wondering whether it was a human mistake or a CLAUDE model error.

that is larger than the HDD of my first PC.

love your very cute assumption that China is going to sit there and do nothing.

you must be living in the Disneyland?

Is this some kind of astroturfing comment? China is supporting Iran and Russia economically and technologically, and is preparing for a Taiwan invasion.

China's foreign policy has been rooted in non-interventionism since the time of Jiang. The only thing happening is Disneyland is belief that this is going to change because gas prices spiked above 10RMB/L

> assumption that China is going to sit there and do nothing

One of the few advantages this war might bring would be China letting American radars paint its kit.

> other countries also have access to them and could very well exploit.

only in your wet day dreams.

let's just look at Gallium which is arguably one of the most critical for defence. to produce 100 tons of Gallium, which counts for 10% of the global supply each year, you have to have 200 million tons of Alumina capabilities. "other countries" won't be able to do it, as they don't have affordable electricity and skilled workers to make the Alumina business itself profitable. how they are going to use or sell those Alumina? to absorb loss of 2 million tons of Alumina for each 1 ton produced Gallium, "other countries" will have to lift their Gallium prices to stupid level.

that is assuming Chinese choose not to fight back on the Alumina front - they control 60% of Alumina production worldwide, they can just flood the global market with cheap Alumina to bankrupt your Gallium production.

remember - 2 million tons of Alumina for 1 ton of Gallium.

Well I am referring about rare materials for battery, energy storage, solar panel because the discussion was about that.

I don't know about defense needs, could be true, but I guess they are much less important in volume that the other. You may be able to store them in case of disruption.

Gallium is of course crucial for modern solar panels, it is also becoming increasingly important in batteries as well.

Well in the case of gallium, I see that we have extremely efficient recycling capabilities. Around 90% recovery.

It doesn’t solve the production issue, but there are ways to counter that dépendance over china.

> this type of stuff really makes me doubt their AGI claims, why would they bother with this stuff if they were confident of having AGI within the next few years?

because AGI doesn't grow in a cage, it requires a piece of software running somewhere. someone has to build both to get that happen. that is like a high school level question.

Theoretically it only requires it for birth. One can argue that once we achieve the singularity, it could immediately scale on its own as it decides.

> One can argue that once we achieve the singularity, it could immediately scale on its own as it decides.

even if this is true, someone needs to build the platform and the software required to get to the singularity.

one can also argue that lots of $ is required to get to the singularity, taking control of how the world builds, deploys and operates the digital world is a proven avenue to get such $.

Typical llm user, thinks they're a genius.

The name is interesting, it is just like some aussies creating a new language calling it Anglo.

> This is Google v Oracle all over again - are APIs copyrightable?

No, it is completely different.

Claude was trained on chardet, anything built by Claude would fail the clean-room reimplementation test.

"The clean-room reimplementation test" isn't a legal standard, it's a particular strategy used by would-be defendants to clearly meet the standard of "is the new work free of copyrightable expression from the original work".

Claude must be trained on chardet already, it worked on chardet's code to optimize or rewrite it to be much better. This is the textbook definition of derivative works.

There is fewer then 2% of code a copy of chardet. When the developer of chardet had done it without AI, whats then? He is trained on the same code too.

just installed ghostty, looks cool. but my honest question is how it is significantly better than iterm2 to justify such a switch? I am aware of the fact that it is faster, uses less memory, various configurations is more straight forward. but is that all?

I have the feeling that I must be missing something big here.

I’ve been using iTerm2 for years. I’ve tried ghostty a few times and quickly went back to iterm each time for various reasons I can’t immediately recall. There is nothing I can think of lacking from iterm.

That said; if I was working more on Linux or Windows where iterm doesn’t exist it looks like ghostty would be a good option.

Same. As far as I can tell, Ghostty is still in active development and unfinished. For regular use iTerm 2 is a complete product that can be relied upon.
