> This is one reason why Deepseek & GLM are priced so cheaply, they are competing with impossibly low token prices in China. They have to keep prices low, in order for people to use them. This one does not make sense to me at all. De

I imagine FPGA could just be part of general CPU that provides user space APIs to program them to accelerate certain work flow, in other words, this sounds like exactly JIT to me. People may program FPGA as they need to, e.g. AV1 encoder&#x

sure there are hype around MCP, but how does that bridges to "MCP Is Mostly Bullshit"? the title is more or less click bait, even author admits it > I am not even saying MCP is bad tech or useless. It’s just one way among other

nit: replace "may have" with "has" but yes I am tired of seeing this kind of "news". they don't carry much useful information, more like noise nowadays

It is really fun and sarcastic to watch all this happening. U.S. Gov. tried to block China from accessing GPU resources very hardly to stop their AI development, but actually helped China to take a leap on developing efficient and more cost

I can imagine how depress Lee felt when being beaten by AI the first time, but looking at the bright side, we see Shin Jin-seo as the rising star in the AI-era of Go by leveraing AI to help him training.

from Company perspective, I think the answer is yes but from individual perspective I don't think that is the case. Since AlphaGo first time was released and beat world-class players, have all these players gone? not really, but it eve

I know other ecosystems do the same and those are baffling too, especially for the newer created languages like rust, which is why https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-sandboxed-determin... exists

I think sometimes the problem is coming from accidental typos instead of not trusting, say if one accidentally typed `pip install requests` into `pip install requestss` and if `requestss` is malacious then by the time one noticed the typo t

the fact that `pip install` just runs whatever is in `setup.py` is still mind baffling, even if the author weren't mallicious the `setup.py` can still do harm (say delete a file by mistake), there really needs to be an official way of
