I see. The following two statements (headlines) stand out:

* We should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China

* We should crack down on industrial-scale distillation operations

That's not quite a ban of local ML inference, but it basically says that he doesn't want companies in China to create their own state of the art models.

No; it's the other headline, mandatory US government certification, that would ban Americans from running their own Chinese large models.

Over the past decade I've noticed on HN the following order of frequency in choice of words, most common to least:

1. Citation

2. Source

3. Reference

Long ago in a career based on original research, I/we ONLY used "reference."

While it is definitely over a decade at this point (over two in fact), some of this likely comes from the term [citation needed], that originated on Wikipedia, as a cynical backhanded response to unsourced claims. It has become a catch-all. Language and how it evolves is a pretty interesting subject.

You're right. Has to be of Wikipedia use origin. Thanks!

OP here. You came to the right conclusion. This is inspired by Wikipedia.

Pretty sure (citation needed) predated wikipedia.

bookofjoe 2 hours ago | parent [-]

Perhaps, but I'm betting "reference" significantly antedated the Wikipedia-induced ubiquity of "citation [needed]."

I could have written more words, but they would have not conferred more meaning.
