    My annual letter: This year I discuss the weaknesses of Chinese technology capabilities and its future prospects; Olaf Stapledon and Philip K. Dick; semiconductors & defense spending; life in Beijing; Ford’s Model T; Goebbels; and the golden mole.

    Maybe now we can culturally remove the handshake tradition and move to elbow or fist bumps or nods?

    Ezra Klein makes a nice point here: It might be good for the smart college student not to line up that McKinsey job by senior year. The anxiety that comes with thinking hard about the future might be better in the long run than taking this well-paying job.

    I've written a lot about risk-aversion in US elites (e.g. ). The part of Tyler's article I disagree with is that tech may not be such a beacon of hope. More young people detect that consulting & finance are uncool, and thus move next on to the tech world.

    Too many smart young people move into law and consulting, which are "low-return, high-stability, establishment-oriented activities." And US elites are primarily drawing from this class of people who have had the capacity for risk-taking beaten out of them.

    Authors argue that Argentina embodied many of the characteristics of American success (endless frontiers, railways, European settlers, investment in agricultural technologies, vibrant urban centers, etc.) and did not succeed. Why was the US able to do so much better?

    So it's fun to read a paper titled: "The United States as a Developing Nation." How did it turn from an exporter of slave-produced cotton in 1850 to the world's greatest industrial power? A political transformation like the East Asia development states?

    It’s my first time in Rome, I think that anyone from San Francisco would feel immediately at home here. The same climate, and many of the buildings of SF are modeled on the Roman style. Roman food also seems to be the most exported style—the Cantonese of Italian cuisine.

    The Colosseum is a grand work. It’s also a reminder that the true measure of imperial power lies not in monuments, but in the extraterritoriality of legal instruments like the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Export Administration Regulations, Southern District of New York, etc.

    The 'Lamb of God' penny, issued in 1009 by Æthelred the Unready, in the hope that the Vikings would go away if everyone just believed a bit harder.

    DC is now a confusing world in which the Department of Commerce is keen to cut off the sales of US companies, while the Pentagon is trying to protect the ability of technology leaders (i.e. chips and aviation companies) to make revenue to fund the next round of R&D.

    Beijing’s big outdoor mall has set up a nice exhibit for Mulan. The movie is probably going to do great, I haven’t seen as much marketing for any of Disney’s other live-action movies.

    It’s a terrific idea for the US to embrace the term “developing nation.” Far better to be developing—growing, expanding, and improving—than to be developed: which means to be finished, completed, and done.

    I'm cited in the FT piece on deemed exports, the requirement to seek licenses for foreign staff working on controlled technologies. Right now that means fighter jets etc. Congress wants to designate AI as a controlled technology, which might limit employment of foreign nationals.

    Interesting to read reporting on Chinese engineers feeling greater anxiety in Silicon Valley (visas, FBI raids, exec advancement) ... with this piece on megaprojects drawing back Chinese scientists.

    I think we should maintain skepticism of the boldest claims. What happened when South Korea won the 5G race? Consumers felt little change: “I don’t feel the difference.” The article concludes with someone who reports a desire to switch back to 4G.

    I’ve just spent a week in DC, listening extensively to the panda hunters lobby argue that 5G is “different,” “the future of everything,” etc. The panda huggers have no response, which allows these national security arguments to have a run of the table.

    I'm a fan of this new effort to dig a superdeep hole. We've only penetrated 12/40km of the earth's crust “They are pure science undertakings and you never know quite know what you are going to find” "a deep rumbling sound that scientists couldn’t explain"
