If you're going to compare OpenRouter numbers for DeepSeek at least use the same metric to compare Gemini. During last week DeepSeek V4 Flash did 3.72T tokens which is way higher t…

Ironically, Compound suffered a even bigger issue (money wise) a few weeks ago: * https://rekt.news/compound-rekt/ * HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28716979

Just compare construction GDP between China and US. Both report a similar amount nominally (once adjusted for exchange rate), but China uses more than 10x the cement and steel as t…

Combine the e-scooter with the bike sharing concept and you'll have the next big revolution.

Don't think I can ever convince people like you. In terms of scale, driving down costs and adoption, Tesla is a shrimp. Keep being arrogant and think the world revolves around Sili…

1) New models will obviously have more range than ones 4 years ago... My point was the Tesla Semi should be treated as incremental rather than revolutionary, just like releasing a …

This is typical Silicon Valley hype taking credit for everything. There were many EV manufacturers around the same time as Tesla (ex. Nissan, BYD). Even earlier, the supply chain f…

This is a very Silicon Valley / US bubble mindset. Telsa/GM/Nissan have made much contribution but your are missing the major factor driving the EV industry forward which is govern…

Completely agree with you. The article looks at just a few companies and use them to claim Chinese brands as a whole won't succeed internationally ever. Very myopic. The conclusion…

Whenever China is discussed on HN, someone usually pops up with overly negative and biased comments that explain why China is doomed prefaced with "I have lived in China" like it a…

Just walk around a BestBuy in the US and you'll quickly realize how many Chinese brands there are: TP-Link routers, Huawei routers and phones, Lenovo laptops, Hisense TVs, ZTE phon…

I don't get it. US workers still have 5x higher average income than China. Doesn't this suggest there are still a ton of technological improvement left to exploit? Why can't China …

Can you elaborate? From the article, Pettis assumes the following is true: 1) China has overinvested in infrastructure and manufacturing capacity to such an extent that in the aggr…

When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. My problem with these kind of analysis is that it pretty much only looks at things from a financial perspective thinking it's t…

Wonder why DIY houses aren't a thing anymore? Seems like a good idea. I think self-assembling DIY house would be a huge game changer.

They're also neighbors who live in the same neighborhood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medina,_Washington You can kinda see both of their mansions (covered by privacy hedges) when…

It would probably require 15-20 years if automation does reach the scale to have macro-level effects on employment. By that time China's economy will be 2x-3x bigger than it is now…

If the internet was invented before antibiotics or animal husbandry, you could post the exact anti-GMO argument for those technologies as well.

That's 1 Uber of value lost!

Nice widget. If Google Search can have an obscure widget like this, they should also do a calendar widget. It pains me every time I search for calendar to do a quick look up and ha…
