Charlie Kirk不是右，而是為了他的信仰不惜別人生命。美國每年中小學180起校園槍擊，Charlie Kirk卻說為了憲法第二修正案每年死幾個人值得 ("I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.") 這是活脫脫的美國版“我們不惜一切代價”啊。

🇺🇦Supporters of Ukraine have unfurled the world’s largest Ukrainian flag on the White House ellipse, pushing for the U.S. to continue its aid against the Russian invasion: “Do not abandon Ukraine!”

Even from the perspective of making money, Trump should support Ukraine's fight: minerals -> money -> buying US weapons. But he didn't. Why?
He could even evilly sell weapons to both sides. But he doesn't want money. Why?

If Ukraine should surrender or should have surrendered to Russia because they have/had no resource to win, then American Revolutionists should have not fought against the King of Britain. Three years later, I still stand with Ukraine and everyone who refuses to be a slave.

I am an American AI engineer. I wanna work for Ukraine to defend them and the freedom of myself. How can I help? (and I won't ask for Silicon Valley compensation)

中國科學的快速發展，也是scaling law的結果。10倍於美國的人口密度（你要對比上海和灣區），讓思想的碰撞和服務分工比美國高100倍。一個中國小孩想裝個機器人，一下午就能買齊元件。而在矽谷，要2-3天。所以人類的未來在東亞，全世界人口密度最高的城市一半在東亞， 美國居然在Oregon/Arizona造芯片，怎麼可能搞的過新竹和首爾？

美國衰落的原因很簡單： 人們不再喜歡聰明的人。平庸，或者說躺平，成為美國社會的追求。而與此同時，亞洲人民在文化傳統的影響下，sharpen their minds.

美國現在讓我覺得是個非常骯髒的國家，我為生活在這樣骯髒的國家深感不安。
1994年的今天（11/5），美，英，中，俄，同烏克蘭簽署 Budapest備忘錄，寫清楚如果烏克蘭放棄核武器，這四國有義務保護烏克蘭。
烏克蘭做了，美國放屁了，Trump說不提供武器，Biden在2024年只交付了國會批准的1/10的武器.
而與此同時，烏克蘭的城市被炸成加沙，2萬烏克蘭兒童被普京拐走。
歷史在重演，希特勒入侵捷克斯洛伐克，波蘭和挪威時，自由世界坐著不動，最後40萬美國青年付出生命的代價。

This papers' findings about testing LLMs on NLI aligns with many of personal thoughts:
1) NLI remains a difficult task for LLMs
2) Having more few-shot examples is helpful (in my view, helping LLMs better understand class boundaries)
3) Incorrect predictions are often a result of ambiguous labels
