or sold to US I could totally see this happening soon

Why would they want to sell ?

And what are they going to sell? The weights and the model architecture are already open source. I doubt the datasets of DeepSeek are better than OpenAI's

plus, if the US were to decide to ban DeepSeek (the company) wouldn't non-chinese companies be able to pick up the models and run them at a relatively low expense?

quote from tiktok's webiste https://usds.tiktok.com/usds-myths-vs-facts/: ``` Myth: TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance Ltd., is Chinese owned.

Fact: TikTok’s parent company ByteDance Ltd. was founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, but today, roughly sixty percent of the company is beneficially owned by global institutional investors such as Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group. An additional twenty percent of the company is owned by ByteDance employees around the world, including nearly seven thousand Americans. The remaining twenty percent is owned by the company’s founder, who is a private individual and is not part of any state or government entity. ```


Bytedance is HQ'd in Beijing and required by law to comply without exception with national security requests.

all network devices that terminates a subscriber (broadband or mobile) has a feature called LI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawful_interception, which is required by law in almost all countries one requirement is that operation of LI feature is totally separate from normal network operator, so that even normal network admin are not supposed to know what kind of LI operation is ongoing...


depends on how much "k8s native" code you have, there are application designed to run on k8s which uses a lot of k8s api and also if you app already micro-serviced, it is also not straight forward to change it back


now there are LTE modems


If you are the lte network, it gets a little tough to do oob that way, especially if you’re basically a monopoly in many service areas.


you can have the lte modem to connect to a different lte network


I think the reason behind it is similar to case where you are allowed to watch movie in theater with eye, but not with camera


But you can have someone that watches the movie give you a plot summary, and I assume some sort of AI device that does the same would also be alright.


That's why for example fan-made Star Wars movies are totally OK, and Disney has no issue with them, right? In such cases not even the plot is based on anything Disney "owns".

Also, it's OK to make a movie out of a plot summary someone who read some book gave you, right?

You really think such things become legal if you have some ML algos in the loop?

no worries, US will ban Chinese battery in no time: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-lawmakers-call-add-china...



Although that’s one of the many possible explanations of the Fermi paradox [0], I prefer to think that the real reason we haven’t discovered (or we haven’t been discovered) is the fact that we’re limited by the speed of light.

The distances are so vast, almost unfathomable, that we need Faster Than Light means of traveling. Perhaps I’m being naive or romantic, but I prefer to think this is the real reason :-)

Entropy is probably why.

Also as particles spread out, there's less of a chance of interaction, which by extension makes it so there's less of a chance that a system of electrical impulse that fires in a synapse would exist over large distances. This system, of course, would be the catalyst for producing such thoughts as "I wonder if we're alone in the universe."

That's not to say you can't send dense information over larger distances with a shorter wavelength (re: radiation; gamma rays)... it just means the flying saucers with little green men landing on earth are probably out.


The speed of light and great distances are indeed a limiter, but the universe has been around for billions of years. Even with the great distances, an interstellar civilization that's been around for millions of years would have had plenty of time to find us by now.


the latest hot one is eBPF/xdp, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express_Data_Path; however I think in most cases skipping kernel might not be such a great idea, a lot of kernel features are there for a reason (e.g. like routing/arp lookup, fragmentation/reassembly), if you skip them, it means you have to implement those features in user-space...


Maybe they should have been in user-space to begin with? Micro-service kernel, here we come.
