Huang’s challenge is to remain in good standing in the U.S. while pursuing opportunities in China’s vast market.

The market for initial public offerings cooled in the mid-1980s before collapsing after the stock market crash in 1987, and foreign corporations, particularly from Japan and Korea, flooded early-stage companies with capital.

新兴行业对投资的贡献，正在逐步盖过房地产对中国投资与资本开支的拖累。这似乎是一个积极的临界点现象。然而，这些变化仍然发生在供给端。如果我们看需求端，比如消费需求（社会零售总额），比如出口需求（接下来面临关税后的真实出口量），这两部分的增速可能还是相对较低的，仍然很难完全超越投资增速，使得大家生产的产品和服务能够卖上好价钱，拉动通胀。

two leaders stressed their common ground along with big-ticket investments in tech and energy, while skirting over the areas where they diverged, including trade and Ukraine

The Trump team also embarked on negotiations with other countries partly aimed at forming a united front to “isolate China,” as described by some Trump advisers.Beijing shifted into playing hardball.

in recent years, as TikTok has sought to regain trust with American users and regulators, it has partnered with Oracle to route U.S. TikTok users' activity through the Texas-based company's servers.

Unlike Xi’s last round of supply-side reforms, there’s little prospect of massive stimulus or a renewed construction boom to restore the growth rates of the past.“The whole industry is experiencing a test,” said Golden Precision’s Wang. “For now, we need to survive first

During the forward pass, if a GPU needs parameters it doesn’t own, it fetches them from the GPU that does own them (all-gather)

Tensor parallelism is typically combined with data or pipeline parallelism to form hybrid schemes that scale to the largest models while balancing memory, compute, and network overhead.

By avoiding full-model replication it enables training of very large networks, but demands careful graph partitioning and introduces heavy inter-device communication that can idle GPUs unless mitigated with techniques such as pipeline parallelism.

在外卖本身不太赚钱的背景下，各家依旧砸钱挺进外卖市场，更多是因为相对其他消费需求，餐饮外卖属于高频需求，各家都希望把外卖作为流量入口为其他业务引流，而高频打低频的引流操作之所以能够成立，是因为用户对平台的忠诚度正在均质化。

if AI creates a productivity explosion in the next few years, short and mid term firm profits will rise sharply, but will not be fully reflected into the CAPE ratio for 10 years. This will cause the CAPE ratio to suggest that the market is highly overvalued, when in fact it may not be.

in mid-2008 at the nadir of the financial crisis S&P500 earnings across the board fell about 90% in about one year. Despite stock prices also going down significantly, this caused the market P/E at the time to spike over 120. For that reason, rather than use the current P/E, when doing long-term analysis it is more useful to use the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE) ratio.

Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, for example, has visited China to meet executives at CATL, the world’s largest battery maker, and has held preliminary talks with Chinese EV giant BYD about a potential battery manufacturing tie-up

Pessimism about the job market increased, with more people surveyed saying they expect their income to decline, according to polling done by think tank the Conference Board.The middle class—generally considered to include households making roughly $53,000 to $161,000 a year—is playing an outsize role in that waning optimism.

Diatomaceous earth filters has been generally accepted to be the top contender for removing pollutants while having a high efficiency rate. When applied to pool filtration, a DE filter has demonstrated its capability in capturing varying particle sizes to maintain water clarity. Recent studies show that diatomaceous earth filters have been able to remove particles, ranging from 1-6 micrometers (micron) in size, thus maximizing water quality.

The menu at Rooster & Owl is set at $65 per person, giving diners a choice of four dishes on each of the four courses. The food will range from an opening snack of pineapple buns, a dim sum staple of Tang’s childhood in Hong Kong that pastry chef Olivia Green has refined, to a first-course option for Carolina-style barbecue carrots that get coated in a dry rub, grilled, paired with a vinegar-based sauce, and served with cornbread ice cream.

Rational access contrasts with a broader conception of intentional access that takes a mental state to be access-conscious if it can inform goal-directed or intentional behavior including behavior that is not rational or done for a reason

Saks更改了免运费政策：不再支持 Shoprunner（一个免运费服务）、而且免运费条件变成金额至少 $100 了（感谢美卡论坛 qhhuyanzhuo 发文提醒）。白金卡的福利是每半年给 $50 credit，因此这就非常尴尬了。以后要么承担$10的运费，买的东西尽量贴近$40的价格；要么买到$100以上（Saks卖的东西偏贵，很容易被反撸）；要么去线下实体店买$50的实体 gift card 留着以后用了。

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors This chapter has a value in itself.

This conception of the “objective reference” of sense experience is grounded in a phenomenology of perceptual constancy

every mental phenomenon is “of an object” in the intentional sense

one might also hold that content only determines satisfaction conditions relative to context. This seems especially plausible when we consider thoughts expressed with indexicals or demonstratives. (When I think, on multiple occasions, of multiple objects, this is F, what makes what I think true may differ with context, but what I think of each this (and how I think of it) on each such occasion may be just the same

the non-existent just discussed is closely associated with the potential for falsehood, error, inaccuracy, illusion, hallucination, and dissatisfaction

the intentional-object theorist accepts, whereas his critic rejects, the validity of the rule of existential generalization for both intentional and non-intentional relations, whether the relata of the intentional relations are concrete particulars in space and time or not

The mouse was developed by Apple, but designed by Hovey-Kelley (renamed IDEO in 1991[7]), who built hundreds of prototypes and conducted exhaustive testing with focus groups in order to create an ideal shape for the Lisa mouse.[8] The Lisa mouse was subsequently used as the foundational design for Apple mice, until the introduction of the multi-button design on the Mighty Mouse in 2005.

Research is a time-intensive process, often requiring hours of reading and analysis. SciSpace streamlines this process by offering quick summaries, related papers, and highlighting future works.

Using Apple’s trade-in system is also often one of the best ways to maximize the return on your investment, as Apple often offers the highest prices for its products

By forward chaining through contrasting citation statements or looking at recent studies that have both a high support and contrasting citation count you will easily be able to surface on-going debates

the focal synthesis note is instantiated as a page. The observation note about secondary attack rates is transcluded into (via block reference, and therefore a part-of) the synthesis page. The context snippets are linked to the observation note via indentation in the outline as well as via hyperlinks to their block references, all of which create explicit bi-directional links in the underlying database between the items.

Parallelisation can be a powerful tool, if used properly, however, the development and de-bugging time can often outweigh the computational gains.

In a world where pauses and breaks are ever shorter, if present at all, both Nietzsche and Han stress the importance of stepping back and the need to develop the ability to resist the multitude of available attractions (saying no to all the shiny new books, perhaps…).

Dem neuen Menschentyp, der dem Übermaß an Positivität wehrlos ausgeliefert ist, fehlt jede Souveränität.  Der depressive Mensch ist jenes animal laborans, das sich selbst ausbeutet, und zwar freiwillig, ohne Fremdzwänge.  Er ist Täter und Opfer zugleich.

frame of reference and non-ideal thermodynamic effects nearly offset each other for highly charged samples

Unlike document editors such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs, LaTeX separates the process of writing your content from the process of formatting it

This affects several important property calculations including conductivity and transport number, which are related to the weighted sums of diffusion coefficients of all species

Previous modeling efforts to rationalize this observation, notably by Yip and co-workers, have produced complex systems of equations underpinning the trade-off relationship. (6,9) However, these modeling efforts have not achieved an analytical expression for the upper bound relationship in the same instructive manner as in Freeman’s seminal study for gas separation membranes.

once you have more than a few cases, comparison becomes computationally difficult, and the use of mathematical expressions becomes key in arranging data in ways that let us see the signal in the noise.

Quantification is ultimately linguistic: it is a form of translation. Most of our descriptions start as ‘ordinary language’, and in some cases, we ‘code’ those descriptions using numbers rather than words

application of electricity offers an enormous opportunity to enhance selectivity in separations that involve charged solutes, even if the membrane material itself has poor selectivity.

Separations in the uncharged/charged category, such as water desalination by RO or PV, permeate the uncharged solute (e.g., water) and reject the charged solute (e.g., NaCl = Na+ and Cl–). The membrane charge enhances the performance of uncharged/charged separations that are driven by pressure, which is a major reason this category features higher selectivity than the others

We conclude that this simple capacitor model successfully captures the main physical reason behind the low dielectric constant ϵ⊥ of water in nanoconfinement

code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code—changing the factoring—without changing its external behavior. Refactoring is intended to improve the design, structure, and/or implementation of the software (its non-functional attributes), while preserving its functionality. Potential advantages of refactoring may include improved code readability and reduced complexity; these can improve the source code's maintainability and create a simpler, cleaner, or more expressive internal architecture or object model to improve extensibility

战役暴露了明军诸多问题，最大的有两点：其一是丁酉之战明军兵员素质较壬辰之战时大幅度下降，战况利则一拥而上，不利则一哄而散，反映了明军精兵较少，冗兵较多的现实问题；其二是各部缺乏配合，如果此战中后军坚守阵线不退，则可以稳住前军军心以图再战或者至少将损失降到最低而不至全军溃败沦为鱼肉。

最终，明廷认定：“倭寇之图朝鲜，意实在中国，而我兵之救朝鲜实所以保中国”，因而答应让李昖渡过鸭绿江寻求庇护，居住在明境辽东半岛的宽奠堡，同时出兵援助朝鲜

Modulation, the shifting from one key to another, was a driving principle in both harmony and sonata form, the primary Western large-scale musical structure since the middle of the 18th century. Modulation maintained harmonic interest over an extended time-scale, provided a clear contrast between musical themes and showed how those themes were related to each other.

lower hydrated ionic radius for the same valence offers higher ion exchange selectivity

歌德老师和黑格尔老师都会同意，一定信息粒度以上的人类历史就是天才史，或者说精英史。什么叫精英？选出人类最重要的一百种活动——比如文学，数学，政治之类——每种选有史以来前一百强，这一万名精英创造了精神意义上的人类历史的90%+甚至99%+，其余的几千亿人都是时代背景，模型变量而已

任何信仰、故事、或命題，只要它們起作用的方式跟古老故事對原始人起作用的方式是一樣的，都可視為神話。換言之，任何我們用來解釋萬物為何如此的事物、或者任何被我們當作行為典範的事物，都可以視為神話。

以《老子》比附黑格尔的辩证法就像以算盘比附计算机一样是历史错位、牵强附会。黑格尔的辩证法恰恰建立在对以往经验主义科学扬弃的基础上

What is notable about WhatsApp is that the key identifier is not your account, but rather your phone number; any sort of technological lock-in has completely disappeared

Evidence cannot verify a theory. It cannot even select a theory

What I believe happened this weekend was a uniquely American solution to the problem of Trump’s refusal to concede and attempts to incite violence: all of corporate America collectively decided that enough was enough, and did what Congress has been unable to do, effectively ending the Trump presidency. Parler, to be honest, was just as much a bystander casualty as it was a direct target. That the tech sector is the only one with the capabilities to actually make a difference is what makes the industry stand out.

Assuming that advertising revenue is a reasonable proxy for attention, it turns out that humans like pictures more than text, and moving pictures most of all; so it has gone on the Internet.

the Internet: by removing friction it removes the need for folks in the middle, and the result is that value will flow to the edges. In the case of publishing that is aggregators on one side, and focused, responsive, and differentiated 5 writers and publications on the other.

the change in droplet shape does reflect processes occurring at the interface, and as such are a good proxy for the polymerization kinetics

年轻一代的学生自己要决定这个辩论的价值在哪儿。当你看他们两位在争论甚么问题的时候，你可以考虑这对你自己有甚么启发，让你想到甚么，让你更想知道甚么，从而让你想找一个更好的回答。我这么想，如果真能达到这个效果，那就算是成功的争论。

革命不是要追求一个终极的没有矛盾的天堂，那是不现实的。革命其实是要你醒着，不要睡觉，让你看到矛盾、看到丑陋、看到问题就够了，然后你要不断地去斗争。斗争之后，可能又会有新的问题、更严重的问题出现，没有关系。只要你醒着，知道问题，继续斗争，这就是一切，这就是意义。

It thus leads to a relative reduction in the benefits of trade for those close to ports or origin locations and a relative increase in these benefits for those far away.

those that are disunified – are rejected (or not even considered) whatever their empirical success might be

But, then, the existence of books, no matter how grim the tale, is itself a sign, evidence that humanity endures, in the very contagion of reading.
