A lot of it stems from the fact that Chinese education system is brutally competitive, and rich parents can’t buy their kids way into university. So, instead, they often just send their kids to prestigious western universities.


The secret sauce here is how the model was trained. Typically, coding models are trained on static snapshots of code from GitHub and other public sources. They basically learn what good code looks like at a single point in time. IQuest did something totally different. They trained their model using entire commit history of repositories.
This approach added a temporal component to training, allowing the model to learn how code actually changes from one commit to the next. It saw how entire projects evolve over months and even years. It learned the patterns in how developers refactor and improve code, and the real world workflows of how software gets built. Instead of just learning what good code looks like, it learned how code evolves.
Coding is inherently an iterative process where you make an attempt at a solution, and then iterate on it. As you gain a deeper understanding of the problem, you end up building on top of existing patterns and evolving the codebase over time. IQuest model gets how that works because it was trained on that entire process.


Aww look at you still malding your color revolution failed.


The whole AI as a service business model is cooked now. My prediction is that even stuff like coding will soon work well enough with local models. There are going to be very few cases to justify paying subscription for AI services either for companies or individuals. And this stuff is moving so incredibly fast.

He’s sacrificing the people of his country to fight a proxy war for America. This has now been admitted by no lesser person than the United States Secretary of State. Anybody who thinks that’s noble is an ignorant fascist.


You know this is one of the differences I notice in the mindset between people living under capitalism in the west, and people living under socialism in China. The former tend to be very pessimistic about technological progress because the first thought is always ‘how will this be used against me,’ and Chinese people are generally excited about new technology because their thought is ‘can’t wait to see how this will improve my life going forward.’


Gets called out on being a hypocrite, starts braying about tribalism. Peak liberal intellect in action here.
the most important part is to keep civility and moral high ground while being marched into the work camps


I love how libs throw around whataboutism as if it was anything other than exposing themselves as having a different set of standards for themselves and others.


To be fair, sales of all products have fallen in Europe as the result of European economies collapsing. And the specific reason for American products selling worse could simply be a result of American products are becoming more expensive in relative terms for the Europeans. with the moralizing being the justification rather than the core reason. Maybe if you want some real change you might want to figure out how to get out from under US occupation first. Don’t see Europeans rushing to dismantle all those American bases.
I mean it’s still a funny meme, but yeah using Lex Luthor or something would’ve been way more on point
This is such a great illustration of how easily liberals can justify creating a fascist state.


The key part is having an available energy gradient, and enough chemical variety for self replicating carbon chains to start forming. Pools of water are the dominant theory right now because the idea is that having solvent allows for free molecular movement, and if there was variation with them partially drying out, then they’d act as concentrators pushing these molecules closer together and making these reactions more propabable.


Makes sense, initial life forms had to do with what they had to work with. Couldn’t exactly get picky.


the whole population decline is largely based on people looking at wrong data
It’s only a matter of time until somebody figures out how to mass produce a computing substrate that will make silicon look like vacuum tubes. We don’t need to discover any new physics here. Numerous substrates have been shown to outperform silicon by at least an order of magnitude in the lab. This is simply a matter of allocating resources in a sustained fashioned towards scaling these proofs of concept into mass production, something planned economies happen to excel at.
