Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.

Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.

All this to defend your position that billions of people don’t have a way to say “yes”.

You don’t have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I’m just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

Example: https://lemmy.world/comment/8043602

Example: there’s a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say “yes”. It’s… weird, to be charitable.

You have adequately demonstrated your knowledge. Ten years is not that long. It’s happening. We should prepare for it, not deny the reality which is what most do.

How about “shi”…?

A lot can happen in ten years these days. For some reason I always have to state this every time this topic comes up: I never said it was going to be easy. It’s not going to be fast. It is going to happen, though.

I work with a few people from China. What do you think they will say if I ask them if they have a way to say yes to other people in the language they speak when they call their parents?

Leg warmers are back.

This is a very different take from “Chinese people just can’t do this no matter how much time, money, and talent they devote to it” which is what I’m taking about.

It’s going to turn out that a nation of billions can, surprisingly, figure out how to make chips domestically once it is no longer possible obtain them efficiently from external markets. This might take a few years to ramp up but it will happen and the market will be flooded.

Most people I’ve talked to on forums like this believe it is impossible for various reasons that center around technical competence.

I am no lover of Chinese governmental policies but this attitude is both racist and risky. I am old enough to remember people saying Japam was only good at copying Western inventions, for example. I also remember a few years later when everyone wanted to learn to speak Japanese and The Book of Five Rings was the hot CEO book of the month.

China will figure this out.

I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn’t look closely and thought “yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I’d be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he’s probably one of my cousins”.

I’ll just divert all my calls and texts to my wife’s phone and have my son handle all my administrative tasks. I’m also refusing to check email before noon and I decline meetings because they are not productive.

Hang on, my wife just told me my boss says I no longer have to work at all now!

Do you think an LLM can beat you in tic tac toe?

Also, I’m sure they will not use the conversion rate at higher prices to test out a higher base price.

People are having a really hard time understanding that, yes, he is facing consequences at long last. The next step is seeing if the RNC will foot the bill.

If anyone did, I’d say it was the AG at the time. His father basically got Epstein started and there’s no way he wasn’t thinking about all the dirty laundry that was going to be aired.

Allegedly, and so forth.

Hey, it’s been a really long time since I had to reboot windows to change my IP. /s

I would have accepted a Garfield phone.
