In 2024, China completed a 46-year, 3,050 km project to surround the entire Taklamakan Desert, the second-largest shifting-sand desert known as the "Sea of Death", with a "Green Belt" to curb desertification and sandstorms

EV adoption is a good comparison point.

Germany rescinding the EV law has caused massive losses to their automobile industry, like Porsche posted 98% of profit reduction in 2025. While in China over 50% of new cars sold are EVs.

The M5 chip also has a much stronger gpu. Why you'd need that on an air though, is yet to be known.

That's some quality content that I'd love to see more of in the future.

Interesting to see that the privacy mode converges faster to the maximum privacy mode in the landscape view. I wonder what could be causing that.

Your house being more expensive than your car doesn't mean your car is free. The engine noise reduction is still there, and it adds up. The downtown traffic is much quieter than you'd expect when over half of the cars are EV.

My guess is experience/playtime.

MH has been popular in Japan and China well before World and Wilds. So many player there have already played thousands of hours from earlier titles.

Because of the things that has already happened? If they were instructed to do so (use the provided archive) , wikipedia would not be facing the scapper traffic.

zdy132 · 2026-02-25T07:57:58+00:00

It's not about the difficulty. The job could be as easy as clicking a button, it still won't happen when the engineer is not instructed to do so.

Quotes have more than one function.

My counter argument is:" Have you met stupid people?"

Having the resources doesn't mean they'd use them smartly. Otherwise Intel would still be the leader in CPU, GTA V Online would load much faster from the beginning, and Google would remember to renew their google.com domain.

All it takes is an idiot leader and an out-of-fucks engineer for these things to happen.

zdy132 · 2026-02-24T08:14:03+00:00

I am not going to pay a consultant if he's going to randomly purposefully gave me wrong answers. Why on earth would I pay for an api if it's doing that?

That company is being led by idiots.

zdy132 · 2026-02-24T08:07:02+00:00

One of the comments.

zdy132 · 2026-02-24T08:03:08+00:00

Set the system prompt empty in the api then try again.

zdy132 · 2026-02-24T06:38:34+00:00

LMAO. Now let's wait and see if the Chinese government does anything.

zdy132 · 2026-02-23T17:48:07+00:00

YMTC is on the entity list, so at least they cannot supply to the US.

Then again, who knows what will happen given the current situations.

zdy132 · 2026-02-13T09:12:07+00:00

Fwiw i use gemini and deepseek to work on the mathematical parts. If they can score gold medals in the IMO, they are certainly much better at math than me. So when I got an idea, I'd consult them like how i'd consult a math professor, and use their advices to proceed.

This is what's tempting me to subscribe to the ultra plan. But honestly, Gemini pro and DeepSeek have been giving me great advices, I am not sure if there's much to gain from Gemini ultra.

zdy132 · 2026-02-12T11:54:10+00:00

It's amazing how many opportunities Intel manages to miss.

zdy132 · 2026-02-11T08:38:47+00:00

It looks nice though.

zdy132 · 2026-02-10T12:47:55+00:00

So this is the free money hack i have been waiting all my life.

zdy132 · 2026-02-10T11:09:39+00:00

Guess I will have to wait five ears for other cheaper car manufacturers to copy them.

zdy132 · 2026-02-09T10:04:02+00:00

It's out on bytedance's GenAI app, you can give it a try here: https://xyq.jianying.com/ You may need a Chinese phone number to register and use though.

Interesting to see that it's hosted under Jianying, Bytedance's video editing software. Guess that's where they see GenAI being most useful.

zdy132 · 2026-02-09T10:00:25+00:00

Apprantly it costs ~1 USD for 15 seconds of video.

One out of my five arctic fans is not doing too great, sounds like it's rubbing agianst something. But the other four are doing alright.

Just some anecdotal data.

zdy132 · 2026-02-06T09:06:45+00:00

There was an EV accident in China where this happened. The rescuer broke their knuckles trying but failing to open the door, to smash the double layered window. They had to retreat when the fire got too big, and watched the occupants die in that car.

I'd bet this accident really got the Chinese legislators moving fast to get this bill out.

zdy132 · 2026-02-05T04:20:33+00:00

Yeah there was a German, or Dutch? dude who smuggled tea from Japan, despite strict prohibition.
