Is R1-Zero more than optimized textbook learning/distillation? I'll check out the paper.
I covered the Jamaica disparity by "unless you think there's something fundamentally different about the Chinese". In the case of people from some parts of the world being faster runners there is something different about them genetically, that translates directly into superior athletic performance. Is that the case for Americans vs Chinese? I don't know but haven't seen much evidence of it. The gaps are probably more due to culture and government i.e. artificial and quickly fixable, if they want to.
