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 than combined token counts for Gemini (2.5 Flash + 3.5 F

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 the US. This is for actually building things. On the tertiary

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 Silicon Valley tech companies. When EVs completely replaces

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 new smartphone model with more RAM than one 4 years ago. Als

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 for lithium batteries got momentum due to electric buses and

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 government industrial policy. The real reason is EU

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 would be different if the author analyzed Chinese smar

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 adds extra validity. This is like an Chinese intern

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 phones, DJI drones, Haier appliances, Ninebot scooters, I

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 just keep walking the same path of technologi

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 aggregate the cost of additional public sector investm

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 the be-all-end all. However, on first level principles,

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.

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 with GDP per capita around 30k USD. China would essent

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

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 having to click through a link.

I get a grande drip coffee every morning just for the star. Looks like I now have to go 32 times to earn the reward. Guess it was too good to last; I'm going to stop using the reward system and just drink coffee from the office.

My guess is that Apple didn't want their customers ruining their phone screens by putting heavy objects on it. By accepting the app, Apple is implicitly allowing the use case of using the phone as a scale.
