@TristanSnell Too soon, NASA only the first, fully paid by taxpayers.

Elon Musk didn’t go to the moon.
Jeff Bezos didn’t go to the moon.
NASA went to the moon.

Pretty much spot on. China’s AI progress is driven by massive government investment, extremely hardworking teams, and very smart engineers. The biggest bottlenecks are the closed internet, the Great Firewall, heavy government restrictions, and a lack of long-term patience. That combination pushes many teams to copy open-source code and scrape training data from models like OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini (which is why almost everyone here is using Claude via VPN, as you noted). They’re genuinely outstanding in specific domains like surveillance/monitoring systems, but I don’t see their generic foundation models ever fully competing with the best American ones.
English
Observations about Chinese AI work culture:
1. Many arrive at work late (11 am) and work until late at night (11 pm).
2. Due to the schedule above, many employees are young. Hard for parents to sustain the same schedule.
3. Everyone at these companies is using the best US AI tools like Claude Code via VPN. VPN is very common even for folks not working in tech.
4. Younger generation doesn’t really drink, smoke, or party much. Many just work all the time and order food and boba delivery to office.
5. Government is very supportive of AI startups including cities competing for the best AI founders to start companies locally. Beijing seems to be main AI hub.
6. Youth employment is still bad so gov is also encouraging OPC (one person companies) via subsidies and incentives.
Would love to hear other people’s perspectives on the above.

More observations from Shanghai: 1. A full-time, live-in nanny costs only $1,500/month and a personal chef costs $7/hour. There's alot of support for professional working couples here. 2. Didi (Chinese Uber) rides are $3-5 for most trips and you can order delivery for anything for a few bucks. Things are super convenient. 3. Speaking of cars, every Didi I've been in has been a Chinese EV. Feels like China has adopted EVs much faster than the US. Tesla has <5% market share here. 4. The best food is inside the high-end malls, which are everywhere. Service is outstanding at most places and you don't have to tip. 5. Now the tradeoffs - there are ALOT of people. Traffic is everywhere and motorbikes have no qualms about riding on the sidewalks. Have to be on the lookout for my kids. 6. I haven't seen a single blue sky day since I've been here. The air does feel a bit cleaner now thanks to the EVs. Overall, if you make anywhere close to US tech salary here you can live very well.

Completely agree — this is great! The switch from FSD back to manual has actually become dangerous for me lately. After driving with FSD for a while, my reactions get slow and “stupid”: I forget whether I need to go forward or reverse, I scramble to check mirrors, and everything feels rushed. Almost had an accident the other day. I truly believe FSD is already better than most humans. It should be the first choice in every Tesla.

FSD 14.3 is no longer telling you to take over. It's suggesting it. "Take-over recommended." That hints at Level 3 autonomy to me. @DavidMoss 👀
What do you guys think?
Spencer@scotsrule08
FSD 14.3 tried to save us. "Take over recommended." Did we listen? No. Did we get stuck in a mud field? Yes. Most epic FSD test we've ever done @DavidMoss 😄

Sharing my 14.2 experience: it was snowing at -5°C. I put it in Sloth mode but it was still doing 111 km/h. It felt way too fast for snowy roads, especially without snow tires, so I had to take over.
Common sense kicked in 😄
This is exactly why v14.3 is really good for safety — forcing Chill/Sloth in bad weather makes a big difference!
English
FSD V14.3 locks you into chill when it rains 🌧️
I absolutely love this! In V14.2 sometimes the car just drives a little too fast in the rain imo. This is a welcomed change.
Some People may hate this as it may be “too slow” for some people, but it will be inherently safer.
Plus they can always adjust this in future updates if it’s going too slow and it’s sprinkling for example!

During rain FSD 14.3 locks you into chill or sloth. Standard, hurry, and mad Max are not available.

Japan is the only major economy where a house loses 50% of its value in 10 years and hits zero in 22. By government statute.
The reason 9 million homes sit empty has nothing to do with "overlooked opportunity." Japan's tax code charges 6x more property tax on vacant land than land with a structure on it. Owners keep rotting houses standing because demolishing them triggers a tax penalty. The akiya crisis is a tax distortion, not a buyer's market.
The renovation math is where most foreigners get wrecked. A $15,000 house in Kyushu needs $30,000-$80,000 in renovation. Japanese banks won't give you a mortgage without permanent residency or years of employment history in Japan. You're paying cash for a structure the Japanese government officially considers worthless.
Then the resale trap. If a house was hard to sell in the first place, selling it again later is equally difficult. Rural Japanese land doesn't appreciate. The population in these areas is declining so fast that some villages will literally cease to exist within 20 years. You're buying into a market where your only potential buyers are other foreigners who saw the same viral tweet.
One guy who actually made it work, a Swedish model turned renovator, spent $110K total on purchase plus renovation for a single property. It brings in $11K/month in short-term rental revenue now. But he learned Japanese, moved there full-time, built community relationships for years, and got a minpaku license that caps rentals at 180 days per year in most areas.
The Italy comparison tells the real story. Those €1 homes came with mandatory renovation commitments of €15,000+ within three years or the town claws back the property. Japan's version is gentler but the underlying dynamic is identical: governments paying people to repopulate areas that economics has already abandoned.
The opportunity is real for a very specific person. Someone who wants to live in rural Japan, speaks or is learning Japanese, has cash, and treats the purchase as a lifestyle decision with a negative expected financial return. For everyone else reading this as a real estate arbitrage, the 9 million empty houses are empty for a reason.
Alessandro Palombo@thealepalombo
Japan has 9 million abandoned houses. By 2038, it's projected to be 1 in 3. Many of these sell for near-zero prices. The government covers 30–75% of renovation costs. Japan also places no restrictions on foreign property ownership, identical rights to citizens. Only a very specific profile would consider this. But there’s a lot of similarity to Italy's €1 home schemes, which were dismissed as gimmicks and are now attracting serious buyers to villages across Sicily and Sardinia. Japan's abandoned house market is a real entry point for people willing to look past the obvious. In Kyushu, you can also find move-in ready houses for $15,000–20,000 in towns with hot springs, fresh seafood, and Shinkansen access. I will be exploring later this year personally, but quality of life in Japan looks to be incredibly high. Is this one of the most overlooked property plays in Asia right now?

在加拿大开车紧张，即使交通不拥挤；在美国 I-90上开车，放松。
另外加拿大以前挂美加两国国旗的地方依然没有挂美国国旗😅，连福特公司的旗杆上也没有，胆小鬼。
加拿大的边警依旧很nice， 美国的也改进不少。

一开始没计划让弟学琴。只是我喜欢，在家自娱自乐。那会儿他快五岁，觉得那个大玩具真好玩，总跟我抢。后来我发现他通过耳朵去记住的音，比我快。我在用的Piano App也是被他用的淋漓尽致，又是弹又是唱，还不断玩音乐闯关，不亦乐乎。
接着疫情爆发，啥事儿都做不了，我们就在家看电影和各种钢琴演奏的视频。马克西姆演奏的《加勒比海盗》让我们看得很带劲儿，弟忍不住跟着模仿起来。在琴上摸来摸去不断试，竟然真被他摸出不少个音来。我又找出简易教学版的视频给他看，一两个月后，还不会识谱的弟，靠记忆视频里的琴键和自己的耳朵弹出了一小段《加勒比海盗》。

翻看他弹琴的视频，找到了。刚开始学琴的时候有一首曲子，几乎同风格😆。 音乐留下的印记。
