@zephyr_z9 literally, how do people keep falling for this. i live here and if u read the papers being published and the people working on LLMs, it's clearly foreigners. (yes, not to mention Chinese VPNs love Singapore)
Ah yes, Singapore. The place accounting for 15% of NVDA's revenue and happens to have the HQ of several big Chinese tech companies.
@zephyr_z9 any particular reason they prefer going through Singapore rather than HK?
@JamNana7 @zephyr_z9 It is not available in Hong Kong either. Many don't distinguish HK from China anymore
@zephyr_z9 Tbf we have a lot of Claude users here (just requested to buy another batch of licenses.
@zephyr_z9 And its "identify verification" service is good too🫡
@zephyr_z9 haha yes the 100m users in Singapore
@zephyr_z9 Wait wat?
is Claude blocked somewhere that they using VPN?
@JamNana7 @zephyr_z9 香港地区依然受限，即使是日本和韩国也有一些网站是禁止对方IP访问的，新加坡没有这些问题。
@zephyr_z9
@zephyr_z9 Smuggling chips to China works well as well
@zephyr_z9 Indonesian ISP block a lot of websites, which means a lot of people using Singapore as the nearest server location

@zephyr_z9 My strategy plan.
👇
@zephyr_z9 Pretty sure this is known and allowed lol
@notjazii @zephyr_z9 They are blocking China.
@zephyr_z9 Doing this currently and they’ve caught on with many VPN providers
@zephyr_z9 Let’s see how real it is since Nvidias allowed to sell chips to China now
@zephyr_z9 > be anthropic > publish a “china is dangerous” paper > china is your biggest customer

@zephyr_z9 Actually VPN performance has been garbage lately.
