Please point to where i can find out more abt them. My impression of american parents is that they dont press hard measures if their children are not responsive

This is equivalent to troubled teen industry companies in the US. They’re private boot camp schools with strong emphasis on pseudo-military discipline. It has just as much controversy there as it does here. It’s actually one area of schooling that’s remarkably *close* to America

Dude they have literal anti-Asmongold divisions in China

@MaitreyaBhakal Maybe not 1500 years , but between 500-1000. And indeed Indian civilization has greatly influenced chinese civilization, much more than the other way round, but I think it's not that Chinese people think China was great, more so India was more advanced in some aspects.
English
Imagine what the West, especially the US, represents for many liberals and elites of the Global South:
A civilization so advanced, superior, and prosperous - that it is simply considered a sort of holy land. A land whose greatness is openly acknowledged, whose culture is openly considered superior - and coveted, copied, and adapted repeatedly. It is considered an endless source of knowledge in every realm. Its ideas are endlessly studied, imported, and applied back home. A place people travel to in search of wisdom, opportunity, and status. Its universities attract your best students. To visit there is the ultimate privilege. To settle there is the ultimate dream. Its institutions and ideas command the ultimate respect. Its judgement is treated as that of a higher authority. Its recognition and approval confer civilizational legitimacy.
For about 1500 years, India represented this ideal for the Chinese elite.

what an unexpectedly insane day for chinese AI
- deepseek raises at $50B val
- then microsoft (openai’s biggest investor) announces it’s using deepseeks model for its flagship copilot ai
- then Zhipu drops glm-5.2 which matches opus 4.8 and got 5.5 at top coding benchmarks
all open weight models btw. if you’re an american enterprise spending $10-100M+ a year on claude code/codex you have to at least be *thinking* about using these models
imagine wrapping these models in a cursor harness, performance would be very competitive.
very significant in light of recent government bans on fable too

@The_Equationist @AngelicaOung @Bundescanclerin some non mandarin varieties do, and theres even phoneme sandhi

@AngelicaOung @Bundescanclerin Yeah but that's sandhi based only on immediately neighboring syllables right? Not based on distant syllables in e.g. a compound word, as I understand it.

The funny thing is Indians are by far not the only ppl guilty of this kind of creative projection. When something is a prominent feature of our own culture we start seeing the ghost of it in other cultures quite naturally.
For instance, I’ve seen Taiwanese ppl trying to learn English as a second language trying to assign tones to English words. I’d tell them…no English is not a tonal language. And they’ll argue back « I can kind of hear it tho » and I’d say…erm that’s just the stress. « Sounds like tones to me… »

@airesearch12 @scaling01 The joke is that liang wenfeng earns money from the stock market, which he can manipulate without breaking the law because he produces top ai models

@scaling01 I should disclaim I am working at an inference provider (Chutes.ai) and thus have some insight on the internal cost structure of serving these models.

frontier labs are absolutely scamming you on API pricing btw
GLM-5.2 is $4.4 output at 744B@40B
DeepSeek-V4-Pro is $0.87 output at 1.6T@49B
(and they are both making money, without any fancy Blackwell chips)
Sonnet 4.6 is $15 output
Opus 4.8 is $25 output
GPT-5.5 is $30 output
frontier labs are probably at 90%+ margins at this point
Lisan al Gaib@scaling01
GLM-5.2 genuinely looks like a good model and it's only 744B imagine what kind of margins the frontier labs have also try to imagine what a 1T Kimi or 1.6T DeepSeek model will do the only way for frontier labs to keep their lead is to scale their models and put in even more RL than these chinese labs

@morris_que14 The first goal was to not have Americans cross the Yalu river

This is a clear misunderstanding of what China's strategic goals in Korea were. No, the Chinese were not fighting to reunify the Korean peninsula under North Korea that was North Korea's strategic goal and they only ever overlapped with China's in practice.
In fact, China wanted to preserve communist North Korea solely as a buffer state to keep a potentially hostile capitalist power away from its NE border. Since it accomplished the goal of preserving North Korea, that war can be considered a victory for China.
IrradiatedGoon@IrradiatedGoon
@hugodeboss1 The Chinese by themselves outnumbered all the US and RoK troops. And they didn't outfight anybody or there'd only be one Korea.

特定の重希土類やレアアース磁石については、中国依存が高く、輸出規制が長引けば産業界で不足が出るリスクはあります。
しかし結論は、「日本のレアアース備蓄がもう尽きかけている」とまでは確認できません。
日本にはレアメタル備蓄制度がある
日本はレアアースを含むレアメタルについて、国家備蓄をしています。
経産省の説明では、従来はレアメタル34鉱種について、官民合わせて国内基準消費量の60日分、一部鉱種は30日分を目標に備蓄していました。
ただし、実際にどの元素を何トン持っているか、残量が何日分かは、安全保障上の理由から詳細が公開されにくいです。
また、すべてのレアアースが同じ危機度かという観点では、違うといえます。

The Japanese logic is that since Japanese-made components play a certain role in global supply chains, a Chinese rare earth embargo against Japan would hurt not only Japan but also the United States. Therefore, Trump is obligated to ask China to restore rare earth supplies to Japan.
Those foolish right-wing Japanese have spent the past few months talking tough, claiming that Japan could do just fine without Chinese rare earths. Absurd stories about mining rare earth mud from the seabed were turned into headline news just to boost the morale of the Japanese right. Now that their rare earth reserves are running out, they've finally stopped running their mouths.
I've always said that the Japanese live in the most closed information environment in the world. The extent to which their media has brainwashed the public is astonishing — but this is nothing new for the Japanese. It's a tradition. During World War II, right up until the atomic bombs were dropped, Japanese media was still reporting a continuous string of glorious victories of Japan.
So, never bother reasoning with the Japanese. It won't work. Just educate them through physical means.

What is happening to universities is troubling.
Students just have AI do their programming assignments. They seem to no longer do any work. It is just pure AI.
I am not joking. Students complete an entire course, and then end up not being unable to write a 3-line function.
So we fail them.
Again and again.
Some fight me : « Look at the code I can do !!! »
« Yeah, but when asked to code without AI, you can't do anything. »
Whiteboard interviews are going to be either retired or it is going to be a bloodshed.
How can you pass someone in a programming course when they can't write a single function without AI?

🦔UC Berkeley's computer science department just posted its worst failure rates in years. 35.3% of CS 10 students got F's in spring 2026, up from under 10% in prior semesters. Professor Dan Garcia says the primary driver is a "vast increase in academic dishonesty" through LLMs. Students use AI to complete assignments, never learn the material, then fail exams. His office hours, once full, are now empty. My Take Companies are firing experienced engineers while the pipeline that produces new ones is being gutted by the same technology. Students use AI to bypass the hard part of learning, show up to exams without the understanding, and fail. One professor discovered a student's linear algebra class had an "open AI" policy for homework and exams. That student then couldn't do basic linear algebra in the next course. Both ends of the workforce are eroding at the same time. Senior engineers are getting cut to fund AI spending. Junior engineers are graduating without the skills because AI did their coursework. And the companies spending trillions on these tools haven't connected those two facts yet. Hedgie🤗

@s300felix @Unveiled_ChinaX The same thing is happening in China anyways, sale of IP and transfer of core technologies to India and Vietnam.
English
@Unveiled_ChinaX In many cases, private German company owners and shareholders didn't mind and were more than happy to sell companies or IP. Government was slow to block it.
It could as well have been Koreans, US, Japanese or Indians making offers. So Germans should blame themselves, first of all

Germany is losing the intellectual property war to Beijing without a single shot being fired. An alarming new study by the German Economic Institute reveals that China has quietly seized ownership of more than 11,300 patents originally developed in Germany over the past two decades. This marks a staggering predatory shift from the year 2000, when Chinese entities owned virtually zero German patents. Beijing is systematically stripping away Europe's technological edge, aggressively targeting Germany's traditional core strengths in mechanical engineering and advanced robotics, epitomized by the corporate acquisition of industrial robotics pioneer Kuka.
This is not normal market competition; it is a calculated, asymmetric economic raid. While Germany's global R&D spending ranking plummeted from third to sixth, China's research spending exploded twentyfold over the same period. Experts warn of a severe and dangerous imbalance, as the CCP strategically directs Western corporate takeovers while keeping its own domestic market strictly sealed off through protectionist negative lists and security reviews. As European policymakers slowly debate "de-risking," the hard data proves that Germany is steadily losing control of its critical future innovations to an authoritarian adversary.

The other thing is that I think the idea of "financial repression" is a crazy idea. So the idea is that China is BAD BAD BAD because households save and then this money gets used to build factories. A far better system would be one in which households go into massive debt and
