I got super angry reactions.

Now, the same thing is happening with open weights models, but in on a much more extreme scale. They exist because of excess capacity for whatever reason, and they will cease to exist when this excess capacity reduces. There is no use complaining about something not being open weights. What is productive is funding an effort.

Unfortunately, most complainers want others to do things for them, for free.

Are you supposed to have multiple YubiKeys (multiple private keys) and then ensure that all your systems accept the matching multiple pubkeys?

The guide's Backup section is... super vague. It says exporting keys, of which some are private keys, which I thought shouldn't be possible?? And then it goes off about partitioning and filesystems?

But westerners also underestimate the importance of 1-10 innovation. Scaling manufacturing and iterating on existing concepts are not at all trivial, and are also very valuable.

0-1 and 1-10 are complementary. Unfortunately, many people deliberately turn this into a pissing contest by accusing the Chinese of "only being able to steal" while ignoring how their own country is unable to produce basic goods like masks on a large a cheap scale, and can't fix a brige for less than xx million.

Besides, the Chinese st9ck market has been atrocious since.... pretty much forever. You'd think they still live in mud pools if you think the stock market is representative of overall development.

What people don't seem to understand is that China is developing in stages. Every 10 years there is a new stage, a new revolution, with different winners and losers. Maxxing out on the previous growth engine was already forseen 10 years ago. That's why they bit the bullet and decided to pay the price to transition to the next growth engine. All transitions are painful.

Besides, these are Chinese we're talking about. They'd even complain about the economy being bad even when it's growing 10% and they drive away in 2 luxury cars. When they say they're "barely surviving" they mean their savings account isn't growing.

When you look at the bad economy in China, are you looking at the costs, or are you looking at the development goals? Development goals have costs, not paying those costs to reach goals has even bigger costs pater on. The Made in China 2025 goals have already been largely achieved.

OpenCode is building their own inference and they've independently stated that DeepSeek's old (cheaper) pricing is achievable without subsidies.

Any repeatable way to prove your thesis or disprove the trashing-code-pages thesis?

But frankly, as a user I don't really care what the real technical reason is. I just don't think the system should become unresponsive for minutes on end during memory pressure. Just OOM-kill earlier, when it's supposed to.

This is not true, or the system wouldn't grind to a halt due to having to reload code pages (even those that are recently in use) from disk over and over.

For example, key presses and output streaming in SSH become unresponsive. The code pages for handling key presses and output streaming are obviously in use — I just used them!

So that only leaves anonymous data pages, i.e., regular data in memory, that could be swapped. Ok but you're not easing the load on code pages, those still get evicted during memory pressure whether you have swap or not.

Western sanctions have succeeded in achieving China's self-sufficiency goals where their own government failed.
