It's also a huge propaganda opportunity to influence the distribution of groupthink.

So much that you can instantly tell if a model is Chinese by asking it about Tiananmen Square.

I just did a quick test between DeepSeek 4.1 Flash, GLM 5.3, and Kimi K3

- DeepSeek gave a canned PR response about how the Chinese government is about oeace and unity, and we shouldn't think about the past.

- GLM 5.3 acknowledges it and talks about it, even acknowledging the censorship of it.

- K3 will talk about it similarly to GLM.

Costs dropping opens you up to competition on price.

Only if your competitors offer their product at a lower price. And why would they? It's a race to the bottom.

Don't make me tap the sign: the majority of processors running C are weird little dirtbag chips of 16 bits or less sprinkled by the dozen.

but the C for them is its own little world playing by its own rules, separate from C used everywhere else.

And I bet that when you have only 16 bits of address space, you care how many bits every integer has.

Sadly, this isn't unique to micros...

Plus char could be signed or unsigned!

Never has been, but what makes you think the major players won't collude to keep prices high?

Intel and IBM have already done this almost this with their wide eDRAM caches.

The advantage in going wide is transferring cache lines rapidly, not the CPU bus interface.

Or on DRAM on die compute

Article says they weren't.
